FLASH MARRIAGE; CHARMED BY THE RUTHLESS BILLIONAIRE CEO-Chapter 215: Double Black Out

When Amelia's car drove into the Shawls mansion premises, she was partly thrilled and partly sad to see her father waiting patiently for her. He was already dressed for work except for his suit jacket and his tie.

Three bodyguards cladded in black well-tailored suits paired with white inner shirts and black shoes, were strategically positioned beside and behind the senator.

Amelia's shimmering eyes brimmed with love and warmth as she watched her father hurry over to her car when it came to a halt.

"Eugene, please wait inside the car. I won't be long." Amelia pleaded, patting him on the back of his left hand.

"Okay." Eugene nodded and Amelia alighted the car as her father opened the door.

"Dad...." Amelia threw herself into her father's arms, embracing him tenderly before pulling away to look into his worried eyes. "What email where you talking about?"

"Let's go inside, first." Senator Gregory said while checking out the young man who was seated inside the car and also staring at him.

Following her father's quizzical gaze, Amelia said, "That's Eugene, Blaze's cousin."

"Oh...hello Eugene." The senator briefly waved at him before escorting his daughter into the mansion.

"The boss is not going to like this." Pascal, who had driven the SUV alone, decided to update his boss about Amelia's unplanned visit and her current location through text message.

Inside the mansion sitting room, Amelia observed the way her father was scrutinizing her from one to two as if he was searching for something.

"Dad, what's wrong? Why are you staring at me like that?" Amelia asked while checking the flare part of her long-sleeved peplum top for any conspicuous stain.

"Amy, I know I can never take the place of your mother in your life. But you know you can trust me right?" Senator Gregory left his seat and came to sit beside his eldest daughter, taking her slightly cold hands into his.

"Of course, Dad. Why would you even ask me such a question?" Amelia pouted, not liking where this was going.

"Because I just found out something troubling and I need to confirm with you first before I know what to do next."

"What did you find out? Just tell me already. The suspense is killing me."

The Senator took in a deep breath before asking.

"Are you pregnant?"

"What?!" Amelia's eyes widened in horror as she pulled her hands away from her father, standing up abruptly. "Where did you get that information from? Who told you?"

"Hold that thought." The senator reached out for his iPad on the coffee table with shaky hands and unlocked it using his security pattern while Amelia watched him in horror, her widened eyes clouded with imminent tears.

The senator opened the picture sent to him first while beckoning on Amelia to sit down.

"Do you know this young man in the picture?"

Amelia slowly sat down, her entire body trembling as she squinted her eyes to ascertain who the man in the picture was.

"That's Henry," Amelia replied, recognizing him immediately in his disguise mood.

"Who is Henry?" The senator's panic intensified, scaring the shit out of Amelia.

"He is Blaze's best friend. B....but...h...how did you get this picture." Amelia stuttered, her breathing becoming laboured by the second.

The Senator knew he wasn't handling the situation properly, seeing the way his daughter was now hyperventilating with guilt boldly written on her forehead. He tried to calm her down first but unfortunately, Amelia was the complete opposite of calm as she demanded in a slightly raised voice, rising to her feet the second time.

"Just answer my question, Dad, and stop treating me like a child. How did you know that I am pregnant and where did you get this picture from?"

"One Jack_123 sent this to my email last night, alongside this audio recording." The senator swiped to the next file and tapped play before looking up to his daughter.

As Amelia heard Dr Ashely's unmistakable voice reverberate in the silence that prevailed, informing her that she was pregnant, alongside her own alarmed voice saying, no, her already pale face turned ashen white and her vision instantly blacked out.

"Amy!" The senator jumped on his feet just in time to catch his daughter as she slumped into his arms, losing consciousness.

Meanwhile, back at Anderson's residence, Maria, who had managed to take her bath amid a head-splitting migraine and an unbearable ache in her chest, slowly changed into a simple gown before trudging back to her bed and sitting down. She picked up her phone and dialed her son's number, tears streaming down her flushed face. She waited as it rang, but sadly, he didn't take his call.

She could feel the entire room spinning as she reached out to take her blood pressure drug and a glass of water which was on the nightstand.

Suddenly, a strange force knocked out the air from her lungs, squeezing her heart in the process. She gasped for air, letting go of the glass of water and the sachet of her blood pressure drug in the process.

The glass of water hit the marble floor with a loud shattering sound, spilling its contents, as shards of glass flew in different directions, some of them cutting into Maria's bare feet.

Luckily for Maria, a maid had just come to her room to inform her that breakfast was ready when she heard the shattering sound.

"Ma'am, are you alright?" The maid called from behind Maria's closed bedroom door.

Maria, who at this point was struggling to breathe, one of her hands clutching at her chest managed to dial her son's number again, tears of horror and despair flowing down her reddened cheek. She fell back on her bed, still clutching her chest while struggling to say a word as the line finally connected.

"Mom... Are you there? Speak to me." Blaze said in a calm but slightly impatient voice from the other end.

"Ma'am!" The maid knocked repeatedly on the door and decided to go in and find out what was wrong with the madam.

"Oh god! madam!" The maid sprinted over to Maria's bed screaming.

Maria, thinking this was the end pointed towards a folded piece of paper beside a small portable camera on the nightstand.

But the maid was too preoccupied screaming for help, barely noticing what Maria was pointing to. She carefully lifted Maria's bleeding leg from the broken glass on the floor, while shouting for help.

Completely exhausted, Maria's hand fell on the bed as she slowly closed her eyes, giving into the darkness.

"Somebody talk to me! Mom!" Blaze screamed from the other end, his initial calm voice now laced with panic.

The terrified maid picked up Maria's phone, crying.

"Sir, the madam has passed out and her leg is bleeding." She had barely completed her statement when the call disconnected.
