"Yes Boss." Joel instantly came forward, knowing that his boss was about to go on rampage mode.

"Contact Mr. Lee and ask him to manage the police and let me meet Aaron tonight. I will be killing him personally with my own hands." Markus said while emitting his murderous aura.

"Boss, you mean you will go back now to kill him?" Joel asked confusedly.

After all, he had just returned from C city. If he had planned to kill Aaron from the beginning, he could have stayed till night and came back only after killing him.

"Yes." Markus replied with a single word..

Of course he could have stayed for a few more hours and returned only after killing Aaron. But the moment he heard Kizy saying 'Take me back home', he just had one thing in mind, to return back earliest.

Markus wasn't an impulsive person to begin with. But the moment he heard her pleading voice, especially after witnessing how Aaron was treating her, he just couldn't stay there for another minute.

And it was then he decided to bring Kizy back, spend some time with her and normalize her emotions and then go back to C city, because Aaron's death could no longer be delayed.

"I will contact Mr. Lee then." Joel said and bowed before leaving.

After fifteen minutes, Kizy came down to have dinner with Markus.

"Young Miss, we still need ten more minutes to finish cooking. Should I serve you soup till then?" Butler asked.

"Anything is fine." Kizy said with a smile.

"Serve the soup then." Markus said from behind.

"Yes young master." Butler said and went back to the kitchen, returning with two bowls of soup.

Kizy sat and started eating, but somehow she was reminded of Aaron and she paused. Markus felt that Kizy wasn't completely out of Aaron's thoughts.

"What? You are already done? Don't tell me that just meeting me was enough to fill your appetite? Did you miss me that much, my little lamb?" Markus said in an overly dramatic tone.

"Nah!! Just lost my appetite after sharing the same table and looking at you." Kizy retorted.

Markus was never this happy after being insulted that he felt today.

"Come on. This handsome face was made to make girls like you drool all over me." Markus said cockily.

"Narcissist." Kizy said and laughed loudly, her laughter filling the house, the house that was only suffering Markus's cold aura and wrath, was once again filled with warmth and affection.

"Don't tell me you want something more than just watching me from afar?" Markus whispered, giving her a meaningful glare.

"Pervert!!" Kizy exclaimed loudly and suddenly she found herself being stared at by all the servants and butler, Joel included.

Her face immediately turned a deep shade of red, embarrassed due to Markus. She looked down and silently started eating her food.

Butler was so happy, watching his master and young miss get back to normal while the house was lively. He cleared his throat before saying.

"Young master food is ready. Should I serve the dishes?" Butler asked.

"Yes." Markus said and thus the dinner went on with the usual bickering between the couple, behaving as if they weren't apart for even a single day and whatever happened in this period was a far off memory.

Deep down Kizy knew that Markus was trying hard to cheer her up and she was grateful for that. She was happy that Markus wasn't the usual type who would blame women for being forced. Instead he fought for her, and understood her.

After the dinner, Markus made Kizy sleep, stroking her hair and rubbing her back gently. 

"Stop treating me like a child. I can sleep on my own." Kizy said irritatedly.

"If not for you telling your real age, anyone would mistake you for a high schooler." Markus said with a chuckle, but kept stroking her hair.

Kizy simply pouted and didn't utter another word. 

Markus waited till the time Kizy was breathing evenly, and left only after confirming that she was in deep sleep.

*ONE HOUR LATER, C CITY*

"Where is he?" Markus asked Joel.

"Mr. Lee asked his men to keep him in a separate room. But they don't want to alert other prisoners, thus they will be sending him to the basement where nobody would know anything." Joel replied.

"No problem. Let's meet him then." Markus said and both of them walked through the long corridor, directing towards the basement.

Both of them walked for around two minutes before climbing down the stairs, only to see Aaron curved into fetal position, sitting in a corner.

"At least act like a man!!" Markus said as soon as he entered the basement.

