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
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
Liam’s POV Walking into the sitting room the aroma from the kitchen was mind-blowing my stomach started rumbling immediately. 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
Avery’s POV“My lady, don't feel sad about it. I'm certain Sir Liam did not mean it that way, he would come around. Let's prepare the dining table.” Maria said to cheer me up, but it was of no use.Liam has a way of reminding me that I was a nobody to him, it hurts. Every time he does that I feel like a part of me is stolen away, now I sense that my life is coming back together to the original form he tossed it back into the garbage can.“It's fine Maria, Liam won’t eat from the food I prepared. But you can share it among the domestic staff if there are any leftovers, let’s eat.” I stated calmly. Maria declined immediately, “No, my Lady, it is wrong for me to eat with my employers on the dining table. Pardon me, but I'm certain Sir Liam would change his mind if I convinced him.” Sighing, I slowly massaged my forehead, “Yes you can go, I would just sit here and wait for you to convince Liam.” Maria turned around abruptly, walking away from the dining room.My gaze rested on a maid w
