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
Author’s POVAt Mr. Cashmere’s Residence, he was so furious listening in on Avery’s and Liam’s conversation. Jamal felt so infuriated, he felt like punching Liam until he bled through every opening in his body. How dare Liam lay a finger on Avery?Letting out a loud groan he threw a figurine at the wall and suddenly began pacing around the room he tried to think of the possible way he could help Avery right now.Everything in him screamed to take her away from Liam’s residence and bring her over to his house where she would be safe, but then he knew Avery would not be okay with the idea.“Shit!! For how long would you allow that piece of trash hold you in such a way?” he said with so much pain in his eyes.He recalled how Avery was treated like a princess while her father was still alive, Avery was the talk of town. Every woman wanted to live her life Avery, had everything at her beck and call, it was still shocking for Jamal to watch from afar how much Avery tolerated Liam.It still
Liam’s POVLaura shrieked before saying, “We are finally going to Hollywood baby, no more Avery or Emma Addams trying to come between us. 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. This was one of the most expensive stores in the city, and she was not even trying to go slow with the things she was purchasing.Jason’s last advice rang in my ears, “The account is low Mr. Liam, we need to cut down on expenses.” Exhaling sharply I was trying my best to please Laura I just hope this would end in a good way, not to worry after this new movie is out I would make tons of millions that would cover up these lapses. I said quietly to myself to give me some sor
Avery’s POVI woke up feeling frail and tired, my body ached terribly. Trying to move my body on the bed, but the pain was unbearable, “Ahh!!” I screamed as a sharp pain shot through my body.Tears stung my eyes while I pulled myself upward and slowly propped a pillow behind my back. A ray of sunlight pierced through the window illuminating my room but then my body was a wreck.Slowly everything that happened yesterday flooded my mind, I recalled barely eating anything as I kept throwing up. Liam’s words had a huge impact in altering my mood throughout the day. Maria tried to make me eat some more, but it was useless as my mind was not at rest.Exhaling sharply I placed my hands on my stomach slowly caressing it. I said softly, “I'm sorry, baby, mommy is an emotional wreck right now. Please hang on, I will get us something to eat.”My eyes glistened for a moment imagining how long the journey to my freedom was, there was a soft knock on my door and Maria walked in afterward with a war
Avery’s POVThe room suddenly felt stuffy, and I found it difficult to breathe, clutching my chest as tears rolled down my eyes I muttered, “Please open the windows, Maria.”She quickly placed the breakfast tray on my table and walked to the windows unlocking them, immediately the cool wind filled the room I felt my muscles relaxed, but it did little to ease my bleeding heart.I buried my face in my hands while I sobbed uncontrollably, everything was exhausting. Liam precisely has a way of pushing me to the edge and leaving me to die in the darkness that lurks around.Maria wrapped her arms around me and pulled me into a bear hug, “My Lady everything will be fine, please stop crying, your body is still so weak crying would only make your health worse.” she whispered calmly while stroking my back slowly.My throat felt patchy as tears streamed down my eyes, I could not think of anything to say right so I decided to rest my head on her shoulders and allow the tears freely. After some mi
Liam’s POVPacing around my room I felt uneasy after seeing Avery that way this morning, I was a mess when I got home yesterday. Laura called my phone non-stop, but I was already tired of being a puppet in her hands, she should do whatever she likes but then after the warning I gave her yesterday, she would think twice before making a foolish decision.Slumping in my chair I had my bath immediately but then I could not forget the mess I created yesterday when I returned from the lounge. I drank too much that I puked on my body and even slept on my vomit. If I was still in Avery’s good books, she would have cleaned me up and even washed my shirt afterward.Sighing I ran my fingers through my hair, this was too much for me to handle. My phone kept vibrating on the table in my study, reaching for it, I quickly answered the call. “Good morning, Jason, What is it this time?” I asked calmly.Exhaling sharply, he replied, “Good morning Mr. Liam, I apologize for disturbing you this faithful m
Liam’s POV Laura kept whining and grinning widely as the plane took off into the air, the sight of the clouds surrounding the airplane in the sky was beautiful and peaceful at the same time. But for some weird reason, my mind wasn’t at rest. Leaving Avery by herself in the house I wasn't even sure what her plan was. Sighing I adjusted myself on the seat while reaching for my iPad, “Babe you don't look so good, Is there a problem? Are you feeling sick? Did Avery do something to piss you off again?” she said calmly while caressing my chest softly. Shrugging my shoulder lightly I pushed her hands from my chest before saying, “People are watching Laura, stop this. I'm just a little stressed from everything that has been going on recently. My mind is occupied with a lot.” Her countenance suddenly became elated, and I was confused for a minute, Is she okay up there? I asked myself silently. Smiling Laura said calmly, “Babe you have me here to make all your worries disappear, I'm go
Avery’s POVThe next day I tried standing up from my bed, but it was mission impossible as my legs felt wobbly and my lower abdomen hurt so much I clutched my stomach, but then I knew if I kept being so weak and frail Maria would get the family doctor which was the last thing I wanted right now.Moaning loudly, I forced my body out of the bed and held on to the armchair to support my legs, “Avery, you can do this, enough of being weak and useless for the past two days.” I whispered while taking deep breaths.I walked to the bathroom and filled up the tub with cold water to a reasonable level. Afterward, I lay down in the tub and allowed the cold water to heal up my tensed muscles, I literally breathed out, “My goodness!”Although the water became so cold suddenly I wanted to relax more in it. After spending some minutes in the tub, I stepped out and wrapped the towel around my chest protectively, curiosity got the better part of me and I slowly pulled off the towel from my chest.Stan
