All Chapters of My Forced Husband Is A Billionaire: Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

Chapter 12Ava's POVI had a lot of questions when Liam finally walked back inside. He seemed to be exhausted; there were deep bags under his eyes, and he still wore the same clothes from the previous night.Yet, despite the frustration, worry and curiosity were the strongest feelings that kept me going.“Liam, where have you been? You suddenly got up and left, and I was very worried,” I began, my tone almost accusatory. It was an effective way to communicate my anger and concern about the situation.He rubbed his eyes as if trying to erase the feeling of fatigue where it had settled. “I had something to attend to. Just work stuff” he said in terse manner which yet again dissatisfied me.I took a few steps toward him, staring into his eyes. “You keep saying this thing is work, but I will not accept it. You didn't come home the whole night Liam. I have a right to know what is happening.”His gaze turned cold and in an instant, he flew off the handle. “Ava, you are not my real wife, so

Ava's POVA strangled cry tore from my throat as the shadows closed in, swallowing everything. The cars moving towards each other. The brakes refusing to work. It felt terrifyingly real, like the darkness was creeping over me, inch by inch, without mercy. I called out for help, my voice a desperate echo lost in the void, until suddenly, I heard my name. Familiar, calming, pulling me back."Ava!"“Ava, wake up! It’s just a bad dream.”The oppressive blackness started to fade, first slowly, then in a rush, like it had lost its grip. I shot up, gasping for air, my whole body trembling. Warm, strong arms wrapped around me, bringing me back to the safety of reality.“It’s alright. I’m here. You’re alright.”Liam’s face was right there, his soft eyes full of concern. He held me in his arms, even as I trembled in the aftermath. He wiped tears from my cheeks—tears I hadn’t even realized were there. “What happened?” he asked, his voice low, almost a whisper.“I—I’m sorry,” I stuttered, barel

Ava's POVI sat in my usual corner at Liam’s library, the comforting scents of old books and polished wood wrapping around me like a familiar embrace. It had been a week since I left my job at Winston & Co., and a week since Jeremy had tried to—I shivered, the memory making my whole body tense.I had sworn I would never return to that place, no matter how desperate things became. It wasn't worth it.With a sigh, I opened my laptop, its glow casting my face in a pale light. I had sent applications to several companies, but the silence from each and every one was making me lose all hope. Something kept telling me that Jeremy was behind this. Spreading lies, sabotaging my reputation, and defending his name.He's lucky I didn't sue his ugly scrawny ass. “What are you working on so intensely?” Liam’s voice suddenly cut me off from my thoughts, drawing me back to the present.He plopped into the chair opposite me, his usual beautiful grin lighting up the atmosphere. My face flushed instan

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

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
