Bound By The Billionaires Contract 57: Innocently
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

Avery’s POV Sitting by the window while the plane glided through the clouds for some reason I felt so elated when I woke up this morning. The conversation with Jamal yesterday made me so happy, I could not remember the last time I felt so delighted. Emma patted my hand softly, “Are you okay, Avery? You have been smiling since we boarded the plane, did something happen yesterday while I was away? I noticed you were so joyful yesterday when I returned from my meeting, it was almost like the Avery I left was not the same person I met when I returned.” she inquired while arching her brows suspiciously.Blushing sheepishly, I tugged a strand of my hair that was dangling in my face behind my ear, “Nothing really happened Emma, I just had a good time yesterday. After the games we played I felt a lot better and staying at home all day with Jamal, we spoke about a few things. Surprisingly, we had similar experiences.” I said quickly when I realized I was already spilling too much. Emma smil

Avery’s POVJamal received a phone call, but he refused to answer it instead he dialed another number. “Good afternoon Doc, I’m at the hospital. I wanted to confirm if you are around.” he said politely. Straining to listen to his conversation with the doctor but the only thing I got to hear was, “Okay, Alright sir, we are on our way.” Smiling at me, he reconfirmed, “Are you ready for this Ave? You know we can always leave. Then you can go on and live your life the way you want to.” Sighing, I replied for the third time, “Jamal I'm ready I already gave you my word, and I'm not going back on it. Let's get this test done.” He looked at me softly before leading the way, and we arrived at a sophisticated office on the third floor. Thankfully there was an elevator so it helped with the fatigue I was already experiencing. Jamal knocked on the door once before turning the door knob. A middle-aged man was sitting behind his PC with a cup of coffee on his table, immediately he saw Jamal,

Liam’s POVMy alarm blared on my phone, searching carefully around my pillow I found the mobile phone and turned it off. Exhaling sharply I got up from bed and moved towards the bathroom to take a leak, I resolved to take a quick bath. Staring at the mirror while I shaved I realized in two days I looked way older than my actual age, Laura’s gimmicks were seriously getting to me. Brushing the sad thought aside, I decided to focus on my life now since I closed one of the biggest deals in my career and everything was working smoothly. I chose to stay positive. After I was through shaving I washed up and left the bathroom with my favorite towel wrapped around my waist. Staring at myself in the mirror I loved what I saw, there was no need to look defeated when I was born to be a winner. “You are in control of your life Liam Livingstone, no one is going to take that away from you.” I said looking at my reflection in the mirror. I applied some cologne after I got dressed. Likewise, I re

Avery’s POVEmma’s driver pulled the car into Liam’s Mansion, immediately Maria rushed out of the mansion with two other maids to help me with my suitcase. I held my purse fully aware that the pregnancy result was tucked away neatly inside, “Welcome back my lady, I missed you so much.” Beaming I retorted, “Thank you, Maria, I missed you too, How have you been?” “I have been a little bored without you around, but I'm fine now. Let's go inside. I made your favorite, Pasta and tomato sauce.” her smile was enchanting. It felt good to be back at home. Walking briskly into the mansion we climbed the stairs heading straight to my room. Shockingly my heartbeat increased when I walked past Liam’s study. This question kept ringing in my heart. What would be his reaction towards me now that I'm no longer useful to him? “Thank you, Maria, I got something for you. When I'm done taking a warm bath and arranging my clothes I would come downstairs with the stuff I got. Is Liam at home?” I asked c

Avery’s POVStanding up abruptly, Maria bowed slightly before walking out of my room, Liam’s countenance was not so good. He looked a little stressed out probably from work or personal issues. “Good afternoon Liam, Welcome home.” I said calmly while adjusting myself on the bed. I felt a slight discomfort in my lower abdomen, looking at me squarely he replied, “You don't look so bad, it seems like your trip to Paris made you look a lot better which is good. So how was your trip?” I was shocked at first when he inquired, but I quickly snapped out of it, “It was good, Emma chose the best materials, and she said to inform you that your closet would be ready in two days.” I replied briefly since I wasn’t comfortable being around him. It felt so weird being in the same space with someone this toxic when I spent more than three days with Jamal. Suddenly he asked, “Why is your scarf not tied around your neck? Did you go on and on blabbing about everything you go through in the marriage to

Liam’s POVAvery glowed differently since she returned from her trip, she was no longer afraid of me nor was she scared to talk back at me. Did I make a mistake in approving her trip with Emma? It was only done for my selfish interest, but then it turned out to work for Avery’s good. Sighing I tossed around on my bed, I tried to sleep, but then I could not. I had a terrible nightmare again about Avery’s mom. Since that day I went to the hospital and found her room empty, I've continually experienced this horrible nightmare. Wiping off the beads of sweat that formed on my forehead I reached for my phone, scrolling through the phone I searched for a private detective's number. I sent a message requesting a detailed explanation of his findings in the last month. Since no one knew about it and Avery had been obeying my every command I decided to keep the secret of her mom’s disappearance, but then my grandmother just had to mention it in the presence of my grandfather. I know Avery mu

Avery’s POVMy health was slowly deteriorating, and I found it difficult to consume anything since my morning sickness suddenly grew worse. “Baby, Don’t you want mummy to eat?” I whispered while stroking my stomach. Suddenly, there was a soft knock on my door, I stood up from my bed and unlocked the door for Maria. I started locking my door since Laura walked into my room two days ago to call me names and ridicule me. For a week now she has been constantly visiting Liam, and they have not stopped making me look like a loser, my mind, and resolve had grown stronger to leave Liam. I was just trying to develop a good plan, “Good morning my Lady, you don't look good. Should I call the doctor for you?” she inquired. I cringed at the mention of the doctor since I was very much aware of the fact that the doctor was a close friend of Liam, and he would not agree to keep the fact that I was pregnant a secret. I was not ready to risk the life of my baby for anything.Instantly I said, “No Ma
