FLASH MARRIAGE; CHARMED BY THE RUTHLESS BILLIONAIRE CEO-Chapter 245: Ovation

The ovation in the air was electrifying with fans screaming the names of their favourite celebs as more guests turned up for the event.

Rumours were speculating all around that the highly celebrated and famous international movie superstar, Henry Gordon would be arriving any moment.

Consequently, the tension around the barricades intensified mounting more pressure on security personnel.

When a sleek black limited edition Roll Royce Phantom pulled over by the red carpet entrance, the crowd went wild thinking it was the anticipated celebrity. They held their breath as the posh-looking chauffeur, climbed out of the car and made his way around the vehicle to the rear door.

The camera light started flashing aggressively, as the chauffeur slowly opened the door with a polite bow of his head.

But to everyone's astonishment, instead of the highly anticipated celebrity, a powerful figure effortlessly stepped out of the car.

His cold and dangerously intimidating aura sent a wave of chill over the crowd, holding them spellbound for a couple of seconds. He was looking completely breathtaking, and stealthy in an all-black custom-made well-tailored suit, paired with black designer loafers and a golden Rolex wristwatch that glistened under the bright flashing light.

"Who is that?" A man whispered from the crowd.

"Shh..." A lady hushed the man, raising a finger to his lips. "Don't you know the billionaire chairman and CEO of Andex Group international? He is not a man you should mess around with. I hear he could kill a man with the snap of his finger."

"He is Mr Anderson?!" The first man's eyes widened in horror as the lady nodded her head.

"If he's here, then his infamous villainous wife should also be here and you know what that means." Another lady murmured in a thrilled voice, her eyes brimming with anticipation.

"A showdown." The second lady rubbed her hands together, grinning from cheek to cheek.

Blaze gracefully straightened out his suit jacket, a devilishly charming smile etching across his face as he stretched his hand into the car, like a perfect gentleman.

A hush fell over the crowd as a goddess draped in a show-stopping, sleeveless open-back black dress stepped out of the car, an enchanting smile framing her pretty face.

Her luscious silky golden brown hair was held in a loose chignon, revealing her slender neck which was adorned with a simple but elegant crystal diamond necklace with matching dangle earrings.

A wild gasp escaped everyone's lips as the couple interlocked arms, looking fierce and intimidating like a power couple.

They both shared a brief intimate kiss before the bewildered crowd, leaving so many jaws dropping and eyes almost popping.

As if the presence of the enigmatic couple wasn't enough to suffocate the crowd with excitement, the long-awaited celebrity, stepped out of the same car behind Amelia.

Rocking a custom-made well tailored red jacket with black lapels that matched his pants, and fun accessories to give him that pop look, Henry stole the breath of all the ladies in the crowd including the men.

Everyone completely forgot about Amelia being the villainous insecure housewife who bullied the celebrity actress, as Henry took her second free hand and dramatically planted a polite kiss on the back of her hand.

Instantly, the crowd went wild with excitement; screaming, cheering, chanting words of praise and even carrying out overzealous gestures, like throwing red and white rose flowers to the trio.

Both gentlemen with the lady in the middle majestically made their way into the hall smiling and waving at the euphoric fans who couldn't get enough of them.

Inside the brilliantly illuminated hall, with aesthetic state-of-the-art decoration that left a lot of guests marvelling, the euphoria in the air was electrifying.

The event host, Mario O'Bryan and his partner and his partner Kelly May, kept guests laughing their hearts out with their hilarious jokes and comments.

All seven judges responsible for the compilation of the names of the winning actors and actresses in the various categories of nomination were given the honorary VIP seating spot in the front row.

Ferdinand was busy chatting away with his fellow judge colleagues, discussing upcoming projects, when Tina walked by with her brother and friends, looking flamboyant and sexy in her killer outfit.

Ferdinand instantly forgot what he was talking about as his hungry eyes trailed after Tina, ogling at his round ass while unconsciously moistening his lips until his friend snapped him out of his lust with a single word.

"Celestine!"

"Why are you calling my w...." Ferdinand instantly froze in his seat, as his gaze met those of his wife glaring at him.

A few minutes earlier...

After a day of pampering, shopping and enjoying the best things life could offer, Celestine Bell was over the moon with excitement to see her husband.

