CHAPTER 452
On October 31st, the much–anticipated “Celestial Cinema Awards” voting results finally hit the internet. Xanthea clinched the title of “Celestial Goddess” with a landslide victory, amassing over six million votes, leaving Isabella trailing in her stardust.
The following day, the grandest event in the industry, the Celestial Cinema Awards ceremony, was held at the prestigious Crestwood Museum by the sponsor.
It was a ceremony where stars collided, with A–listers galore. Actors and pop icons graced the red carpet in a sequence that seemed orchestrated by the heavens, surrounded by a galaxy of flashing cameras and photographers. The live stream was buzzing with excitement, fans boiling over with anticipation like a pot of hot chili.
[OMG, been waiting forever for this live stream, finally!]
[SSSAM, we’re here for you!
[Isabella, look over here, can you strike a pose? The fans are dying to see!]
[Nelson, my heart belongs to you!!
[Rising superstar Xanthea, sweet yet majestic, beauty beyond compare, Celestial Goddess Xantheal]
[Hey, you in the back, wrong set? Xanthea’s not on the red carpet!]
[What??? You kidding me?? Been waiting all this time and now you tell me she’s not here?!]
[Chill, folks, chill. Xanthea is the Celestial Goddess, she’ll be making a grand entrance in a custom gown later tonight. Surely she won’t show up here. Just wait for the award segment, you won’t be disappointed..
[LOL, can’t wait to see her in that Celestial Goddess gown, I’m drooling already!]
[Been ages since Xan showed up, missing her like crazy!]
[Any chance Xan’s laying low because she’s dating Mr. Lockwood?]
[Ah, my heart, that’s gold! Lock that ship, tie them to the bed, and don’t let them up for days!]
“Ethan, do I look sharp today?”
In front of the minor Samuel was a bundle of nerves and excitement, fussing over his bow tie.
Ethan gave him a once–over, noting his “peacock moment“, “For sure. You’re about to outshine all the stars later.”
“That’s the plan!” He boasted, not missing a beat to return the compliment, “But you’re the real looker tonight. I’m just the runner–up.” “Tonight’s about Xan getting her award. Why the need to dress to the nines?”
“You just don’t get it. As her brother, I gotta represent!”
The real reason was sitting with Orion later; he had to outdo him in the style stakes. That way, when Xan looked down from the stage with her award, he’d be the first she saw!
Ethan saw right through him, chuckling as he shook his head, “Let’s head out.”
Swaggering into the venue, Samuel was immediately struck by the sight of Orion, surrounded by a throng at the entrance,
Orion was decked out in a dark, bespoke suit, looking every bit the noble heartthrob, at a level of cool that seemed almost otherworldly Samuel gritted his teeth in silent concession; he lost again. Belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.
It had to be the height and age advantage!
“Ethan, Samuel.”
Orion walked over and greeted them, with Ethan nodding in response while Samuel squinted, begrudgingly saying, “Orion, don’t think booking us VIP seats makes up for it! To think you snuck my little sister back home while I was abroad, blatantly ignoring the Nightshade family rules!”
His precious little sister, the treasure he’d guarded so closely for decades, was seduced back home by this wolf in sha thoroughly won over. The thought alone made him want to throw & punch!
