Bound To The Billionaire Chapter 49
AVAAs I sat in the living room, the ticking of the wall clock seemed louder than usual, each tick amplifying the tension in the air. I glanced at it for what felt like the hundredth time in the past few minutes. Any second now, my father would walk through the door, and I still didn’t know what to expect.Ever since I received his call a few days ago, I had been on edge. It wasn’t like my father to sound so desperate, to insist on meeting in person with such urgency. What could possibly be so important that it couldn't be discussed over the phone? I’d replayed the conversation in my head a thousand times, trying to discern any hidden meaning behind his words. But all I could sense was an underlying tension, something that didn’t sit well with me.The thought of seeing him again filled me with a mix of dread and reluctant anticipation. My mind raced as I tried to imagine what he could possibly want from me now. Had something happened to Isabella? My heart clenched at the thought. What

AVAThe dining room was unusually quiet, the only sounds coming from the clinking of silverware against fine china and the soft murmur of conversation from the other end of the table. I could feel the weight of Uncle John’s gaze on me, even before he spoke. My stomach twisted into knots as I anticipated the inevitable confrontation.“Ava,” Uncle John’s voice cut through the quiet, smooth yet edged with a sternness that never failed to make me uneasy. “I trust you’ve prepared the monthly expenditure statement?”I swallowed hard and nodded, placing my fork down carefully beside my plate. “Yes, Uncle John. It’s on your desk. I made sure to include every detail.”He nodded, his expression unreadable. “Good. We need to keep a close eye on our finances, especially with everything that’s been happening lately.”I could feel Clara’s eyes on me from across the table, sharp and watchful, like a predator waiting to strike. I hesitated, knowing that what I was about to say would likely set off a

AVA The only sound I could focus on was the loud stomping of my feet and my erratic heartbeat that filled my ears accompanied by my heaving breathing.Anger would be a terrible understatement of what I was going through.I was exasperated, filled with fury, disgusted and frustrated at how low my own father would go to just to extort money and sympathy from me.How could he lie so confidently to my face, playing a facade card of regret so as to elicit money from me? What sort of father is that?Now, for the first time, I had actually appeared to be deceitful and cunning with funds left in my care. The satisfied look on Clara's face the moment I got trapped in my father's web of lies and tricks made my stomach churn.Tears glistened in my ears as I approached the front door of my parent's home but I blinked them back, a stern resolve washing across my face.I was going through so much already, I didn't want to add or to complicate things further for me.Without knocking on the door, I

LIAMI didn’t belong here. That was the thought that looped in my mind every time I opened my eyes to the sterile white walls, the muffled cries from the other patients, and the smell of antiseptic that clung to everything. This was not my life. I wasn’t supposed to be here. But here I was, locked away in that hellhole, treated like I was some kind of monster. How did it come to this? When would this nightmare end?I am not a mad man. Nobody wants to believe me.The memories were blurry, like a bad dream I couldn’t shake off. I remembered getting angry—so angry that I couldn’t think straight. But the details were hazy. It was like I was watching myself from the outside, unable to stop what was happening. It scared me because it reminded me of how I used to be, back when my parents were still alive.The rage, the fits—it all started back then. But I thought I had it under control. I thought I was past that. So why did it come back now? And why in the dining, of all places?It was ha

AVAThe hospital was colder than I remembered, sterile and unwelcoming. As I walked through the long, winding corridors, I tried to steady my breathing, focusing on the steady click of my heels on the polished floor. I was here to fight for Liam, to prove that he wasn’t the man they were making him out to be. He wasn’t violent. He wasn’t crazy. But as I neared the nurse’s station, a knot of fear twisted in my stomach. What if they didn’t believe me?I approached a young nurse who was busy typing away at her computer. “Excuse me,” I said, trying to keep my voice calm. “I need to speak with the senior doctor. It’s about my husband, Liam.”She looked up, her eyes filled with a mix of curiosity and sympathy. “Dr. Reynolds is in his office. It’s down the hall, third door on the left.”“Thank you,” I said, forcing a smile before I turned away.As I walked down the hall, I could feel my pulse quickening. The walls seemed to close in on me, the fluorescent lights overhead casting harsh shadow

Davies stormed into his father's study, his footsteps echoing down the hallway as he pushed the heavy wooden door open with a force that rattled the books on the shelves. His face was flushed with anger, and he clenched his fists at his sides as he approached the massive desk where his father, John, sat reviewing some paperwork.John looked up, his expression calm but his eyes sharp. He knew his son well enough to recognize when something was wrong, and Davies's demeanor screamed trouble. “What’s got you in such a state, Davies?” he asked, his voice steady and controlled.Davies didn’t waste any time. “I just got off the phone with the doctor,” he said, his voice tight with frustration. “He informed me that Ava was at the hospital the other day, demanding Liam’s medical report from the night he was sent to the asylum.”John's face darkened, his calm facade quickly fading. “What?” he barked, slamming a fist down on the desk. Papers fluttered to the floor, but neither of them paid any a

