Bound To The Billionaire Chapter 8
AVA "Liam no cheating now," I chortled as Liam tried peeping at my bundle of cards. We were playing an indoor card game. Liam shook his head at me, "I am not cheating" I flashed him a warm smile and leaned my face closer to his, "But then I saw you trying to peep at my card", I said with a whisper. Liam gazed at me for a while, his eyes boring into mine while our faces were in close proximity with each other's. Suddenly multiple knots got tied in my stomach and I pulled back a bit, before raking my eyes through my selected cards and placing them on the floor. "Now your turn. Let's see if you can beat me" I smiled triumphantly. Liam laughed, "Ava I can win you. I, uncle John, Clara and Davies play this game all the time and I always win. Watch me win" Just the mere mention of those names wiped the smile off my face. To think that I expected John Tyson to atleast stick up for me but he follows his children to throw condescending remarks at me. And all because of what? Because

AVA I left the mansion with a heavy heart, each step weighed down by the burden of my circumstances. The thought of the upcoming function filled me with dread. The idea of facing Clara and the rest of the family in a public setting made my stomach churn. But I couldn’t afford to let them see me falter. I had to present myself with grace and dignity, even if it meant borrowing it from somewhere else. I made my way to the local boutique, my mind racing with worries. I didn’t have the money to buy new shoes, but I hoped I could rent a pair that looked elegant enough to pass their judgmental scrutiny. The bell above the door chimed as I entered, and the shopkeeper, a woman who looked like she was in her early twenties with sharp eyes and a tight-lipped smile, glanced up from behind the counter. “Good day Miss, how can I help you?” she asked, her tone clipped and professional. “Yes, I’m looking to rent a pair of heels,” I replied, trying to keep my voice steady. She raised a

AVAThe day of the family’s event arrived far too quickly. I dressed carefully, putting on the black heels that Liam had bought for me. I chose a simple yet elegant dress, hoping it would be enough to hold my own in front of Clara and the rest of the family. My nerves were a tangled mess, but I knew I had to face this with as much dignity as I could muster.As we descended the grand staircase together, Liam held my hand tightly, his presence a reassuring anchor. The mansion was abuzz with activity, the sound of laughter and chatter filling the air. We stepped into the main hall, where the guests were already mingling. I could see Clara across the room, her eyes narrowing as they landed on us.We made our way through the crowd, exchanging polite greetings and forced smiles. The room was filled with opulence, the guests dressed in designer clothes, their conversations laced with wealth and privilege. I felt out of place, a mere imposter in their world.Clara approached us, a sly smile p

AVA Eventually, the time came to serve the cocktails. I moved through the crowd, offering drinks to the guests, all the while feeling the piercing stares and hearing the whispered judgments. "Sweet girl, what's your name again?" an elderly lady, who seemed to be in her early fifties, asked as I handed her a glass of cocktail. "Ava, ma'am," I replied with a curt nod. "Aren't you the new daughter-in-law of the family?" She cupped my chin, a doting look on her features. I nodded once more, a warm smile spreading across my face. "I am, ma'am," I politely replied. At once, a sorry look washed over her face. "Then why are you doing this? Serving the guests like a waiter? This isn't befitting of someone of your status as the daughter-in-law of this family," the concern in her voice was evident. Tears pricked at the corners of my eyes. What could I tell her? That Uncle John literally forced me into serving like a waiter because it was the only thing I could do that was fitting fo

The morning after the disastrous party, Ava woke up feeling a sense of dread. The memory of the previous evening, the judgmental whispers, and the pointed glares lingered like a dark cloud. As she descended the grand staircase, she couldn’t shake off the unease. The mansion was unusually quiet, save for the distant sound of someone humming in the kitchen.“Good morning, Mrs. Tyson,” Tamy greeted her with a warm smile as she passed by.“Morning, Tamy,” Ava replied, trying to muster a smile of her own. She appreciated the maid’s kindness in a household where it was in short supply. "Is breakfast almost ready?" Ava asked Tamy to which she nodded, a warm smile on her lips."Yes. Your favourite actually," Tamy responded, a bright smile on her lips.Ava chuckled at her words. Apart from Liam, Tamy was another person who actually displayed kindness to her in the house.It was like she was a sheep in a den of wolves.Just as she ambled out, reaching the bottom of the staircase, her phone

AVA After the unexpected news from Uncle John, I felt a surge of hope and determination. Finally, I had a chance to prove myself and make a difference. The idea of managing part of the family’s income was both exhilarating and daunting. It felt like a step towards being acknowledged, even if it was a small one. But I was ready to take on the challenge. That evening, I decided to familiarize myself with the financial documents and reports Uncle John had mentioned. I spent hours in the small office room allocated to me, poring over spreadsheets and account statements. The figures and terminologies were overwhelming at first, but I was determined to understand everything. As the clock ticked closer to midnight, I decided to take a break. I stepped out of the office, intending to grab a glass of water from the kitchen. The mansion was eerily quiet, the usual hustle and bustle replaced by a serene stillness. As I walked down the corridor, I noticed a faint light coming from one of the

AVA Days passed, and I poured myself into managing the family’s expenses. Despite the challenges and the hostile environment, I was determined to prove myself. Each day, I meticulously tracked expenses, filed reports, and ensured that every transaction was transparent. I hoped that through my work, I could earn Uncle John’s trust and perhaps soften the family’s disdain towards me. My husband, Liam, with his childlike demeanor, was my only solace. Though his mental state often made him seem distant from the complexities around us, his innocence and unwavering support provided me with a much-needed sense of normalcy. Every evening, after completing my tasks, I would sit with Liam, sharing stories and enjoying his company. His laughter and simple joys were a stark contrast to the tension-filled mansion, making our moments together all the more precious. One evening, during dinner, I sensed a shift in the atmosphere. Clara and Davies exchanged knowing glances, their eyes glinting w

Chapter 15 John Tyson sat in his dimly lit study, the light from the lamp casting shadows on the walls lined with shelves of books and family portraits. He glanced at the clock, waiting for Liam. His nephew’s footsteps echoed in the hallway before a soft knock on the door announced his arrival. “Come in,” John called, his voice smooth and inviting. Liam entered, his face lighting up with a smile as he approached his uncle. “You wanted to see me, Uncle John?” John nodded, gesturing for Liam to take a seat across from him. “Yes, Liam. I wanted to check on you. How have you been feeling?” Liam’s smile widened, a rare sight. “I’ve been feeling great, actually. My new roommate, Ava, has been wonderful. We’ve been getting along really well.” John’s expression darkened slightly, a hint of concern in his eyes. “I’m glad to hear that, but I need you to be careful, Liam. Ava might not be what she seems. She could be after your wealth.” Uncle John’s calculating gaze remained fixed o

Bound To The Billionaire Epilogue
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
Bound To The Billionaire Chapter 106
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
