FLASH MARRIAGE; CHARMED BY THE RUTHLESS BILLIONAIRE CEO - Chapter 107

Chapter 107: Humiliating Her Father

“Who did this to you?” Blaze asked between clenched teeth.

Amelia steeled her breath as she leaned backwards to look into Blaze’s darkened eyes which emitted different shades of grey and black. The was something eerie and lethal about his gaze. It spoke volumes of the menace he was about to release at the mention of a name.

Yet in those dark orbits, was a genuine quest to possess, and protect, sparking up a flare in her shimmering eyes. It warmed Amelia’s crumbled heart and at the same time filled her with dread. Dread for what he would do if she confessed it was her father, who had slapped her.

Amelia recalled that Blaze hated her father. She knew he wouldn’t hesitate to teach him a lesson just to get back at him for the death of his father. She couldn’t let that happen. Even though her father had made a mistake by hitting her, she couldn’t bear any harm coming to him. He meant the entire world to her. She knew once the truth had been made known to him, he would amend his ways and cut every tie with Regina and Gwen.

“Amy…” Blaze’s chilly but softened voice broke through her haze of thoughts. “Tell me, who amongst these wretch dare to lay a finger on you.” He softly stroked her trembling lips which bore a tiny cut by the side.

“I slapped her.” Senator Gregory, croaked out, finally finding his voice. This was his home and he would not allow this young man, -who had shaken hands with the devil – to come into his home and threaten his family, after torturing his younger daughter and son-in-law a few days back.

“You did what!” Blaze spun around, fist balled and eyes blazing with fury. But before he could execute his deadly desire, Amelia swiftly came between him and her slightly trembling father.

Other members of the Shawl family held their breath, cowering in fear at the thought of Amelia’s husband battering the senator to a pulp. But the fearless senator challenged the devil boldly, causing the explosive tension in the air to quadruple.

“Blaze, please, he is my father. Just let it go.” Amelia pleaded passionately.

“And that gives him the right to lay his filthy hands on my wife,” Blaze asked between clenched teeth.

Amelia didn’t like the fact that Blaze had referred to her father’s hand as filthy. But this was not the right time to chastise him.

“No…” She shook her head, tilting her head backwards to look at her furious father. “It doesn’t give him any right to hit me.”

“And what makes you think you can go behind my back and marry the same man I told you to stay away from?” Senator Gregory angrily lashed out at Amelia, standing his ground as her father. He was more infuriated to see her protecting a mannerless man who was about to beat him up.

Amelia could feel Blaze’s muscles stiffening behind her as she replied to her father’s words.

“Would you rather I stay married to a worthless jerk who has been sleeping with his disgusting whore behind my back while pretending to love me all because he wanted my money?”

Both Gwen and Jerry’s jaws dropped at Amelia’s insults. But none of them were bold enough to challenge her in the presence of their nemesis.

However, Regina couldn’t stand Amelia calling her pregnant daughter a whore in front of everyone.

“Amelia, how dare…” The words caught in Regina’s throat when Blaze flashed her a spine-chilling glare.

“Amelia, that is enough. I will not have you insult your sister or threaten any member of my family with that man. He is not welcome in this house and I want him to leave right now.” Senator Gregory pointed his trembling forefinger to the door.

Blaze reverted his lethal gaze to Gregory, taking two steps closer to his prey with the thought of snapping the mature man’s neck.

“Or you will do what? Call you little girls scout which my men have already taken care of on my way in here?”

“Ah!” Regina cupped her mouth with both hands, finally understanding why none of the security men had come to their rescue.

“Blaze. Please…” Amelia held on to both his hands while holding his gaze pleadingly.

“Leave, my house.” Senator Gregory’s voice quivered with rage.

“Please, my love, let’s just go.” Amelia didn’t know why she had called him that. But it felt right at the moment as she lifted one of her hands to stroke his cold cheeks, forcing his gaze away from her father to hers. “Please.”

Blaze heart stirred with unexplainable emotions as he stared into those beautiful moist eyes, seeing her desperation to protect her father at all costs. It reminded him of how he had been desperate all those years back to save his father’s life before the latter gave up the ghost. He wanted to punish her. He wanted to watch her break as he squeezed the life out of her father. But most importantly, he wanted to please her, kiss her and make her the happiest woman alive.

Taking a deep breath to sate his demons, he pulled her chin up and kissed her passionately in front of her father, irking the senator even more.

“Get out of my house!” Senator Gregory body shook with rage. He felt powerless and defenceless before this young devil who had taken his most prized possession.

Blaze leisurely parted lips with Amelia, a wicked smirk dancing at the corner of his lips as he looked up at the senator.

“Because my wife has begged me, I will leave with her right after you apologize to her.”

Amelia was left in a daze. She had willingly allowed him to humiliate her father by kissing her in front of the old man just to calm his vicious demons. But asking the senator to beg would be like watching the sun at high intensity.

If there was one thing Amelia knew about her father, it was his ego especially when it was being trampled upon. Her father would never beg until something drastic was done.

“Blaze…”

“That is my only condition, wifey. Either he begs you or I shoot someone in the head.” Blaze said signalling one of the men standing at the entrance to the terrace.

The man in question with a gothic tattoo on the back of his hand, slowly brought out a gun and leisurely fixed the silencer while everyone gathered at the terrace watched, eyes widened and filled with complete horror.
