FLASH MARRIAGE; CHARMED BY THE RUTHLESS BILLIONAIRE CEO

The tension in the hall was palpable and suffocating as Mrs Celestina Bell slowly climbed up the stage escorted by two organizers of the event.

People were cheering and chanting loudly, almost drowning her tiny voice as she spoke into the microphone.

"Hello everyone." Celestine cleared her trembling voice away from the microphone, her brimming eyes locked on her husband for support. "Is an honour for me to be standing on this magnificent auditorium to present the awards to the overall best female actress in a movie series. But before I do that, please I'd like to crave your indulgence to shout out to my amazing children all the way in Frost Fall."

The clapping and cheering intensified as Celestine called all her children's names one by one.

"Such lovely names for her children. It's such a pity their father is a scumbag." Amelia hissed, a frown etching across her face as she pictured the horror on the woman's face when the video was revealed.

Feeling a bit guilty for the unfortunate wife as well, Blaze tried to reassure Amelia as he slowly interlocked hands with her.

"We are simply doing her a favour. It will be good radiance to bad rubbish. No woman deserves to be cheated on or taken for granted by such a shrewd and despicable man. She's a pretty woman and can find love elsewhere for herself and her kids."

Amelia stole a side glance at her handsome husband, chuckling at his statement.

"What!" Blaze tilted his head to look at her, his eyes brimming with so much love and affection. "Did I say something wrong?"

"No. You are absolutely right. She deserves better. It's just unfortunate she loves her husband and her family so much. It will really take a toll on her."

"That is why I've made other arrangements for her and her children," Blaze said, stroking the back of Amelia's hands lovingly.

"Since she's not working and depends on her husband's income for survival, I figured the bastard would try to clip her wings like the last time and force her to stay married to him. But by the time she leaves this hall, all of her husband's life savings, plus a bonus from me would be in her complete control. She won't need the scumbag for anything else, other than to kick him in the nuts."

"Wicked!" A sly smirk curled up Amelia's lips.

Blaze lifted the back of her hand to his lips. "Thanks again for agreeing to accompany us on short notice."

"You should know I'm here because of Henry." Amelia rolled her eyes at him smiling.

"Did someone mention my name?" Henry leaned closer, butting in the couple's private conversations.

"Can you be less annoying?" Blaze scowled dangerously at Henry.

"Amelia, your husband is threatening me again?" Henry made a puppy pleading face.

Amelia couldn't stop herself from laughing at this two men, who were cracking her up.

"You know my wife won't be here to protect you forever, right?" Blaze smirked wickedly at Henry.

"What makes you feel I won't?" Amelia arched her brow at her husband.

"You see." Henry winked at Blaze. "My immunity is one hundred percent assured."

The dramatic music coming from the stage forced the lively chatter to temporarily cease.

"Here we go..." Amelia mused, tightening her hold on Blaze's hand, her shimmering eyes glistening with anticipation.

Two rows behind Amelia, Tina's heart was drumming like a frantic, nervous bird trapped in a cage. She was certain the awards were coming to her, but something else was making her feel jumpy.

Maybe it's the fact that the woman standing on the stage was the wife of the man she f*cked two nights ago.

Or was it the fact that Amelia and Blaze's questionable alliance and presence made her feel miserable?

Or could it be the fact that Henry just jokingly acknowledged before the crowd that he had a crush on Amelia which led to him getting beat up and paid heavily?

None of this was making any sense to Tina and she couldn't wait to get out of this suffocating place.

"Finger crossed babe. I'm rooting for you." Joanna whispered from behind Tina, snapping her out of her excruciating thoughts.

"Thanks." Tina looked up only to see the VIP guest pulling out a card from the envelope that had the winner's name.

"And the winner is..."

The light on the stage dimmed as Celestine dramatically held everyone in suspense, her eyes sweeping through the crowd, beaming.

Tina held onto her brother and her best friend for support, her eyes closed tightly, and her lips moving in an earnest prayer.

"....Tina Stevens in Irrevocable," Celestine screamed into the microphone and the crowd went wild, chanting her name.

"Tina! Tina!! Tina!!!"

Overwhelming emotions swirled inside, bursting out in sparkly flares as Tina rose to her feet cupping her mouth, tears of joy and happiness flowing down her eyes. Her elaborately elegant dress trailed behind her, as the aggressively flashing camera lights revealed her enchanting and emotional expression.

"We love you, Tina."

"You are the best."

"We know you'll always make us proud."

"Go get it, girl..."

The ovation was wild.

Many people stood up in honour of her, clapping and cheering, as she slowly made her way to the stage escorted by her brother, her friends, her parents, her assistant and the cast and crew of Irrevocable.

But Blaze, Henry, Amelia and other VIPs in front amongst others, who felt Martina should be the winner kept their butts glued to their seats.

"This is going to be fun." Amelia grinned wickedly as she watched Tina sashayed across the stage to receive her award from Celestine.

The trailer of the movie, Irrevocable was been aired live on the huge backdrop, with millions of viewers watching this live broadcast.

However, as Tina's hands stretched forward, her finger brushing the gold award statue, an intimate conversation between her and Ferdinand came on air.

Tina, completely nude, straddling Ferdinand, whose hands were cupping her full succulent boobs, replaced the earlier airing video trailer.

Someone working behind the scenes, amplified the volume of the airing video so that even those hanging outside the hall could hear.

"Consider the award yours, baby as long as you let me eat your pussy..." Ferdinand, now lying stark naked on the bed with his dick buried deep in Tina's core, groaned in a deep guttural voice as Tina rocked him from the top like a pro.

"Freddy?!" Celestine, who was about to hand over the award statue, froze, her heel rooted to the polished marble floor, her grip tightening around the base of the award as her head snapped upwards in horror.

"Ah!" Wild gasps erupted around the hall with parents -who had kids seated by their side,- impulsively cupping their children's eyes from seeing the raw exchange on screen.
