Vengeful Couple.

CHAPTER SIXTEEN

Audrey's P.O.V

Amy looked at me in shock, she had never seen me this pitched, the store attendant moved and we walked in.

"What was that about?" Amy asked

"I'm tired of people always doing that to me. Girls at college, enzo, dianne white and now this rude lady."

"Hold up, did you just say dianne white?"

"Yes."

"How?"

I sighed, "She was at the house this morning, probably to see her daughter. She looked at me like i'm nothing and called me a cheap whore."

"What? Is she jealous?"

"I care less if she is."

"You should care more, she might still be in love with mason and would want him back."

"Why would she want someone she claims abuse her physically and is an irresponsible father?"

"Love can blind people."

I shrugged my shoulders, "Well, i don't care. She can have him back after six months."

"Really?" Amy asked with a weird expression on her face.

"Yeah." i ignored it, "Let's shop, i still need to pick new set of shoes and jewelries. Also go to the salon to fix my hair, I'm going to work on monday."

"Is your honeymoon over?"

I scoffed, "Please."

After we finished with the clothes, we stopped by the shoe section and the last section, the jewelries. We went to the counter and the store attendant who was rude to us a moment ago was dumbfounded when i pulled out my black card. Though it wasn't premium, but it has enough to cover the bills and still leave me rich enough to sue her ass if i wanted too.

"I'm sorry about earlier ma'am, i was just following the store's policy."

Amy and I ignored her baseless apology and left the store with lots of bags. Dumping them at the back sit of the car, we got in and went to the salon to get our hair done.

"So what are the condition?"

"What?"

"You told me he pleaded with you to pretend to care in front of his daughter, and you accepted on two conditions, what are they?"

"I haven't thought about it yet, i wanted to leave the card open until when i needed it."

"Since when did you get so corny? Don't try to use his daughter for your own selfish reasons."

"I'm not using his daughter, I'm only using the opportunity he gave me."

"He gave you that opportunity, because of his daughter."

"Not my problem."

"Dre!"

"What?" i chuckled, "Come on, no one is getting murdered."

"Someone will definitely get hurt. You've changed so much, you were never this careless and...and..."

"Heartless?"

"Cold." Amy said. I looked briefly at her, she had this dissatisfaction in her face and call me heartless but it didn't bother me.

Mason's P.O.V

There was a heated argument between dianne and i after audrey left, i had agatha take Aaliyah to her room. Dianne made threats about taking Aaliyah by any means necessary, i knew what she was capable of doing so i asked brian to hire someone who would keep an eye on her.

My phone kept beeping from time to time, i finally checked it after dianne left and i found out they were notifications of GPS locations and messages of recordings.

"Which car did audrey take?" i asked

"The black BMW boss." he responded.

I smiled, that was the car dianne used anytime she frequents a particular location and does not want to be recognized. I had to install a GPS device to monitor every movement she made, and planted a recorder to know what she was up to. Audrey probably took the car because it was the smallest among them, i ignored the notifications, uninterested to know where she's been or the gossip she might be having with her cousin.

At twelve pm, agatha called for lunch, i didn't want to but grandma insisted i come down for lunch. Aaliyah was already eating when i arrived;

"Daddy, where is aunt audrey?" she asked

"She went shopping princess."

"But she's been out for hours now. Will she come back?"

"Of course, she'll be back soon." i said. Grandma was unusually quiet, i know she refrained from speaking because Aaliyah was present, she just chewed on her food slowly. "It's good to see you're getting better, grandma." i said

"Mmmm." she said.

"Great grandma, are you sick?" Aaliyah asked, she was always very inquisitive ever since she could talk.

"I was my child, but am okay now." grandma smiled at her.

"Okay, i do not want you to go to grandma and grandpa just yet." Aaliyah said, grandma and I were both shocked.

"Why?" i asked

"You said grandma and grandpa went to heaven, mommy said you lied. She said they went to hell and they were never coming back because they did bad things and they deserved to be there, so does you and great grandma."

"...!"

"...!"

One could see the smoke coming out from my nose and ears, i clenched my fist hard and gritted my teeth so hard i could break them. Just at that moment audrey walked right in, from the way she stared with her eyes wide open and mouth agape, i could tell she heard every word Aaliyah said.

"Why are you just coming in? Didn't i ask you to be home early? Why do women never listen?!"

"Mason." grandma called

I ignored her and continued to take out my anger on audrey, "You choose to do whatever suits you, regardless of how anyone feels!"

"Mason!" grandma yelled, slamming the table. I looked at the shock on audrey's face, i looked away and headed upstairs, not before i heard grandma saying. "Pay no attention to him audrey, Go freshen up and come have lunch."

"I'll be right back, agatha please get someone to bring my things from the car." she said.

"Yes ma'am."

Audrey followed me immediately, i got into the bedroom and she walked in right behind me, she opened her mouth to say something but i beat her to it;

"I didn't mean to yell at you, i shouldn't have"

"I don't care mason, just go talk to your daughter." how could i have forgotten she was still there. Audrey walked pass me to her room to go drop the bags she was holding, i got a good view of her body, she looked different from how she left home.

She came back out a few minutes later, all changed up;

"You looked beautiful in that dress, why change it?"

"What are you waiting for?"

"You, so we'll go down together. I wouldn't want Aaliyah to think we're arguing, just like dianne and i always were."

She sighed and said; "Alright."

We went out together, i was surprised she wasn't mad at me for yelling at her, or throwing a fit just like dianne would whenever i yelled at her. We arrived at the table, grandma and Aaliyah was still sitting;

"I'm sorry aunt audrey, Daddy yelled at you because of me." Aaliyah said

"It's not your fault, your daddy is upset about something else." audrey sat down beside me, opposite Aaliyah.

"Because of what i said."

"No." Audrey said, she was served her lunch.

"Then why is he upset?" i wanted to stop Aaliyah from asking more questions when audrey replied.

"Aaliyah, your grandma and grandpa are in a good place, and in that place, good or bad things doesn't exist there because they're forgotten, no one remembers it, okay?"

"Okay, so Daddy didn't lie?"

"No." she sipped her glass of wine.

"Did mommy lie?"

"She didn't either, great grandma and your daddy deserve to go to good places too, but only when they're old and wrinkle."

"Grandma and grandpa went to a good place together. Will you and daddy go to a good place when you're both old and wrinkle?"

Audrey choked on her food and began to cough, i offered her a glass of water to drink.

"Aaliyah, it's enough, now, eat your food." i said, grandma was smiling. I haven't seen her smile for three years, but she was smiling now? Looking at the frowning audrey and my cheerful daughter, i realized ever since they came into the house, she was responding well to treatment. If i had known this was the case, i would have done this a long time ago.

After lunch, Aaliyah went off to play, grandma went to take a nap, while audrey and i returned to our rooms to do whatever. She probably wanted to sort in the things she got on her shopping spree, i needed to return the call i missed from judge morris.

"I've been calling." he said once he picked up the call.

"I was having lunch with my family."

"That is nice, the routine check up is in two days."

"What? it's supposed to be next week."

"Your ex-wife called to report that your marriage was staged."

"Dianne..."

"I called to let you know, get yourselves ready."
