Bound By The Billionaires Contract 106: Blissful Life
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

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

Avery’s POV“Just stay put I'm coming to get you then we can go together, I don't like the idea of you walking around on your own Babe!” Jamal said, sounding so worried.Giggling I replied, “I will be fine my love, it's just the mall two blocks away from my studio. I'm craving Cheetos and chips, it's not my fault the baby can’t wait for you to drive all the way from the other end of the city to the studio.”He exhaled sharply, whenever he did this it meant Jamal was tired of arguing and would eventually let me do what I chose to, but I felt terrible for doing this. So I decided to explain myself further,“Babe, I know you are trying to be a caring and supportive partner, but I'm fine, alright. My health is great, and I don't feel so fatigued, but if you keep insisting on doing everything for me, how would I be able to get my regular exercise besides yoga?” I asked softly.“I just don't want my sweetheart stressing over small things like Cheetos and chips.”Laughing I stood up from the

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.

He returned saying everything was normal, but after the discussion his countenance was disturbing.

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

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
Bound By The Billionaires Contract 118: Shocking Truth
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

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.

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.
