Ava's POVAs I tore open the envelope, my hands trembled, and my heart raced like it was trying to escape my chest. The elegant logo of Blackwell Industries was the first thing I saw ad I opened the envelope, making my eyes widen. I unfolded the note inside, a gasp escaping my lips as I read its contents.It read: Congratulations, Ava Patel! We are pleased to inform you that your application for the position of Secretary to the Vice President has been accepted. We invite you for an interview tomorrow.Furrowing my eyebrows, my mind tried to process what was going on. Application? I hadn’t applied for anything. Confusion washed over me, but I quickly pushed it aside. This was a dream come true. Although in ways I didn't understand, I still felt joy crawling in.*A few hours later, I was still pacing up and down my living room, anxiety washing over me. I was still in shock. How had this happened? I didn’t even remember applying!The sound of the door opening cut me off from my though

Liam's POVWhen I texted my PA to send the letter while Ava was telling me about her dream to work at Blackwell Industries, I thought I was making her happy. I had been expecting a range of reactions: excitement, shock, maybe even tears. But as I watched her, jumping with joy and then kissing me, I realized I hadn’t expected this.Also, when I called my mother and asked her to conduct Ava’s interview—after she’d been pestering me to meet Ava ever since I first mentioned her—I hadn’t imagined that this would be the outcome.My mom had been eager to finally meet my wife, as she jokingly put it, though we both knew the circumstances meant she’d have to pretend like she didn't know me.Then, of course, I told Danielle to call around this time to deliver the good news, to see Ava’s reaction up close. But nothing could have prepared me for the feeling of her lips crashing against mine. Her mouth moved so sweetly, so passionately, and the way her hands slid up my chest, to my neck and to m

Ava's POVThe hospital’s normal antiseptic smell hit my nostrils as I rushed through the entrance, my legs moving like they were on autopilot.My vision blurred as tears rolled down my cheeks. Liam was right behind me, his presence the only thing keeping me sane.I scanned the waiting area of our private hospital until my eyes landed on my mother. She stood beside Natalia, who was sobbing into her husband's shoulder.My mother was leaning on the wall, tapping her feet nervously on the ground.Taking a deep breath, I approached them. As soon as mother's eyes locked on me, her gaze turned ice cold. Today, the look was colder than ever.“Why are you here, Ava?” she demanded, staring at me as if I was some unwanted guest, something disgusting.“I... I came here as soon as I heard. What happened to Dad?” I whispered, fear and confusion present on my face.“Why are you pretending to care?” Natalia’s voice was full of venom, her teary eyes glaring at me with hatred. “How dare you even show u

Liam's POVThe moment Ava entered her father's room, I turned around, my hands balled into fists, and faced the disgusting people who called themselves her family."Charlotte, let this be the very last time that you raise your hand on Ava. How disgusting can you be? You treat your own daughter like a piece of trash?"The despicable woman didn't even look remorseful or concerned. It made me wonder: just what had Ava ever done to them for them to treat her like this?Although Charlotte ignored me, Natalia didn't see any reason to. "Do not talk to my mother like that, Liam. Especially if you're going to be defending that slutty animal," she spat, her face twisted as if she were talking about a swine instead of a human being—her own sister.My jaw tightened as I heard that, and I trudged towards her angrily, then leaned my face in closer to hers. She shuddered, and her pale skin reddened. Wait a second... don't tell me she's affected by my presence. I barely stopped myself from laughing a

Ava's POVI sat at the edge of Dad’s hospital bed, wrapping my fingers around his cold hands. The steady beeping of the heart monitor sounded from the side. Seeing him awake had given me sweet relief, but the sorrowful look in his eyes now made my heart pound, as I feared what he meant.“Ava,” he said again, his gaze now locked on mine. “How could you do this to me?”I blinked, confusion flooding me. “Dad, what… what do you mean?” I whispered, my pulse spiking. “What have I done?”He sighed, his eyes welling up with tears, and I felt my chest tighten. “Ava,” he said, his voice trembling, “I know I only raised you for seven years before everything happened… but… be very honest with me. Was I a bad parent?”My heart dropped. What was he talking about? “No! Dad, no!” I exclaimed, shaking my head as my eyes filled with tears. “Why are you saying that?”Tension coiled in my stomach as a sudden realization came to my mind. Did he know? I swallowed hard, my thoughts racing. Has he found out?

