Mason's P.O.V
I was amazed by this woman, she had a condition she hadn't even thought about? I mean, who actually does that? But i opened the window for this, so i was going to have to do whatever she wanted, all for the sake of Aaliyah.
At about one-thirty am, i heard Audrey's voice coming from her room, i wanted to ignore it but it sounded troubled. I walked over to know what was going on, opening the door to her room, she was having a nightmare, she was shaking and kept saying;
"No...stop...No, please...stop it."
I didn't know what to do, so i sat beside her and stroked her hair, "Shhh, it's okay, you're okay." i said, it seemed to calm her down because she stopped trembling. I returned to my room after she was calm and had returned to sleep, i didn't know what her nightmare was about, but i didn't like it.
It was a saturday morning, i woke up at nine am, i never sleep in this late, i stood up and checked on audrey but she wasn't in her room.
"At least, one of us was up early."
I went into the bathroom to freshen up, i returned six minutes later to see my phone ringing, the caller made me frown;
"What?"
"Get down here mason!"
"You're here?"
"See for yourself."
"f**k!" i yelled, i didn't need this now. How do i get rid of this woman for good? All dressed up, i hurried downstairs to see Dianne pacing impatiently.
"What are you doing here? The rule says you must call first." i said
"You must have succeeded in taking Aaliyah away from me! But i will get her back mason!" Dianne yelled for the entire household to hear.
"Stop yelling, why are you here?" i asked the deranged woman.
"I want to see my daughter, i want to see Aaliyah!"
I sighed and pinched the bridge of my nose, dianne was hard to deal with; "Agatha get Aaliyah."
"Yes sir."
I sat down on the sofa and crossed my legs, "Sit down Dianne."
She hesitated but sat down anyways, the butler opened the door and audrey walked in. She was wearing her workout clothes, she had a towel on her left shoulder and airpods plugged into her ears. She turned to glance at me but what or rather, who got her attention was Dianne. She took out the airpods as she approached us;
"Good morning mason." she said, still staring at Dianne.
"Good morning gummy bear." i replied, "Honey, this is dianne, my ex-wife."
"Nice to meet you Dianne."
"Well i can't say same." Dianne scoffed, she turned to me. "So this was the lowlife you paid to marry you so you could take Aaliyah away from me?"
"Shut up Dianne, Don't speak to her in such a manner. I can throw you out without seeing Aaliyah, one more word."
"I'll go freshen up." Audrey said.
"Cheap w***e!" Dianne cursed
"Dianne!" i yelled.
Audrey turned around, she stared hard at dianne, and with so much restraint, she went upstairs.
Audrey's P.O.V
I had the nightmare again, this time i heard a voice coaxing me back to sleep, i tried to place who it belonged to but i couldn't. It was soft and calm, waking up i could still hear the voice in my head, i put on my gym outfit and went for a run to clear my head. Only for me to return and meet the 'Dianne White', ex-wife of mason. I tried to be nice, but she threw it back in my face, that is what being nice had always given me, a goddamn slap in the face.
I got into the bathroom to take a shower, then got dressed to go shopping as i had planned. Walking down the stairs, i saw dianne talking to her daughter, but the little chatterbox didn't seem happy to see her.
"I'm going out." i said to mason as i approached him. "I'm going shopping." i added when he raised his face to look at me.
"Brian will take you."
"No, i ordered a taxi since my car isn't here."
"You still need Brian, i bet you're buying a lot of things." he had a 'I know it' expression on his face. Dianne was paying close attention to us, so i couldn't ask if he knows about my inheritance.
"Amy is coming with me." i said and tried to walk away, he held my hand and i turned, he stood up to stand in front of me, then he leaned in. "What are you trying to do?" i whispered as he inched closer.
"Just go with me." he said as he placed a light kiss on my cheek. "Have fun gummy bear, be home on time, i don't want to miss you much." he said that part out loud.
I forced a smile and replied, "I will be home soon."
"Brian!"
"Yes boss."
"Give her the keys to any car she wants."
"Sure boss."
Then he turned to me, "Pick a car you want, my regards to your cousin."
I just smiled and nodded, i could see dianne fuming in anger, she was ready to rip me apart if given the chance. I hurried out of the mansion before any more drama would unfold, i followed brian to the garage and i picked the black BMW, it was the smallest among Mason's fleets.
Taking the key from brian, i got in and drove out, i called Amy and she asked that i pick her up from work, so i drove straight to the hospital.
"Where are you?"
"Right here." i said as i pulled up in front of her.
She got in and said; "Wow, living like a billionaire's wife already?"
"Don't be silly, i asked you to please bring my car."
"And I've been busy, besides, you don't need it. I do"
"What?"
"Yeah, my car is always having bad days and yours is nothing compared to what your husband has."
"Amy!"
"Hahahahaha, sorry dre."
"Bennett's Empire might not be a big company but it makes the best perfumes and anti-perspirants you can find in Los Angeles and that made us important too. 'Mason Sullivan' is just fortunate to have his family's wealth that has been their legacy for generations, my parents built bennett's empire from nothing!"
"Easy Dre, i'm sorry if i spooked the horse." She said.
I stopped the car and took a deep breath, "I'm sorry Amy, i couldn't control my temper."
"It's alright." she looked at me, "Are you okay though?"
"I had the dream again."
"Oh my, are you alright? Did mason know?"
"I don't know, i didn't scream this time, i heard a voice coaxing me back to sleep."
"Who would that be? Could it be him?"
"I don't know and i can't ask."
"Why?"
"Then i'll have to tell him what my dream was about, i'll have to tell that i can't get the constant abuse enzo inflicted on me out of my head, how he constantly forced himself on me. I...i can't..i..."
"No, don't cry, come here." Amy pulled me towards her and stroke my hair, "Fine do not ask him, if taking revenge on enzo will get you the peace you deserve, then i won't bother you about it anymore." I nodded, hugged her and wiped my eyes.
"Now let's go get you pimped up." She said.
"Alright." i started the car and drove to our destination. We arrived at the store where we're to shop, Amy and i didn't waste anytime as she was to return to work afterwards.
"Try this on, it's beautiful." Amy said holding a short, long sleeve shealth bodycon dress, it had an opening at the upper back, i took it and went into the dressing room.
"I love it." i said when i came out, it felt comfortable and classy.
"Don't take that off."
"Why?"
"Because i said so." i smiled and shook my head, looking at myself in the mirror, i loved how i look, like a baddie. A slick hairdo and the right shoe, i would look like a bossy baddie, that gave me an idea of the kind of clothes i should be shopping for.
"I know what we should shop for." i said.
"What?"
"I'm a boss, ain't i?" Amy nodded, "And i'm married to a billionaire, right?" She nodded again and smiled, she got the idea as well.
"Well then, let's go to the designer's section." Amy said
We walked together to the 'Bougie and Classy' tagged on the door, a lady stopped us from entering;
"Sorry ma'am, you can't come in here. Your section is over there."
"What do you mean 'Our' section, we want to shop in here." Amy said.
"In here are for those who can afford it ma'am, we do not accept window shopping." the store keeper said.
"Out of our way!" my voice carried more force than intended.
