Demon CEO's Hidden Love: Mr Grayson Stole Me From My Abusive Husband-Chapter 138: A Scandalous Allegation

Matthew woke up to a splitting headache and a memory gap. He vaguely recalled getting wasted at his favourite club, but couldn’t remember much of what happened afterwards.

Staggering towards the stable’s exit, he collided into Mallory, who came rushing in, wearing a worried look on her face.

"Where is it?" She demanded first thing in the morning.

"What the hell are you doing here?" Matthew retorted, scratching the back of his head.

"My pendant! It was in the book! It isn’t there anymore!" She alerted him.

Matthew clicked his tongue, "Calm down, it’s way too early for all this shouting-"

"My grandfather gave me that! It’s very special to me!" She cried out, "Did you see it?" She kept asking, leaving Matthew flustered.

He ran his fingers through his hair, trying to figure out what pendant she was talking about. It took him roughly about a minute to recall the image of the trinket she was ’moaning’ about.

"Yeah, I’ve seen it."

She sighed in relief, "Where is it? I need it back."

Still reeling from his headache he answered wryly, "I put it back in the damned book." He looked at the heart broken look on Mallory’s face and groaned. "I’ll check on my mind, maybe it fell somewhere."

Mallory’s frown flattened, in a calmer tone she said, "Thank you."

"Now that that’s settled, care to explain to me why the hell I’m at a stable?" He asked, driving the conversation back to the issue at hand.

"You don’t remember anything at all from last night?" She questioned.

"If I did, I wouldn’t have asked you, now would I?" He snapped at her.

She rolled her eyes, "You’re insufferable, you know that?"

Right as he was about to answer, a voice called for her, "Mallory! Mallory!" Vance called out to her.

"Hide!" She whispered loudly, then pushed him into the stable. She quickly straightened her clothes and went out to meet her cousin halfway.

Though puzzled, Matthew went into one of the stables and his behind a horse and some hay. Hardly some minutes after he hid, he heard voices and footsteps approaching.

"Vance, I said no one else was in there!" Mallory’s voice sounded, as Vance angrily marched into the stables.

"I don’t believe that! The servants reported seeing you come here with a blanket-" he trailed his gaze until it landed on the blanket sprawled across a stack of hay.

He marched furiously to the blanket and held it up, "What the hell is this?!" He raised it to his nose, "It reeks of liquor."

Matthew inwardly cursed himself for leaving the blanket behind. He peeked at Mallory, who looked completely frightened.

"Unless you’ve cultivated a drinking habit, I’d say you snuck a man in here!" He accused. "I wonder what your mother would say if she find out about this."

She rushed over to him and snatched the blanket out of his hands, "There’s no one in here. There was a wine accident and the maids weren’t able to get the smell out of it."

Vance looked around, at the trail of hay that led to one of the horse’s stables. A grin planted itself on his face.

"You lying bitch! I guess I have to discipline you!" He raised his voice!

*Slap!*

At the sound of a slap, Matthew ran out of the stable and hid Mallory behind him. He curled his fingers into a tight fist and landed a blow to his gut.

"Matthew stop! I’m okay!"

"Bastard! How dare you hit her?!" Matthew raged against him, throwing more blows, ignoring Mallory’s calls.

"Hey! Stop that! Now!"

"Get away from the young master!"

Mallory traced the voices to the security guards at her villa. In seconds, they rushed over to the scene and separated the two, though not without incuring a few bruises themselves.

"Let me go! I’m going to beat some common sense into that head of yours!" Matthew raged, as he was held back.

Upon hearing the commotion, Godfrey and Amanda arrived at the scene, horrified at the scene before their eyes.

"Vance! What happened to you?!" Amanda cried, rushing to his side. She cupped his face in her palms, on the verge of tears.

"It was him, he just attacked me out of nowhere." Vance said, pointing at Matthew.

Amanda looked over to Matthew, who didn’t look to have had enough.

"Matthew? What are you doing here?!" She demanded.

Mallory quickly inserted, "I was the one who let him in. He came to return something to me-" she was saying, but Godfrey interrupted her.

"To return something?! Is assaulting your cousin your definition of returning something?!" He raged against her.

She shrank back in fear. "I’m sorry-"

Matthew shook the security off, "That bastard slapped your daughter!" He shouted.

"Slapped? I would never hit her." Vance raised his voice.

Matthew grabbed Mallory by the wrist, despite her being unwilling, "Look at her face-" he was saying, only to see her face was perfectly in tact.

"What?" He gasped, surprised.

Vance grinned inwardly, he touched the red swelling on his face from slapping himself, "He attacked me when I came in here!"

Godfrey glared sharply at Matthew, "Why the hell were you here?!" He demanded. freewebnσvel.cøm

Matthew tried to answer, but Vance beat him to it. "He didn’t just come here, he spent the night here, and not alone. You see, my cousin here, spent the entire night alone at the stables with this bastard!"

Amanda’s eyes widened, "What?! Mallory is this true?"

Mallory shook her head, "No! I would never! You can ask the maids-"

Vance cut her off, "Liar! Look at the blanket she’s holding, look at the state of this place. Not to mention I caught her coming out of here some moments ago." He said, instigating her parent’s anger.

Matthew swiftly intervened, "I didn’t fuck your daughter-" but before he could finish speaking, Godfrey balled his fist and sent a tight punch to his face!

"You bastard!" He yelled in a loud voice, "How dare you?!"

Mallory stood in front of Matthew, blocking him from her father’s assault and stopping him from attacking her father.

Amanda sneered, "Look at that! You’ve become quite hold after turning into a whore! Haven’t you?!"

Mallory ignored her and turned to her father, "I didn’t do anything with him. He returned the book I was looking for, and spent the night because he was drunk. That’s all-"

"Yes, because the infamous fuck boy would do something so endearing?" Vance laughed, he turned to his uncle and aunt, and passed them a quick look, one that Mallory nor Matthew noticed.

"Or, are you saying that you did not consent to this?" He asked all of a sudden.

Mallory frowned, "What? No! Nothing happened-"

Quickly on the uptake, her mother announced, "You brute! How dare you come into our home and do this to our daughter?!" She cried.

Godfrey went along, "Just because she’s timid doesn’t mean you can treat her this way! Vance! Call up the Grayson house immediately! And tell them about how this bastard snuck in here..." he took a pause, and cast his glance at a confused Matthew and Mallory.

"And forced himself on my daughter!"
