Avery’s POVLost in thought while the shower was still running it had been crazy in the last week, Jamal kept showing so much love and care. Basically, he satisfied all of my cravings, and the funny thing was my heart kept thumping loudly in my chest any time he was around.It was getting frustrating since all I could do was keep my distance from him, and he did not seem to help matters. Since we shared a kiss in my bedroom, Jamal has not stopped showing me romantic sides of him, we were in the kitchen when he grabbed my waist and kissed me passionately.“Ugh!” I exhaled sharply, I truly don't think I can hold back for so long. This has to be a mistake, he probably is just doing all of this to make me feel happy. Jamal is a successful young man, and I'm just baggage.Sighing I turned off the shower faucet and gently stepped out of the bathroom after wrapping the towel around my chest. The housekeeper already served my breakfast on the table, my stomach made weird noises immediately th
Avery’s POVThe car came to a stop and my heart started thumping loudly in my chest, no matter how hard I tried to calm myself down, it was still so futile. I wondered what could ever go wrong.I smothered my jeans which were so straight because I felt so anxious. Jamal opened the door and held my hands protectively while I stepped out of the car, “Careful, don’t hurt yourself okay I'm here to guide you.” his voice held so much affection I could literally jump off a plane if he asked me to right now.“Thank you.” I muttered. Jamal pulled me close to his side while he slipped his left hand around my slender waist. His skin sent hot shivers down my spine, but then I kept trying to control my emotions and hormones.I heard the soft clicking of keys, “Now let’s go inside.” he said, guiding me while I took careful strides into the building.“Are we not there yet? I'm getting exhausted Jamal.”“Alright, you can stop here.” he said holding me in position with his firm hands. My heartbeat acc
Liam’s POV“What do you mean by we are going bankrupt? What about the case we filed against Hollywood? They were supposed to pay the money they owe me, Jason come on do something about this. You have always been competent what is going on?” I fumed gulping from the whiskey bottle.Jason flinched but stood still staring at me, “Unfortunately Mr. Liam, there is nothing we can do about that, the case was dismissed from the court and Hollywood got away. Moreover, the investors and directors all withdrew their investments. Also, the company’s back-up account is worth only twenty million dollars.”I almost lost my balance if not for Leo you quickly rushed to my side in the sitting room. Since I chased Maria away five days ago Leo has been the only one helping me, “I'm alright Leo, let go of me.” I said coldly.“How is that even possible Jason? I put you in charge of that account what happened?” I lashed out staring daggers at him.He sauntered backward before saying, “The team forced me int
Avery’s POVMonths later I sat behind a canvas creating a unique portrait of an African woman in her prime, I wore my work clothes but still, I managed to get smeared all over in paint. Although I was just one month away from holding my baby in my arms I was still strong and agile doing my work diligently. Betty knocked softly on the door, “Good afternoon ma, Do you need me to get something for you?” she inquired softly. “Yes, Betty, Please get me vanilla-flavored kiwi ice cream. Thanks.” I said smiling. She bowed courteously before leaving my workspace. Betty was my personal assistant in the studio. Shortly after I heard a soft knock on the door, “Betty, the door is opened, you are back so early.” I said, calmly placing the palette on the stool close to me. Lifting my head up, I met the man whom my heart beats for, “Babe!” I screamed grinning standing up with my protruding baby bump. He quickly rushed forward and held me up, “My love I've warned you not to stress yourself while
Liam’s POVI lay down on the bed, reminiscing on the good times we had before I met Laura. Sighing my throat felt parched but then, I finished up all the whiskey in my mini-bar.Standing up from the bed, I took long strides into the bathroom, anyone who could see me right now would attest to the fact that I was the delusional one. Staying in Avery’s room and using her shower gel gave me a certain type of comfort that I yearned for.I ran a cold water bath and stepped out of the bathroom, reaching for my phone on the table I scrolled through the call log and found out Nana and Grandfather called me so many times and I failed to return the calls.Exhaling sharply I was not in the mood for any more motivating speeches I just wanted to be left alone. It's so hard for me to walk around in the city, I can no longer visit the lounge since the manager thinks I'm bad business. If I was told a couple of months ago this was how my life would turn out just maybe I would have learned to treat Aver
Avery’s POV“Babe we would be late, what are you still doing in the shower? Jamal!” I yelled, running a comb through my hair. It was difficult to right now I needed Jamal’s help, but he was still in the shower singing so loud my ears were filled already.“You leave me breathless, you’re everything good in my life…”Sighing, I dropped the comb on the dressing table. Instantly the bathroom door opened, “Did I keep you waiting my queen? I apologize for my misconduct, her highness.”Redirecting my gaze to the bathroom, Jamal stood in front with a towel wrapped around his waist firmly while he pouted. Laughing so hard I stroked my bump, the baby gets agitated easily when I exert so many emotions.“Jamal, please get dressed and stop acting like a lady.”“Alright babe, your wish is my command.” He said calmly moving toward the wardrobe. I still had not gotten used to seeing him naked around the room even after we had been intimate with each other, but Jamal was still patient with me.Liam me
Author’s POVJamal drove quickly out of his estate, he had a meeting with the board of directors in a company looking to invest a billion dollars into his real estate company.He was both a successful actor and real estate mogul. Jamal owned diverse properties across the globe and his father owned half of the city, but he has always been humble and respectful.“I'm on my way Khloe, get everything ready and everyone should be sitting before I get there.” he instructed on the call before ending it abruptly. Avery is the only one who makes Jamal calm and easygoing, but when it involves his work he is always strict.Thirty minutes later he drove into Blue Home Company. A Valet stood at the entrance, stepping out of my car, he tossed the keys at him with a warm smile.Walking briskly into the company Khloe came to guide him, “Good morning Mr. Jamal, everyone is waiting for you at the conference room.”“Good morning Khloe, thank you once again for helping me out. Shall we?” he said before t
Avery’s POV“Mom it's not your fault, everything happened so fast, and I just wanted to help out in the little way I could. Enough of the whole act of blaming yourself for everything bad that happened to me. We should be grateful that Jamal was still there to help me out when I needed someone and this baby is my blessing he is not a curse!” I said, staring at my mom with teary eyes.Pulling me closer she patted my arms softly, “I'm sorry my princess for making you cry, I'm happy to know you are happy with Jamal and with the baby on its way soon I don't want you thinking too much. Try your best to rest and have enough fruits, you should also stop working for the moment.” my mom said calmly.Resting my head on her shoulders I stroked my baby bump, this has become a habit I could not stop for a weird reason. It gives me this closure with my unborn child and it's also a way of reassuring him I was still here.“Mom I have to leave the house and do something to keep myself fit, staying all
