Bound By The Billionaires Contract 93: Seven Days To Prepare
Avery’s POVA month later I was sitting in Emma’s car while we drove towards the high court in the city, she kept glancing at me at intervals while massaging my hand slowly. I had a mixed feeling imagining how the whole event would unfold.Staring at the road ahead of me, the court building came into view as Emma drove into the parking lot. The last few weeks had been the best of my life, my bond with Emma and Jamal grew stronger as we spent more time together. Jamal showed me what it meant to truly care for someone, the baby has been growing rapidly, and I wasn't ready for an ultrasound since I would love the gender to be hidden until everything was over.Smiling, Emma inquired calmly, “Are you ready Avery?” staring at my friend I replied, “Let's do this!!”We both stepped out of the car happily and proceeded into the courthouse, suddenly I missed Jamal. He told us earlier he might not be able to make it for the trial, but surprisingly, he was sitting in the front row with a warm smi
Bound By The Billionaires Contract 94: When Hopes Fade
Avery’s POVThe case was adjourned for two weeks and finally, the witnesses came to court, but the funny thing was Lisa bailed on us last minute. It was quite obvious Liam got to her before we could, I could not believe it earlier when she stood in the witness box and attested to the fact that I was delusional. Tears threatened to flow from my eyes, but then I fought the tears back while sitting silently in the back seat. It all felt surreal when Liam gained another upper hand at the court today, Liam locked Maria up in the house and asked his bodyguards to prevent her from coming out. Despite everything I tried I could do little, Liam kept making it look like I was truly insane. Right now, I don’t even know whom to trust anymore or what to say. My mind felt numb as Emma kept stealing glances at me while Jamal stopped the car at the company. She had some business to take care of, “Avery, please don't look so pale, it would be fine. Eat something when you get home, I will rush up w
Bound By The Billionaires Contract 95: A Moment Of Peace
Avery’s POVMy body relaxed in Jamal’s muscular hands, sobbing profusely in his arms he did not interfere all he did was stroke my back slowly. After a while of crying, he finally said, “Ave, you are a strong and beautiful woman but at this moment, any woman would feel the same way. You have been hiding your emotions for too long, it's okay to be weak at times but don't stay weak for too long. Your life has been full of roller coasters, but I'm certain you will win this case because you deserve to live a happy life.” Staring into his emerald green eyes my heart began beating frantically against my rib cage, It suddenly felt hot in his arms. “Please let me go, Jamal, I feel like laying on the bed.” I said softly trying to escape from his arms. He carefully guided me to the bed with his right arm wrapped protectively around my waist, it felt so safe being in his arms. “Are you comfortable?” Jamal asked softly while he propped the pillow carefully under my head. Smiling I replied, “

Liam’s POV“Thank you, Barrister Josh, I never thought it would be this easy to rip her apart. The social media plan you came up with worked magic, Avery already lost this case. I'm patiently waiting for her to come back crawling on her knees.” I laughed loudly while sitting in the back seat of my car.While Jason and Barrister Josh sat in front, “Mr. Liam she was supposed to know that going against you would be a huge problem, I don't know why women of this century constantly try to do things the hard way. Why would your pregnant wife go through so much stress just trying to leave you?” Josh asked calmly.My eyebrow furrowed instantly, “What are you insinuating? If you don't have anything better to say keep your mouth shut.”Suddenly, my phone rang in my pocket reaching for it, I answered the call, “Hello grandpa, How are you doing?”“Liam what is this I'm seeing online? What's happening between you and your wife Avery? Divorce, really? I want to see you in the estate right now!!” he

Liam’s POVThe room felt air tight suddenly, How did he find out about everything? I've been underestimating my grandparents for too long, What do I do now? I asked myself silently.There was dead silence in the room as I tried to say something, but it came out barely above a whisper,“Yes! go on say the rubbish you want to say from your mouth, I'm so disappointed in you Liam. I trained you to be a better gentleman to your wife, How can you stand in court and fight with your pregnant wife? Knowing very well you have been a terrible husband to her in the past three years. The one thing she asked you to protect, you lost it, you think I would not find out that you neglected Avery’s mom, and she disappeared from the hospital where she was admitted? My private investigator filled me in on everything and until now you are still searching for her.”My mouth dropped open as I went down on my knees in front of my grandfather, “I'm sorry, it was never my intention to bring shame to the family’
Bound By The Billionaires Contract 98: The Final Hearing
Avery’s POVA week later it was the day of the final hearing, my heartbeat was fast although the last few days had been crazily great. My phone kept ringing non-stop, strangers kept calling my phone affirming that they would testify openly in court.The last hearing we had two days ago was a disaster for Liam as he kept trying to cook up more lies, but the Judge silenced him and his lawyer.Strangers who saw how he treated me terribly in public promised to tell the truth in court before the judge. Lisa and Derby fled but were apprehended by detectives before they could leave the country.I was both eager and nervous to hear the Judge’s final ruling. Suddenly, there was a soft knock on my door, “I will be out in a few minutes.” I yelled from the shower.Quickly I cleaned my skin gently with my all-time favorite, Lavender shower gel then turned off the water faucet after bathing, before walking out of the bathroom. There was no one in my room, I wondered who must have knocked on the doo

Liam’s POV“Don’t fucking tell me to calm down Jason, you have just one job to do bring down those hashtags in favor of Avery and silence those witnesses who want to appear in court and testify against me. Is this too much, huh?” I thundered smashing a figurine on my table. Laura flinched on the chair, “Mr. Liam we would try our best to make sure this case is ruled in your favor. We would make sure those witnesses don't appear in court on the appointed day.” Jason said with quivering lips. “If you make me do your job for you, I don’t think there would be any position left for you in the company after all this. Now get out of my sight!! Go and make yourself useful.” Jason instantly walked towards the door briskly but stopped abruptly, he turned around with so much fear evident in his eyes. “Mr. Liam, there is one more thing I forgot to say.” I looked at him with so much disgust before saying, “Go on…” “The investors and directors are withdrawing their investments and the endorseme

Avery’s POVImmediately we got to the court, I tried to block off the tingling sensation I felt in the places where Jamal’s lips and hand had been. “Are you ready?” he asked, jolting me from my thoughts.“Yes, I am,” I retorted before stepping out of the car. He always held the door for me since I first met him during an art exhibition.He held me close as there were so many reporters outside the gate, thankfully they were given a restraining order not to enter into the court premises. Suddenly, my eyes caught Liam walking briskly towards us from the parking lot, I sighed heavily, wishing he would be intercepted by someone he was familiar with.Unfortunately, he got to us, I stared at his face which had an evil smirk on it. I knew he was up to no good and the truth was I was not even in the mood to exchange words with him, I listened carefully to the rubbish he spewed from his mouth.I brushed past him, holding Jamal’s hands tightly since I could feel the rage coursing through his bod
