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
Avery’s POVI really do not know what was more heartbreaking the fact that Liam just uses me anyhow he likes and toss me into the trash like I never really matter. This is the most frustrating way I've lived my life. Even when my family lost everything they had life was never this saddening, my Dad’s death and Mom’s illness took a toll on me emotionally, but then I could still move around and have my freedom. Liam took everything away from me, my freedom, my dignity, my looks, every freaking thing!!! It felt like I was going to lose my mind very soon if I did not start leaving this house, I have given Liam that chance to treat me this way. Although he was helping mom pay her medical bills but keeping her daughter away from visiting her, How is he even assisting? I've been so quiet for too long, firstly I really need to see my mom even if it is the last thing I do.Standing up from the bed I walked into the bathroom to have a quick bath, after that, I prepared myself for the day's p
Chapter 32Avery’s POV“You said what? Avery, we are going to the beauty so in the car now!!” he snapped staring daggers at me. But then the surge of adrenaline flowing through my veins was too much. 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. What changed Liam? I'm not asking for much, jus
Avery’s POV Two days later I woke feeling a lot better, my wrists were healing up pretty fast. Maria has been going about her normal duties and coming into my room to check on me at intervals. Stretching my hands I felt a slight pain in my left elbow, but then it was minimal. I decided to have a long bath. It has been so long since I soaked myself in the bathtub, so I chose to do that today. Liam has been making sure I got everything I requested, he also has been sleeping at home and not with Laura.A new sense of determination enveloped my whole being, What if this was a way out for both of us? Maybe God just decided to use Miss Emma to help our marriage, Since he needs me for his contract to commence, then this was an opportunity for us to create a bond. Liam and I would get to spend more time together, communicate more often also go to fun places together. I felt so happy while I peeled my clothes off my body slowly.After I was done filling the bathtub with water I gently step
Liam’s POVJason informed me about Miss Emma’s stance concerning the rule she stated at the last meeting, it was still very much intact. Emphasizing the fact that she refused to change her rule or have any form of debate about it. I had to reassure him everything would be fine. Sitting behind my PC in my office, the firms that reached out to Jason sent one of their directors. There was an appointment with one of the directors scheduled in two hours, so I decided to check the order for some clothes, shoes and bags for Avery. Everything felt so disorganized in my eyes, Why must I be going through so much torture for Avery’s sake? This was too much for me to bear because why would she get all this treatment because she was my wife on paper? It was not founded on love, this marriage was never about love. I saw it as another contract that needed to be treated delicately at first and after something you can handle it the way you like. Jason knocked softly on the door, “Come in.” I said
Liam’s POVPacing around in the sitting room, I was getting agitated, What was taking Avery so long? Checking the time again, we had just two hours to get to Emma’s Fashion House. Sighing, I sat on the sofa fighting so hard not to ruin my mood this morning since it was pretty clear that Avery wanted to do just that. I was about to go check on her myself because it wasn't funny anymore when I heard her voice from the top of the stairs, “So sorry I’m Late Liam” Avery’s voice sounded appealing, I was forced to redirect my gaze toward her, the sight before me was spectacular. It took so much to believe it was the filth of a wife that I got married to who was this transformed goddess in front of me. Exhaling without being aware that I had been holding my breath for so long, I replied, “How did you do this?” the question flew out of my mind before I could put a stop to it.Then she smiled, that smile, “damn it man! Why the emotions towards Avery? Please keep in mind all of this is just
