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

Avery’s POV “My lady! My Lady!” I heard Maria’s voice while I tried to open my eyes again. She kept shaking my shoulders rigorously trying to wake me up, it was hard but then I followed the trail of her voice and woke up suddenly gasping for breath. Maria quickly pulled me up and propped the pillow behind my head carefully, “My Lady, How are you feeling?” she inquired carefully while dabbing my forehead with a napkin soaked in warm water. I opened my mouth to reply but then my voice came out barely above a whisper when suddenly my teeth started chattering uncontrollably. Instantly I knew the cold water bath I had worsened my health situation, my lower abdomen hurt terribly, but I ignored it at first. “Water! I need water, Maria.” I forced myself to say when suddenly I experienced a splitting headache. Holding my head in my hands, I winced in pain, Maria was as confused as a one-year-old trying to watch the news, “My lady what can I do to help?” she asked in a hoarse tone, running

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

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

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

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
