PAWNED TO THE BILLIONAIRE CHAPTER SEVENTY FIVE
If not for Stanley's earnest pleas on Liam's behalf, Asher might never have answered Liam's desperate calls. But when she learned of Elizabeth's dire condition, all previous animosity dissipated into thin air.Almost breathless with panic, Asher demanded the hospital's address, leaving Liam little to no time to beg for her presence. Her maternal instincts kicked into overdrive, and she was already making a beeline for the hospital before Liam could even thank her."Baby please, eat at least two spoons." Liam said as he tried to coax Elizabeth into taking a bite of the food, her lips stayed sealed in stubborn defiance. Even as he gently spoon fed her, she turned her head away, refusing to eat."I've called your mother and she will soon be here." He said, his tone soft but firm. Elizabeth's silence spoke volumes, conveying her hurt and her obstinacy in the face of Liam's efforts.The spoon hit the tray with a clatter, signaling Liam's frustration and resignation. At that moment, he felt

Asher's POVI walked to the altar clutching my father's hand, my steps trembling. It felt as though my wedding gown was composed of gold. My eyes met with the man who was patiently waiting for me at the altar. Although he was captivating and I could not deny it, he is still a stranger to me as this is our first meeting. At the altar, Liam exuded handsomeness as a young, successful billionaire. My father had said, "You have to marry Liam; you know we need more contracts for our company." I forced a smile as I approached Liam. I'm getting married to a man I barely know because of my father's company.I feel my marriage is just like a business transaction because I was getting married for business and not for love. I tried to force myself to ignore my emotions and focus on the present. I couldn't help but worry about what would happen to me in the marriage as I tied the knot with a man I hardly knew. My parents had arranged the marriage more for business than for love. It was

Liam's POV"It's time to throw a bouquet," I heard the cheerful MC call out, "I want every single lady to be here." "I want to remind you of the law of bouquet throwing," the MC said playfully, while most young people in the ballroom scream for joy. “Tell us,” they shouted, their voices filling the hall. “The lady who catches the bouquet is getting married this year,” the MC said and there was a riot of laughter in the ballroom. Most of the ladies at the reception, including the bridesmaids, came out to catch the bouquet. "With clapping ovations, we welcome our newest bride, today's beautiful bride, to throw the bouquet," he said, and noise and screams filled the air as Asher walked elegantly to the dance floor. “Okay ladies,” on the count of three let’s see who catches the bouquet". The ladies on the dance floor held out their hands, ready to catch the bouquet. But when the count reached zero, something happened that no one expected, wind entered the ballroom and blew the bouq

Liam's POVI hurried to find and ask Lucy what had happened when the reception ended and what she meant by "I Had to get away from you.". I believed we were in love . Luckily for me, I found her chatting with a friend I didn't even bother to know and dragged her to a room I suggested to be the dressing room."My family and I moved because of your father," Lucy sobbed as I pulled her inside the room."Your father gave a threat to murder me and destroy my family if I didn't stay away from you," Lucy said amidst tears. I quickly clamped my hands over her mouth to avoid us being overheard. I removed my hands when I noticed she's calm, the last thing I needed was to be overheard. "Why did you come to my wedding after everything that happened?" I asked, confused and hurt. "I assumed you wouldn't want anything to do with me after what my father did. I tried to stop the tears that were fighting their way from my eyes but I couldn't, my heart really was pounding. In addition to being angry,

Asher's POV"Hey, where has my newest couple been?" Liam's mother said, smiling as she moved closer to us."We’ve been looking for you,” She said again."Asher, are you okay, your eyes are red like you've been crying." She asked curiously as she placed her hand on my arm and looked into my eyes.“I’m fine mom,” I replied, smiling at her."" I hope you will make this marriage work?" she asked again."Mom, Asher and I are tired, we need to get some rest," Liam finally spoke, trying to avoid further questions from his mother.“Have you already booked a hotel for us or what?”“Are you arranging our honeymoon?” he said again quietly.“Yes, your honeymoon is arranged, you are traveling to another country, your ticket is booked,” she said with a bright smile.I exchanged glances with Liam. It surprised me that my parents have never mentioned to me that I will travel out of the country for my honeymoon.“What country, Mom?” I asked. “Oh, you’re going to Germany,” she said grinning.“I’m sur

