Mason's P.O.V
When she arrived at the court, i saw her and she looked like a gorgeous mermaid in that dress. It revealed her perfect figure and i knew she was a size ten with a small waist, i never knew she had such a pretty body that required no surgery to look this good. And when i kissed her, i felt her tense up, her lips were so soft and it tasted like raspberry.
Sitting next to her as my wife felt strange, i guess it was for her too because she sat at the extreme, putting as much space between us as possible. She fumbled with her nails which were prettily painted, her legs shaking uncontrollably.
"You do that when you're nervous? Or anxious?" she jerked, her thoughts were far away.
"Nervous."
"Why are you nervous?"
Sje stopped fumbling with her nails and her legs stopped as well, then she turned a little to face me;
"I'm married to a supposed animal, I'm moving in with this supposed animal who probably lives on the outskirts of the city because we've been going for almost an hour to an environment i'm not familiar with, no family or friends to help me if i need to get away from you and you ask why i am nervous? Really?" I stared blankly at her as she panted from all the yelling.
Just then brian drove into the villa and pulled up in front of the mansion;
"We're home...." I said and stepped out of the car, "and we are still in the city, incase you need to get away from me so badly."
I walked into the house, leaving the domestic staffs to help her with whatever she needed. I went straight into grandma sullivan's room to check on her and let her know i had arrived. Afterwards, i went to my room to change into something else so i could go see my daughter at the hospital.
"Where is she?" i asked brian when i came downstairs.
"Agatha is showing her to the bedroom." he answered.
"Let's go." i said.
Audrey's P.O.V
The outburst was really unnecessary but the question triggered the fear i had suppressed all this while. I never thought of how living with him would be, he left me and walked into the mansion, i think i was angry about what i said.
'Of course he was, you called him an animal. You called Mason Sullivan, an animal, what were you thinking?'
But that was it, i wasn't thinking, i just ranted on. I followed the middle aged woman who introduced herself to me as Agatha, she was taking me to my bedroom. But we entered a room that looks like the master's bedroom;
"This is the master's bedroom." i said
"Yes Mrs Sullivan."
"Please call me Audrey, and this must be Mason's room. So please kindly show me my bedroom."
She walked further into the room and stood in front of a double door, she opened them and said; "This is your bedroom ma'am."
I lifted my dress and gently walked over to her, i took a peep and saw it was an adjoined room. It looked almost exactly like the first one, it had already been prepared upon my arrival, i walked into the room to take a look around;
"Your belongings will be brought in now." Agatha said and walked away. I laid on the bed carelessly and took a deep breath, the butler brought in my bags of course and disappeared. Still lying on the bed five minutes later, i heard a knock in the door. Grunting, i lazily went to open only to see an elderly woman staring at me, she stood with the aid of a metal cane.
"Good...day ma'am." i greeted, "I'm sorry, mason didn't tell me about you, i should've been the one coming to you." i added.
"I just wanted to see you in your wedding dress." she said looking at me from my head to my feet and back up again. "You are indeed beautiful.....Settle in and come see me afterwards." she said.
"Yes ma'am." she turned around to walk gently out of the room. I closed the door and locked it, Why didn't he tell me his grandmother was living with him, was she? I shook my head and hurried into the bathroom.
Ten minutes later, i was ready with a jean and a short sleeve chiffon top, i packed up my hair into a messy bun. Then i came out and asked the first person i saw;
"Where's Mason?"
"Mr Sullivan left twenty minutes ago to the hospital." the young girl said
"Hospital?" i asked, she frowned and then it clicked. "Aaliyah." I muttered. "Can you please show me to grandma sullivan's room?"
"Sure." she turned to the opposite direction and i followed, shortly we came to a door. "She's inside." she said and left me there, i hesitated for a second, tgen i knocked.
"Come in." i heard her raspy voice. I walked in and slowly approached her bed, she smiled at me and i stiffened. "Come sit." she tapped the bed and i sat.
"How are you ma'am?" i said, unsure of how she would respond to that.
"Call me grandma sullivan, and you don't have to be like that, i don't bite." she said, she was likely to be in her late sixty and she was still pretty, she doesn't look that old but i could see she was definitely sick.
She caught me staring and said; "I fell down the stairs when i got the news about the accident that took my son and his wife. I've been using the cane ever since."
"Oh, I'm so sorry."
"So am i...." i looked at her confused, "Your parents, i'm also sorry about your parents." she added.
"Oh, th..thank you."
"I know the circumstances surrounding this marriage between you and my grandson. So you do not need to pretend whenever you're around me.....
