31. Take it as my first warning!

'Hello?" Xander shouted on the other end of the line, but his conversation partner was no longer there. He angrily dropped his phone on his desk. He couldn't believe Briella had left without saying goodbye or speaking to him. She went to Bali with her stupid assistant! That hurt his ego! Briella had never spent much on him, and whenever he mentioned her inheritance, she quickly changed the subject. 'So? Where is she? Is it true she's in Bali?" Matilda impatiently asked him. He didn't answer, lost in thought. He still couldn't understand why his fiancée was avoiding him. Her behavior had changed, and he always felt her sarcasm whenever they talked—had something happened that he didn't know about? 'Xander, I'm talking to you! Don't tell me you should be with that woman on vacation," Matilda snapped at him. 'What? Of course not! I'm just thinking of how we can ruin her," he lied. She would likely have something else to say if he mentioned what was really on his mind. Matilda's face lit up, and she chuckled.'Is that all you're worried about? Leave it to me," she said. He furrowed his brow, finding it hard to believe she already had a plan to ruinBriella's reputation. 'Do you have a plan?" he asked her. 'Of course, Babe, who else?" she replied, sitting on his desk before him.'But I want you to do it." 'Huh? Why me?" he asked, puzzled. 'Duh, you're the CEO of this company, and you're the only one entitled to speak against the talents here," she replied smugly. 'What do you want me to do?" he asked. He didn't ask for a further explanation because he knew it would only irritate her more. Perhaps her pregnancy was making her more irritable. 'I want you to release an announcement about me signing a contract with Sun Glow Fashion. There is no need to mention the date. Just say Soon. I'm sure it will be trending worldwide! I'll make sure to have my fans spread the news, and I'll have them make memes about the trouble Briella caused at the conference! I'll turn her into a laughingstock, so when she returns, she'll have no face to show, and no one will endorse their products. What do you think?" Her eyes sparkled as she spoke. He secretly hesitated; he couldn't let on that he was unsure about Sun Glow Fashion. He had followed up with them several times, but there was no response. He even called them four to five times a day, but his secretary said Miss Janice Ortega was busy and couldn't be disturbed at the moment. On the other hand, they didn't say anything about his previous announcement; perhaps they were okay with it and actually planned to sign Matilda. Right! That's it! Because if they were opposed, they would immediately tell him off, and his company might even be sued for what he did. Using another company's name to gain more fame is a crime. Moreover, they wouldn't be at a loss if they signed Matilda; he was sure magazines and other products she endorsed would sell out immediately. He smiled at the thought and approached the woman, looking up. 'I'll ready my team to announce the news," he said. Matilda clapped with joy and hugged him. She sat on his lap, and their bodies ignited as she felt her softness against him. He swallowed hard several times, wasting no time, and immediately seized her neck and passionately kissed her lips. She reciprocated and quickly undid his belt, diverting her mini skirt to surprise him. 'You're not wearing any panties?" he raised an eyebrow. She laughed seductively and revealed her length and matched it against him before slowly pushing it in. 'It will take time for you to take that damn thing," she said, quickly moving on top of him. Soon, the sounds of their lovemaking filled his office. He found himself going crazier for Matilda every time he heard her name in her moans and the explicit words coming out of her mouth. That's one thing he liked about her; she let him be himself. He placed her on the table and removed her blouse, revealing she wasn't wearing a bra, and he immediately noticed her erect nipples. Damn! This woman knows how to make me addicted to her! He grabbed one of her breasts and toyed with the crown on top of it. Matilda's moans grew louder, her movements faster, until they reached their private paradise together. 'Oh, shit, babe! You're the best of the best," he exclaimed as they caught their breath. Matilda grinned and adjusted her wrinkled clothes. He took wipes to clean his length, which had exploded thousands of sperm inside the girl. Could our child be twins from our repeated intercourse while she's pregnant? 'I know, that's why you're mine. I am the best, so give me everything I want, babe. No one else can give you this kind of happiness," she said. He smiled and planted a kiss on her lips. 'I can do that; this company will be yours when you give birth," he said. She pouted and frowned at him.'You know that's not my priority right now; I want to be included in the list of nominees for Asian Top Models. When that happens, I'll have a bigger chance," she exclaimed. 'Then so be it; I'll do everything I can to make it happen, babe," He said tenderly. Her face lit up, and she happily hugged him, but he hadn't closed his zipper yet, so he felt it harden again. 'Babe . . " he whispered. She grinned and got down from the table, kneeling before him, knowing exactly what to do. He closed his eyes and left his mouth open as she started worshipping him. F*ck, how can I refuse this kind of woman when she's giving me all the pleasure I want? He stood there panting, holding Matilda's head tightly as she continued her actions. Loud curses and moans escaped his mouth as she played with his balls using her hands while still taking all of him in her mouth. 'That's right, babe. Ugh," he moaned as she pleasured his balls and teased them with her hands while still having his hardness in her mouth. He bit his lip as she managed to take all of him in one move. He tightened his grip on her hair, and he heard her moans. Because of that, he climaxed as she still had him entirely in her mouth. 