"Good morning mother, grandma and grandpa." Kizy said cheerfully.

"Happy birthday Kizy!" Mary said before passing a gift box to her.

Kizy instantly opened the box, only to find an entirely black gown, covered in black diamonds and pearls with a gothic vibe. She remembered that this was the dress which had won first prize in International fashion week, which was also the first win for 'Purple'.

But the most important part about this dress was, it was the only piece ever created. From fabric to its accessories, all of them were rare, making it one of the most expensive dresses in this world.

"Only you can carry it without giving off a negative aura." Mary said proudly.

"You don't have to waste it on me. This is way too precious." Kizy said, not knowing how she was supposed to accept such an expensive gift.

"Nothing is more precious than my daughter." Mary said with a smile before rubbing her head.

"Daughter-in-law you mean." Markus said.

Meanwhile grandma and grandpa were fighting amongst themselves.

"See, she wished me first. I told you that I am her favourite." Grandma said cockily.

"She simply wished according to age. She first wished Mary, then you and me. Because I am the senior most over here." Grandpa said, not ready to accept grandma's statement.

"Hmmmphh! Dream on." Grandma said before crossing grandpa and going towards Kizy.

"Happy birthday child!! I made these for you." Grandma said, wrapping a woolen maroon scarf around Kizy's neck, which was coincidentally matching her heels.

Grandma placed the other three sarves on the table.

Kizy felt so warm by grandma's gesture. She simply hugged her tightly.

"Happy birthday Kizy!!" Grandpa said before Kizy could thank grandma properly.

"Thank you grandpa." Kizy said.

"This is for you." Grandpa said and took out a wooden box with beautiful carving and diamonds attached to it.

Kizy carefully opened it, only to open her mouth wide, surprised at the unexpected gift.

Lying inside the box was a M1911, though one look and Kizy knew it was different than the regular model.

"Can I open this?" Kizy asked excitedly, not being able to keep her hands to herself anymore.

"Yes of course." Grandpa said lovingly.

Kizy immediately took out the gun, disassembled it completely, excitement visible in her eyes when she saw the modifications made to it.

"This would be way too expensive!" Kizy exclaimed, reassembling the gun.

"No. Not at all." Grandpa said, trying to hide the facts.

"No. I know. Colt was never a cheap gun to begin with. Plus you have added modifications, even increasing the magazine capacity. This would surely cost a fortune!!" Kizy said, carefully keeping the gun back in the box.

"Why have I never received such gifts and treatment?" Markus asked jealously after watching Kizy being showered with all the love, especially the gun part.

"You were adopted." Nicole said and laughed, making the entire family laugh except Markus.

"You called all of them?" Kizy asked Markus, happiness visible in her eyes.

"No. Do you think I even need to call them. They came here on their own, and are about to eat a free breakfast that which is made by me." Markus said monotonously.

"You made those?" Mary asked, looking at sandwiches made by Markus.

"Yes. But they are for Kizy. You won't get any." Markus said with a smirk.

"You can have them all." Kizy said with a smile.

"No. I made them for you." Markus said.

"Don't you feel ashamed while acting so petty?" Grandpa said.

"No." Markus answered firmly.

"Brat. Next time onwards you will have to bring your own lunchbox to the mansion. I will only cook for Kizy." Grandma said.

Markus looked shocked at his grandparents, not believing they would treat him so badly.

"Only one sandwich each." Markus said dejectedly.

And thus the family of six had a hearty breakfast.

"Have you planned anything?" Mary whispered to Markus once the breakfast was over.

"Yeah don't worry. In fact you three should leave soon so that I could start with my plan." Markus said.

"Look at you. Forgetting us once you have your wife." Mary said dotingly.

After half an hour, three of them left for their mansion, wishing Kizy once again.

"Let's go." Markus said.

"Where are we going?" Kizy asked.

"That will be a surprise." Markus said with a smile.

Markus, Kizy and Nicole came out of the house.

"We don't want a third wheel between us. You go with him." Markus said, pointing towards Joel.

"Why though? Anyways your car can accomodate five passengers. I can definitely come with you." Nicole said.

Kizy had seen how much grandma, grandpa and Mary doted on Nicole and understood that she definitely had a good personality.

"Let her come with us." Kizy said.

"No. Today I'll be driving and you will accompany me in the front passenger seat. We don't need a light bulb in between." Markus said.

"You make it sound as if we are a very romantic couple." Kizy said with a poker face.

"Of course we are!" Markus said and held Kizy's hand, dragging her towards his bugatti.

Thus left with no other option, Nicole had to accompany Joel.

"How can you work with such a psycho? Have you never thought of leaving his side?" Nicole asked, pissed off from Markus's act.

"Boss has done a lot for me. Even if I die and come back to life, I can never repay him." Joel said in a serious voice.

"Okay okay. No need to get all senti. But do we HAVE to follow them? Like I can see that he would be more than happy to go along with his beloved wife. Why should we go with them?" Nicole asked.

"I think you will like the place, Miss Nicole. Wait till we reach there." Joel said and started the car.

*IN MARKUS's CAR*historical

"Why are you being so nice to me?" Kizy asked Markus after they had started driving.

"I was always nice to you, little lamb." Markus said, looking straight ahead.

"Why don't I remember anything like this?" Kizy said, looking out of the window.

"No problem. I will be nice to you everyday so that you will have enough memories to remember." Markus said.

"Arrghh Markus!! Stop it." Kizy said frustratedly.

"What happened?" Markus looked at Kizy, shocked at her sudden outburst.
