Forced To Marry The Devil : A Crazy Love Saga

Markus nodded in response before following grandpa to one of the rooms located on the first floor.

"What is it grandpa?" Markus asked in a serious tone, knowing that Grandpa definitely had some serious issue to talk about

"What happened in the Imperial Nation?" Grandpa asked only one statement, straight to the point.

"Grandpa, I will tell you all the details, but not now. In fact that is the reason I have asked everyone to wrap up the party fast. I will be discussing all the details about my mission tonight cause we can not delay anymore." Markus said, his tone grave.

"Okay." Grandpa said, nodding.

He knew that if Markus had already thought about something, then he need not to worry.

"If there is nothing else, I will leave now. I need to renovate our home." Markus said.

"Yes. Actually, no. I have one more question." Grandpa said, unable to stop himself from asking.

"What grandpa?" Markus asked politely.

"When do you plan to hold your wedding with Kizy? You owe her a grand wedding, Markus. We Evans have wronged her a lot. Thus I feel that she has every right to deserve the wedding of the century. Plus she is pregnant with your baby as well. So when do you plan to do this?" Grandpa asked.

Usually he wasn't the one to interfere in such things like weddings and other celebrations, but when it came to Kizy, he knew that they had taken her for granted too much. In fact she was carrying a child for Markus in her womb, yet she wasn't expecting any sort of celebration from them, not to mention a grand wedding. Thus grandpa felt that it would only be right to give her what she deserved.

"Grandpa, I don't want to let her live this way as well. But I have my own plans. I don't want her to undergo our wedding rituals while worrying about some crazy professor, or fearing some other enemy of ours who wants to see us dead. I want to see her as the most beautiful bride, who will enjoy her own wedding to the fullest. So no matter how much time passes by, I will not settle for anything less. I only know one thing, and that is I want to give her the best." Markus said, expressing his honest feelings from the bottom of his heart.

"If you have already planned everything, then I won't interfere. But don't make us wait for long." Grandpa said before both the men left the room and joined others for the preparation.

*12 PM, MARKUS's HOUSE*

All the family members and friends were seen seated in the hall, with Kizy and Markus sitting in the centre.

They had decided to first present their gifts to Kizy and Markus, then play some light games and chat before ending the celebration with lunch.

Grandpa and grandma being the eldest, were the first to start with the gift ceremony.

Grandpa gave an envelope to Kizy, which she confusedly opened and read, only to open her mouth wide in surprise.

It was the letter stating that both Kizy and Markus now owned 50-50 percent of the company, making both of them president of 'Stardust'.

"Grandpa, this isn't needed. I don't want the company. I just handled it for sometime because Markus wanted it. Don't-" Kizy was still speaking when Markus interrupted.

"Thank you for the gift grandpa. I can not be any happier. At least I will get to have some rest now." Markus said.

"Punk. You both will be working equally. Don't you dare slack off. And Kizy, I had decided to do this the moment I had seen your performance. I am not someone who believes in passing the throne to your heir, but passing the throne to the deserving one. All this time Markus has worked hard to bring the company to this heights, and your work only added more glory to it. I can not find anyone more suitable for the role than both of you." Grandpa said before shifting a little to let grandma give the gift.

"Here." Grandma said before giving two boxes to both Kizy and Markus.

They both opened it to find a lockets with a beautiful eye symbol pendant attached to it.

The couple looked at grandma expectedly, knowing she wouldn't give a meaningless gift.

"I know you youngsters don't believe in prayers, good and evil anymore. But this is for my satisfaction. I got a renowned priest to bless you both with power and out of reach from evil. He gave this to me. And though I know this may sound silly to you both, I would truly want you both to always wear it." Grandma said, knowing the kind of danger both her grandson and granddaughter in law had to face.

Kizy and Markus just looked at each other before instantly wearing the lockets, not wanting to hurt grandma's sentiment cause they knew that she only had the best of thoughts for them.

With that both grandpa and grandma went back to their seats while Mary came ahead.

She had bought endless dresses for Kizy to wear during pregnancy. The dresses looked stylish yet comfortable, perfect to wear even when she would be carrying a huge baby bump.

But what surprised Kizy was that, along with her clothes, Mary had also bought many children's clothes for both boys and girls.

Of course an apple doesn't fall far from the tree. She could now understand where did Markus's overly preparative behaviour came from.

"Thank you mother." Kizy said with a smile while Markus amusedly started unboxing all the clothes for children, a foolish smile pasted on his face.

But what everyone didn't fail to notice was that Markus after opening all the clothes, just threw the ones for boys carelessly, while the ones for girls were neatly folded back and even repacked in their respective boxes.

"Why do I see discrimination over here?" Kizy asked while raising one eyebrow.
