Kiss Me Not

The man on the other line remained silent. He could tell that Gavin was furious because of what happened to Brione. He could already imagine the mischief that could befall on Derek Cyrus.

He messed with the wrong person. Their Highness Gavin would not let this slide and he would surely ruin Derek to avenge Brione. He just disrespected and threatened Brione, abusing his power and authority as CEO and Chairman of Cooper Entertainment.

"Send me the clips. I want to see what he has done to my wife!" Gavin ordered the man with a stern cold voice. 

Gavin's voice was enough to send shivers to someone's spine. He immediately obeyed Gavin, sending him the video clips of what happened in the dressing room.

"Keep watching Brione! Don't let that bastard get near her. Tell my order to Kevin. He should keep Brione safe all the time!"

"Yes, Sir. Noted!"

After giving them his instructions, Gavin ended the call. Seconds later, he received the video clips.

Gavin silently watched the video. He subconsciously clenched his fists tightly after seeing Derek touching and holding Brione. 

His blood boiled in rage further when he heard how Derek threatened Brione so that she would not terminate her contract.

Gavin almost broke his phone when Derek made his move against Brione, forcing himself on her. Fortunately, Brione was able to escape.

"Gavin, what's wrong? Is everything alright?" Xander asked him worriedly. He could tell that something was off. Gavin's expression turned ugly after the call. He looked so mad.

"Xander…"

"Yes?" Xander watched Gavin in confusion.

"You are the previous owner of Cooper Entertainment, right? I want to buy Cooper Entertainment!" Gavin declared to Xander with a very serious expression on his face.

Xander rubbed his chin as he remembered the agreement between Derek and him.

"Actually, like I mentioned before, Derek and I had an agreement. If Derek ruins or tarnishes the company's name because of his actions, he has to sell the company back to me."

"Why, Gavin? Why do you want to buy Cooper Entertainment?"

"It's for my wife! I want to surprise her by buying Cooper Entertainment. Aside from that, I want Derek Cyrus to get out of the picture! He keeps on bugging my wife!"

"Speaking of tarnishing the company's reputation… you need to see this, Xander. With this, I will destroy that bastard!!!" 

Gavin handed over his phone to Xander as he showed him the video clips wherein Derek Cyrus tried to harass Brione in her dressing room.

Xander accepted his phone and watched the video. A deep frown appeared on his forehead seeing how Derek behaved inappropriately in that video.

"It is a clear abuse of authority, Xander. Derek is using his position to threaten Brione. Is this how a CEO of Cooper should treat their artists? He just disrespected my wife! I can't ever forgive that! I will ruin Derek Cyrus! I will let him pay tenfold!" Gavin burst out.

Xander was not happy to see this. Who would have thought that Derek Cyrus would behave like this? If he was in Gavin's shoes, he would also do the same. So Xander knew where Gavin was coming from.

"I understand, Gavin. Don't worry. I think I can use this incident to get the company back from Derek Cyrus. Once I get it back, I will gladly sell it to you," Xander said, reassuring Gavin.

"I'm sorry about this. I didn't expect that this would happen to your wife." Xander also apologized to Gavin.

"It's alright, Xander. No need to apologize to me. This is not your fault. You have no control over it. It was Derek Cyrus who ruined everything."

"But I am glad that you are willing to sell Cooper Entertainment to me. I have to thank you for that."

Xander smiled faintly at Gavin. "I will be more at ease if the company will be under you. You are a good man and a good leader, Gavin. You will manage this company very well."

"Don't worry. I will talk to Derek right away to take this company back."

Gavin nodded his head. A chilly glint flashed through his eyes as he thought of many ways on how to ruin Derek Cyrus.

"What are you planning now?" Xander asked Gavin.

"Hmm, I'm planning to ruin that man named Derek Cyrus! I will make sure that he will regret messing with my wife!"

Xander could only smile helplessly. 'Poor Derek. He offended someone he shouldn't have.'

"Gavin, I will just tell my secretary to contact and summon Derek to see me. It's time to get Cooper Entertainment back."

"Thank you, Xander. I would really appreciate this."

"No need to mention it, Gavin."

Xander excused himself first, ordering his secretary to call Derek Cyrus. He wanted to meet him. He would reclaim the company and sell it to Gavin. 

Meanwhile, Gavin also made a call. He contacted one of the best lawyers in the country. He was planning to sue Derek for harassing Brione. He wanted to put him in jail. That's one of the sweetest revenge he could think of right now.

After talking to a lawyer, Gavin decided to call Brione to check on her. He was worried that Brione was shocked because of the incident.

He dialed Brione's phone number. After a few rings, the call got connected and Brione's soft voice was heard from the other line.

"Hello, Darling?"

"Sweetheart, are you okay? Are you hurt somewhere? I swear I will beat that bastard for you! I will give him the punishment he deserves. How dare he touch you?"

Brione was taken aback for a moment. She could hear both concern and anger in Gavin's voice. She already expected this. Sooner or later, he would know about what happened between Derek and her.

"Darling, I am fine. I'm not hurt anywhere. You see, I can protect myself. So don't worry too much. I gave that bastard a good beating. Make sure to reward me at home."
