Bound By The Billionaires Contract 19: The Agony Of Love
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

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

Liam’s POV“Answer me!!” I barked to jolt her completely from the world of confusion. She slowly sat upright on the bed while looking at me with so much fear in her eyes. “W… What are you talking about, Liam? I cleaned your room yesterday and you rebuked me from cleaning your room any longer saying you would inform Maria to get a domestic staff to clean your room. So what is this about not cleaning your room?” she asked innocently. The audacity she had to ask me these stupid questions infuriated me the more I stood there looking at my lovely wife. Redirecting my gaze to Maria, “So after my direct orders to you not to help Avery out, you decided to defile them, since you love Avery so much, I have decided to slash your pay in two for this month. I respect you so much Maria, so you won’t lose your job.” I said firmly.Instantly, Avery’s sobs filled the room, “Please Liam punish me instead, Maria needs the money. You can punish me for as long as you like, but don't slash Maria’s pay in

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

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. I promise to be more careful, and we could file a restraining order against Liam.” Avery replied

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
