Vengeful Couple.

CHAPTER NINETEEN

Audrey's P.O.V

Mason was doing a good job fooling them, i on the other hand, i'm a terrible actor. The questions kept coming and mason answered them all, i just sat there leaning on him like a submissive wife, but then they threw a question to me.

"Mrs Sullivan, how long have you known Mr Sullivan?"

"Four months."

"You returned to LA four months ago, are you saying that you've known him since...."

"We met in canada, before i returned home." I said

"Would you say he married you because he loves you or because he had pity on you for losing both parents."

"He married me because he cares about me, isn't that enough?" i was beginning to get irritated by these questions, mason gently squeezed my hand.

The next question took me unaware; "Mrs Sullivan, are you comfortable with him? Considering his reputation of physical abuse and irresponsibility?" i felt mason stiffened, i turned to look at him and he was staring right back. There was something i saw in his eyes, something i couldn't read. "Mrs Sullivan...." the man called but i couldn't pull my gaze away from mason.

"Mason has been nothing but nice and kind to me ever since we met. He hasn't for once lost his temper with me or raised a finger, he's been a caring husband and a loving father." i blurted the words out in a second, mason smiled and before i could tear my gaze away, he raised my chin and planted a soft kiss on my lips. It was a short kiss but even after i looked away, i still felt his lips on mine.

'Where did that come from? He has never lost his temper? Mason has yelled at me not once but twice, though every other thing i was true. He has been nice and warm with me.'

The questions ended and they asked for Aaliyah now, she came down and answered her questions happily. Finally they were ready to leave;

"Good day Mr Sullivan, have a good day at the office Mrs Sullivan."

"Thank you." i replied

After they left, mason retracted his hand that was still placed on my shoulder, he stood up and left without a word. I returned upstairs to pick my bag, coming down the stairs, i saw grandma sullivan;

"Good morning grandma sullivan."

"Good morning my dear, on your way to the office?"

"Yes, i have a lot to do."

"Have a lovely day."

"Thank you ma'am." i said and hurried out, i was relieved she didn't try to stop me. Now, how to get to the office was another bother, Amy won't let me have my car and i cannot take mason's.

I saw mason's personal assistant as he pulled up in the black BMW in front of me; "Boss said you can take the car." he said as he stepped out and handed the key to me, i hesitated. "He said i should give you this when you're skeptical."

I took the note and opened it:

'The car is yours now, no favors or sentiments attached. Just a gift of appreciation for this morning, have a good day at work.'

"If i had known i would get a gift, i would have done my best in acting" i muttered to myself. I smiled and took the key, hopped in and zoomed out.

I arrived at the office, Erin and May were already waiting for me;

"Good morning ma'am." they both said, smiling sheepishly

"Good morning Mr Erin, May."

"Congratulations ma'am" Erin said "Congratulations Mrs Sullivan." may said

"Shhhhh!" i looked around, thankfully no one heard her. "You can't say a word about my marriage to anyone, understood?" they nodded.

"But why, being married to a billionaire like mason sullivan shouldn't be hidden." i knew may was a stubborn fly.

"There are a lot of things that needs to be handled before we make it public. I repeat not a word to anyone."

"Yes ma'am." they both said

"Mr Erin, call the manager of Apex advertising company, tell him about our Ad campaign and he should send in Enzo Peterson."

"Ye..yes ma'am." Erin and May exchanged glances.

Mason's P.O.V

Long after the meeting and audrey was gone, i went into the study to continue with my work, brian was constantly stealing glances.

"What is it?"

"How did it go boss?" he asked, Brian was genuinely loyal, whatever affects me affected him and he was the only one i could trust with my life.

"She did good, infact she amazed me."

"Hence the gift."

"Yes."

"You've never given me a gift for a job well done." he said smiling, i gave him a hard stare to wipe that smile off his face.

"Any news about dianne?"

"Yes boss."

"Spill."

"She's into drugs again boss, she frequents her usual location once every week."

I closed my laptop, "You have evidence?"

"Yes boss."

"Good, gather all the evidence you have on her life and file them up. I will let you know what to do with them soon."

"Okay boss, but what about the recordings and GPS locations? Those are necessary."

"I will send them over later, you can go now, i have work to do."

"Yes boss." Brian left.

I have everything i need to make sure dianne never sees Aaliyah again, everything i need to ruin her life and family's reputation just like they ruined mine. Aaliyah didn't deserve a mother like her, neither does society, she was toxic to everyone around her, i just needed to wait for the right moment. Then my mind slipped to audrey, i wasn't expecting her to jump to my defense. I had yelled at her twice but she didn't spill, maybe she thought if she did, it would get her trouble too? Trying to shake the thought of, then i remembered the soft feeling of those lips, it stirred something inside me, something i didn't like or rather, something i hate that i liked.
