Bound By The Billionaires Contract 25: Mask Of Control
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

The tone of his voice did not affect me one bit, “Liam I just asked you a simple question and I think I'm entitled to an answer.” the next turn of events was expected.Liam suddenly lifted his hand to whack me across my left cheek but surprisingly he suspended his hands in the air, I closed my eyes but opened them when I felt no impact of his masculine palm on my cheek. “Avery don’t get on my nerves and I mean this, get in the car right now!!” Today was not going to pass me by, Liam refrained from hitting me, which meant that he really needed me this time. I would make use of this opportunity very well, staring at him, I said, “This is new by now I would have been whacked twice across my face and probably be crying my eyes out right now.

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

Avery’s POV Two weeks later, I glanced at the handsome young man driving me to the studio. 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
Bound By The Billionaires Contract 114: His Obsession
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