Aaron just lifted his head, looking at Markus with his lifeless eyes. But he didn't utter even a single word.

"I might have forgiven you after looking at your condition right now, but not after what you did with Kizy. Your death was already decided the moment you laid your hands on her." Markus said in a cold voice.

And finally this earned a reaction from Aaron. He chuckled a little before laughing like a maniac.

"Laid my hands on her? Satan, open your eyes wide. We have slept together, waking up in each other's arms, eating from the same plate, sharing the same drinks, hugging and kissing each other." Aaron said with a menacing laughter.

"In your dreams." Markus said with a smirk.

He might have doubted if it was any other girl in Kizy's place, but Kizy… she was someone he had known since childhood. She was way too honest and upright. She wasn't the one who would bend rules. Instead she was way too strict with herself.

Thus he was sure that no matter what, Kizy would never do this. They hadn't even gone past kissing each other after being married and staying together for almost six months. Not to worry about this Aaron, who only made her disgusted.

"Do you trust her that much?" Aaron asked.

"Yes." Markus replied in a firm tone.

Aaron didn't utter another word after that, and went back to his original curved position. He knew that he had made a mistake the day he had offered her to join the base. But there was no turning back. He just knew that he loved Kizy the most, even more than his own life.

'I'll always, always be waiting for you.' Aaron thought to himself.

"Any last wish before you die?" Markus asked, loading his gun.

"Yeah." Aaron said, again lifting his head.

"F*#k Kizy senseless, till she screams my-" Aaron started speaking, wanting to infuriate Markus, when a dagger pierced his knee.

"Aahhhh!!" He screamed.

Suddenly Markus and Joel were on high alert, both of them loading their guns. They looked at the entrance, ready to fire any minute.

"Dare you speak her name through that shitty mouth of yours." A bone chilling voice spoke before the owner of this voice entered the basement.

Jason, clad in an entire black outfit entered slowly, instantly filling the room with his strong murderous aura.

"You.. you are that man… you rescued her that day right?" Aaron asked, forgetting his pain.

Markus and Joel relaxed, knowing Jason wasn't doing any harm to them. Though both Markus and Jason didn't had any good impression about each other, they at least had the same goal for today - Kill Aaron.

"So ready to die?" Jason asked, ignoring Markus.

"Huhhh!! Wow baby girl… I never knew you have the ability to make three men fall head over heel for that innocent face of yours!" Aaron said with a smirk.

And both Markus and Jason lost it. Markus walked in huge strides before punching him thrice in the face, opening hsi closed wound and making his nosebleed.

"Just kill him. Why so much trouble?" Jason said.

Markus loaded his gun and fired the bullet while Jason threw his dagger. Aaron had closed his eyes, waiting for both the bullet and dagger to pierce his body and kill him. 

If not for Kizy, he might have thought of fighting back and living to complete his revenge, but Kizy's betrayal was the final blow he could have received. He had fallen hard, too hard for her. Even when he knew that it was wrong, he couldn't help loving her, even after her betrayal.

He couldn't make it in himself to hate her. But he felt ashamed for falling for Markus's trap and not avenging his father. Thus he thought death would definitely be a better option than not being able to avenge his late father.

But the pain he had been waiting for didn't come. Instead it was the sound of several footsteps along with some other sounds. 

Aaron slowly opened his eyes, confused at what exactly was happening.

But suddenly he was surrounded by a group of men wearing all black outfits, similar to Jason's but a notch higher than his. They seemed to be covered in bulletproof vests.

Markus and Jason looked at each other, as if asking whether they knew the intruders, but after seeing the same questioning gaze in each other's eye, they understood that the men didn't belong to them.

Markus, Jason and Joel were on defensive mode, watching every action of these men on high alert, ready to fight any minute. The men were almost twelve in number.

But those men didn't utter a single word. They simply surrounded Aaron from all sides, two of them held Aaron from both sides.

"Who are you?" Aaron asked in a calm voice.
