EPISODE 17
Kizy finally sighed before rolling her sleeves back and carried the parcel box to the elevator with a lot of efforts.
She immediately placed the box on ground before taking deep breaths.
“God if I die today while carrying this box, make sure Markus suffers for rest of his life.” Kizy cursed after a few moments.
‘Ding’
The elevator reached on 40th floor where Markus’s office was located. Kizy once again breathed deeply before using all her power to lift the box.
She staggered towards his office. Just as she managed to successfully open the door by a kick, she lost her balance and fell down along with the box.
Markus who was busy listening to Joel’s report was already furious at someone kick-opening his door.. And now his ‘beloved’ wife along with his ‘precious’ parcel were lying on the floor.
“You stupid woman what are you doing?”
Kizy ignored his words as she was feeling a sharp pain from her ankle. She tried standing up with support of the parcel box but the next second she fell down with a shriek.
“Aaaahhhhhh”
“Why are you shouting?” Markus asked as he and Joel came to stand beside her.
“Boss I think Miss Kizy sprained her ankle.” Joel said. He had observed her throughout the day.
First of all she had to run around the entire building wearing those high heels, and now she had fallen down while carrying a heavy box. Thus it wasn’t hard for Joel to see that she shreiked because of her pain in foot.
“What??” This time it was Markus who shrieked.
He instantly bent down and carried Kizy towards the sofa.
“You… you don’t have to do this.. I.. I can walk-” Kizy was quickly interupted by Markus.
“Stop it you idiot. Don’t utter even a single word.” And with that Markus removed her heels. But…
That single sight was enough to make him extremely enraged.
“Why are your feet in such bad condition? They had so MANY cuts, blisters and are also swelled. What on earth were you doing all this time??? Do you want to die?” Markus shouted at her.
“How can you shout at me? All these have been caused by you!!” Kizy shouted trying to match his volume.
“Caused by me? Huhhhh… forget it. Joel bring me some ice first.” Markus said while turning towards Joel.
Joel immediately left the room. But somehow he was surprised. His boss never showed much emotion on his face as if he was suffering from facial paralysis. But since he married Kizy, he expressed a wide range of emotions and the one seen just now was even more intense.
But his ladyboss didn’t feel that. In fact other ladies will be dying to carry his boss’s shoes. But right now Markus had removed her heels and was massaging her foot. Even then the ladyboss was shouting at him.
Joel seriously wanted to tell all this to Kizy but he knew that Markus won’t like that at all. Thus he simply returned with the ice.
“Go buy a few flat and comfortable slippers for her. Also purchase a good ointment for blisters and cuts from pharmacy before you return.” Markus said without even glancing at Kizy.
“You don’t have to-” and Kizy was once again interupted.
“Miss Kizy please don’t argue with boss over this.” Joel said politely before disappearing from the room.
“So how was all of this caused by me?” Markus asked while massaging ice over the swelling.
“Forget it. These are some minor injuries. They will heal in a day or two.” Kizy said.
She wasn’t one of those who liked to make a fuss out of small things. All these years there was no one by her side who would care about her. She only had her mom, and she didn’t wanted to make her worry over her minor issues. Thus it was her habit to hide such things.
Fortunately Markus didn’t pursue the matter further.
“You just rest for few more minutes. I will be done with my work. Then we can go back home.” Markus said to Kizy after the ice had completely melted.
He then picked up the parcel box and went back to his desk.
Kizy who was drained after an entire day of non stop work was more than happy to comply. She simply closed her eyes and rested.
After a few minutes Joel knocked the door and entered.
“Boss-”
“Shhh” Markus said while gesturing him to keep quiet.
Joel understood and placed all the things on his desk before leaving the room.
Markus finished his work and went to wake Kizy up.
“This is the ointment. Apply it and wear these slippers.” He said while passing the bag that Joel had brought.
“Thank you.” Kizy sincerely said before following what he said.
But suddenly Markus bent and picked her up in princess style.
“You.. you put me down… i know.. how to walk.” Kizy said while trying to struggle in his embrace.
“Wifey do you feel shy. Don’t worry, nobody enters this floor and no one steps in this elevator as well. So you can do whatever you want.” Markus said with a dramatic expression.
“Hey you.. I don’t want to do anything with you.” Kizy said while pointing a finger at him.
“Ok why are you shouting honey. It is said that people shout only when they are guilty. So were you thinking about doing something intimate but felt guilty after i spoke your inner wish?” Markus continued teasing.
“You are the one who feels guilty.” Kizy said before pouting and turning her head to the other side.
Markus left the elevator with Kizy in his arms.
“Oh I remember I wanted to remind you something.” Kizy said out of blue.
“What is it?” Markus asked while placing Kizy in the back seat.
“We forgot about the gifts. Grandma’s birthday banquet is this sunday and tomorrow is wednesday. You have important meetings on both thursday and saturday, hence both of us will be busy. So should we go for shopping tomorrow?” Kizy asked.
Her accident last time had made her forget about the entire celebration thing. Markups parcel made her remember that she hadn’t purchased any gift yet.
