Bound By The Billionaires Contract 61: True Intentions
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

Avery’s POVI staggered backward, but Maria held me closely, staying in that position for some seconds. I tried to process everything that was happening. Maria articulated, “Sir Liam I was the cause of everything, please punish me, Don’t punish my Lady.” Her voice was shaky as she stood in front of me, suddenly I felt a surge of adrenaline flow through my veins. “Maria step aside.” I said inaudibly. She quickly moved toward the kitchen staring at me with worry. I stood before Liam, “Do you know why I'm not so surprised? you are nothing but an irresponsible man. Who not only cheats on his wife with her ex-best friend but also hits his wife in the presence of his mistress. How shameful can you be Liam? I gave up my life for you following every stupid order you made without seeing anything wrong in it, feeding your ego watching you become more successful in your career while my life deteriorated. I blame myself for believing a lying selfish human being like you in the first place. Your

Liam’s POVDiverse thoughts flowed through my mind while Laura snuggled closer to me on the couch in the sitting room. What if Avery decided to tell Nana everything that has been going on? Why did she choose to go there today of all days? Is there a possibility that she is truly tired of this marriage? My head kept racing non-stop in my chest while I reclined into the chair, Laura looked up at me and slowly lifted her hands to my cheek. “Are you okay Liam? You look so pale and tired suddenly, Does this have anything to do with Avery going to your Nana’s house? Feigning a smile I replied, “I'm fine Laura, let’s just watch the series.” She looked displeased with my response but still managed to push the whole thing forward, “I know you are so afraid of your Nana but Why is that? She is not even your biological grandmother? So what is the fuss about?” her insensitive words echoed across the sitting room. Quickly I placed my right hand over her mouth in a bid to shut her up, “Do you

Avery’s POVShelia walked into Emma’s office immediately after knocking twice, “Sorry Miss Emma for interrupting you, but Mr. Jamal has been waiting outside your office for the past twenty minutes.” Sighing Emma stared at me for some minutes I nodded slightly knowing what she was requesting, and then she replied, “Ask him to come in,” Instantly Shelia smiled and bowed slightly before walking out of her office. “Are you sure about this Avery?” she asked inaudibly. I nodded slightly with a warm smile on my lips, “I will just excuse myself, Can I use your restroom?” I inquired calmly. “Yes, you can Avery.” I stood up quickly from the couch and walked briskly towards her restroom trying to avoid Jamal. Immediately, I opened the restroom door, he walked into Emma’s office. I quickly shut the door and leaned on it with my back, Jamal’s cologne filled the office and even the restroom where I was standing. My heart did not stop racing, I held my chest trying to calm myself, but it was fut
Bound By The Billionaires Contract 1: The Award
"Congratulations, Liam! You truly deserve it," the presenter beamed as she handed him the golden statuette, a glint of admiration in her eyes. My heart sank. Liam Leon Galloway, my contracted husband, the man who never loved me from the start, was now being celebrated on the grand stage of the 51st Annual Movie Academy Award. And there she was, that woman beside him, looking at him with such adoration, a smile that I know never for once belonged to me but neither to her. I clenched my fists, nails digging into my palms, trying to suppress the torrent of emotions threatening to overwhelm me. How did it come to this? The life I thought I had was crumbling before my eyes, replaced by a cruel reality I couldn't escape. Liam's speech echoed through the room, each word a dagger in my chest. "Thanking God," he said, his voice carrying across the screen. There was no God in my world, only an empty void that once held love and dreams. I wiped my tears angrily, trying to regain composure.