Liam's POVI woke up to the sight of Asher, sleeping peacefully beside me.We had lodged in the hotel yesterday after the afterparty. We are to stay in the hotel till evening when our flight will take off to Germany.I stared at Asher's pretty face for a few minutes, I smiled to myself as I thought about the conversation we had yesternight. We talked length and be so honest with each other, and It was clear that we both want to make it work, we agreed that it was important to take things slowly and not to rush things and know each other better first.I planted a kiss on her forehead and she stirred a bit. I quietly got up from the bed to avoid disturbing her pretty sleep and tiptoed to the bathroom to have a quick shower and I'd go to order for our breakfast before she woke up.After my shower, I thread gently out of the bathroom making sure not to wake her. I walked up to the box of clothes my mother had kindly brought for us to the hotel without our knowledge. I picked up a shirt

Liam's povAfter what happened at the hotel, Asher has refused to speak to me. She only faked a smile when our parents came to take us to the airport to board a flight taking us to Germany for our honeymoon. After arriving in Germany, I made several attempts to talk to Asher, but she ignored me every time I did. I knew what I did hurt her but it was never intentional to do so. I wanted to make things right with her, but she kept ignoring me and wasn't ready to hear me out. "Babe," I called softly. "This is the limousine that would be taking us to our hotel". I said as I already confirmed the plate number given to me and was sure that it was for us but my wife remained silent, her expression unreadable. I could feel some tension between us as we sat close to each other inside the vehicle. The air was so heavy with a lot of unresolved feelings. As the limousine drove away from the airport, I wondered what would be going through her mind.In less than one hour we got to the hotel. A

Asher's pov"So babe, what could I possibly do that will make you lose trust in me" I asked Liam as we found a spot in the hotel garden."Hmmm, that's a deep question" He said "Nothing actually but I guess if I had to say something it would be finding out that you are keeping a secret from me. I believe in openness in a relationship. I would not appreciate it if I found out my woman was keeping a secret" He said and my heart skipped a beat but I caution myself to act normal."Ok, but you believe I'm not keeping anything from you right?" I asked with a smile."Oh, yes, I trust you baby" He replied and gave me a peck."So baby, another question" I said with a smile."Ok, go ahead" He said, returning my smile, ready for my next question." What do you intend to do about this Lucy threat?" I asked, ever since Lucy called yesterday when we arrived in Germany, I have been scared even though Liam assured me there won't be a problem but I'm worried she might eventually harm me like she threa

"Elizabeth" Liam screamed, his voice quivering with shock as he entered his house and only to beheld his daughter, motionless on the ground. He rushed to her, shook her motionless body in a desperate attempt to awaken her but she was just still.Elizabeth had been starving herself, in the aftermath of Asher's departure.She ignored her meals, and couldn't stop crying every day. Her eyes had remained puffy and red from the endless hours of weeping each day. Liam's plea for her to eat only fell on deaf ears, as she would still refuse all food, even her favorite food because of her mother being absent. In a flurry of panic, he scooped her up and rushed to his car, speeding to the hospital, ignoring the jeers of the onlookers, his entire being was focused on one thing, getting his darling daughter to the doctors before it was too late. As Liam sprinted into the hospital with Elizabeth's limp body slung over his shoulder, his panic trumped all protocol. Emergency room nurses, instantly d

In the opulent setting of Stanley's luxurious residence, Liam relaxed on an exquisite couch, his eyes fixated on the pristine glass of wine on the table as he patiently waited for Stanley to return from the washroom.Stanley had called him, inviting him to a small party at his house which he said they would be having with one of his friends. With eager anticipation, Liam anticipated the arrival of their guest."My apologies, Liam, for keeping you waiting." Stanley said with a smile as he walked back to the sitting room, taking his seat next to Liam."No problem, I'm enjoying the ambiance." Liam replied, smiling back."Our guest should be here any moment." Stanley said, as he picked up the remote and turned up the volume on the TV, allowing the actors' dialogues to fill the room."Who is this your friend and why the party,what is the party for? I don't understand." Liam asked."Don't worry friend, it's meant to be a surprise. You will know her when she comes." "Her." Liam asked, confu

The room practically crackled with tension as Liam and Asher exchanged heated words. Liam's face was flushed with fury, as he raged at Asher for hiding her past as a lesbian while in school. He stood like an immovable mountain, resistant to her pleas for understanding. But Asher, after exhausting her efforts to plead with Liam, had reached her breaking point. She stood her ground, matching Liam's ferocity word for word. "This happened before you met me". She said, her voice raised in anger."Have you ever caught me in such an act since we got married." Liam's words were bullets, piercing Asher's soul with every sentence. "You kept this your dirty secret from me, your husband." he seethed, his eyes blazing with hurt and anger. "The woman was even blackmailing you, demanding money in exchange for her silence, and you've been paying her off all this time without me knowing?" His words shook with rage, his hands clenched into fists at his sides."Liam, I know I should have told you abo

