Vengeful Couple.

CHAPTER SEVENTEEN

Audrey's P.O.V

Waking up on a sunday morning, i was excitedly putting together what i would wear to the office on monday. The previous day was awesome, meeting stephanie and enzo at the hospital while dropping off Amy was unexpected but great. I wasn't bothered about them catching me at a bad time, it was the perfect time, i was dressed in a sophisticated way. I alighted from the black BMW and turned around to give Amy a hug just to make sure i was seen.

FLASHBACK:

"Audrey?" Enzo called

I turned around to face him, "Enzo Peterson."

"Audrey Bennett, you...you look different." he said

I smiled, i looked at stephanie who was staring at the car before staring at me, she glanced at my feet, my dress and then her gaze landed on my face.

"You do look different."

"Where have you been? You disappeared, steph told me you were in town." Enzo's gaze raked my body, it made stephanie angry.

"Yes Enzo, i arrived town four months ago and i remained locked in for two months after my father passed on."

"I'm so sorry about your parents."

I looked at him and clenched my fist, Amy held my hand; "Alright Amy, i need to head home now." i said to Amy, hugging her again.

"Drive safe." she said

"Of course i will." i replied, walking back to the driver's side, i asked Enzo; "Can we talk sometime next week, we have a lot to catch up on." i faked a smile.

"I'm sure my Enzo is busy, since he just got promoted at Apex advertising company." stephanie said

"Really? I was thinking of working with them, i have new products coming on and an Ad campaign is what i need to get them into the market."

"I can handle that for you." he dipped his hand into his chest pocket and brought out a card, "You can contact me on monday."

I took it and said; "I sure will." i looked at stephanie and her baby bump, "Nice meeting you Enzo, you too stephanie." i got into the car, started it and zoomed off.

END OF FLASHBACK.

Laughing within myself, i continued singing and dancing to the music i was playing, until the knock on my door interrupted the moment.

"Come in."

It was mason, he came in to tell me about a damn check up routine from the court;

"Why the hell would you not tell me there's a f*****g check up routine for a month? And tomorrow? I'm to resume the office tomorrow."

"Resume office? We're supposed to be on our honeymoon."

"That's not what we're talking about mason."

"Dianne made a complained to the court two days after Aaliyah came home, she said i paid someone to marry me just to take Aaliyah away."

"She made that accusation yesterday."

"She made it seem true to the court yesterday."

"Damn! That b***h!" i spat, i looked at mason instantly to give him an apologetic look for calling the mother of his kid a b***h but he didn't seem bothered. As a matter of fact, he was smiling at me for a reason unknown to me. "What?"

"Are you always this blunt?" he asked.

"Well, is there a need to be polite with her? She called me a 'cheap w***e' without even knowing me, i say there's no being polite with dianne white."

"True, then we agree to make her look so stupid tomorrow?" mason asked with a mischievous smirk. That meant doing what married couples do, acting like we're madly in love with each other, that meant kissing, touching and smiling stupidly. 'f*****g hell!' i screamed in my head. This wasn't what I signed up for, but we were in this together, the court mustn't find out i also faked this marriage just to get my inheritance.

"Alright, let's do this."

"Good." he turned around to leave.

"I want a favor though."

"Do you attach favors to everything? I'm starting to think you're using....."

"We are using each other mason, yours seem more complicated than mine. Besides, you owe me two favors."

"And what do i get in return, because you seem to forget that if this doesn't go right you also go to jail for perjury."

"Are you threatening me?"

"No gummy bear, just stating a clear fact."

"What do you want?"

"You owe me two favors as well, I'll tell you when i think about it. Now, what is your first request?"

"I don't know how bad you want the media to know about this, but please promise they won't find out about this union."

Mason was quiet for a while, his gaze was fixed on me, what was he thinking about; "I can't promise you, i have no control over the media, they always find out."

"Please Mason."

He sighed and folded his arms ; "What about the trips and meetings you're supposed to attend with me huh?"

"Take someone else for those, this is supposed to be for just six months." He chuckled and left my room, i followed him to his; "It will cause a scandal if after six months, i leave you. I'm saving you and Aaliyah the chaos...."

"Don't you bring Aaliyah into this!" mason yelled and i jerked back. He calmed himself before he continued, "You don't care about any of us but yourself. You're doing this for you, so don't mention my daughter's name, understood?" I nodded, "I promise, 'i won't let the blogs know'. Now leave my room." i walked out of his room and back into mine.

Something felt off with the way he said it, i really shouldn't have involved Aaliyah, he gets sentimental with her. I really wanted him to understand the implications of involving the blogs, they always find a way to twist the truth, this wouldn't go right with him and his reputation if he loses his second wife barely six months in.

'I don't care, i tried to warn him.'
