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
Avery’s POV Jamal silently drove us to my favorite restaurant, I felt so frail after staying hungry for so long and crying profusely. I stared out the window blankly while Emma held my hand gently massaging it, he parked carefully and turned off the ignition. Emma held me as we made our way into the restaurant with Jamal walking briskly ahead of us, a chaperone ushered us to the VIP session, and we had our seats comfortably. Jamal placed our orders, I requested a bowl of chicken noodle soup with marinated crab and lobster. My cravings were spiked when I saw someone having marinated crab and lobster while walking into the VIP session, “What?” I asked with my eyes when Jamal gaped at my order. He kept his mouth shut while we waited for our order, Emma was always a light eater she ordered pasta and chicken nuggets. The waiter served our orders specifically and bowed slightly before walking towards the kitchen. The food was so tasty I wanted more. Lately, I realized I'm always wantin
Avery’s POVThe next day,Caressing my baby bump slowly, I paced around my room trying to calm my nerves, Maria left my room a while ago to check on Laim and Laura since I planned to leave the house to attend a meeting with Barrister Micheal at his office.Sighing I could not get my emotions under control, massaging my neck with my right hand I recalled how Maria saved me yesterday from Liam’s wrath. It still baffles me how she tactfully got him distracted with his Nana and I slowly slipped away from the sitting room.Adrenaline coursed through my body just thinking of how much pain I longed to inflict on Liam and Laura, suddenly my door opened and Maria walked in bowing slightly, “The sitting room is clear My lady, It seems Sir Liam and Laura went for an early morning jog. You should go now before he comes back.” she said calmly.“Thank you so much, Maria, it might get messy from now. I would certainly repay your act of kindness.” I said softly before walking out of my room briskly.
Avery’s POVClutching the file so tight I tried to control my heartbeat while sitting in the back seat of Liam’s Mercedes, Emma stroked my back softly saying, “You can do this Avery, think of everything you have been through all the years you gave to Liam and what he rewarded you with, that should be your motivation.”Taking in a deep breath, I closed my eyes and allowed all the images and emotions of all the abuse, maltreatment, damage Liam inflicted in my heart. I knew instantly that Emma was right, “I would go inside now and get Liam to sign these papers. In twenty minutes, I will be out of his house.”I stepped out of the car walking into the mansion with a new sense of hope, this was the beginning of my fight with Liam Galloway. Avery, you got this! You can do this! I whispered, pushing the door open.Walking into the sitting room I met Maria serving Laura and Liam a bowl of fruit, “Babe there is this pair of shoes I want, scrolling through Instagram earlier I noticed all the mod
Liam’s POVImmediately Avery walked out of the sitting room leaving the divorce papers with me, I became frantic as Laura edged closer to me on the couch. “Babe, this is for the best, just sign the papers and forget that you made such a terrible mistake with Avery being your wife. Your life is going so well, simply settle things amicably with her, and then we can move further in our relationship.” she sounded so insensitive right now.“Laura, if you have nothing else to say can you please just keep your mouth shut and refrain from saying anything else? I think it would be best if you go back home for a few days.” I retorted sternly.Standing up from the couch, I paced around the sitting room, What did Avery mean by being pregnant with my child? I don’t make love to her regularly, so how did she end up pregnant for me? Diverse questions flooded my mind.Just like a flash I recalled the last night I felt aroused sexually and forced myself on her, I did not make use of any protection whi
Avery’s POV Breathing heavily while Jamal drove down to Emma’s house I was in so much pain but tried to hide it from Emma and Jamal. Emma continued to pat my back slowly saying, “It's alright Avery we are here for you,” I rested my head on her shoulders slowly and closed my eyes, right now, my priority is my baby and not Liam or anyone else. Suddenly, I thought of Nana, She would be so heartbroken to find out about everything that had been going wrong. After all these while and how I tried to keep this away from her, she would have to find out in such a cruel way as divorce headlines. My heart sank to the pit of my stomach as a tear streamed down my cheeks, I sobbed silently on Emma’s shoulders. At least I was not alone anymore I had Jamal and Emma with me. “We are here, Avery!” Emma said barely above a whisper while she dabbed my cheeks carefully. “Thank you, Emma.” I muttered before stepping out of the car. I stole a glance at Jamal and his countenance was so dark I cringed at
