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. L
Avery’s POVTwo days passed, Jamal had been so busy with work I guess, but then I was quite eager to know about his career. Emma has been occupied with sorting out materials and making sure everything is complete in preparation for making Lima’s clothes. I've been helping out in ways that I could but then my heart was never at peace, I hid the pregnancy strip test kit in my suitcase so no would see it. The only person aware that I purchased it was Jamal, and he barely even looked at me that day while we were having lunch at the restaurant. He must have someone else in his life now, it was still quite weird for me to know that Jamal was this affluent, and yet, he was following me around a couple of weeks ago at Liam’s afterparty. Sighing, I sat on my bed with my legs dangling on the edge.I had mixed feelings since everything was so odd, my heart aches I've been trying to call Liam, but my calls have been going straight to voicemail something was wrong and I could tell. But the pr
Liam’s POV“Laura, why are you constantly trying to make me plead to have you?” I inquired, feeling frustrated. There was no Avery for me to take out my frustration on, so Laura was the only one I could call to satisfy my desire. Sighing, she replied, “You know what you are supposed to do Liam, I want you so bad, but you keep putting some stupid rules just because of Avery. She is not even around, probably she is even having the best time of her life with another man somewhere, and you are here trying to respect her. I would not let you into my house if you don't take me to your house and that's final, Liam.” she stated furiously. Hitting my hands against my steering wheel, this was already a lost cause, so I decided to play by her rules just today afterward I would look for a way to stop her from making the rules around here. Exhaling sharply, I retorted, “Get dressed I'm taking you to my mansion, Are you happy now?” Giggling on the other end of the call, “Thank you so much, Liam
Liam’s POV“Nana! Nana is here!” I exclaimed sharply before shutting the door. I quickly moved towards my wardrobe and wore a shirt on my denim shorts. Shutting the wardrobe I hurriedly said, “Laura stand up put on your clothes and take your shoes with you there is a door behind that portrait it may be a little dark but keep walking down, and you will get to my study. Stay there and don't make a sound hide behind the shelf, when my grandmother leaves I will get you okay.” Her countenance suddenly dropped, “Why must I keep hiding every time? Is your grandmother not aware that I'm your mistress, huh? I mean, we have been going to all your award ceremonies together, and I'm always standing elegantly by your side. So she must have seen a picture or video of us right? I'm not going anywhere, my body feels numb after the rigorous activity we just finished. I would stay here in your room and rest.” Laura retorted firmly, snuggling further into the covers.This is another daft woman the ra
Author’s POV “Ugh!!” Those stupid cobwebs she said while walking through the passage, How could Liam treat me in such a demeaning way after everything I've done to be with him? I can’t believe I've been so foolish, thinking that he loves me. But if he doesn't, then why is he always coming back to me every time I leave him? Is this really about the sex? Do I truly mean nothing more than a whore who satisfies his sexual urges? I went as far as getting plastic surgery to enhance my curves and boobs but still, it was not enough to lock him in. Sighing, Laura ran her finger through her hair which was messy due to the sex they had earlier, How could I give so much for this man and in return he would not do the same? I broke the heart of the only man I've ever loved just to get closer to Liam, he is so brutal and aggressive when he gets turned on, but I keep up with his shit. She thought sadly.No… no… I won’t be at the losing end of this relationship, Liam would not toss me like trash w
Avery’s POV With the spotlight on me, I had a tough time adjusting to the numerous stares I got from people around me. Emma tried to calm me down, but it was futile, coupled with the fact that I was expecting, “Emma, please can you take me to the restroom, I need to calm down It's getting difficult to breath.” I whispered in her ears. Nodding slightly she signaled to Sheila so she could keep an eye on her purse, standing up elegantly we made our way to the restroom. It was as magnificent as the hall where the runway was held. Emma looked at me with concern in her eyes, “Avery, do you want to go back home? You know you don’t have to stay here for so long, I can actually drive you back to the resort if you ask me to.” I felt guilty for making her feel this way, “No Emma I'm not so used to getting numerous stares, it's been so long since I last attended a fashion week, and was the center of attraction for so many. I just need to unwind, it would be terrible if I let you miss the fas
Avery’s POVWe got to an exquisite restaurant since Jamal sponsored another dinner date, but this time around Khloe and Shelia did not join us. Emma placed our orders, since I was feeling light-headed I ordered casserole and rice with toasted lobsters. This was my craving right now, which was weird as I had a seafood allergy. Glancing at Jamal, I saw how he kept staring at me, what made me more surprised was he did not take his eyes off me even while Emma was there. I grew uncomfortable under his gaze, so I decided to compliment him, “Mr. Jamal congratulations on your achievements, it would never have occurred to me that you were this affluent because you are always gentle and reserved.” I added casually but was trying to get his response so bad. Jamal cleared his throat with a warm smile on his face, damn! Those gorgeous green eyes that I would love to glance at every morning when I wake up. “Avery! Get your shit together.” I screamed in my head.“I’ve never been a fan of braggin
