Vengeful Couple.

CHAPTER EIGHT.

"She had two children, Amy and Ryan, Ryan is in Australia, he's a chef who comes home occasionally. They are the only existing family i have." she continued eating.

"You said 'was', Aunt Emily 'was' your dad's only sister."

"Aunt Emily is late, she died years ago of cancer. My dad raised Amy and Ryan after that." She looked at me and added, "I've said more than necessary. So tell me, any siblings?"

I was surprised she was interested to know about me, "No, i'm an only child."

"Right. I need to return to the lab."

"You still have fifteen minutes before your lunch break is over. We still have something to talk about...."

"I haven't been able to draft up my rules yet, i will hand it over tomorrow at dinner."

"Good."

"So what else do you want to talk about?" she asked, she seemed impatient and it was obvious because she was always checking the time.

"Ain't you curious to know anything about me? Are you not curious to know if what they say in the papers are true?"

She studied me, her eyes roamed my body; "No, i do not care about what the blogs say. I will not be sticking around long enough to experience that even if it were to be true, and we don't really need to be friends for this to work."

"Yes, we do. My daughter will be living with us and i do not want strange energy around her. So we are going to be friends to be able to live with each other."

She sighed, then crossed her legs; "Fine, anything else?"

"You will not entertain male guests while living in my house, You will allow me act like the gentleman that i am....."

"You keep saying that like you're trying to reassure yourself." This lady clearly has a smart mouth.

"You will allow me open doors for you, buy you gifts and flowers, kiss or peck you in public....."

"What?!"

"Yes, you will attend business meetings and dinners with me if there be a need for a plus one. You will take trips with me and Aaliyah, family get togethers...."

"You said you don't have families...."

"I said i don't have siblings, and stop interrupting me. You will be more involved in this fake marriage thing, don't be selfish about it."

"What do you mean 'more involved'? We only get to display this 'thing' in public, at home, we live different lives. And since we're stating rules, i can state a few of mine: We will have separate rooms. You will not interfere in my business and i won't interfere in yours. No feelings attached or any form of intimacy. I will go out at will and return at will....."

"No."

"What?"

"I said no, you're married in the face of society and you are to act like it. No philandering."

"I meant outings, lunch, dinner with friends or family, business meetings and dinners."

"Oh, good." I was just making sure. "Lastly, i don't get involved in your personal life, you don't get involved in mine. You may get to see more when i bring the blueprint over."

"I'm okay with the ones you've said so far." Good, see you soon miss bennett." i said as i stood up and left.

Lunch was a success, Audrey seemed a lot more relaxed with me today, unlike our first date. We could go ahead with the wedding which will be at the court.

"Brian, call judge morris."

"Yes boss." he responded and a second later, the phone rang.

"Mr Sullivan"

"Judge Morris, what's going on?"

"The court will like to see your bride Mason. When are you both having this wedding?"

"In two days."

"Good, i will begin the paperwork then."

"Thank you Morris."

"Don't thank me yet, just show up with her. And you better not be fooling the court, else you know the penalty for perjury?"

"I know." he hung up.

I could feel brian stealing glances. "Spit it out."

"Boss, are you certain she can do this? Shouldn't you just tell her? She might blow this up if she finds out."

"She cares less of what i do, she's just obsessed with ruining her ex. She won't find out."

Audrey didn't care about all this either, all she wanted was access to her inheritance, so she could take revenge on Enzo Peterson. He really did a number on her, but she needed to play a major role in this union and since she wasn't interested to know more, i can as well use her to get what i want.

My phone rang, i rolled my eyes when i saw the caller's I.D; "Dianne." I said coldly.

"It's me daddy." I heard Aaliyah say, my face lit up.

"Hello princess."

"Hello daddy."

"You sound weird and you should be in school."

"I'm not feeling well, daddy."

"What? What is wrong with you princess?"

"I don't know, i have a hot temperature but mommy gave me a pill and said i will be fine."

"You haven't seen a doctor?"

"No daddy, i don't feel so good."

"Where is your mom?"

"Mommy is in the bedroom with a stranger."

I clenched my feet so hard, my knuckles turned white; "Daddy, Daddy are you still there?"

"Yes honey, I'm still here."

"Dad are you coming to see me? I miss you."

"I'm on my way, don't tell your mother." I hung up. "To Dianne's." i said to brian.

As soon as i got there, i jumped out of the car and rushed into the house, i ran upstairs to Aaliyah. She had a running temperature, dianne was still having fun and didn't notice my presence in the house. So i rushed Aaliyah to the doctor, she was weak and light like she hadn't been fed. I sent Brian upstairs to get the evidence i needed to destroy that b***h, she had overdone it this time and i wasn't going to spare her.
