Bound By The Billionaires Contract 11: The Ghost Of Past
Avery’s POV PRESENT DAY, “Avery! It's you Avery!!” the voice of the person who I never wished I would ever come across rang in my ears, jolting me out of my thoughts. I blinked uncontrollably at the sight in front of me. She looked stunning. It felt like my whole world crumbled before my very own eyes, “Laura,” I said, but my frail voice gave me away as she began laughing hysterically with one hand on the steering wheel. I stood transfixed to the ground by the side of her Ferrari car, this was our dream car while growing up. We promised each other to get the same cars when we were a lot older and not just young teenagers, life is indeed unfair to me. What did I ever do to deserve this? Her next question left me in the dark, “Do you mind joining me in my car?” she inquired, staring at me calmly. It was obviously a trap, Laura left me when my family lost everything, leaving me all alone to take care of my sick mother whom she always claimed to be her mother while we were

Avery’s POV The sky suddenly appeared cloudy, lightning and thunderstorms blared above, and I wondered if God was angry with me tonight. Why this night when I have no means of going home? Complaining painfully, I kept walking down the path that led to my house, checking billboards and street names to make sure I was going in the right direction. Suddenly, it started raining heavily like I was the main target for the night, there was no way I could stay under any covering since I already wasted so much time speaking to Laura. Sighing, I proceeded under the rain, I knew there was no way I would not get the flu tomorrow morning. But arriving home late meant more trouble for me, so I was at crossroads. My legs felt sore and weak, but I kept walking under the unforgiving rain, it felt like my body was being lashed with wipes. Everything about my life was a mess right now and to make matters even worse, I had not visited my mom for so long because Liam refused every time I asked o

Liam’s POV My evening was perfect until she showed up at the party looking like some beggar by the roadside but it was not so bad since no one knew we were together. Avery has always been a good wife who obeys every order given to her since we got married. Most times I expected her to retaliate probably shut me up or even refuse to carry out the task, but every single time she obeyed me foolishly. I could say she is overly submissive, and I hated her for this, Avery always tried to please me at every slight chance she got, but then I wanted the drama. If only she was a little feisty and classy then all of this would not be happening, I'm not a monster but whenever Avery is involved, I just cannot help myself I enjoy making her suffer. So for the past few years, I always invite her to my after parties where she would get to watch me enjoy my life to the fullest from the sidelines. I knew it must be heartbreaking for her to see me with different women all the time whene

Avery’s POV I woke up feeling like crap, this was not new to me, but then it was different this time around. Probably I made a wrong choice by staying back even after I got an opportunity to run away last night. Sitting up I propped a pillow behind my back so I could rest my head which was banging non-stop. Anyone would call me a fool, but I really don't care, the swirl of emotions that enveloped my being last night while walking in the rain was enough for me to bolt into the night running as far as my legs could carry me to someplace that’s far away from Liam. But then again, there was this part of me that wanted to believe that the caring and sweet husband whom I married was still in there. Liam always made sure I lacked nothing and everything that would make me more comfortable was provided when we were newly wedded, everything changed after he received his first global award. At first, it was bearable since he was not so egocentric, but then the more recognition he

Avery’s POV Maria knocked on my door a few hours later which jolted me from my sleep, rubbing my eyes I yawned as she walked into my room with a lunch tray. She smiled before placing it gently on the table, “Thank you, Maria,” I said smiling. “You must eat to stay healthy, my lady, I made you pasta.” Without hesitating I got out of bed, in no time I was done with the whole plate of pasta that was sitting innocently on the table. I undeniably had a crazy appetite. “Maria that pasta was delicious I would not mind having some in the evening. Thanks to you, I feel a lot better than when I woke up this morning, If you don't mind me asking is Liam at home?” I inquired calmly. Maria smiled at me before retorting calmly, “Yes my lady, Sir Liam is in his study. He has been there all day, but he left a few minutes ago to freshen up in his room. It seems he is about to go out.” “Thank you, Maria, I need to take my bath now. Those pills were quite effective, I slept almost immedia

Liam’s POV There was never a day I enjoyed peace in my home just because I decided to get married to someone from the slum. Avery was the worst decision I've made in a long time, just as the popular saying goes, “I would have to live by the choice I made.” Sighing, I stepped out of my car and walked into Laura’s house which was located at one of the Elite residential areas in the city. This has been my safe haven since we started dating, every time I wanted to rest and have a fun time Laura’s house is always the best place for that. There she was, my beautiful model standing by the front door with a warm smile on her face, “Welcome my love.” she said softly pulling me in a hug. Her soft jasmine cologne filled my nostrils, this is something every man is entitled to enjoy not some Avery drama all the time. That woman is driving me nuts, every time it is about plotting one evil plan or another just to teach her a lesson. “You smell so good, baby, I can take you right here an

