Chapter 234 234. Hidden Something From The Citizens
"And I have been grateful for the moments that I got to spend along with Kizy, cause she changed me into a different person, without even me knowing about it.
She taught me that relationships are not business deals, we need to pour out our emotions for them to work. She taught me that even employees are humans and I should care for them. She taught me that family should always be my first priority. She has taught me a lot of things and the list will continue getting longer after this.
But the most important thing that she has taught me is Love. It\'s because of her that I know what loving a person is like, how it feels to care about someone even in minor issues, or how love has no boundaries." Markus said, while Kizy felt warm inside her heart, a weird sensation coursing through her veins.
"But.. there is one thing that I have hidden from you all." Markus said and immediately the crowd was confusedly looking at Markus.
They were all ears to know what had their male god hidden from them. And especially what had that thing got to do with all his talk about Kizy and their love.
"Kizy, is not only my friend, she is not my fiance as well but my legal-" Markus was still speaking when suddenly Kizy was alerted, putting her hand over his, instantly trying to stop him from speaking any further.
She now knew what Markus meant by the surprise. He had been intending to disclose their marriage on the occasion of their anniversary, but Kizy wasn\'t happy about it.
She knew the kind of risks they would be inviting after this announcement. Neither did she, nor Markus had less enemies. Plus both of them were out here while their enemies were in the dark, paying attention to every single move made by them.
Hence she didn\'t want any more misfortune just to publicise their relationship. She had no complaints even if she had to stay as his fiance in public for a few more years.
Plus the thing she feared the most was professor. She couldn\'t even imagine about how carzy the professor could go if they were to reveal their relationship.
"Trust me." Markus said in a low voice which was audible to only Kizy.

And somehow his voice, his soothening touch calmed Kizy down, making her nod her head.
But by this time, the audience had gone insane about his half incomplete statement saying that \'Kizy wasn\'t his fiance\'.
"So Kizy ain\'t my fiancee. She is my legal Wife." Markus said, without waiting for the crowd to calm down.
But the moment he finished his sentence, another round of outburst was seen from the audience, not expecting such a twist in the story.
"What is Markus saying?"
"Is he calling her wifey in a lovey dovey way?"
"I guess my ears stopped working!"
"Wow!! Finally some good news!!"
"That means my goddess is already married!"
"I always felt they were more than fiance."
"Are we shooting some drama?"
"I can\'t believe my eyes!!"
"And I can\'t believe my ears!"
People were already shocked by one direct statement by Markus.
"Will you all please listen to the entire thing once?" Markus said which was followed by pin drop silence.
"So we have been married for a year already. Today, on the occasion of our first marriage anniversary, we thought that it was better to share our happy moments with you all.
We initially didn\'t want to hide all this from you. But my profession, running such a huge business comes with no less risk. I didn\'t want unwanted trouble for Kizy. Thus I kept this news a secret till I became strong enough to protect her whatsoever.
So here we are, finally revealing our secret marriage!" Markus said.
Kizy who was sitting on the side nodded at him, before taking the mic.
"Also, you all are no less than a family to us. So hope you all will have a bigger heart to forgive us. And thank you for joining us on our special day today. We are glad to have such a family supporting us all the time." Kizy said, making the crowd feel much closer to the couple and not just some idol power couple.
The crowd started clapping instantly. Markus and Kizy then answered a few questions asked by the reporters, making everyone leave with a lot of thoughts, enough to discuss for the entire week. Especially the reporters who were dying to return back to their offices after making Markus and Kizy pose in their couple outfits to print several columns in their newspapers and websites.
*UNKNOWN PALACE, IMPERIAL NATION*
A man was seen running through the red corridors, completely out of his breath.
He entered the main hall before instantly kneeling down, careful enough to not make even a slight noise of his rapid breath.
A man was seen sitting leisurely on a throne present in the centre, admiring a bright red colour in a beautiful crystal glass, swirling it in between while light vapours were seen coming out of the glass.
"Speak." He said in a low voice, while paying no attention to the man kneeling in front of him.
"Professor… Madam.. Madam Hazel is.." The man said, stuttering while speaking.
"Just speak whatever it is. You don\'t have to be afraid of me." The professor said in a very calm voice, but it only heightened the sense of danger within the man.
"Madam Hazel is… marr… married." The man replied, not daring to even raise his head.
"Huhhh." The Professor said, finally paying attention to the man while a smile could be seen gradually appearing on his face.
"Interesting. Hazel is getting braver day by day. But I love her boldness!" The professor said before slowly walking towards the kneeling man, making his heart beat irregularly, cold sweat covering his forehead.
"Thank you for bringing the great news!" Professor said, making the man look up to him in disbelief, but the next moment a loud shriek was heard.
