FLASH MARRIAGE; CHARMED BY THE RUTHLESS BILLIONAIRE CEO - Chapter 63

Chapter 63: An Unscripted Short Drama.

Amelia and Henry -back in his disguise- strolled out of the restaurant towards the parking lots, holding hands like a real couple and chatting freely. They arrived at the parking lot just in time to see Blaze disappear into the limo while slamming the door in Tina’s face.

“Ouch! That must really hurt.” Henry almost felt sorry for Tina. But when he remembered how she left Blaze broken and bitter for a long time, he snickered at Tina’s dejected state.

Amelia on the other hand couldn’t be more proud of Blaze. A wicked smile crept up her lips as she watched Tina stand dejectedly by the side of the black limo, which was now pulling away. She was glad that neither Blaze nor his mother gave Tina any attention after all her egocentric attitude and confidence.

“Serves her right.” Amelia echoed in her heart, turning her face forward as Tina tilted her head backwards, her face covered in tears.

“Poor Tina,” Henry muttered under his breath, chuckling. “Blake must have given it to her real hard.”

‘He knows Tina?’ Amelia was stunned. She was about to probe further when she heard Tina’s unmistakable broken voice calling her name.

“What now?” Amelia hissed under her breath.

Henry observed the was Amelia’s body stiffened in his arm as Tina hurried towards them. He leaned closer to her ear and whispered.

“I can get rid of her if you want me to.”

Although Henry’s action was genuine and harmless, his warm breath which was in contrast to the cool evening breeze fanned against Amelia’s ear, causing a shiver to run down her spine.

Henry’s action caught Amelia off guard. She looked up to meet his softened gaze, a posture that depicted a couple about to share an intimate moment.

Tina, who was now standing a few meters from them was left in a daze. The averagely handsome bearded man in plain jeans and a white shirt seemed enthralled by the beauty in his arms. Even a blind man could tell that he was in love. But Amelia’s response was more of a surprise than attraction.

“Could this be her husband?” Tina muttered under her breath. “Have I been accusing her wrongly? But it was her voice I heard. She was the one talking to Blaze. But why didn’t he escort her out of the restaurant if they were lovers? Why did he leave her all by herself to another man?”

Tina recalled how possessive and protective Blaze was towards her while they were still dating. He could never stand a man holding her this close or lusting over her in the open. Something was wrong somewhere and she was desperate to find out before making a blunder.

“Okay.” Amelia heard herself whisper back to Henry. She was thankful Blaze wasn’t physically present to witness this otherwise, Herry would have lost more than a tooth.

“Okay,” Henry said in his usual playful voice as Tina got closer to them.

“That is close enough!” Pascal came forward, scowling at her.

“Amelia, I’m sorry.” Tina, whose eyes were already teary, switched into her actress mood, cupping her face with both hands and sniffling out loud.

“Who is this, honey?”

“Honey?” Tina echoed in her heart, a thin smile slowly taking shape at the corner of her lips, as she peeked through her slightly parted fingers.

‘Blaze is going to kill us.’ Amelia instantly regretted accepting Henry’s help. But she still played along, not wanting to hurt his feelings.

“It’s an acquaintance I met at the bar some days ago,” Amelia replied forcing a smile on her face while massaging her forehead as though she had a migraine.

“Acquaintance!” Tina removed her hands from her reddened face to reveal the hurt in her eyes. “Amelia I thought we were friends.”

“Look here, lady…” Henry said sternly in his foreign accent, making Amelia stifle a chuckle. “… I will not have you disturbing my sweetheart. We have somewhere special to be tonight and your presence is ruining our fun. If your boyfriend dumped you, go find another. A pretty girl like you shouldn’t chase a man.” He shooed Tina as though she was some sort of a pesky fly while leading Amelia towards her car.

Although Amelia was inwardly troubled by Henry’s choice of words, she was beyond thrilled at his face-slapping statement. It almost felt as though she was in one of his movies where the fake heroine is tossed aside for the true female lead protagonist.

‘What a beautiful unscripted short drama.’ Amelia thought.

Although irked by Amelia’s lover’s statement, Tina was inwardly joyful to hear him speak so passionately about her. Could it be that she had been wrong all this while? The fact that Blaze saved Amelia didn’t necessarily mean that he was in love with her. Moreover, Blaze wasn’t the type to fall in love so easily.

This only meant two things. Either this strangely familiar-looking man is responsible for the diamond ring on Amelia’s finger or he was her secret lover. But whatever be the case, Tina saw it as a win-win. She gets to keep Amelia as a friend and win Blaze’s heart without any competition.

Quickly switching back to her friendly and endearing nature, Tina hurried after Amelia and her lover, trying her best not to trip over on her pencil heels. She called out to Amelia, begging her to stop.

Amelia, who was inches away from her car finally turned around, her face devoid of emotions.

“Can you please let me be?” Amelia snapped angrily, taking Henry by surprise. “Why are you chasing me and calling my name out loud? Do I owe you anything? You are seriously beginning to get on my nerves.”

“Amelia, I’m so sorry.” Tina held out her hands towards Amelia. But Pascal wouldn’t let her come within ten feet closer. “I know you are angry at me for some of the things I said back at the restroom. The truth is that I felt insecure and jealous when I learned that you were friends with my ex’s mother. Please, forgive me.”

“I bear no grudges against you, Tina. Nevertheless, whom I choose to keep as my friend is none of your business. And please, stop trying so hard to be friends with me. It makes your motives suspicious. Good evening.” Amelia hissed and walked away, climbing into the rear seat of her car which was held open by Lance.

Tina stood there and watched as Amelia’s sleek black Bentley drove by, closely followed by her SUV escort. She quickly wiped her tears scoffing at the disappearing headlight.

“Who wants to be friends with a broken record?” She hissed and turned around, heading back for the restaurant when she received a call from Remy. She swiped the receive button and said angrily.

“What is the problem?”

“I think you need to leave quickly. There is trouble.” Remy said in a panicked voice.

“Trouble?” Tina quickened her steps. “What’s the matter.”

“You know the waiter whom we paid to spy on Amelia and her company?”

“Yes?”

“The cops are here to pick him up?”

“What?”