She arrived at the Premium Star event centre in a limousine, courtesy of the five-star hotel and her unknown benefactor who claimed to be an associate of her husband.

Elegantly donned in a dazzling turquoise blue sequin dinner dress, Celestine was sure to steal Ferdinand's breath away. She had already made plans for the night after the event to give her darling husband the best night ever.

When Celestine made her way towards the front row following a steward's direction, she couldn't stop smiling to herself. She knew how much her husband loved surprises and this was going to be the best surprise ever.

Sadly when she finally spotted her husband, he seemed more interested in a young actress who was passing by and minding her own business.

"Hello Freddy, surprise." Celestine forced a smile that didn't get beyond her throat while keeping her jealousy in check to avoid creating a scene.

"C.... Celeste! W...what are you d...doing here, honey? A...aren't you supposed to be home in Frost Fall with the kids." Ferdinand stuttered, slowly rising to his feet, his heart drumming loudly in his chest.

"As you can see, I'm not in Frost Fall and the kids are fine. I came all the way here just to surprise you. The least I can get for my efforts should be a hug and a seat instead of these interrogating questions. Wouldn't you agree, Honey?" Celestine maintained her plastered smile while speaking through gritted teeth.

"Hey, please can you two sit down or find somewhere else to chat? You are obstructing our view." A chubby-looking lady in over embellished dress with loud makeup complained irritably while gesturing at the couple.

"I'm very sorry ma'am. Will take our seat." Ferdinand looked down pleadingly to his colleague friend, who smiled knowingly as he stood up and said.

"Is good to see you, Mrs Bell. You look astonishingly beautiful. You can have my seat."

"Such a gentleman, thank you, Mr Duncan." Celestine smiled genuinely at her husband's friend before plopping down on his seat.

Ferdinand slowly sat down, his hands trembling and beads of sweat gathering on his forehead as he turned to look at his wife.

"You look..."

"Save it." Celestine snapped in a low voice as she leaned closer to her husband. "Who is that young lady you are staring at."

"Which lady..." Ferdinand's quivering voice betrayed him.

"The one in the red dress with the pretty-looking boobs. The one you couldn't get your eyes off." Celestine, snarled, knowing her husband's weaknesses for young girls. "Do you like her? Is she your new catch?"

"Never, honey," Ferdinand said almost immediately while cursing his ill luck and he foiled plans for the night.

"I could never betray you again, not after the last time. I made a promise to be faithful to my marital vow and so far, I have kept it. You can trust me."

"Unfortunately I do not trust you." Celestine hissed, eyeing her husband suspiciously.

"And you better not be lying to me, Freddy. Because if I find out that you're messing around with any of these young actresses again, I will castrate you and shove your balls down your throat."

Celestine vowed, sealing her promise with a kiss before turning her attention to the hilarious comedian on stage.

Ferdinand gulped down the lump in his throat, knowing his wife wasn't the type to joke around. He quickly pushed every thought of Tina out of his mind, while focusing on his wife and praying that she never finds out about his extramarital affair with Tina.

Seated in the third row with other A-List celebrity actors and actresses, Tina could barely contain her excitement after learning that the votes for the best female actress, were now in her favour.

On several occasions, she caught Martina, her rival in the movie industry, sneering disdainfully at her.

Tina couldn't care less if Martina's eyes popped out from eyeing her as long as she got the award for the best female actress. Already, she was getting calls from big movie industries wanting to partner with her and she couldn't ways to explore those juicy options

"Babe,

have you heard, Harry Gordon is here." Joanna cried out from behind Tina.

"Impossible!" Tina's eyes widened in disbelief. "I heard he was not coming."

"Who told you that?" Joanna raised a brow.

"I don't know. But I just heard." Tina rolled her eyes, her heart pounding in her chest as she recalled Henry's bruised face. She was sure he couldn't heal completely in two days except he was planning to wear a mask.

"He is here?" Joanna cried out tilting her head to the back, phone raised in the air ready to capture her idol and crush.

"Where?" Tina also turned back, her eyes widened in horror. She could see a commotion by the entrance to the hall, as security personnel tried to clear excited guests from the aisle, who were already screaming his name.
