Bound By The Billionaires Contract 40: Liam's Fury
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.

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

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.

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.

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

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
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