“Ok tomorrow will do.” Markus said after some thought.
Next day Kizy wore a relatively simpler dress and went with Markus to All Star Mall. The mall looked less crowdy and this made Kizy relieved.. But what she didn’t knew was, this mall was even more luxurious and expensive than the mall they visited before. And most importantly it was owned by Markus.
“This mall has lesser crowd. Hope the prices would be lesser as well.” Kizy spoke to herself while passing by a clothes store.
Suddenly she stopped in her tracks and entered the shop.
“Miss how can i help you?” the staff member asked.
“I wanted to know the price of this dress.” Kizy said while pointing to a dress that was placed on mannequin for display.
“Mam you surely have a great taste. This is the latest dress from Purple. This will cost you $200,000-”
“Cough, cough” The staff looked at the man who had coughed, standing beside Kizy and he immediately stopped midtrack.
“Miss this will cost you $20,000‐” the staff changed his statement but Markus still gave him an unapproving look.
“$2,000 but since our brand is celebrating its 25th anniversary, you will recieve a fifty percent discount. Which means you will only pay $1,000.” the staff said while internally crying.
Being a succesfull high end luxury clothing brand for more than two decades, the staff had never seen any dress from Purple below $50,000. But now he was made to sell this dress at such a cheaper price and that too by his boss.
“Ohh that’s great!” Kizy said.
She was totally oblivious to the secret gestures Markus made behind her back. She was immersed in the beautiful lavender dress which was flowing from its waist till the ground. It had sleeves reaching to elbow level and consisted of a silver belt near waist. The dress was decorated by few silver diamonds, which made it look even more stylish yet low-key at the same time.
Finally Kizy took her eyes off the dress and turned back towards Markus.
“Will this dress fit your mom? I have never seen her and i don’t know her size.” she said.
Markus was a little surprised, though it wasn’t shown on his face. He never knew that this woman was thinking of buying this dress for his mom and not for herself. He caused for a moment before nodding his head.
“Please pack this dress. I will buy it.” Kizy said to the staff.
The staff didn’t tarry for another minute and quickly packed the dress. Kizy signalled Markus to give the money which he somehow did without any complaints or tricks.
May be Markus was a little happy knowing that Kizy was seriously buying gifts for his family which he would have rarely done. In all these years, he would just attend those family dinners and banquet, considering his presence itself was a gift.
But today Kizy had unknowingly changed his thinking.

EPISODE 18
May be Markus was a little happy knowing that Kizy was seriously buying gifts for his family which he would have rarely done. In all these years, he would just attend those family dinners and banquet, considering his presence itself was a gift.
But today Kizy had unknowingly changed his thinking.
Similarlly Kizy bought a set of calligraphy brush and inkstone for grandpa whereas set of pearl earring and jade longevity pendant for grandma. And similarlly the staff at both the places sold it for a very cheap price knowing that it was there Boss accompanying this lady.
“Woah finally we are done with the gifts. Let’s head home quickly, i am dying of hunger!” Kizy complained while holding her stomach.
But something caught her attention and that was the Blue Dream Bakery.
“Markus can i order the birthday cake for this banquet?” she suddenly asked Markus.
“Usually grandpa asked me for this everytime, but since its a huge banquet, grandpa will ask his men to do it this time. But why do you ask?” Markus asked.
“Look thats the best bakery in our country B. It has branches in all major cities. I got to taste its pastry only once but that was the best. So i just wished we could order a cake from this bakery for grandma’s birthday.” Kizy said while pointing towards the bakery.
“Ok wait.” Markus made a quick phone call to his grandpa and after knowing that the cake was not booked, he allowed Kizy to do so.
“Excuse me, can we order for a customized made cake?” Kizy asked the worker in bakery.
“Yes mam, look at this menu. This are the flavours that you can choose from. And this album consists some of our previous custom made cakes, you can have a look for your reference.” the worker said.
Kizy quickly through the entire menu and album before picking a tissue paper. Markus was a little amused while standing behind her, trying to guess what this little lamb was scribling.
Finally Kizy kept her pen aside and took out her mobile phone. She clicked a picture of the tissue paper she had been scribling on.
“What exactly are you doing Wifey?” Markus asked after watching her click the photo.
“Oh look at this. Although my drawing isn’t that good, i tried drawing the cake that i imagined. Tell me is it good?” Kizy asked Markus doubtfully.
Kizy gave the tissue paper to worker and passed her phone to Markus.
Markus took an entire minute to study the photo and after observing it carefully, he turned towards Kizy before asking.
“Are you sure that your drawing isn’t ‘that good’? Look at this properly. Is this how it should look?” Markus asked.
“What do you mean by that?” Kizy asked in a little flustered tone.
“This is the worst drawing i have ever seen in my entire life. Even a kid from kindergarden could do better.” Markus ruthlessly mocked her.
“You are even worse than this drawing. Give me my phone back.” Kizy said a little flustered.
Though she was good at almost all the things, there were few exceptions. Drawing being the top one amongst those exceptions.
“I am worried whether they will bake an exact same cake. If yes then its better to cancel now than embarass ourselves in front of all guests.” Markus continued his teasing. .