AVAIt had been two days since Uncle John barged into my room, furious, accusing me of God knows what. The confrontation left me shaken, but more than that, it fueled my resolve. Time was running out—every moment Liam spent in that asylum felt like a lifetime, and I couldn’t bear the thought of him being there any longer. I had to find a way to get him out. But how? The walls around him, both literal and metaphorical, were thick with deception and lies. And I was running out of time.I was pacing my room, phone in hand, when I finally decided to call Mark. He was more than just an employee—he was Liam’s personal health care giver, someone who knew Liam well and had been close to him before everything fell apart. If anyone could help me, it was him.“Mark, it’s Ava,” I said as soon as he picked up. “Ava," he greeted, his voice sounding both cautious and concerned. "Any news about Liam? I have been hearing the news concerning his residence at the mental assylum, how is he? When will he

AVAAs I walked through the mansion, my heart pounded in my chest, the weight of what I was about to do pressing down on me.The mansion was eerily quiet, with only the faint hum of the refrigerator. I tiptoed through the dimly lit hallways, my heart pounding in my chest. I knew I had to be careful—one wrong move and I could blow my cover. I had waited for this moment for days, pretending to go along with the daily routine while secretly planning my search for answers.I headed towards the storage room, where Liam kept some of his older things. It was a place we rarely went, which made it the perfect spot to start my search. My hands trembled slightly as I reached for the door handle, but before I could open it, I heard footsteps approaching. I quickly turned, only to see Davies striding down the hallway toward me.“Ava,” he called out, a sly smile curling his lips. “What brings you to this part of the house? You never come here.”His tone was casual, but there was something unsettlin

Months later AVA The morning sun poured through the windows, bathing the room in a warm golden light. I stood in front of the mirror, my hands gently resting on my swollen belly, feeling the soft kicks of our baby. I could hardly believe this day had finally come—our wedding day. Again. I smiled to myself, watching my reflection as my fingers brushed over the lace of my gown. It was simple, elegant, and perfect for the small, intimate ceremony Liam and I had decided on. A fresh start. A new beginning for our family. There was a knock on the door, and Clara walked in, her face lighting up when she saw me. “Ava, you look beautiful,” she said, her voice soft but filled with sincerity. I turned to her, smiling. “Thank you, Clara. I’m glad you’re here.” She walked over, her expression a little more serious now. “I wouldn’t have missed this for the world. After everything… you and Liam deserve this happiness. You deserve a fresh start.” Her words meant more to me than she k

LIAM The silence in the hospital room was deafening. I sat beside Ava, watching the steady rise and fall of her chest, my fingers trembling as I reached out to gently brush a strand of hair away from her face. She looked so fragile, so pale. I had never felt so helpless in my life. The day had dragged on endlessly, every hour a brutal reminder of how close I had come to losing her. The doctors had said she was stable, but she hadn’t woken up. I had tried talking to her, whispering reassurances that everything was going to be okay, but there was no response. Just the maddening, continuous hum of the machines monitoring her vitals. “Ava… please, wake up,” I whispered, my voice hoarse from hours of silence. “I need you. We need you.” The door to the room opened, and a nurse stepped in quietly, checking the monitors before giving me a small nod. “She’s doing well, Mr. Liam. It’s just a matter of time now.” Time. It felt like an eternity had already passed. I watched the nurse leave,

LIAM I held Ava tightly in his arms, feeling her tremble against me. Her breathing was shallow, and her skin, pale and cold. Despite everything, she had held on. We both had. As I brushed the dirt-streaked hair from her face, I whispered, “You’re safe now, Ava. It’s over.” Her lips parted as if she was trying to speak, but no words came out. Her fingers clutched weakly at my shirt, trying to ground herself. “I’m here,” I whispered, holding her as close as I could without hurting her. “I’ve got you.” She blinked up at me, her gaze unfocused before she glanced around, her eyes landing on Clara and Davies, who stood near the door, watching us with somber expressions. She looked back up at me, her brows knitting together. Her hand moved to her stomach, resting there for a moment before her eyes widened. “Liam…” “What is it?” I asked, my heart skipping a beat. Her grip on me tightened, and fear began to seep into her gaze. “I—Liam, something’s wrong.” Before I could even pro

