All Chapters of Bound To The Billionaire: Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

Ava It had been another exhausting day, filled with subtle jabs and hostile glares from Clara and Davies. I sighed, wiping my forehead with the back of my hand as I continued preparing lunch for Liam. Suddenly, I heard footsteps behind me and swiftly pivoted to see that it was Tamy who slipped quietly into the kitchen. Her expression was grave, and I could tell she had something important to say. “Ava,” Tamy whispered, glancing nervously over her shoulder to make sure we were alone. “I need to talk to you.” I put down the dish I was holding and turned to face her, concern etching my features. “What’s wrong, Tamy?” She took a deep breath, her voice trembling slightly. “You need to be careful, Ava. Uncle John… he’s not what he seems. He’s sly" My heart skipped a beat. “What do you mean?” She glanced around to make sure we were alone. "I need to warn you about Uncle John. He’s dangerous. He’ll do anything to get rid of you." Tamy looked around the room again, then leaned i

The commotion in the boutique escalated as the shopkeeper returned with the manager, a stern-looking man with a clipped tone. Ava stood frozen in disbelief as the manager approached, his eyes narrowing in contempt.“What’s going on here?” the manager demanded, looking at Ava with disdain.“This woman,” the shopkeeper pointed at Ava, “was found with these earrings in her bag. She’s a thief.”“Excuse me, what is happening here?” John Tyson’s authoritative voice cut through the tension. He entered the store, followed closely by Davies, both of them clearly disturbed by the uproar. The manager’s expression shifted to one of shock and recognition.“Mr. Tyson, I apologize for any inconvenience. But this woman was caught in a shameful act,” the manager insisted, pointing at Ava."No she wasn't!" Liam yelled back. "I was with Ava the entire time. She's innocent uncle John!" Liam protested."Ava what's this nonsense? What have you done?!" Davies questioned."I didn't do anything. I don't--I d

LIAMDAYS LATERAs I drove to the family's company accompanied by my personal driver, a heavy sense of responsibility weighed on my shoulders. Uncle John was away on a business trip, leaving me with quite the freeedom I needed to get somethings in check. I was determined to get to the bottom of the missing funds. Mark, my personal assistant and close friend, had already begun an internal investigation, but I needed to see things for myself.Upon arriving at the office, I wasted no time. I called Mark into the conference room and briefed him on our plan. "We need to interrogate some people in the financial department," I said, my voice firm. "Someone is working tirelessly to bankrupt this company, and we need to find out who. It is quite absurd that all these is going on under uncle John's nose and he has no clue" Mark nodded, his expression serious. "Perhaps he knows but he isn't bothering anyone with his travails. Clara has her own business to manage, he believes you are mentally u

LIAMLocked in our bedroom, I couldn't escape the whirlwind of emotions crashing through me. How could Ava betray me like this? Just when I was starting to let my guard down, starting to genuinely enjoy her company, this happens. I paced back and forth, my thoughts racing, my heart heavy with confusion and pain.How could she do this? How could she lie so convincingly, day after day? I thought we were beginning to understand each other, maybe even form a bond. But now, everything felt like a cruel joke.My mind replayed Denis's words, each one like a dagger to my heart. "We were together, and then you vanished," he'd said. And the way Ava had slapped him, the fury and desperation in her eyes—was that genuine, or just part of the act? The doubts gnawed at me, refusing to let go.A soft knock on the door interrupted my thoughts. "Liam, can you hear me?" Ava's voice came through, muffled but desperate. "Let me in. We need to talk."I clenched my fists, torn between the need to confront h

AVA My eyes twitched and I turned lazily on the soft sheets beneath my tired body. My fingers, slowly gaining momentum, gripped unto the soft fabric, before I fluttered my eyes open.The warm rays of the sun welcomed my sight, seeping through the curtains and feeling the room with its light. At first confusion settled in as I whipped my face around the room, wondering how I got in here.This was I and Liam's room but I don't recall going to bed in this room from yesterday's saga. The memories hit me like a wave, causing a part of my head to throb mildly.I had cried my eyes out last night. Liam wouldn't agree to open the door for me and the jeers and taunts I got from Clara and Davies did nothing to soothe my agony. I remember I had nestled up against the door, sobbing silently as I pleaded with Liam to open up but I got no response from him neither did he open up.Giving up to my fate, I had cried myself to sleep. But now, I am right in this room.And Liam? As soon as the thought o
