Bound By The Billionaires Contract 30: Pressure
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

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

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

Avery’s POV I stood before the mirror checking out the dress I chose to wear, it looked so elegant. Debby mentioned Liam ordered these clothing for me, which meant that he placed orders for his other mistresses. Sad though, but then I would make use of this opportunity to the fullest, that’s the decision I've made. Reaching for my purse at the side of the table I stepped out of my room, the aroma of waffles flowed into my nostrils. Instantly my craving for it became intense.I climbed down the stairs hurriedly and moved straight to the dining room. Unfortunately, Liam was sitting and having breakfast, “Good morning Liam,” I said before taking a seat two chairs away from him, this was another rule.He muttered something under his breath as a response, I really did not care about him right now. All I wanted was some waffles with maple syrup all over it. Maria quickly served me breakfast, it was a tray containing waffles, “yes waffles!” I exclaimed. Readjusting myself on the chair, “I

I've been working all day I literally forgot to eat lunch, Jason wasn't at the office he would have been the best person to bail me out.Suddenly, the kitchen door opened and Avery walked out beaming with smiles with a tray in her hands, it appeared she was helping Maria set up the table for dinner. Clearing my throat, “When did you start working in the kitchen Avery? I thought I ordered you not to continue with the punishment so what is this about? Maria, are you trying to defile my orders again?” I inquired sternly. Maria immediately bowed her head before saying, “Sir Liam, she chose to make dinner specially for you, I could not say no to my lady.” I moved my gaze from Maria to Avery who carefully placed the tray on the dining table before moving towards me. “Welcome home Liam, don't be so hard on Maria. I insisted on making you dinner since it has been

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.

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

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
