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
Liam’s POV“Stop right there, Laura, How dare you walk out on me? I said stop right there.” I added yanking her hair to make I stay put.“Ouch!” she yelped, wincing in pain. I felt sorry seeing that I hurt her but then no one dared to disobey me, not in my house. “When do you start disobeying me, Laura? I'm asking you a fucking question, speak up.” I snapped while she was nursing her scalp. Laura shot me a death glare and said,“This is no way to treat a woman you claim to love Liam, I'm not Avery who takes shit from you, I would never let you treat me with no regard.” she spat out with so much hate while tears slowly streamed down her cheeks. I felt a sense of remorse, but I needed to instill fear in her so she would not try something that stupid again. Clearing my throat I replied, “And what makes you different from Avery? If I could do that to my wife, why can’t I do it to you.” Her countenance suddenly darkened as she stood staring into my eyes, “What did I do wrong, Liam? Tel
Avery’s POVA soft knock on the door woke me up from sleep, yawning and stretching out on the bed I said, “Come in the door is opened.” while adjusting my night dress. Emma walked into my room with the brightest smile plastered on her face, she looked so gorgeous in her cashmere skirt and shirt. “Good morning, sleepy head,” she teased while she opened the curtains. The sun cast a beautiful reflection all over my room, “Ouch! Emma! I planned to sleep for at least two more hours since we made us play catch at the beach yesterday.” I wailed trying to close my eyes while she started laughing. “We all had fun Avery, and it was a good way to lighten up your mood after everything that happened after the show. How do you feel now?” she asked while sitting close to me. I sat up on the bed and placed my hands gently on my thigh, “Thanks to you Emma I feel a lot better, talking to you about what happened helped in lifting the burden I've carried inside for so long. I'm grateful I have a frie
Avery’s POVAdjusting myself on the chair I cocked my head sideways, “So are you investigating me now Jamal or Are you a secret reporter?” I teased. His countenance suddenly dropped, “No that's not it Ave, I'm just concerned that’s all. Why would I do something as stupid as that.” I could not help but laugh heartily at the fact that he was fooled by my question. “Oh Jamal, you are still so easy to prank, even a two-year-old would prank you and go scot-free. I was only joking, I know you mean well. You have proven that time and time again, If there is anyone who hurt you it would be me.” I replied softly while staring at him. Gosh! He is still as handsome as ever, Jamal looked better than Liam in a thousand ways. But it's too late to count my losses, “So back to your question Jamal, unfortunately, the test strip was positive. I'm pregnant Jamal with Liam’s baby wishing I was not. The truth is I don't even know what to do, I'm nonetheless quite indecisive about keeping it or letting
Liam’s POVPacing around my study I tried to take deep breaths in calming myself down. I looked at the message on my phone and placed the phone back on the table. How did she request such an outrageous amount? I need more than enough money to make my trip to Hollywood more smooth. Reaching for my phone, I was caught between calling Nana or Laura, maybe if I spoke to either of them I would be able to sort myself out. Why would Laura do something this heartless to me? Sighing, I moved closer to the mini bar and got myself a glass of whiskey, gulping the entire content in the glass to calm my nerves it felt like my chest was burning up. “Aaargh!!!” Hitting the glass on the table forcefully I thought it was going to shatter, but thankfully it was still intact. Suddenly, there was a knock on my door, “Come in,” my voice sounded so hoarse. Maria walked into my study with her head slightly bowed. I was really not in the mood to have any long conversation, but then I would always make an
