His Greatest Possession

Episode Eight

"After graduating from college, I flew to Italy. My parents helped me to start my own business there. And now I have four branches of my own restaurants around Italy," Jarred explained. They had been talking since earlier, and she was happy for him. He succeeded in his goal, which was to start his own business.

" I'm proud of you. I guess I can pass by one day and you can give me a discount" she smiled as she teased him. He patted her head, which was his favorite thing to do for her.

" What about you? You were good at designing dishes before. You always got higher grades." he said as he remembered their college days.

"Well. I have my own small coffee shop. I started it two years ago. I know you're gonna ask why I chose it instead of cooking. I just love my work now, what I have gone through." she smiled, which showed her perfect set of teeth.

"And what about boyfriends? Have you ever got one?" He teased while touching the tips of her nose. Ezye has never had one before. He knows it.

" The thing is --'' her heart started to beat in the race when she saw Ginrre's car was parked near the small shop they were in. Sweat starts to creep out on her forehead upon seeing him, entered inside with his furious expression.

" Are you alright? You look pale. Is something bothering you?" Jarred worriedly asked as he noticed her stuck for a moment. He was going to touch her forehead when another hand grabbed her out of his sight. His brows furrowed when he saw Ginrre standing next to Ezye.

" I don't like it when someone touches what's mine." with his raging eyes, he looked at him coldly.

"Who are you?" Jarred questioned while glancing at her. He did not like how he grabbed Ezye in front of him.

"This is Ginrre," Ezye nervously answered, trying to ease the tension.

"It was nice meeting you again, Jarred. We have to go now," she uttered again, and started to walk away with Gin holding her hand. He was left dumbfounded and confused. He could sense something was off. He was going to follow them when his phone rang displaying his sister's name on the screen. He glanced at them while entering the car as he answered the phone.

She was scared and at the same time annoyed. He had never uttered a word since they left the shop, he just drove at a fast speed with his face being frigid.

"You turned your phone off and had a date with another man while you ignored my calls. Don't blame me if I destroy him for what you've done." he started clearly and stopped the car near the oceanside. Her anger rose after hearing him.

"What is your problem?! Why do you keep acting like you own me? You don't have the right to engage in what I have been doing. This is my life!." she exploded while facing him with her face turning red. She can't believe he keeps controlling her in everything she does.

" What? You wanted him? Damn it! Ezye! I already told you before to stay away from anyone if you don't want anything bad to happen to them! You are only mine! Mine!" The car's loud horn filled inside the car after he punched the steering wheel out of anger. Her grip tightened, and her knees were trembling in shock. She never expected this side of him.

" You are crazy, Gin. Let me out of the car. I wanna go home! " she exclaimed while she tried to open the handle of the car. She couldn't bear his possessiveness, she was getting scared of him already. Tears were dripping slowly into her face while she kept trying to go out.

" f**k this! " Ginrre murmured when he saw her crying silently. His hair was ruined, as he kept running furiously with his hand on his head. Ezye tried to get rid of his hand as he wiped her tears.

"Look. I'm sorry. I was mad. I didn't mean to hurt you. Forgive me. Shh. Don't cry." he hugged her and patted her back. He scolded himself for being hot-tempered, he was so furious that he forgot to act correctly. He wanted her to be his woman only . He would never allow anyone to take her away from him.

Gin opened the window and looked out to the sea, while he continued tapping her back. He breathed deeply and relaxed himself, the overload of work and meetings put it all together in him, which made him unable to think carefully. Especially when he saw her earlier talking with another man laughing. He wanted her to be happy with him, not with another man. He hated it when he saw her scared and mad just by looking at him.

He noticed her breathing started to get heavy. Glancing at her face, she falls asleep after crying. The redness of her nose was clear from sniffing earlier. He stayed still while she slept in his arms, hugging her as he wiped her remaining tears and sweat from her face. He planted small kisses on her forehead and tied her hair. His mood started to feel better while looking at her angelic face sleeping.

" I hope you forgive me for hurting you. But no one can take you away from me. You are mine."he said, and took Ezye's phone.

He saw a lot of messages from Jarred Miller on it. There were also 23 missed calls from him. His teeth greeted upon seeing their pictures together in her gallery.They had taken pictures earlier while they bought stuff for Jarred's nephew. His vision started to get dark when both of them were holding hands like they were a couple, showing their broad smiles in the picture.

"Zy? Are you alright? Did he hurt you? I can see you looked scared earlier. Tell me if he was hurting you."

"Are you back now? My nephew wants to meet you."

" Hey Zy? Are you good? I'm worried about you. "

He was busy deleting all of the pictures and messages when his secretary messaged him on his phone.

"Boss, the meeting will start in 3 minutes. I have already settled all the matters. Where are you now?"

It was 2:32 in the afternoon, he looked at her again and typed a message. He had never typed a reply before, but he didn't want her to be awake talking on the phone.

'Cancel the meeting, I have important things to do.' he replied and searched for his cousin's contact number.

' Dig deeper information about Jarred Miller.' He attached a copy of pictures of Jarred from Ezye's phone and sent it.

" Since when did you learn how to text message? I demand a double amount of money for this mission. Can't believe I have become a private investigator now." Red's reply afterwards.

' Just do what I say.' he replied back and put the phone in front of the car.

On the other hand, Mr. Edgeman was confused by the sudden changes. His boss had never canceled a meeting before, although he did not have any idea what was going on, he headed to the conference room where all of the company's officers were waiting. He informed them that the meeting had been canceled.

Gin rested his head and closed his eyes. He intended to stay for a bit until Ezye woke up. He falls asleep with a plan on his mind, about how to destroy Jarred Miller.