Liam's POVI faced Ava, my mind racing as I tried to figure out what to say to her. I took two steps closer to her, but she took two steps backward. If she had heard me, then she was doing a pretty bad job of trying to hide it.The way her eyes widened when I called her name, the way she flinched when I tried to hold her hand, and the way she turned on her heels, facing away from me, was enough proof that she had heard something.Don't be too sure, Liam; it could be that she didn't hear everything.I took in her appearance, and it didn't look well at all. Her reddened eyes showed that she had been crying so much. Her face was pale. At the moment, all I wanted to do was hold her in my arms and let her relax and rest—she had been through so much for one single day."Ava," I called out, my throat tightening."Liam," she replied, her voice almost inaudible. I noticed her shoulders trembling. "My dad wants to see you. He knows everything about the marriage, so be honest." Her words tumble

Trigger Warning: This chapter contains emotional abuse, grief, and traumatic revelations. Please do not read if you are sensitive.Ava's POVAs I stepped out of Dad's room into the bright light of the hallway, I let out a deep breath, feeling my tensed shoulders relaxing. I had almost lost my composure in front of not only Liam but Dad too.I walked aimlessly around the hospital, dragging my heavy feet along. I stepped out into the dark chilly night, feeling a shiver run down my spine, making me wrap my arms around myself in hopes of producing some warmth.I gazed up at the dark gloomy sky, with its stars hidden behind the dark clouds, matching my heart at the moment. Everything was happening too fast, and I wasn't sure I would like the outcome.The sound of sniffles had me snapping my head towards the small alley at the back of the hospital. My senses heightened, goosebumps spreading along my skin. Who was there? Were they okay? Should I go check, or should I leave?Leaving would hav

Liam’s POVMy heart pounded as the door clicked shut behind Ava, leaving me alone with her father. I could feel Robert Patel's cold gaze burning into me as he leaned against the pillow.I gulped, trying to keep my expression neutral, although I knew it was useless. He knew, I could see it in his eyes.Just how did he find out?"You can drop the act," Robert said, his voice accusing. "I know who you are, Liam. You think I wouldn’t recognize a Blackwell when I see one? I have been your dad's friend for long."Not anymore Robert. Not since you...I clenched my fists, taking in a deep breath so as to steady my erratically beating heart.Calm down Liam, play it cool. "I don’t know what you’re talking about, Mr. Patel," I muttered, my voice as calm as I could make it.A low humorless chuckle escaped his lips. "I’m no fool, boy. The first day I saw you in my house, I knew something was off. You’re not just some guy, are you? You’re Liam Blackwell. So, what do you want? Why hide who you are t

Ava's POVTen minutes went by as I stayed in the car, waiting for Liam to return. Boredom slowly crept in, and I kept tapping my fingers on my knee while singing a song to distract myself from the eeriness of the surroundings.The driver sat still, his eyes focused on the direction Liam had gone in. When it got to 15 minutes, I sighed and pushed open the door, stepping out into the chilly dark night. I shivered and wrapped my arms around myself to prevent the cold from biting my bones.The driver's door opened behind me just as I started walking in. "Mrs. Blackwell, where are you going, ma'am?"I shrugged. "He's taking too long. I'm going to check on him," I said and continued strolling towards the building but halted when the driver gripped my forearm."Ma'am, please stay in the car. I'm sure he will be here soon. He might not be happy if you go in."I hated the fact that he was right. Liam had told me to stay back. But what was taking him so long? I couldn't stop the clenching of my

Ava's POVSoft kisses on my jaw, running down to my chin and the back of my neck, woke me from the deep slumber I had been enjoying. “Liam, let me sleep, please,” I groaned, but he chuckled, his warm breath tickling my skin.“Come on, baby, just once again.”Was he serious? Hell no. I frowned into the pillow, cuddling further into it as the chilly breeze from the open window hit my skin when Liam pulled the sheets down my shoulders.“Liam, it’s cold. Give me back,” I murmured, extending my hands without raising my head from the pillow.“Babe, no. Not until you give me my birthday present.”“I’ll give you at the party, Liam. Come on.”“No, I want it now. You know what I mean,” he whispered, his voice husky as he bit my earlobe.Gosh, I married an insatiable beast.“Liam, I gave you your present as requested two times last night. Now just leave me alone.”“Babe, just once more, and I’ll be the happiest birthday boy ever.”I pretended not to have heard him and pushed myself further into

Liam's POVAva's soft black curls called out to me, and I didn’t hesitate. I ran my fingers through them, my eyes taking in every inch of her face. Her parted lips seemed to invite me to taste them, but I held myself back. I wasn’t going to be a creep while my wife slept.My thoughts raced toward what she had just requested of me. It wasn’t an impossible thing, just very difficult. Fixing things with the twins' side of the family? Hell no."You don’t understand, my love," I whispered to her, though she couldn’t hear. "So much of this rivalry revolves around you. I want to protect you, and I promise I’ll die before someone harms you."I left a lingering kiss on her cheek and walked out of the room, closing the door softly behind me so it wouldn’t wake her. I walked with no destination in mind, but my feet took me back toward the twins' room.As I barged in, I had just one thought in mind: I was doing this for Ava and no one else."If I didn’t know better, I would think you had a secret

