Avery’s POVThe beeping sound of the surrounding machines woke me up at midnight, my body felt numb as I tried to open my eyes, but then it was a difficult thing to do. Taking in a deep breath I shot my eyes open, and the bright light was blinding for a split second, but then my eyes adjusted to it quickly. My environment was different, but I felt drowsy to even think of anything right now. There was a weight resting on my left hand, so I stirred trying to pull it away, looking down I heard his voice, “How do you feel, Ave?” Blinking so hard my heart kept beating frantically against my rib cage as my face flushed lightly, he looked at me with so much love in his eyes and I tried to say something in response, but I felt a slight pain which made me winced. Standing up quickly, he hushed me, “You don’t have to say anything right now, what was I even thinking? Please go back to sleep, I'm here. I won’t leave you and the baby alone ever again.” Jamal said then leaned in and placed a sof
Avery’s POVIt had been the best two weeks of my life, and it was quite unbelievable as Jamal continued to show me so much care and affection, but then I could not forget the fact that it was about to get serious.Exhaling sharply I turned and met Jamal’s soft gaze resting on my face, “Jeez! Jamal, you startled me. Why are you staring at me like that?” I asked, trying to catch my breath. There have been many changes in my body and my emotions were all over the place.“I apologize for making you frightened, but you were so focused on your thoughts you failed to hear me call out to you. Are you okay now? Should I turn down the window if you seem out of breath?” he asked calmly.Nodding slightly, Jamal quickly pressed a button and the next minute the car was filled with fresh air. Taking in deep breaths I felt a lot better, I really can’t tell why, but I usually experience shortness of breath since I became ten weeks pregnant.Smiling at me, I replied politely, “It's not your fault my bo
Avery’s POVClutching my dress tightly I tried so hard to steady the rhythm of my heartbeat while Emma walked towards the couch with a warm smile on her face, How could I be betrayed in this manner? How could Jamal do this to me? So they have been together all this while, and he continually made advances towards me, Ohh Avery, How pitiful! I thought silently.Emma comfortably took her seat on the couch after hugging Jamal briefly, my heart was so broken I longed to rip them apart. Was this how Jamal felt every time he saw me with Liam? I know I'm supposed to be happy for my friends, but then envy took the better part of my heart presently.“Oh, Avery! How have you been? I apologize for not coming to check on you at the hospital lately. You will understand why when Jamal tells you everything you need to know.” she said calmly but then her words pierced my heart fast. How did I not put the puzzle pieces together? They must be getting married soon, Emma and Jamal walking down the aisle I
Avery’s POV Adjusting myself on the couch I tightened my grip on my purse, it felt weird knowing that everyone in this room right now was here to help me win against Liam Leon Galloway. The man I got married to and believed was supposed to protect me from the world, but Liam turned out to be the one who hurt me the most.Brushing off the thought I paid rapt attention to the lawyer sitting opposite me, “Good morning Miss Avery, it's a pleasure to finally meet you. Mr. Jamal contacted me a few weeks ago, but we had to reschedule when he related to me that you were sick, so how are you feeling now?” he inquired calmly, but there was an underlying tone of authority in his voice. “I'm better now, thanks for asking!” I replied politely. Clearing his throat he said, “So let's get down to the business for the day, My name is Barrister Micheal, and I am a divorce lawyer, Mr. Jamal already gave me a debrief about your case with your husband and your willingness to terminate your marriage. Am
Avery’s POVFour days later I sat on my couch feeling so frustrated and weary mentally, although I have been actively searching for evidence and Emma has been quite helpful in reaching out to some of Liam’s ex-girlfriends. They were angry he left them for Laura, one lady called Lisa was ready to destroy him even if that was the last thing she could do.Unfortunately, it was not incriminating enough, I glanced at the brown envelope sitting comfortably on my dressing table.I went through every statement and picture evidence last night I could barely sleep a wink, thankfully Jamal called to check on me, and he ended up telling me a bedtime story which helped me relax and I slept off.Sighing I caressed my small baby bump, it was becoming visible, but then I knew the right clothes to put on whenever I was leaving my room. Reclining into the chair I recalled how delightful Maria was when I returned to the house, she kept beaming with smiling and checking my body to make sure I wasn't goin
Avery’s POVAn hour passed and Maria did not return to my room, I was getting worried and dizzy since I did not observe my afternoon nap. Standing up from the couch I resolved to check on her but the door opened suddenly, then Maria walked into my room holding a small bag. “Sorry my lady I took so much time, I was trying to search for the bag since I kept it hidden in the food store.” My eyes widened food store, What was in the bag that Maria kept? I became curious as I went back to the couch, Maria carefully placed the bag on the table in front of me and took her seat. “My Lady I don’t know if you are prepared for this, but this bag contains everything you need to win against Sir Liam, go on check the content afterward I will explain how I have this in my possession?” she stated firmly I wondered if it was the same Maria who was always so calm. Staring at her one last time I reached for the bag on the table, my heartbeat slightly increased, but I was still trying to keep my cool.
Liam’s POVI watched Laura sleep peacefully in my arms in the hotel suite, it had been the best three weeks of my life. Laura undeniably knew how to pleasure me, having sex in the bathtub, kitchen, bedroom, name it! Even in my car when I had a scene, she was everything a man would ever wish for.Thankfully, the last argument we had did a good reset to her brain since then she has not mentioned anything about my family background in our conversations. Suddenly, I felt safe knowing this as she stirred in my arms and snuggled closer against my chest, instantly I felt my hard-on under the covers.Damn! She was like an electrifying force by my side, I don't think I would ever get tired of her sexiness. Exhaling sharply I reached for my phone, scrolling through my call logs there was no text or missed call from Avery.She certainly grew some balls over these last few weeks, I fumed on the inside thinking of the best way to get her to become submissive once again.Sighing I checked the time,
Avery’s POVI woke up feeling tensed just knowing Liam would be back from his trip today, it was enough reason for me to feel nauseous. Quickly I got down from my bed and ran into the bathroom, holding my stomach I retch in the sink.Washing my mouth afterward I had a quick bath since today was the day I had an appointment with Barr. Micheal. Unfortunately, Jamal would be quite busy today so I’m going with Emma. I booked a ride and was notified when the driver arrived, taking one last look at myself in the mirror I walked out of my room holding my Louis Vuitton bag.It was one of the gifts I cherished when Liam got it for me as my birthday gift, sighing I almost bumped into Maria. “Good morning my Lady, won’t you stay for breakfast?” she inquired softly.Smiling said, “No Maria I would have brunch instead, I don't feel so good I'm still feeling nauseous. Wish me luck I'm meeting my lawyer today.”She grinned and pulled me into a warm hug, “It would be successful.” Maria replied. One o
