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
Liam’s POVTaking a seat on my armchair, I gestured for Jason to have his seat on the couch, Avery always makes me look like a monster in the presence of other people. Jason looked perplexed earlier while walking into my room, so I asked him to come to my study. The blood on the ground was such a gory sight, exhaling I said, “So what do you have for me? It better be good news though.”“Yes Mr. Liam it's good news from Hollywood precisely, the contract has been approved from the last meeting we held at the head office. You got the lead role in the next movie that is about to be released on Netflix, besides the huge amount that has been contracted you get to shoot the movie on your terms. This is a big step in your career.” Jason said, beaming with smiles. Letting out a hearty laugh I patted my thighs, “This is some good news Jason, all our efforts were not wasted. The countless meetings and visits were not in vain, I can only imagine the traffic on my email right now.” I enunciated.
Avery’s POVFeeling exhausted, all my body needed was quality rest. Staring at my bed I truly wanted to sleep but then I chose to be a good wife to my husband. Fixing my hair in a ponytail, I walked out of my room. Liam’s PA walked past me in the hallways and bowed slightly, which was always awkward to me as he was the only one working for Liam who accorded me a little amount of respect. His female PA Debby doesn't even see me as his wife because Liam always treats me like a piece of trash around her. It's baffling that he was still unaware of her strong feelings for him, Debby is literally crazy about Liam. Maria informed me about a scandal that almost cost Liam a contract at the early stage of his career, Debby body-shamed a fan of Liam just because she got a personal autograph from Liam. She trolled the lady’s social media pages and was later detected by cybersecurity officials. Later on, Debby was charged with cyberbullying and the fact that she was affiliated with Liam made hi
Liam’s POVGetting into my car I took deep breaths to help cool down the rage I felt within, there is no time when I have a conversation with Avery that I don’t feel like punching someone or something in the face. Damn! I made such a terrible mistake. But then when I think about the time we spent before I started going out with other women it was quite wonderful, maybe we just fell out of love. Nothing about Avery appeals to me anymore, it's more like she is irritating. Turning on the ignition key I drove into the street heading for Laura’s house she would definitely breathe down my neck if I arrived late so I had to hurry so babe doesn't get so angry with us. Just then I recalled the fun night we had a few days ago, Laura would surely be the death of me but clearly in a good way. I drifted into her compound and there she was the queen of my heart, Laura sure knows how to do her thing. She wore a black gown which did a good work in revealing the right things, her cleavage was screa
Liam’s POV“Babe please not tonight, we can talk about coming to my house some other time but right now, let's go to your house. It's just a few blocks away, I need you Laura.” I pleaded pointing at my erection. She sternly replied, “If you want this beauty you would do what is required, Liam you would not have a taste of me except on your matrimonial bed. For what was worth, you don't even share a room with her so what's the big deal, huh?” I sat down in the car looking frustrated, how would I be able to persuade this woman sitting by my side? Staring at her, I knew it would take an extra form of grace for her to agree with my terms, “Lau… oh sorry babe, I know how you feel right now but trust me to always treat you right. You know I care about you and I would give you the whole world if it was possible, but what you are asking right now is beyond me for tonight. This is my promise to you, the next time you visit it will be my house.” I said calmly gently stroking her palm. She l
Avery’s POVMaria tried staying up with me while we watched a series on Netflix, but unfortunately, every movie out there made me realize that I was being a fool for Liam. The woman’s story was so similar to mine as she tried to navigate her way through the harsh world of her ever-cheating husband. The series brought tears to my eyes as it came to an end, she lost her baby because her husband decided to use her as a punching bag unaware that she was already eight weeks gone. I turned around and found Maria dozing off on the couch, the sight before me was amusing, but then she must have stressed herself so much. Patting her shoulder softly I said, “Maria you can go inside to sleep, I will be fine.” Maria’s eyelids flickered open as she sat upright, “No my lady I'm not feeling sleepy. How did the series end?” she inquired calmly. I smiled at her good heart, “Maria you don't have to worry about me too much, I will be okay. Liam must be very close now, so I will be going to sleep very
Avery’s POVThe next day I woke up feeling sore all over, Liam was gone but the place he laid on last night was a little warm. It meant he left some minutes ago. Stretching my hands I moved my thighs mistakenly the pain that shot through my body was severe, I must have sustained some tears from his rough sex last night but still, I had to clean around the house. Slowly I got off the bed, I tried to sit but my waist and lower abdomen felt numb an excruciating pain shot through my whole body. It became worse when I tried standing up from the bed, my legs felt wobbly which made me fall on the bed. Sighing, what did I get myself into? Feeling elated that at last my husband missed me so much and wanted me so badly he came into my room at midnight only for me to be treated like a piece of trash. Instantly scenes from last night flashed through my mind, who thrusts into his wife without any foreplay? Liam is such a heartless person, but I just cannot bring myself to believe that he was c
Liam’s POVThe traffic on the road was terrible due to a drunk driver who was finding it challenging to pack his car, already annoyed from sitting in the car for hours I got to work and realized I allotted two days break to my staff. Unfortunately, I needed to sign some papers which I had been postponing for a long time now. Walking into my office, I met one of my staff behind her PC, she sprang up from her chair immediately. “Good morning, Mr. Liam, What brings you to the office?” she asked softly. I knew she was working in the media team, but I forgot her name, so I said, “Good morning, I have some work to do. Why are you here? Aren’t you supposed to be enjoying the two days off I gave?” I asked firmly. “Mr. Liam I had some extra work to do, and the deadline is in two days, so I could not afford to be resting at home when there is a pressing issue at the office.” she retorted calmly. Smiling I said, “My apologies, you can continue with your work, I have some work to do also.” I
