FLASH MARRIAGE; CHARMED BY THE RUTHLESS BILLIONAIRE CEO - Chapter 283

Chapter 283: Military Escort
The Ranco Correctional facility, located on the outskirts of Pelicum City in country M, is known for its high-security building design.

Characterized majorly by high-security fences, walls, guard towers and groundbreaking electronic surveillance, an attempted escape from this facility was an impossible mission.

The facility held two major distinct sections; medium security – allowing more freedom for inmates with fewer felonies – to maximum security with single cells and double fences -for convicted and long-term serving criminals.

Since Blaze was yet to be convicted by the court for his crimes, he was held within the medium security section of the facility.

Thanks to his status, international connection and friends in high places, Blaze was given one of the luxury prison accommodations which could be likened to a luxury executive hotel suite.

Sadly, nothing can be compared to a man’s freedom of movement or speech.

Even though Blaze was offered one of the best prison meals, he rarely had an appetite to eat, causing him to lose some pounds.

Instead of eating well, Blaze would rather engage in rigorous exercises that toughened up his body for the battle ahead.

But today was different.

His beautiful pregnant wife was coming over.

Blaze wanted to look good for Amelia. He knew she would be heartbroken to see him looking this trimmed and somewhat stressed.

After shaving his overgrown beard, and trimming his hair to evoke his natural charm, Blaze personally cleaned up his room.

With the help of the friendly prison warden, he acquired some natural air freshener, some roses and some scented candles.

By the time Blaze was done transforming his prison accommodation into a romantic nest, it was already past noon.

Taking another shower, he changed into one of his sky-blue prison uniforms and left for the common room.

After almost seven hours of being in the air, Amelia was thrilled when the plane finally touched down at Pelicum City International Airport, located in the heart of Country M.

Dressed in a turtleneck cream sweater, with an elegant female winter coat, paired with blue well-fitted jeans and black heels boots, Amelia was looking completely stunning.

With her soft golden brown wavy curls cascading down her shoulders and bouncing with each step, she had a lot of heads turning and eyes ogling at her.

On Amelia’s right side was her proud and extremely protective mother-in-law, looking also chicky in her winter outfit. And on her left-hand side was the family’s handsome best friend, toning down his appearance with a hat, and dark aviator sunglasses.

Behind them were Amelia’s intimidating bodyguard

Amongst the crowd of chatty passengers coming out of the arrival terminal, were her ghost bodyguards, who were hidden in plain sight.

Unbeknownst to the travelling trio, a team of assassins sent to take out Amelia’s bodyguard and kidnap them, had already been taken care of during the long flight by her ghost bodyguard.

All that was left of the assassins were their bruised and battered corpses, hidden in body bags in the cargo area of the plane.

Even though the trio had escaped being drugged and abducted by a notorious syndicate, they were not completely out of danger, as another retrieval team was waiting at the arrival terminal to receive them.

“Team Beta 01, something is wrong. I can’t locate Team Alpha and the clowns are still alive. The subject is on the move. I think our cover is blown. Abort mission.” An assassin disguised as a heavily pregnant woman, cladded in a cute long winter maternity gown alerted her teammates through the Bluetooth device attached to her ear.

“Let’s all meet at the rendezvous location.” The team leader, a young man posed as an Uber driver and waiting outside the arrival terminal driver’s way, radioed out to his team as he got into the car ready to leave.

Just then, a clergyman man with hair tinted silver white got into the back seat of the Uber driver’s car.

“Sir, I’m not working right now. You need to step out of the car.” The driver said impatiently looking at the calm and reverend clergyman through his rearview mirror.

But all the driver heard were three sinister words and the cold kiss of a silencer on his side.

“Drive or die.”

Without making a single fuss, the driver ignited the engine and zoomed off.

At the same time, the disguised pregnant woman and other members of her team were picked up one by one in the strangest way and by unsuspecting travellers.

When Amelia and her companion came out of the airport, a black-tinted bulletproof limo, courtesy of Blaze’s international billionaire friends was already waiting for them with military escort.

The air was cold and crisp, causing Amelia to shiver a little. She slipped on her winter gloves, her gaze scanning the military man on uniform, who was speaking to someone over the phone while staring in her direction.

“Are they here for us?” Amelia tilted her head to Maria in slight alarm.

“I guess so.” Maria watched in silence as Pascal moved ahead of them to interact briefly with the leader of the military escort.

“Your husband did mention that we will be picked up by a military escorts. He is not taking any chances with you,” Henry said proudly, knowing this was all Blaze in action.

“Why are we being escorted by the military? Are we in any form of danger?” Amelia could feel her heart pounding in her ears as her eyes scanned the long entourage of security, who were to accompany them. The last time she checked, she wasn’t the first lady of the country. She was just the simple wife of a billionaire businessman.

“Well, I think Blaze is being proactive in case anyone tries anything stupid,” Henry explained.

Amelia held her breath as the supposed leader of their military escort walked up to her, a polite smile framing his pale lips. He briefly acknowledged Maria first before turning his attention to her.

“Good evening, Mrs Amelia Anderson. Welcome to Pelicum City. I am Captain Israel and I will be your escort during your stay in this city.”

“Thank you, Captain Israel.” Amelia plastered a smile on her face, the cold air numbing her lips.

“Please, if you follow me.” Captain Israel gestured to the bulletproof limousine after acknowledging Henry respectfully.
