Bound By The Billionaires Contract 65: Seeking Solace
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

Avery’s POVThe clock was ticking away on the wall while Liam stood there staring at me, I grew uncomfortable under his intense gaze. “Did you just insult me, Avery? Are you trying to say my questions are stupid?” he asked, taking long strides towards me.For some reason, I was already tired of running away or begging Liam, so I stood there waiting for him to do his worst, but I would make sure to save my baby from his hits. Staring at him without flickering my eyelashes I noticed he stopped abruptly a few inches away from me, gritting his teeth he ran his finger through his hair aggressively.Exhaling sharply he turned around and paced for some minutes before looking at me, “So you are no longer scared of me, right, What did you discuss with Emma Addams on your trip to Paris? I'm certain you said some things to her because there is this different aura around you since you returned from that trip, I just can’t place it, but I will very soon. You are mine, Avery!! I own you so keep bei

Liam’s POV Standing in front of Avery’s door, I suddenly recalled everything that happened yesterday when she returned from my grandmother's house.……..My heart kept thumping loudly in my chest while Avery climbed the stairs, I felt intense guilt for the first time in a long while. She was in severe pain I could tell from the look in her eyes, it seemed like I suddenly realized everything I had been doing to Avery. The sad thing was I could not take any of it back and now Laura is ready to do anything to stay in my life, it's quite obvious she would not hesitate to tell the truth about my background. Sighing I slumped on the sofa, my head was slowly spinning. Earlier today, the private detective whom I contracted with emailed me informing me about the dead end in his recent search around the hospital. This was so bad, the one reason why Avery decided to sign the contract without looking back. I failed to take good care of her. How terrible can I be? I was still deep in thoughts,

Avery’s POVMy pupils dilated due to the rage I felt in my body right now, staring at Liam I tried to fathom what he said a few minutes ago. My mom was no longer in the country or was I hearing things now?Wrapping my hands around my body I shook my head sideways trying to get my emotions in control, “What do you mean by, my mother was flown to India to get treatment from a specialist? I hope you are joking Liam, just tell me it's one of those pranks you love to pull.” I said in a low tone.Sighing he looked towards the window and retorted, “It's not a big deal Avery, I was only trying to keep my promise to you Or was it such a terrible thing for me to give your mother the best treatment? You better pull yourself together and learn to accept the fact that she is not in this country. If you behave properly, then I might arrange for flight tickets so you could pay her a visit.”I could not really understand at first, was he trying to make me figure out that he did me a favor by sending

I love you so much babe, I love you so much.”Laura’s lips tasted so good as I pulled her closer to my body while we were in the store, “I love you too Laura.” I paused after making that statement it felt surreal since I did not mean to imply it, but then I wanted to please Laura.Breaking free from her hold we continued shopping, Laura kept on selecting and my heartbeat increased.

Avery’s POVI heard footsteps approaching while I moved cautiously on the chair, “Who do we have here? 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
Bound By The Billionaires Contract 118: Shocking Truth
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

Avery’s POV Two weeks later, I glanced at the handsome young man driving me to the studio. 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
