You're Giovanni?!

He walked towards the exit where securities are blocking the way out.

"Sorry sir but we shouldn't let anyone leave this place till the searching is over" the security stated.

"Do you really think I'll steal that cheap jewelry?" Jarred questions arrogantly.

"We're only following the instructions sir" the other security stated

"Well, go ahead, search every pocket on my suit, just be careful it costs twice the price of that ornament" he instructed without blinking and I know damn well he's not joking.

The securities shared hesitant looks towards each other.

"We're sorry if we doubted you Mr. Giovanni, but would you mind if we search for her?"

"I don't mind at all," he affirmed. The smirk on his lips speaks of triumph.

I let them search all over and till they retreated his hand and nodded.

"Please get home safe" the security Adjourned politely.

Like that, we were out, with the jewelry.

"Told ya" I heard Jarred boast.

"What can I say? Your effortless bragging is flawless" I sneered

"I'm not, it's a defense mechanism" he shrugged

"You might need a psychiatrist"

"Actually she's right beside me"

"Ha! Yeah, and she's about to commit murder"

" That's too bad, my psychiatrist must be crazy" he grinned and finally we reached the parking lot.

We drove silently as my mind was out thinking about the jewel in his pocket.

"Hey, I did a great job, can I at least have a reward?" I suggest

"Tell me what you want sweetheart" He mused making me irritated

"A lunch meal" I hissed as I realized I didn't eat anything till lunch

There's a moment of silence

"Right" he only replied and I felt the car accelerate.

I shifted on my seat uncomfortably and sighed. My tummy's angry with me.

--

Almost 20 minutes had passed and he didn't seem to notice my aura changing into a hungry animalistic form as he kept on driving.

"That's the sixth restaurant we have passed by! I am fucking starving!" I exclaimed

"Shut your mouth, we'll eat together at home" he glowered

"No! That's my reward Jarred Giovanni!" I glowered

Giovanni?

Giovanni...

Giovanni!?

"You're Giovanni?!" I snapped

"So?"

Oh fuck. He's a remarkable and popular rich man who runs various airlines and is known for being the most powerful in narcotic businesses. No one beats him with his little dirty games and manipulative ways, he's smart and I could prove that.

So that's explained why he got that level of confidence with him.

"Never knew a crazy rich person like you would take interest in someone like me" I muttered

"I'm not interested in you, I'm more interested with your potential capabilities like all the rest I've hired and bargained and traded" he spoked darkly

"Whatever, just give away my reward" I rolled my eyes.

"You don't get any reward Khalil, you're being punished with your disobedience" he replied coldly.

My eyes turned dark and all I wanted to do was rip this asshole apart. Fucking hell I'm starving and wasting energy arguing with him only makes it worse for me.

I stayed silent Because my nerves were only two seconds away from exploding.

This glorified motherfucker, why am I even demanding? What would I expect with an arrogant asshole who only knows how to infuriate the hell out of me.

I gazed outside the window and give no shit about him anymore, fuck him.

---

Almost an hour had passed when the familiar path leading us to his house came to our view. I could feel the slightest relaxation of my muscles. Few more minutes and I'll be finally out in this suffocating car.

I stayed in silence and didn't give him any attention when he called my name a few times.

No one dares talk to me when I get rejected while I'm fucking hungry.

"Hey" he called lowly but with a hint of annoyance. Like hell, if he thinks I'm going to spare him a look.

"You're annoying," he groaned.

Silence...

Finally, we were here, he parked the car and I let out a satisfying sigh. I shifted in my seat ready to get off the car when he killed the engine.

I still didn't mind him and I held the door handle ready to open when I heard a click indicating it got locked.

I swear to god.

"What are you doing?" I muttered hissing

"Trying to get your attention"

"I'm listening" I muttered , never sparing him a look, I leaned on the seat and waited for his sentence.

"You don't get that attitude Khalil, I'm your boss and you follow everything I commanded" he hissed

"I know" I replied

"you knew, and that's how you talk to me?" he gritted,

I shifted on my seat and turned to look at him dead in the eyes.

"Sorry" I muttered remorselessly. I noticed his jaw clenching

"Let's eat together inside" he stated before unlocking the doors and stepping outside.

I followed behind him,

"Prefer us our lunch" he ordered with the servants. I scoffed silently. How brave of him to think I'm still gonna have an interest in food. My appetite was long gone the moment he rejected my demand and ignored it for hours. Screw him.

He sat on his usual seat and so I did with the least interest in the food served in front of us.

