Liam’s POVStorming out of Emma Addam’s office I tried to control my anger because the first thing that crossed my mind was to smack Avery across her face. What material was she talking about that could not be imported, and why should Avery go with her on this trip? These questions played through my mind and I concluded perhaps Avery told her so much about our marriage, and she was trying to look for a means to help Avery get to the authorities. My heart kept beating frantically in my chest, What if word gets out and I lose my career over that filth? Never!!! I screamed in my mind.Not after everything I've been through to build this empire I would not lose it because I decided to discipline my wife. And I would make sure she never leaves the house again, this is the last time Avery would step foot outside the mansion.Stepping on the accelerator I tried to block out the thoughts that were trying to ravage my mind, but then Avery had the guts to address me in the presence of Jason. I
Liam’s POV“Avery, Please open the door, I have something to say.” I requested after knocking for five minutes without any response. I stood there yet there was no response coming from Avery. I pushed the door open, and surprisingly, it gave way easily, my heartbeat increased when I checked around the room and there was no sign of anyone around. I called out, “Avery!” still no response that’s when I became afraid. What if she left? What would happen to my contract? No! No! Not when I have gotten my dream contract with Hollywood and all the benefits that would come with it. My head suddenly became overloaded with different thoughts and emotions running through it. Walking briskly out of her room into the hallway I collided with Maria, everything on her tray spilled on the ground. She carefully crouched and started placing everything back on the tray while I stood there and without helping her out I asked, “Have you seen Avery? I've been searching all over for her, but she is not in
Avery’s POVSitting on the floor, I propped my back against the wall as tears freely flowed down my cheeks, the rage flowing through my heart was intense. I hated my life so much, I regretted having a father who lost everything before he died, and my mother fell sick, leaving me all alone to fend for myself in this cruel world.I ended up falling prey in the wrong hands out of desperation to get my mother's medical bills, “Avery this is too much for you to handle!” I screamed in my head while I stood up, pacing around the room frantically. It's time to leave, you must leave, Liam!! He is not worth it, he doesn't even love you because if he felt an iota of love for you, he would never raise his hand against you, talk less of hitting you consistently. I have lived in perpetual fear in the last year, not knowing what my next punishment would be from the so-called man I gave up everything for. Looking around I decided not to take anything with me it would raise suspicion faster. I woul
Avery’s POVI took one last glance at myself in the mirror readjusting the shawl around my neck I felt sensitive to the temporary scar around my neck. It was quite visible, so I decided to wear a vintage shawl around my neck to avoid getting those weird stares and to hide this side of my marriage away from Miss Emma Addams.There was a gentle knock on the door before Liam walked into my room, smiling at me. I giggled as he slowly hugged me, “You look gorgeous my love, I feel like staying all day with you, but then you have to go which is quite painful.” Pulling away from him slowly, I replied, “I would be back in five days so you don't have to miss me so much. I promise to call you every day and give you updates on how my day went.” Holding my hands gently he said, “I'm sorry, baby you have to wear this shawl. I regret ever putting my hands around your neck if only I could turn back the hands of time. I promise never to lay my hands on you.” Placing a soft kiss on my forehead, Lia
Avery’s POVMy eyelids flickered uncontrollably as I looked down at my purse. How is it that Jamal just has a way of showing up every time? “Avery, this is Mr. Jamal, my co-partner in Emma Fashion House.” turning towards Jamal she said, “Mr. Jamal this is Mrs. Liam Galloway representing her husband on this trip.” Jamal stretched forth his palm, I gently placed my right hand on it then he placed a soft kiss on my hand. Quickly I jerked my hands from his palm, his lips did things to my mind I could not brush away. “Nice to meet you, Mrs. Liam.” “It's my pleasure.” I replied courteously. Emma cleared her throat, “It's time the Pilot is ready to fly, Shelia get my bag.” she instructed.Suddenly, a stunning woman walked into the room holding a folder in her hands, “Khloe oh you found it!” Jamal exclaimed while she handed the files over to him. Instantly I felt a sense of jealousy seeing how beautiful his girlfriend looked, what could be in that folder? It seemed pretty important to hi
Liam’s POV“Can you listen, Laura? I will never leave you, and I've missed you so much, my love. It has been two days of hell living with Avery in that house, I miss you. You are the one I want to be with right now but then there is a lot at stake, my contract, and relationship with Miss Emma Addams encountered a difficult time. So I have to please Avery. Unfortunately, she is the key to my success as a lead actor in this upcoming movie so be patient.” I whispered to Laura in my bathroom. Sobbing she replied, “It's hard not to speak to you for two days and not to see you too. Liam you promised to take me on a tour around the gallery, but then on the same day you decided to take your Wife to the beach. I felt so jealous seeing her pictures on Instagram, you even gave her the exact jewelry I've been asking you for. How can you be so cruel, Liam?” Her tears irritated me, but there was nothing I could do, I certainly had to be in her good books, so I pacified her. “I would definitely co
Avery’s POVThere was a soft knock on my room door, I stirred in my sleep as my eyelids flickered open. Emma Addams walked into the room holding a tray containing a cup of spearmint tea, with a smile on her face, “How do you feel now?” she inquired calmly.I tried to sit up while pulling the covers over my stomach, “I feel a lot better after taking a nap. I'm sorry for giving you a scare earlier on the plane, it's been so long since I last went on a trip, so this was all new for my body to take.” I said feeling guilty for making her panic.Recalling how Emma rushed into the restroom on the plane to check on me, she must have been afraid when I ran into the restroom. It was hard for me to stay still, so Emma helped me while I sat down behind, but then I caught Jamal stealing glances at me, but he refused to say a word to me.It felt hurtful, knowing how caring Jamal always behaved whenever I fell sick or had a hard time. My temperature suddenly increased as we moved towards the resort
Avery’s POVI was exhausted just moving around the materials sections of the mall, Emma was watching me closely but was not asking any questions. At intervals, I would take a seat to catch my breath, my face looked so pale, and I was tired, but then I searched around for a supermarket while we walked into the mall.Luckily, for me, I saw a supermarket, so I was looking for the perfect excuse to leave Emma but so far, I’ve not been able to come up with an interesting plan. Turning towards the door, I realized I was looking around for Jamal since he came with us but disappeared once we entered the mall. Exhaling sharply I felt the urge to use the restroom, moving quickly towards Emma I whispered to her. “Emma, please, I want to use the restroom.” She quickly turned around and was about to ask one of the sales reps for assistance, but I hurriedly intervened, “Don’t worry yourself I saw one down the hallway, I will be back soon okay.” I retorted softly before walking out of the shop.
