"What do you want me to do?" Kizy asked, the shiny and cold Kizy coming back again.

"Could you just follow him and protect him in secret? I know I am asking for a lot cause even I don't know how long Markus would be staying there. But will you please just stay by his side? He is powerful, but I don't want him to be in danger, especially when he is all alone." Kizy asked, only wishing for Markus's safety.

"The thing is, I have been allocated by both Markus and Jason to protect you. In fact not just me, but First sister, Harry and Jason himself have accepted this as a mission from Markus." Victor said in a calm tone.

"What!! What do you mean by that? When did Markus ask you for this mission? And why will he do this??" Kizy asked all the questions in one go, not being able to remain calm anymore.

"Calm down, second sister. I will tell you the details tomorrow. We all will be arriving in A city tomorrow morning." Victor answered.

Kizy paused for a moment, her mind in utter chaos from all the thoughts and possibilities she could think of.

"Okay." Was the only thing Kizy said before hanging up and rushing back to the Evans mansion, as she knew she wouldn't be able to contact Markus because of his flight.

"Grandpa!" Kizy called out even before she could enter the hall.

Grandpa, who was busy inside his study, immediately came out, recognizing it was Kizy's voice.

"Are you alright, child?" Grandpa asked before stopping right in front of Kizy, checking up on her.

"Yes." Kizy answered, trying to calm herself down before she could speak anything rashly.

"That's a relief. Why were you calling my name so urgently?" Grandpa asked, going towards the sofa and sitting down.

"Do you know where Markus has gone? What all might happen there?" Kizy asked, still panicked even after trying hard to calm herself.

Grandpa didn't say anything in return, further confirming her suspicion.

"You know something, right?" Kizy asked, her voice dropping.

"Hmmm." Grandpa said, nodding his head, knowing he couldn't hide everything from Kizy.

"Where?" Kizy asked, having a bad feeling about this.

"I promised Markus that I won't tell anyone about his solo trip. In fact even his grandma and mother are unaware about this. They only know what he has told the rest of you, about the branch in country F." Grandpa said, sighing at the end.

"But what if he is in danger? He didn't even take Joel along with him!" Kizy said.

"I had already warned him about the same. But you know how he is. Even after my efforts, he wasn't convinced, so I had no option but to let him do whatever he wanted." Grandpa said, guilt ridden.

"Is it Imperial Nation?" Kizy asked, trying to be brave but her trembling voice selling her out.

"I can't tell anything. That's the only thing my grandson asked me to do. And I would abide." Grandpa said, knowing he was being unjust with Kizy.historical

Kizy just stood there, her head aching from all the sudden news that Markus had left behind.

Finally she sat on the sofa, unable to withstand her own body weight.

"Child, just handle the company matters. Markus is not the one to take useless risks. If he has gone somewhere on his own, it means he has the confidence to do whatever he had planned." Grandpa said, a sense of pride visible in his voice.

"But how could you let him go alone?" Kizy argued, her heart beating abnormally.

"Didn't we do the same with you when you were sent to Aaron? If I have the nerve to send my newly wed Granddaughter in law to a different city for a mission, why will I stop my grandson from doing so?" Grandpa said.

"I am leaving city A tomorrow." Kizy declared while getting up, angry at grandpa for the first time.

"Have a look at this before you leave." Grandpa said, taking out a piece of paper from his pocket before handing it to Kizy.

Kizy looked confusedly at grandpa, but still opened the paper, and in no time she recognised who the writer was.

"To my feisty little lamb,

I guess it hasn't been even an hour after my flight when you are reading this, as expected from my smart wife. I know I have been a terrible person since the beginning and even more of a devil husband who hasn't done anything for his lovely wife.

But this time I am doing something, and I want you to support me for that. Please don't do something rash, especially when you are not in your right state of mind.

I know you must be hating me to the core right now for lying about everything, but please understand. I never wanted to betray you, but I don't want to see you struggling or getting scared of someone or maybe fearing that something might happen to us.

I have thought it over and over again and this was the best plan I could set up. I only plead with you to stay in city A, in fact if possible, just visit the office and our mansion. Don't go anywhere alone.

Your team of four along with Nicole, Joel, Jack and Alex will be there to take care of all your needs. Do listen to them cause I have instructed them to do so.

Also, I have a small wish. I want to see my wife conquering the business in our city before I return. And I know that if you truly want to, you will be able to do that easily.

Do not overwork and exhaust yourself. Similarly don't skip your meals. Take care of yourself cause I want to see a healthy Kizy once I am back.

I miss you already. Anyways I'll be back soon so please don't remain angry or upset anymore. Cheer up my little lamb!! And I LOVE YOU.

Mr. Devil."