“You just wait. Once they actually present the cake,then we will see.” With that Kizy jumped to snatch her phone back, which Markus was holding high up in the air.
“Urghhh.. give me… my phone…” Kizy spoke in between her jumps, trying hard to get her phone.
Though Kizy was tall enough, when standing in front of this devil, she still looked much shorter than usual. And….
“Aarrgghhhh!!!” Kizy suddenly shouted as she experienced a sharp pain from her sprained ankle.
Fortunately the extraordinarily tall Markus was facing her, which helped her in not falling down on the ground again, especially in a public place like this.
But she ended up bumping her face on his wide chest. Markus immediately encircled her in his arms.
“Love, if you wanted a hug, you should have told me. Why to sneak attack for it like this?” Markus said a little loudly.
Kizy was all red and forgot her pain. She pushed him away while balancing herself.
“Who wants your hug. Hmmpphh!!” With that she turned around towards the worker of bakery.
“This is my contact number. I will text you the address for delivery afterwards. Send me the photo of cake once it done. Also if you have some doubts for the design of cake, you can call me for the same.” Kizy said before limping away towards the car.
Markus shook his head at backview of limping Kizy before signalling Joel to pay and went back home.
Next days were relatively busier for Markus thus he had no time to tease Kizy.
Finally the banquet day arrived!
“We should leave earlier so that we can welcome the guests. How about 4pm? Grandpa said that the banquet will begin at 7 and guests would start arriving by 5.” Kizy said eating her breakfast.
“I will leave earlier not you. For now, lets not give any hint to public for suspecting that you are anything more than a chidhood friend and my current secretary.” Markus replied.
“Yeah. Your fans are total crackheads, let’s not do this.” Kizy paused.
“But that would look rude. And i haven’t met grandma and your mom yet. Won’t they have a negative impression of me?” Kizy asked.
“Ohh. So can I say that my family opinion matters to you? That means I matter to you as well?” Markus said with a cocky expression.
“It has nothing to do with you. Anyways now that i am already married to you, I should accept them as my family and wish they will do the same.” Kizy said.
“Look let me tell you one thing. Even if you do not attend the banquet today, my family will still accept you with warm hearts.” Markus said with a genuine smile.
Kizy was a bit mesmerized by his smile as it wasn’t often when Markus smiled at her, that too a genuine smile. Usually it would be devilish smirk or grin or sometimes an arrogant expression as well. But not a smile
“I look handsome right?” Markus once again reverted back to his cocky face.
“Any random man on this earth will look better than you.” Kizy argued a little flustered as she was caught red handed.
“Fine I will leave early. Also later on my people will help you out with the outfit and whatever make up and hairstyle you women do. Just co-operate with them.” Markus said before standing up.
“I don’t need all that. I already chose a dress from the closet you have prepared. About the makeup and hairstyle, i prefer it simple. So i don’t think I will be needing it.” Kizy said.
“Those dresses in your closet are for daily use. Also about your preference for simple look, i bet you will regret it once you enter the banquet. And most importantly, though others don’t know about our relationship, I don’t want anyone else to outshine you wifey.” Markus said with his devilish grin.
“Okay.” Kizy replied after some thought.
“Be ready by 6 pm. I have already arranged your driver. I want you to arrive when almost all the guests are already present but there is still some time left for banquet to start.” Markus said.
“Whatever you feel right.” Kizy said.
Markus left after finishing breakfast while Kizy organized some of the documents which would be required in the coming days for business.
Since she had nothing much to do, she decided to give a call to the bakery, asking about the cake.
“Hello this is Kizy, i made an order for customized made three tier chocolate and vanilla cake. I wanted to know if the cake is ready?” Kizy asked.
“Yes Miss Kizy its almost done. I will send you the photo in half an hour. Also please send us the address for delivery.” The person replied.
“Okay i will send it after recieving the photo.” Kizy said before hanging up.
At 4pm sharp, a maid knocked on the bedroom door notifying Kizy about arrival of people responisble for her look today.
“Hello Miss Kizy. Though i have already thought of a dress for you but do you have any preferences about it? May be a color or some style that you think you want to try.” A woman who was around age of mid thirties asked.
“No I have no such preferences. You can continue with your planned dress. I believe in your choice.” Kizy said sincerely.
Afterall these people were arranged by Markus. Though he usually never supported her, but he never crossed his line, especially in public events like this one.
“Thank you for your praise Miss Kizy. I will try my best.” The woman replied.
“Then about your make up and hairstyle, should i go with the plan as well or do you have some other choice in your mind?” A man standing beside the woman asked.
“Yes you can surely do that. I will leave that to you.” Kizy said with a smile.
“Thank you Miss Kizy. Then lets begin with your hairs first as we need to set them, then with the makeup and we will help you with the dress and accessories.” The man said.
“But won’t my makeup spoil if i do that before wearing a dress?” Kizy asked with confusion.
The pair of woman and man immediately laughed at Kizy’s cute question.
“Did I ask something wrong?” Kizy asked a bit embarassedly.
