FLASH MARRIAGE; CHARMED BY THE RUTHLESS BILLIONAIRE CEO-Chapter 332: Family Reunion Disaster 3 (Spoiler Alert: Reader’s discretion advised.)

"Ah!" A tidal wave of gasps surged through the small crowd.

"What..." Nana Shawls pupils dilated in horror, her hand impulsively cupping her mouth.

"What did you say?" Senator Gregory growled like a wounded beast, his widened eyes shooting lasers and his nose flared.

He recalled his wife dying confession about been raped on the night before their wedding. But she refused to give him a name, even when he pleaded with her. She took that secret to her grave, and it has haunted him for years, forcing him to go for secret therapy sessions.

'Could it be that Matt was the bastard who abused her?' Senator Gregory felt a tsunami of rage swirl within him.

Muffled gossip began to spread like wildfire.

"This is the most absurd thing to say."

"How can he call Fiona of all people a whore."

"He's lying."

"But they never did get along. Fiona always hated him."

"Maybe that's why he's trying to taint her good name."

"Fiona is simply a saint and not like the senator who cheated on her with that shameless woman."

As the murmuring and disbelief amongst the family intensified, Matt decided to let the cat out of the bag.

"Have you ever stopped to wonder why your so cold, modest wife was quick to forgive you after she learned that you had an affair that led to another child? Haven't you heard the quote that guilt begets guilt? The answer has been staring right there in your face for all these years, but you were too stupid and blind to see the truth. You never know, maybe Amelia isn't even your daughter."

"Matt! That is enough. Get out of this place, you insane man." Uncle Moses yelled as the senator clicked his fingers in the air, signalling his security team to align and surround the family.

"You think your puppies scare me?" Matt cackled eerily like a deranged lunatic. "They don't one bit. Let me tell you a beautiful love and hate story about a pretty woman and a douchebag of a man."

"Matt, please stop." Lilian pleaded, seeing the fear in her children's eyes.

"Now you beg me?" Matt spared his wife a quick glance. "Don't worry, honey, I will get back to you in a bit." He returned his mocking gaze to his elder brother, who was restraining himself to hear what Matt had to say about his late wife.

Senator Gregory already knew he was lying about Amelia's paternity because he had already verified that, and they both knew who wasn't his daughter.

"Matt, please, don't do this." Nana Shawl's broken voice was barely above a whisper as she held onto her chest, her breath short and a bit raspy.

Sadly, no one heard her amid the heightened murmuring.

"Once upon a time..." Matt grinned devilishly, causing a hush to fall on everyone present.

"A certain young, beautiful woman deceived me and dumped me for my brother. She tried to buy me off, thinking I would let her off the hook so easily. I played along, acting the fool just to get my pound of flesh. On the eve of her supposed wedding, I came bearing a gift to my gullible brother. He drank like the fool that he was and invited his wife to his hotel room for a couple's party. But alas, when she got there, she found him looking completely drunk and snoring away on the bed."

Senator Gregory's body shook with fear and rage as memories of that very night played before his very eyes, confirming the authenticity of Matt's story.

"When the pretty damsel decided to stay by her future groom and keep him company while cleaning after his mess, I came to collect my pound of flesh." Matt continued his appalling and heart-wrenching story to the hearing of everyone present.

"I was the one who took Fiona's virginity right inside your hotel room, on your bed, while you lay there like a log of wood, snoring away thanks to the sleeping drug I fed you. You should have heard the way she screamed your name in pain while I thrusted deeply into that sweet honey pot over and over again." Matt drawled, hitting every tension point on his elder brother's nerve.

"No..." Nana Shawls let out a sharp gasp and lowered her head. She passed out without anyone realising it due to all of the chaos happening around them.

"I will kill you..." Senator Gregory screamed, charging forward like a wounded lion.

Matt, who had already anticipated his brother's attack, also launched forward to strike him first. But the senator's security aids got to him first, arresting both arms and restraining him while the senator unleashed devastating punches to his face.

"Stop this, both of you." Uncle Moses ran forward but was pushed to the ground before he could touch them.

Desmond also made an attempt to help out, but Pearl, who had been waiting for the right moment of distraction, cut him by the balls, pulling her hand close to herself.

Harriet was too busy trying to escort her children away from all the commotion that she didn't notice another woman's dirty hands on her husband's balls.

"We need to talk right now." Pearl snarled, her grip tightening around her lover's balls.

"Easy, Pearl.... You're going to crush my nuts, and people are watching." Desmond crouched, holding her for support as if someone had punched him in the stomach.

"I don't give a f*ck. I own you, and you must satisfy me first before that old hag." Pearl pecked him on the cheek before releasing him. "3:00 today at our usual place otherwise I will spill the beans."

Regina saw this as an opening to come between the fighting brothers while reaffirming her position as the legal wife of the senator and the bona fide mistress of her lover.

Big mistake.

"Honey, stop this. He's your brother." Regina came in between them, blocking Matt from receiving a fourth punch to the face.

"Fiona is dead," Regina shouted at her husband. "You don't have to fight with your brother over her. I'm here for..."

The senator didn't let her complete her words when he opened his fist and unleashed an ear-deafening slap across Regina's cheeks, sending her falling on Matt.

"Ahh..." Regina cried out, groaning in pain, while cupping her stinging cheek with one hand and holding Matt firmly with the other.

Matts struggled with the security men holding him while wondering why it was taking so long for his anticipated backup to arrive.

"Take this piece of shit out of my house this instant before I kill him with my bare hands." Senator Gregory bellowed, tears clouding his vision.

As those words left the senator's mouth, the guard holding Matt started to drag him away.

Lilian impulsively came forward to pacify and also beg her brother-in-law. But Regina maliciously pushed her aside, causing her to fall on the ground.

"Get away from my husband, you ugly elephant," Regina shouted at her.

"Mommy," Rosie screamed, running up to her mother, her sharp, innocent voice filling her father with the strength of a thousand men.

In one instant, Matt freed himself and charged towards Regina.

"Matt..."

Regina didn't get to finish her word before Matt dealt her two fiercer slaps, before he was restrained again.

"Ah..." Regina cried even harder, falling to the ground and holding both sides of her burning cheeks.

"The next time you touch my wife, I will kill you." Matt roared, fighting like a wounded lion until he was sedated with a tranquillizer and carried into one of the SUVs.

"Somebody help! Nana is no longer moving." One of the relatives screamed while assessing the old woman.