'Fu . . . ck," he groaned loudly. **** Braun raised his head upon hearing a knock on the door of his office. 'Come in," he said with a commanding voice akin to a king's. 'Mr. President," Luigi greeted him, holding an iPad as he approached. Braun stopped reading and signing documents and waited for him to come closer. Luigi placed the iPad on his desk, and Braun's expression darkened as he saw the news. 'Mr. Madrigal announced the contract signing of Miss Jimenez under Sun Glow Fashion. They didn't specify a date or other details. Miss Jimenez immediately trended, and rumors are circulating that he'll enter the Asian Top Model list once her contract with MissOrtega's company is over," Luigi reported. His jaw tightened as he looked at the man who deceived and hurt Briella. At that moment, he wanted to confront him personally, to see firsthand how he would react when he learned the whole truth. 'Mr. President, there are also memes circulating about Madam Briella," Luigi hesitantly added. 'What?" Braun raised an eyebrow at Luigi's words. Luigi handed him the iPad, and his expression darkened even more as he saw an anonymous anonymous account's ugly comments and memes. 'Enough of this bullshit," he said through clenched teeth. 'Mr. President, if Madam Briella finds out you're helping her." 'Do I look like I need your opinion, Luigi?" he shot back sharply. Luigi fell silent immediately and didn't speak again. 'Find the IP address of that f*cking anonymous account. I want to make that son of a b*tch pay! Do it now," he ordered with authority. Luigi promptly complied and left his office. Braun glanced at the photos of Briella, which turned into mockery. I won't let this go! If they want to play dirty, then I won't back down! No one can hurt my wife! I swear I'll make them pay tenfold! He opened his drawer and took out his phone. He dialed a number and heard it on the other end of the line. 'Hello" 'I want you to turn down the trending topic, and I'll send you one worth for that damn rank," he said authoritatively. 'Just tell me what to do, Sir," the person on the other end replied. 'Give me a minute, and I'll send it to your email." With that, he hung up his phone. He took his phone and made a call, his eyebrows furrowing when the person didn't answer. He took a deep breath, trying to calm himself, but how could he when he was already breaking the people behind the smear campaign against his wife in his mind? 'F*ck! Answer the goddamn phone" he gritted his teeth and redialed the number. 'Hello? What the hell? Why are you calling? I'm busy." 'Send me a short clip of behind the scenes. Make it blur," he immediately instructed. 'Duh! Don't boss me around, jerk," the person retorted. His expression darkened even more at the person's rudeness. 'Do it or else" 'Fine," the person interrupted.'No need to threaten me. I'll send it to you." 'I want it now," he demanded.'Do it, and I'll give you thirty seconds." He didn't wait for the person to speak and hung up his phone. He then opened his laptop and waited for the short clip video he requested. He promised Briella he wouldn't interfere with the issues she faced with the despicable people, but he couldn't just stand by and let those bastards tarnish Briella in front of the netizens. It didn't take long for a notification to pop up on his screen. He checked it and was momentarily stunned, staring at the monitor screen. The images were blurry but enough to create a buzz. But he heard voices cheering and applauding, perhaps because of the beautiful scenery they saw. 'Perfect! That was great! I can't wait to show this to the world," the photographer exclaimed. 'She is indeed unbeatable, the Queen and a Goddess! A very natural-born supermodel," another person praised. 'Is it a wrap, Direk?" a staff member asked. Braun sighed and leaned back in his chair, downloading the clip. Their faces were blurred, and no one could determine who was who. But when the camera focused on a tall and sexy figure, his heart rate quickened, even though he couldn't see her entirely. The fast beating of his heart was enough to guess who it was. His wife was the only person who could do that in this world. His Queen. And he wouldn't let anyone dare to bring Briella down. If anyone dared to hurt and oppress her, they would have to deal with him. He wouldn't allow anyone to ruin Briella's dreams and use his power to crush those who dared to stand in her way. No one could block his wife from achieving her dreams because that's the only way she would fully accept him as her husband and stay by his side. He'll give her the support of a King. Every King wants their Queen to be happy, and if anyone gets in the way, he'll crush them mercilessly. After downloading the short video, he called his previous contact and sent the video. When the person answered his call, they confirmed that they received it. 'I want you to come up with a caption and make it stay on the top until I say so," he ordered with authority. 'Copy," the person replied. He ended the call and returned the phone to his drawer. A dangerous smile played on his lips as he devised an idea to ruin Xander Madrigal's life. Surely, Briella wouldn't mind if I used the name of my company to greet Xander's shabby company. With that thought in mind, he called Luigi, and within a second, the man was in front of him. 'Send a red envelope to Star Agency," he said as he pretended to sit comfortably. 'Sir," Luigi looked surprised at his words. He gave Luigi a sharp look. 'Do I need to repeat myself to you?" he asked sternly. 'N-No, Mr. President. I'll call Attorney Carlo right away," Luigi said, quickly leaving his presence. He clasped his hands together and smirked dangerously. Xander, take it as my first warning? If you repeat this kind of foolishness, I'll ensure everything you boast about disappears.
