FLASH MARRIAGE; CHARMED BY THE RUTHLESS BILLIONAIRE CEO-Chapter 322: Unrepentant Sisters
"Aww...so sweet of him." Gwen moistened her dry lips, wishing Tyler were here beside her. She didn’t like the fact that he had to leave for work after spending such a memorable first night with her.
Nevertheless, she was grateful that she got to ride in his private chopper back home like his official girlfriend or maybe wife in a few months if she played her cards right.
Feeling fatigued all over and a throbbing pain shooting up her core, Gwen thought about staying in bed a little bit longer. Then she recalled that her mother would be released from prison today at 10:00 AM.
"Shit!" Gwen tried to sit up on the bed, but the pain that radiated from her core felt as though she had been ravaged by half a dozen men.
"Ouch..." She winced in pain as she rolled out of the bed, pulling the sheet away from her nude body while examining herself thoroughly.
Her eyes widened in shock at the number of hickey trailing from her neck to her thigh region.
"My goodness! Did Tyler do all of this?" Gwen was slightly alarmed. She didn’t take Tyler for a sex maniac. He must have really been sex starved.
The sight of an empty bottle of champagne and wine glasses, alongside six... no seven used condoms on the floor, made Gwen exclaim.
She had no memory of what happened last night, which made it more awkward.
"I must have been very drunk." Gwen pushed herself up to a standing position. She made her way to the bathroom with difficulty, avoiding the mess on the floor.
It took Gwen more than an hour to soak herself in a warm bath before thoroughly cleaning her body.
After getting dressed, in the only change of clothes she found in the wardrobe, she made a call for breakfast and room service.
But the polite reply of the hotel staff at the reception desk pissed Gwen off.
"What do you mean? I asked for breakfast and not lunch. How can you even talk about lunch when it’s still morning?"
"I’m very sorry, ma’am. But I’m afraid it’s past 1:00 PM."
"1:00 PM!" Gwen screamed into the phone, her eyes widening in alarm.
"Yes..." Gwen dropped the receiver before the receptionist could conclude her statement. She dashed over to the other bedside table, retrieving her phone from her clutch.
"Oh God..." She brought out her phone with trembling hands, her bulging eyes almost popping out of the socket when she realised that it was already afternoon.
Worst of all, she had more than thirty missed calls on her phone; some from her father, Harriet, her grandmother, Tyler, and Nora.
"F*ck!" Gwen hurriedly gathered her stuff and dashed out of the penthouse, dialling her father’s number while cursing under her breath.

At exactly 10:00 AM, the senator and his security entourage arrived outside the State’s female correctional facility where Regina and Pearl were been held.
His face was void of expression as he waited patiently in his car, tapping away on his laptop.
He had already spoken to the chief warden of the facility to send both women out, as he had no plans of receiving them in person or even seeing their faces.
His buzzing phone made him temporarily peel his gaze away from the laptop. fгeewёbnoѵel.cσm
The crease on his forehead quickly disappeared at the sight of the caller’s name flashing on his phone screen.
Swiping the receive button to the left, he said in a soft voice, "Hello, princess."
"Hi, Dad. Are you there now?"
"Yes, dear." Senator Gregory released a sigh. "We just arrived a few minutes ago. I can’t wait to get over with this."
"Don’t worry, it will be over before you know it." Amelia’s soothing tone made the senator smile.
"Thanks, my dear."
"What about Uncle Matt and Desmond?"
"Their flight will be arriving at 11:00 AM. I’ll make my way to the airport once Regina and Pearl have been picked up."
"Okay. Remember what we discussed earlier about Gwen’s last visit.".
"Yes." He nodded slowly, clenching his jaw.
"You are being watched and followed as we speak."
"I know."
"Good. Do not bother coming out of your car to receive your brothers at the airport or Regina and Pearl at the prison. Let your security guards handle everything while you observe from your car."
"Alright, dear." The senator nodded, beaming at the way Amelia was so security-conscious about everything concerning him.
"Let me know when you are back home."
"I will."
The call disconnected, and a deep sigh escaped the senator’s lips.

A blend of anticipation and excitement washed over Regina and Pearl as they received their personal belongings from the designated receiving office.
"You girl should stay away from trouble. Otherwise, you might find yourself back here very soon." The female prison staff warned in a friendly tone as they both took turns signing their release papers.
"We will, officer." Pearl smiled, thrilled to finally regain her freedom.
Regina scoffed under her breath, disgusted by the officer’s threat. She forced a smile on her tired face and pushed Pearl forward, eager to get far away from this hellhole.
The air around both women crackled with a sense of hope and tension as they emerged from the prison main building.
The brightness of the sun made both women squint. A mixture of emotions, from relief and joy to a sense of vulnerability and apprehension, could be seen in their eyes and demeanour.
Upfront, beyond the high-voltage prison electric fence, both women could see a display of sleek black cars waiting to pick them up.
Some military-like bodyguards dressed in black suits were waiting outside some of the cars. But there was no sight of the senator or Gwen.
"Where is Gwen?" Regina craned her neck, eager to see her daughter.
"She’s probably inside one of the cars," Pearl replied.
"I thought you’d be outside waiting for us." A frown etched across Regina’s forehead in disappointment.
"Maybe she’s ashamed of receiving her mother and Aunt from prison." Pearl chuckled bitterly.
"Don’t be ridiculous! We are all in the same boat."