Avery’s POV Days passed, and I was suddenly a shadow of my former self, I looked so horrible since I could barely balance cleaning the whole house in a day. I have been waking up as early as five in the morning and sleeping as late as twelve at night for the past four days. Liam has made my life a living hell although Maria is always around trying to help me out, but I knew Liam had maids who were his personal spies so one wrong move would lead to her job being taken away from her. This is the last thing I wanted for Maria, she has been the most supportive person I have around Liam’s house loosing her would be heartbreaking for me. I don’t think I would be unable to live with myself if she gets laid off for my sins. Sighing, I wiped the porcelain pots sitting comfortably on the table, it was sparkling clean already, but I just could not stop myself from scrubbing it further. Maria called out, “My Lady, your hand is bleeding.” Instantly I felt a sharp pain in my palm, p

Avery’s POVA soft knock was heard from the door, I stood before Liam as tears streamed down my eyes. This was not the life I chose for myself, Liam abusing me at the slightest provocation like I was absolutely nothing to him. Sighing Liam moved away from me before saying, “Come in.” Maria walked into the room and was shocked to see me standing close to the wall looking like a war victim, her face grew pale as she carefully kept the tray of food on the table. “Lunch is served, Sir Liam.” she said softlyShe refrained from asking about the problem, but I could tell Maria was crushed at the sight before her, the way her eyelids flickered was a perfect reason, but she could do nothing about it. Maria quickly exited the room and I knew it was going to be a long day for me. “I asked you a question, Avery, Why do you have my pack of condoms in your hands? You know what, you disgust me, so because I go around having fun with other women you had the guts to try it with your boyfriend Jamal

Avery’s POVI heard footsteps approaching while I moved cautiously on the chair, “Who do we have here? It's fucking Avery Livingstone!” her voice echoed across the warehouse.Instantly I felt rage course through my bloodstream, I knew this voice even in my sleep. Laura Jones!Someone moved closer, probably a bodyguard then removed my blindfold and the cloth on my mouth roughly before moving away. I blinked twice trying to get a hang of my environment, suddenly I felt so scared seeing the fierce-looking bodyguards standing close to me.Recoiling into my shell, I redirected my gaze to Laura who had an evil smirk on her face, “So the almighty Avery is finally in front of me. I warned you, but you just did not listen, always thinking you are better than me. Who's the boss now?” she taunted, moving closer to me.I stared daggers at her but was taken aback when I saw Khloe walking behind her holding a pistol. My heartbeat increased and I started piecing the puzzle together, Khloe called Jam

Jamal has been cooking and making her happy while they awaited the arrival of the baby.He wasn't acting like the baby was not his, Avery’s mom was more than grateful when she found out Jamal was the way who paid for her treatment. She became more furious at Liam and prayed silently that he would live in regret for the pain he caused her daughter.“Miss Avery, can you see your baby’s features carefully, he is growing so well. I can see that Jamal took good care of the both of you, thankfully the ultrasound shows no sign of any complication.” Dr. Leonard said, passing Jamal a napkin.He wiped off the gel carefully while smiling warmly, “He looks so cute Ave.” Grinning, she replied, “My little champ will be here soon.”When he was done Jamal helped Avery up while she breathed heavily since it was just a few days away from her EDD. “Thank you, babe.” Aver

Avery’s POVPondering on the revelation I just got from Mrs. Galloway a notification popped up on my phone. I checked it and discovered it was a threat from an unknown number,“Watch your back, Avery, I'm coming for you. This is not over yet, Liam is mine, and I refuse to share him with you. I don't mind wiping your footprint off the surface of this earth, be warned!!”Instantly I knew it was from Laura, taking a deep breath I wondered what she still wanted from me. I could not understand how I was standing in her way to be with Liam. It sounded so absurd, but then I decided to report it to Jamal so we could get a restraining order on her too.Jamal arrived hours later, “How is my baby doing?” he said, placing a soft kiss on my forehead. Exhaling sharply I replied,“ It has been a hell of a day babe, I'm happy you are here, can we go home now?”He stared at me in a funny way, “Alright, but you will have to give me every single detail about it.” he said before reaching for my brunch pac

