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
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
Avery’s POVA week passed, and I continued with my punishment. My body felt worn out, but then I just could not stop going after the last time someone decided to help me out she got her pay slashed in two, so I decided to do it myself. Cleaning the figurine placed on the table, I worked my way from the sitting room to the dining room and finally to the rooms upstairs. My room was always the last to be cleaned, thankfully Maria kept bringing the ointment for me. Whenever I was done cleaning, my wrists would go numb and the only way I have been able to keep my hands working is by applying the ointment every time I was done cleaning up. Maria mostly helped me to move heavy objects around and also made me good meals for breakfast and Lunch with Dinner. Liam hasn't cut down my diet yet, and I hope he doesn't do that anyway, it has been a long way coming, so I had just a few days to go. “Thank you, Maria.” I said tiredly while slumping on the bed. She smiled and patted my shoulders gent
Avery’s POVThe level of attention I got from Liam was sickening it made me feel like puking, I was still trying to adjust to the fact that he sat down close to me when suddenly he leaned in and placed a kiss on my stomach. “My little princess and prince don’t stress mummy okay, she needs her strength to move around the house so don’t kick too much. Listen to Daddy, alright.” he whispered audibly to Nana’s hearing.I became so uncomfortable, it was unbelievable that this was the same man who had not been home for the past three days. The rage that flowed through my veins was intense, but I decided to be cool about everything that had been going on. Mrs. Galloway replied cheerfully, “I want twins so we would have two mini versions of you both running around the estate during holidays. I'm so happy for you, my son and daughter, you have made me proud. I can’t wait to carry my grandchildren in my hands, but you look so tired Avery, are you stressed? Your hands are so red and inflamed,
Liam’s POVReclining on the sofa in Laura’s sitting room I tried to get some work done after we had sex all night. I can’t even tell where she gets her energy from, but I love her so much, no I love her body so much. Tapping away on my keyboard I felt Laura’s presence behind me, “Good morning my love, Did you have a good rest?” she asked nibbling on my earlobes. Groaning I tried to break free from her hold, “Babe you really don't want to be doing that after everything we did last night, please give me a break.” I replied playfully grabbing her chin. I placed a soft kiss on her lips before saying, “I'm sorry babe, but I have to go back home now. My grandmother is unpredictable, and she might visit again, but that's just on the sidelines. Emma Addams finally decided to meet with me today, she scheduled an appointment. Apparently, she has been in Paris all week and just flew in last night, I'm really shocked to know that someone this affluent attended my party and did not make any big
Liam’s POVAfter several failed attempts to negotiate with Miss Emma, I stormed out of her company, How dare anyone try to dictate rules to me? I refuse to be treated as an upcoming actor in the art industry. Turning abruptly to Jason, I snapped, “This is all your fault, if you had gone through the contract properly we would not be in this mess right now. But instead, you decided to be irresponsible at a crucial time as this, Why on earth do I pay you handsomely to deliver this poorly?” He quickly bowed his head saying, “I apologize for my negligence Mr Liam, I failed to read up such an important section of your contract, but I promise this would not repeat itself.” Sighing, I tried to put my emotions under control, “This had better not repeat itself, I would not go with that stupid rule she just mentioned. I really don't care how you do it but make sure this whole contract with Miss Emma must commence by next week.” I stated before we got into my car. Turning the ignition I drove