"You don't like it? I thought you were hungry" He commented

"I like the food" I stated without any expression and started to place my plate with a bit of food.

I devour the food forcefully till nothing is left on my plate as I drink the water to swallow down the food. I looked in his direction and he pointedly looked at me.

"The food tastes good, why aren't you eating yours?" I asked faking my enthusiasm

"I'm not hungry" he replied

"Oh, okay" I nodded before standing in my seat

"If you don't mind, I'd like to go rest i-"

"Go to my room" he cut me off.

"What?"

"You heard me"

"What am I supposed to do in your room?"

"Go rest in my room" he stated with warning

"But I have my own r- okay" I immediately nodded when I saw his hand balled into a tight fist.

I turned around and headed to my room to get some of my sweets in my jar before heading to his room.

I managed to steal chocolates from the fridge in the kitchen whenever no one was around and store it in my jar to have snacks to eat whenever I wanted or when I'm starved.

The familiar scent enveloped me as I let myself into his darkroom. I face-palm when I realized I needed to change clothes and remove these cosmetics on my face.

I drop the chocolates on the bed and quickly return to my room for a quick shower.

The warm shower calmed my nerves and the sweet scented soap just kept overwhelming my sanity.

After the shower I changed my clothes into pajamas and my favorite oversized printed shirt, not bothering to wear any annoying undershirt.

I ran back to his room only to find the devil lying comfortably on his bed and devouring my -

"I'm always wondering where my favorite diet snacks go every morning. I'll have to take it in the fridge and bring it with me when I go out" he stated accusingly.

"That's not your snack anymore" I gritted.

"Mmm. So you stole it, my food" his eyes turning into teasing tiny slits.

I didn't answer and got on his bed taking every snack in my arms and walking to his sofa.

I started unwrapping one of the chocolates and savored it with utter relief. I concentrated on eating and I noticed Jarred went to his bathroom but before he went in, he turned on the TV.

"Thank goodness" I whispered.

A movie is currently playing on the TV and the characters have powers, more like a fantasy.

I easily got caught up with the movie till I heard a ringtone on my cell phone. I searched where the cellphone was and I found it on the desk together with the car keys.

The caller is just a number which means its unknown, who might th-

Oh my, could it be Gaby? My mood automatically lights up. I answered the phone immediately

"Hello?"

"Uh- is this Kha-"

"Yes! It's me! It's me, Gaby! Oh my god, you called!" I beamed

"Yeah, it seems like you're a good person, but sorry I'd be honest to you, I don't remember you, so I wanted to know you again if that's okay to you?" He blubbered, I can almost feel how tense he is.

"That's fine for me, I don't mind at all" I responded full of bliss

"Uh- thank you, I noticed you left the venue earlier" he added

"Oh, yeah, I and my boyfriend went first for searching to the securities because he has important matters to attend" I explained

"Oh okay, the police said that the culprit must have escaped the venue since no one has the jewel according to the result of the search operation, the authorities found out that all CCTV were hacked as well by a source they can't track-....."

I didn't catch what he was saying as a hand snaked on my waist and a chin rested on my shoulder opposite to where the phone is placed.

"whose you talking with" he whispered in my ear and his warm breath and the scent of toothpaste brushed my jaw.

"Khalil? Are you still there?"

"H-hey yeah, right! that too bad, the felon mus-"

Jarred bite on my neck made me shriek.

"Khalil? Are you okay?" Gab asked concerned

"Yeah! I'm fine, some bug just bit on my skin" I hissed and Jarred's lips retreated abruptly

"Oh, go and clean it up and put some ointment before it gets swollen" he advised softly.

"I'm a bug?" Jarred again whispered in my ears

"Yeah you're right, I should go clean it up, I'll call you back okay?"

"Okay, bye"

I ended the call and swiftly turned around to face him but he carried me to the desk.

"W-what are you doing?!" I hurriedly asked. Is he being turned on again? This fucker needs some help, seriously.

He didn't answer and just snuggle to my neck

"You smells so sweet" he whispered

"I know"

"I wanted to taste you" he mumbled as he licked my throat.

"Well, I might taste like diabetes"

"I don't mind"

"Jarred, get off, I'm not into this game" I tried to push him away.

"Stay still, I'll be quick"

"No! fuck off Jarred" I exclaimed, this horny bitch!

He stopped Midway and looked straight into my eyes dead serious.

"I said stay still" he gritted warningly.

And that's a cue for me to be obedient.
