FLASH MARRIAGE; CHARMED BY THE RUTHLESS BILLIONAIRE CEO-Chapter 213: The Email

Maria woke up, feeling slightly under the weather. She had gone to bed the previous night with a heavy conscience after she tried speaking to Blaze the previous night but failed.

Blaze had been so into his wife that breaking their chemistry the previous night was impossible. Neither of them had finished their dinner before going upstairs to their bedroom.

So Maria decided to confess her crime to her children when it was daybreak.

Unfortunately, she slept in and only woke up when she heard Amelia's voice shouting her son's name.

Startled, thinking something bad had happened, Maria ran out of her bedroom and down the stairs, following her daughter-in-law's screaming voice.

"Oh God, please, don't let anything bad happen." Maria, still dressed in her night robe with her hair let down, hurried out of the mansion. She observed the mansion Butler and some servants crouched behind someone crying, who sounded just like Amelia.

"What is happening here?" Maria demanded while massaging her aching forehead.

"Good morning, Madam." The house butler and the other servants greeted with their heads lowered as they made room for the madam of the house to come close to her daughter-in-law.

"Amelia." Maria hurried towards her daughter-in-law, who was still kneeling on the concrete floor crying. She hurried to where Amelia was and knelt beside her why signaling the butler and servants to leave.

"What is wrong, my dear? Did you and Blaze quarrel?"

Amelia shook her head while leaning on her mother-in-law's chest still crying and sniffing.

"Then what happened? Talk to me." Maria pleaded in a quivering voice while stroking Amelia's hair and soothing her.

"I was going to tell him." Amelia managed to say as she hiccupped, trembling in her mother-in-law's arms.

"Tell him what?"

Amelia shook her head in response while holding tightly to Maria's robe, her body shaking.

"Alright, let's go inside. You are not dressed properly and you crying out here doesn't look good. People might think something else happened."

Amelia nodded and allowed her mother-in-law to pull her up to her feet.

"Sweet heavens. You've bruised yourself." Maria exclaimed observing Amelia's bleeding right knee.

Amelia only spared her bruised knee a glance, unperturbed by the stinging pain. She was more traumatized by the fact that she didn't get to speak to Blaze before he left. She stared backwards to the gate as if planning on running after the car. But Maria's kind words and soothing touch forced her to face the reality of the moment.

"Don't worry my dear, whatever it is, we can always address it. Come, let's go inside and attend to that injury before it gets infected."

Amelia nodded and followed Maria back into the mansion while limping a little.

Inside the mansion, Maria personally attended to Amelia's injury while Eugene got her some aspirin and water.

"Sister-in-law, drink this. You'll be fine, okay." Eugene said holding out the glass of water to Amelia and two white capsules in his palm.

Amelia nodded while wincing as Maria cleaned her injury.

"I tried calling Blaze but it wasn't connecting. so I reached out to the driver and he said your husband is currently on a conference meeting call." Eugene explained further while wondering what was so urgent that Amelia needed to say only to her husband.

"Why don't you go to the office and see him?" Maria suggested, looking up. She had tried questioning Amelia but the latter seemed unwilling to share whatever was aching her heart.

"Yes. That is a good idea." Amelia finally spoke up. "I'll go to his office. I'll see him after his meeting."

"Eugene will take you there," Maria said, giving her nephew the signal to go and get ready.

"Sure thing, mom." Eugene left the sitting room while Maria helped Amelia up to her feet, ignoring the warning signs in her depreciating health.

"Careful and don't stress that knee. Just take things slowly. Everything will be fine." Maria assured Amelia.

"Thanks, mom. I will explain everything to you when I get back." Amelia kissed Maria on the cheek.

"It's okay." Maria patted her on the back. "Go and get dressed now. When you and your husband return, there's something I need to tell the both of you."

"Alright, mom." Amelia hurriedly left for her bedroom to get ready.

Meanwhile, at the Andex Groups International, Blaze arrived at the office still engrossed in his conference call. He received a written note from his secretary informing him that all the managers of the various departments we already seated in the conference room and awaiting him.

Dropping his briefcase on his desk, he picked up his laptop and left for the conference room.

The meeting began earnestly with a detailed slide show presentation made by the operation manager, a tall but chubby man in a brown bespoke suit and neatly trimmed hair.

He informed everyone of the recent development regarding the newly acquired gold minefield and how it was set to take the company to the next level of production and innovation.

While the presentation was ongoing, Blaze decided to check his email for fresh updates from Marcus, who was currently in the said gold mining field, standing in for him.

There was nothing in his inbox from Marcus except an unknown account with the username Jack_123.

When Blaze clicked on the message, it read.

[Your wife is cheating on you. See attachment below.]

Blaze's calm expression turned frigid. His finger froze on the touchpad, and his heart began to pound in his ribcage as he read those words over and over again, unable to digest them.

His eyes narrowed at the attachment below, a storm brewing from the pit of his stomach as he clicked on the first attachment.

A picture of Amelia holding hands intimately with a young man whose face was turned sideways came into view. Both of them seemed to be exiting a restaurant, oblivious of their surroundings as they were staring at each other smiling.

Blaze didn't recognize the man in the picture immediately as rage and jealousy blinded his eyes, numbing his senses and making him only see red. His breathing became laboured and ragged. His hand resting on the table balled into a fist and his body trembled with unfathomable fury as he clicked on the second attachment.

Instantly, the audio recording came to life with Dr Ashely's cheerful voice reverberating in Blaze's ear.

[You are pregnant, Mrs Anderson.]

"What!" Blaze boomed, silencing the ongoing presentation as every pair of eyes in the conference room turned in his direction horrified by the monstrous look in his eyes.
