Chapter 11: Heart, You Need To Stop Bleeding For The Wrong Man

Chapter 11: Heart, You Need To Stop Bleeding For The Wrong Man Briella’s POV-- By five in the afternoon, I received a text from Braun and immediately started preparing to leave, much to Chelsey’s surprise. “You’re leaving already?” she asked, raising an eyebrow. “Yes, I need to take care of something at my new place,” I replied, slipping on my jacket. “You’re moving? Why?” she asked, her tone laced with concern. “There are just too many memories in that house, ones I need to forget,” I said honestly. “Once I move out tonight, you can move in tomorrow. I’ve paid the rent for a full year, and it would be a waste if it just sat empty.” “Where are you staying now?” she asked again, worried.

Chapter 12: I’ll Wipe That Ugly Smile Off Your Face Briella’s POV-- The next morning, I prepared myself for what was supposed to be the biggest farce of the week, the public apology. Xander had sent me a full email script outlining every word I was expected to say in front of the press. Of course, I didn’t even bother opening it. I had no intention of following his orders. I wasn’t his puppet anymore. Besides, I had already spoken to the stockholders connected to my friend. They promised to back me up. I wasn’t alone in this. “Good morning,” President Braun greeted as he stepped out of the bathroom, clad in nothing but a towel hanging dangerously low on his hips. Sweet heavens! My eyes immediately drank in sight before me, his c

Chapter 13: Those Times Are Over

Chapter 13: Those Times Are Over Briella’s POV-- “Stop this nonsense at once, Briella! What you’re doing isn’t right anymore!” Xander shouted at me, his voice sharp with anger. I stood up and faced him proudly. “You’re right. I do need to stop this nonsense and make the right decision for once. I’ve got to go. The reporters are waiting for me outside.” I glanced at Mr. Cayab, who was still reeling from everything I had just revealed. “If you think you can defeat me, Briella, you’re mistaken! I won’t lose to a loser like you!” Matilda spat, her voice dripping with fury. I stared at her without flinching, locking eyes with the woman who once thought she could break me. I’m not backing down. Just

Chapter 14: Stop Hurting Our Baby

Chapter 14: Stop Hurting Our Baby Braun’s POV -- I was looking deeply into reviewing the new contracts when my assistant entered my office. “Mr. President, Madam Briella’s press conference has started,” he informed me. I looked up from the documents, my mind shifting immediately. “Turn on the TV,” I said without hesitation. I needed to see how my wife would handle the press and face the vultures disguised as reporters. We both knew how brutal the media could be in this industry. One wrong word, one misstep, and they’d tear you apart. If you couldn’t stand your ground, you wouldn’t survive. “Did you send a lawyer to X-Trends?” I asked Luigi, my tone serious, my eyes glued to the screen.

Chapter 15: Coax and Manipulate Her Back into Submission Briella’s POV -- “Tell me, what the hell is this about?” Xander asked sharply, his brows furrowed as he looked at the three of us. Cecile rolled her eyes. “Couldn’t you have at least let us sit down first, Xander?” I bit back a smirk at her sarcasm and took the opportunity to sit down without waiting for permission. Let him stew. “Have a seat,” Xander muttered, settling onto the long sofa adjacent to mine. Mr. Puerto and Cecile followed, sitting across from us, facing him directly. “Perhaps now,” he added, voice already edged with impatience, “you can tell us your real intention?” I stayed quiet, watching everything unfold.