LIAM The cold concrete floor felt like it was digging into my bones, and every breath I took was shallow and labored. My body ached, the weight of exhaustion and hunger gnawing at me with every passing minute. Ava sat beside me, her face pale, streaked with dirt, and her once-vibrant eyes dull with fear and fatigue. We had been here for what felt like an eternity, tied up, helpless, malnourished, and broken. I glanced over at her, my heart wrenching as she tried to keep herself together. Every now and then, she would give me a small, strained smile—something to reassure me, as if to say we were going to get out of this. But even her resolve was weakening. I could see it in the way her hands trembled, her breath coming in short, panicked bursts. The room reeked of sweat and desperation, the oppressive silence hanging over us like a death sentence. Then the door creaked open, and the sound of footsteps echoed through the warehouse. My pulse quickened as I turned to see John and El

Clara had been restless, unable to sleep, and decided to head downstairs for a glass of water. As she descended the staircase, her footfalls silent against the thick carpet, she heard voices coming from John’s study. At first, she thought nothing of it. It was not unlikely for him to make calls this late. John often stayed up late for business calls, but as she reached the bottom of the stairs, something in the tone of his voice made her pause. She ducked into the shadows, peeking around the corner, just in time to hear him say something that froze the blood in her veins. “Once they are dead, the property and the company will be ours. There won’t be anyone left to challenge us. We’ve endured far too much and we’ve played those meaningless games with those two pests! Now it’s time to get rid of them forever” Clara’s breath hitched in her throat, her hand trembling as she clutched the banister. She didn’t dare move, didn’t dare breathe. John’s voice was calm, almost bored, as th

AVA I woke up with a pounding headache, my limbs heavy and sore. My eyes fluttered open, the room around me coming into hazy focus—a cold, dimly lit space with concrete walls and the faint hum of distant machinery. As I shifted, I realized I couldn’t move my arms. Panic set in, and my breath quickened. My wrists were bound tightly behind me. A groan escaped my lips as I tugged at the restraints, but they wouldn’t budge. It was then that I noticed Liam, slumped beside me, his head hanging low. “Liam,” I whispered, my voice shaky. “Liam, wake up.” He stirred slightly, groaning before his eyes slowly blinked open. “Ava…?” His voice was rough, groggy. “What… where are we?” “We’re tied up,” I said, my voice trembling as I fought back the fear rising in my chest. “Liam, I don’t know what’s happening.” His eyes darted around the room, assessing the situation much quicker than I had. He tugged at his own restraints, his jaw tightening when he realized there was no immediate escape

LIAM I stood outside Ava’s house, nerves tearing through me. It had taken me far too long to realize how deeply I had hurt her. I had been a fool—letting my own uncle, John, manipulate me into casting her aside. My heart raced as I stared at the door, hoping, praying, she would listen. I lifted my hand to knock again, but the door suddenly opened. Isabella, her stepmother, stood before me. The hostility on her face was unmistakable, her lips curling into a sneer as she crossed her arms. “What are you doing here, Liam?” Her tone was icy. “I need to see Ava,” I said, my voice pleading. “I need to talk to her. Please.” She laughed bitterly, stepping forward, almost blocking the doorway. “Talk to her? After what you did? You have no right.” My heart clenched, but I refused to give up. “Isabella, I know I made mistakes. I just need five minutes—” “No,” she cut me off sharply. “You’re not coming in, Liam. She doesn’t need to hear more of your excuses.” I was about to respond when, s

Clara paced nervously in the hallway outside her brother’s room, debating whether to knock. Her heart pounded against her ribs as she rehearsed the conversation in her head. She knew Davies was loyal to their father, John, but after everything that had happened—after all the plotting and scheming—Clara couldn’t keep quiet any longer. She had seen the damage her father had caused, not just to Liam but to the entire family, and it was time to stop it. Taking a deep breath, she raised her hand and knocked on the door. A moment later, Davies opened it, surprise etched across his face. "Clara? What’s going on? It’s late," Davies said, stepping aside to let her in. Clara entered, her steps hesitant as she glanced around his room. "We need to talk. It’s important." Davies raised an eyebrow. "Talk about what? It better be good Clara. You know I don’t like when somebody interrupts my sleep” “Oh shut up. I came to talk about something important. Dad’s plan with Ava and Liam. Don’t yo

In the dimly lit study, the heavy scent of cigar smoke lingered in the air. John Tyson sat behind his large oak desk, fingers tapping rhythmically against the polished wood as his mind churned with plans and schemes. Across from him, Clara perched on the edge of a leather armchair, fidgeting with her hands, her gaze flicking nervously between the door and her brother. "I don’t like this," she muttered, breaking the tense silence. "We’ve done enough damage. Liam’s health has improved since Ava came into his life. Maybe it’s time to let things be." John’s gaze hardened as he turned to face her, his fingers pausing mid-tap. “You think I care about Liam’s well-being, Clara? This isn’t about him. It’s about our legacy, our fortune. Ava’s nothing more than a distraction, and I’ll be damned if I let her undo years of planning.” Clara sighed, leaning back in her chair, her shoulders sagging under the weight of their family’s endless plots. “We’ve been at this for too long, Dad. We’ve done