Avery’s POV Two weeks later, I glanced at the handsome young man driving me to the studio. Jamal was indeed a blessing to me, he went as far as employing bodyguards from a security company to guard the studio. Smiling he drove into the parking lot of the studio before turning the ignition off. “Make sure you sort everything with the galleries today, don’t forget your promise this is your last day coming to work. Try not to stress your beautiful self, I love you always, Ave.” he said before leaning in and claiming my lips softly. I moaned loudly in his mouth, Jamal quickly jerked away from me. “You are doing it again, please you can step out now before I do something drastic like claiming you in the backseat now!” he said running his finger through his hair. Blushing I replied, “Yes sire, have a lovely day too. Don’t get too worked up I know you will certainly smash your pitch. I love you.” Jamal stepped down from the car and held the door for me, assisting me with my bags. Thankf

Liam’s POVI sauntered into the sitting room feeling weary, my jaw ached so bad I could no longer feel my gum. At this moment, I realized I already lost Avery two years ago from the time I first raised my hand to smack her across her face and also when I cheated on her with Lisa, my secretary. Exhaling I slumped on the couch, reaching for the whiskey bottle I gulped the whole content. Staring around the sitting room, my life flashed before me, and I recalled how Avery and I were so happy before my ego spoiled everything we built. My head started spinning terribly. I felt like dying, my career was over even with every tactic I used in trying to get these directors to invest in my company it was useless. The funny thing was my grandfather resolved to donate half of his properties to Charity when he passed away, so there was no inheritance waiting for me since I failed to keep my marriage. Sighing, I reached for the second bottle of whiskey, How long would I plead with Avery? Deep dow

Author’s POVEarlier, Jamal and Avery were having a conversation in the sitting room, “Babe since your EDD is close I want you to stop going to the studio in the meantime, After postpartum you can start going again. Could you please do this one thing for me? I don't feel settled knowing that Liam is trying to get you back, and we don't know how violent he can become when you keep refusing him.” Jamal said while massaging Avery’s shoulders gently.“Yes…! This feels so good, right there, that’s the spot.” Avery replied, completely immersed in the massage. “Avery!! Are you even listening?”She paused and stared at him softly, “Jamal that’s the only way I get to leave the house, you are always going off to work and coming back home late. My mom has her therapy sessions during the week and Emma is still on her vacation, so what do I do? And I have two art pieces to deliver after this, I'm done. I promise to be more careful, and we could file a restraining order against Liam.” Avery replied
Bound By The Billionaires Contract 114: His Obsession
Liam’s POVWhat would I do to make Avery come back to me? This question rang through my mind while I sat in my car after being chased out of the studio by Avery’s security.I sighed heavily, shortly after I saw Jamal running crazily out of his car into the studio. He came out hurriedly in less than five minutes holding Avery who was unconscious in his hands while running towards the car.He closed the car door and looked around the neighborhood searching for something. I quickly lowered my head to prevent him from seeing my features behind the steering wheel, Jamal drove out from the studio to the hospital.Immediately I panicked before turning on the ignition of my car, what could be the problem? I hoped silently in my heart that something terrible would happen to Avery and my baby.Hitting my forehead lightly I cursed myself, “Liam! Why do you destroy things when you are supposed to be fixing them? You are still as selfish as ever, you kept on sneaking up on Avery knowing fully well

Chapter 113Avery’s POV Jamal held me close while we left the hospital, Dr. Leonardo told him something, but they discussed it in hushed tones while the nurse took my blood sample. He returned saying everything was normal, but after the discussion his countenance was disturbing. It was obvious something was going on, but Jamal was keeping it away from me, so I made up my mind to get the details from him before going to bed. We stopped at the pharmacy down the road and Jamal got down to get the supplements I needed and some drugs Dr. Leonard prescribed earlier at the hospital. I watched him walk into the pharmacy, he looked so tensed and angry but tried his best to calm himself down. Clutching my dress I tried to calm myself down, Liam cornering me at the studio was something I never thought he was going to do. Reaching for my purse, I took my phone out and dialed my mom’s number, “Hello, mommy,” I said, immediately she answered. “My lovely daughter Avery, How have you been? I t
Bound By The Billionaires Contract 112: Confronting Liam
Avery’s POVThe incident with Liam suddenly made me jittery, Jamal noticed how I easily forgot minimal details and how I kept dropping items on the ground in our bedroom. We moved to the guest room yesterday, Jamal helped to move all my stuff and got me a new massage chair. It felt so good last night when I tried it out, but it did not help with my fear of being cornered by Liam at the shopping mall. What became crazy was the fact that I knew Liam must have scouted for me through my social media page, and he knew where my studio was located. In the last two days, I came up with a sob story of how I was experiencing a series of cramps and just felt like resting all in a bid to outrun Liam, but now I just needed to get back to work. It is just a few weeks from my EDD and I still have two art pieces to complete. Sighing, I stepped on the accelerator while I drove down the road heading for the studio. Jamal left the house a couple of hours ago, it would be unfair to request that he dr
