Jamal 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.”

    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.