Ava's POVThe room descended into a tense silence. All eyes were stuck on the brooding muscle of the man at the doorway. Liam's chest rose and fell fast, his hands and jaw muscles all clenched. But what bothered me was the murderous glare he was giving his cousins.Deciding to intervene before anything happened, I called out, "Liam, why would you just barge into someone's room like that? Don't you know how to—" The words were sucked out of my throat as he strode in, brushing past me and the boys, and walking straight into a room on the side.Maybe the bathroom? "Oh, maybe he has diarrhea and couldn't make it downstairs in time," I said with a chuckle. Dom joined me while Carlos just shook his head at us. A few seconds later, the door burst open again, and Liam emerged, holding out some clothes in his hands."Put these on," he tossed them towards Carl and Dom.Understanding dawned on me at that moment. He was angry because his cousins were shirtless in front of me. For goodness' sake,

Liam's POVAfter telling Ava to stay in the room, I marched out of the house, feeling frustration simmer beneath my chest. I needed to let this rage out. After everything these people had done, they still had the nerve to show their faces here.And that’s not the only issue. They just had to know my Ava. They were the ones Ava had been talking to on the phone all this while."Dang it!" I exclaimed and kicked the tire of my car, ignoring the beeping sound it started making.My mind was racing. What the hell do I do now? I need to get rid of these guys in order to have peace of mind. I don’t want them anywhere near Ava. Not after all the psychotic things their mother did.I just hope she isn’t coming here. Yes, she's very much alive, and I don't think she has gotten over the silly crush she had on my dad. It's a good thing he cut off all ties with her.At the thought of their mother, I remembered mine. When the family came in, I noticed she disappeared. I hope she’s okay. This had, and

Ava's POVMy heart raced as I waited for Domenico or Carlos to tell me what was going on. But they just stared at each other as if trying to figure out who should go first."Guys, come on," I groaned. "Just tell me. It can't be that bad, right? Unless you're scared that something will happen to me. Remember, I'm a strong girl. I can take it."Dom scoffed, and I glared at him. Carlos just shook his head at his brother's childishness in serious moments."So, Uncle Nathan, Liam's father, is the reason why everything is going on."My brows creased with confusion. "What do you mean? How is he the reason when he was welcoming you guys? If there was a problem, shouldn't he have been angry like Liam too?""Will you just shut up and listen?" Domenico interrupted me.I rolled my eyes at him but shut up still because it seemed like I was delaying it further."Our dad died when we were barely five. Remember when we told you?""Yes?""Liam's dad stepped in like a father figure to us. He took utmos

Ava's POVIf Liam thought I was going to listen to his stupid order, then he was really dumb and needed to get his brain checked. The minute he was out of the room, I shot up from the bed, wrapped my arms around my chest, and glared at the door as if I were glaring at his head. Then I quickly stood up, put on my flip-flops, and went out of the room.I was walking around the house aimlessly, trying to find where the twins' room could be. Finally, I realized that it would probably be upstairs, where I wasn’t supposed to go, but who cared at this moment?I called one of the maids who was passing by to set the table for dinner and asked her where their room was. She tried telling me that I couldn’t go there because it was upstairs, but I told her I would go, and no one would do anything about it.When we got to one of their rooms, I turned to her and told her to make sure Liam didn’t find out and that she shouldn’t tell him I was here unless he asked. She nodded and left. I took a deep b

Ava's POVThe moment I left Domenico's arms, Carlos' cedar and sandalwood scent hit my nostrils as he engulfed me in his own hug.Tears flowed freely down my face. I couldn't believe it. What are they even doing here?"What are you guys doing here?" I cried out, my voice muffled against his shirt.Domenico responded in a gentle voice, "I told you we were coming immediately after we got finished with our family meeting... well, this is our family."I froze, only now realizing that they were indeed standing in Liam's family home, which means..."Family? Wait, you guys are members of this family?""Yes, Ava. And we didn't know you were here," Carlos answered, stepping backward and placing his hands in his jeans.I stepped away from them and took my time scrutinizing their appearance. Only now seeing the resemblance between them and Mr. Blackwell.The only thing they shared with Liam was the blue eyes that dad also had. I guess they were his nephews then. Which means they were Liam's cou
My Forced Husband Is A Billionaire Chapter 67
Liam's POVAt the hospital, the doctor kept glancing at us weirdly. I think he noticed that something was wrong because Ava and I were always holding hands and acting all lovey-dovey. But today, she put her hands in her lap, impassive, while only smiling at the doctor.He didn’t probe, though, because it was none of his business. Couples fight all the time, and he wasn’t a counselor.“Mr. Blackwell, Mrs. Blackwell, you two look quite okay. But why is your face so pale? I think you’ve gone past the stage of morning sickness, or did you by any chance throw up again?”Ava shook her head. “No, Doc. I just didn’t sleep well last night, which is why my eyes are like this.”I felt a pang in my chest, my heart clenching as I realized that it was my fault.The doctor noted something down in his chart. “Okay then, you can lie on the bed now so I can check you.”My heart began racing with anticipation as it always did. Every time I saw my little baby, I got so nervous my palms would sweat. I did