"I'm only asking for a small sum of money, and here you are, making such a scene." Pearl said, her voice raised. Her anger ranged as she confronted Asher in her own home, using the compromising photos as leverage."Do you think I came here to joke or play with you? I came to reveal your dirty secret to your husband, but God seems to be on your side today. However, I won't leave without what I came for. Hand over that money, or your secret will no longer be safe with me.""Pearl, to you, a hundred million dollars is a small amount of money? Pearl, are you in your right senses" Asher said, her face hardened with frustration."You are spitting nonsense Asher". Pearl said, her face stern. "If you are not succumbing to my demands, consider your husband being aware of your bad past". She said again, her voice cutting through the air like a whip.The air seemed to thicken with the weight of Pearl's rage as Asher crumbled under the pressure, slumping down onto the nearest chair in defeat.

Asher's POVMy hands were immersed in a sudsy mountain of laundry when my phone's beep rang out, signaling a new message. I glanced at my phone's screen and saw that the message that came in was from Pearl and it read "I need to discuss something very important with you, and I would like you to come to my house to discuss it."My mind whirred with possibilities as to what she could be talking about, nothing coming to mind that couldn't be discussed via text or call. Anxiously, I dialed her number to find out if it could be discussed over the phone. The call went unanswered at first, but my persistence paid off when Pearl finally picked up. There was no friendly greeting or small talk, only her urgent message, "I'll send you my home address. It's very serious please." She ended the call after that before I could even utter a word.My mind raced with questions as I rushed to finish my laundry, speeding through the last stages of my cleaning routine. As I started to dress, a text from P

Liam's heart rate spiked as he walked into the sitting room, stunned to find the very woman whose identity he had been clamoring for, chatting with Asher in their house. His jaw dropped as if the world had suddenly tilted on its axis.Standing up with a warm smile, Pearl greeted him, but Liam's response was chilly at best, sending an icy chill through the room. Asher, caught in the crossfire, found himself quickly whisked away upstairs by a visibly agitated Liam, leaving Pearl alone to contemplate the reasons behind Liam's coldness."What is she doing here, and remember you haven't told me who she is?" Liam said, his face stern."Baby, like I told you earlier, Pearl is my old friend. I had wanted to tell you what had transpired between us, but you've been so busy lately." Her words hung in the air as Liam absorbed their meaning, his expression a mix of confusion and suspicion."We had a terrible fight before graduation, which was why I reacted so poorly when I saw her." She lied, her

Asher's POVAs I reclined in the comfort of my room, my daughter, Elizabeth, hurriedly entered with a look of bewilderment etched on her face. "Mom". She said "There is someone at the door asking for you," she said her voice laced with perplexity. "It's a woman, and she looks like that strange aunty we met at Uncle Stanley's birthday party. I think it's that aunty Pearl". Her eyes, wide with surprise, revealed the flutter of curiosity that stirred within her.On hearing Pearl's name, panic gripped my soul, and I sprung from the bed with haste. A silent prayer ascended from my heart, a plea that it wasn't her after all. And as I dashed downstairs, my heart racing in anxious fear, I was thankful that Liam wasn't around. If Pearl had indeed graced my doorstep, Liam's presence would have ignited a storm of trouble.My feet carried me swiftly to the living room, where my worst fears were confirmed. Pearl was already sitting comfortably, her very presence an unwelcome enigma. How did she di

Elizabeth's POVMy heart was racing as I approached my father. "Dad," I said, my voice shaking slightly with nerves. He turned from his TV program and smiled at me. "How are you, darling?" he asked, his voice calm and gentle.I'm scared the conversation might not turn out well, but I had to push through the discomfort. I had become desperate to ask him why he had such a negative view of female relationships. To him, it seemed that any sign of closeness between women was automatically seen as lesbianism. I need to understand why he had been so judgmental and narrow minded.My mind raced for the right words, but my mouth remained stubbornly silent. I took a deep breath, willing the words to come out. "I'm fine, dad," I replied, my voice still slightly trembling. "I want to ask you something." I managed to say.My father seemed to sense the gravity of my words and adjusted his seat to face me directly. "Of course, sweetheart," he said, his brows slightly furrowed in concern. "What is it
