THEA

Lily will be fine. Lily will be fine.

I never thought I would find myself in this situation, constantly worrying about the well-being of my daughter, the girl I had raised by my own self and left to be alone back in the city we were coming from. But here, I was worried, I can't even let her out of my sight because I was scared Tyler might see her and probe her with questions, and the secret that I have been keeping from him will be out.

I couldn't forget the way he looked at her with a mix of curiosity and something else I can't quite put my finger on. Like I hurt him, like I betrayed him, like we had something more than a single night together, like we were - lovers! And I cheated on him. That was how he looked at me, an unreasonable strange combination of hurt and longing. And he looks at Lily as if he knows there is a connection between them but can't quite grasp what it is.

I know Lily looks a lot like Tyler, it was even worse when I first gave birth to her and I held her in

    THEAMy arms were wrapped around Lily like she was about to die, her wails were louder and my heart sank as I saw the shattered window. It was shattered beyond recognition and could kill Lily if she had been close enough to the window. My mouth was opened as I looked around.The window glass was shattered in a manner that indicated a significant amount of force had been applied to it. The impact was strong enough to cause the glass to break into multiple tiny pieces and create a pattern of cracks and shards. A typical possible scenario is that a heavy object, perhaps a rock or a brick, was thrown at the window. The force of the impact would cause the glass to fracture and break apart. The size and shape of the object used would determine the extent of the damage and the pattern in which the glass shattered. If thrown, the object could actually have landed on Lily's head, give her a ghastly head blow, concussion and perhaps death, because it was unexpected.Another possibility is the p

    THEAI sat in the car, my hands gripping the steering wheel tightly as I navigated through the city streets. I already had Mark take care of Lily and I trusted him to take extra care of her, so I wasn't in any hurry to go back home. It was where I was going that mattered. The weight of what Tyler had done to my family and me bore down on me like an unbearable burden and now, I was going to face him and watch him crumble just like my father had - just like he made my family crumble. Determination fueled my every thought, as I replayed the events over and over again in my mind.How could he have blackmailed my father? How could he have manipulated me into sleeping with him? How could he just put some money down and asked me to leave the country, under a new name? The anger simmered within me, fueling my resolve to make him pay for his actions. I couldn't let him get away with it; justice needed to be served. But amidst my burning rage, a flicker of fear danced at the edges of my conscio

    THEAThere was a heavy weight on my chest. The event that took place in Tyler's office had taken a toll on me. It's been ages I cried the way I did earlier today and it was all because of Tyler. I desperately needed a break from it all. As I dragged myself out of bed, I made a decision - tonight, I would let loose and forget about my troubles, even if just for a few hours. I was going to the club to party.I got into the bathroom and stared at my reflection in the mirror. My eyes were tired, and there were dark circles underneath them as a result of the tears. I needed to do something to shake off this sadness that had consumed me. Tonight was going to be different; tonight, I would be someone else. I rummaged through my closet, searching for the perfect outfit to wear. I wanted to look good, to feel good about myself. After what felt like an eternity, I settled on a sleek black dress that hugged my curves in all the right places. Black was just perfect on me, I wore black to Tyler's

    TYLERI was in my personal office, seated at my desk , my mind consumed by thoughts of Daniel Andrew's daughter. She was seemingly impossible to detect, an enigma, a female shrouded in absolute mystery. Despite my best efforts, despite the efforts of my abled men, with their best techs and all, I couldn't uncover any additional information about her or her family, than the ones I have already - worse still, there was nothing more about that bodyguard of hers - Sebastian. It was as if she had appeared out of thin air, leaving no trace of her past behind as Booker Greyson, and Sebastian had helped her delete it with his own.I even looked into the debt she said her father was owing and the amount baffled me. How did Daniel Andrew end up owing so much? The company must have hit its end at the beginning of the first two years of its establishment, yet, it thrived for a whole while, with loans and personal savings. I wonder how Daniel was able to keep his daughters, perform his duties as a

    THEAI woke up with a smile creased across my face, there was a feeling and sense of accomplishment and happiness. The previous day had been quite eventful, as I had managed to sabotage Tyler's business in a day and put it on the brink of failure. With just few taps, I was able to bring everything down in minutes. This was exactly how Tyler destroyed my family in just one day. I was proud of myself for being able to sabotage his bussiness in such a significant way. However, my joy was short-lived as I remembered sleeping with Tyler's friend. It was a momentary lapse in judgment, driven by my desire for revenge.Somehow, I hated myself for doing that. and regret washed over me ike a tidal wave. I had slept with Tyler's friend, a man I barely knew, convincing myself it was an act of revenge. I knew I would have to risk my body to get my revenge on Tyler Blackwood and this was just the starting point, I was going far because Tyler must be completely destroyed. As I closed my eyes for a

    THEAI couldn't believe my eyes when I saw Tyler sitting there in our living room like I got at least a dollar from him to get the chair. My heart started racing, and before I knew it, anger consumed me. How could Cora let him in without even giving me a heads up? Especially after everything he had done in the past. I felt betrayed, hurt, and furious all at once. I felt like she wasn't on my side.She was cleaning the mess when I stormed towards her, my voice trembling with anger. "Cora! What were you thinking? How could you let Tyler into our house without telling me first? You even let him sit, Cora, you entertained him."Cora looked taken aback by my outburst, but she quickly regained her composure, dropping the mop. "Thea, calm down. I didn't think it was a big deal. Tyler just wanted to talk, you know.""Just wanted to talk? Don't you have any idea what he's done?" I scoffed, unable to hide my disbelief. "You know damn well what he's capable of by what he had done to us. After e

    THEAI had hoped the day would be productive considering the embarrassing events of yesterday. I had just taken my bath and it was refreshing, I walked out of the bathroom feeling fulfilled as ever. There were many things to worry about, but I chose to be sane today. I had learned that thinking about negativity affected the positive nature of things, I just had to accept things for what they were. My favourite people surrounded me and there was nothing more someone like me could possibly want. Except revenge of course. I still had that at the back of my mind. My phone started ringing, so I walked over to pick it up. Unknown caller? I hoped it wasn't one of father's misdemeanors again. I couldn't take care of anymore of his mistakes."Who is this?" I asked again, my breathing shaky with increased anticipation of who the caller might be.The caller said nothing. I waited for some seconds and asked again."Who is this?" I screamed this time, my uneven breathing patterns very much obvious

    Tyler's PovFirst sip, second sip, third sip until I could sip no more. I placed the cup on the table and took a deep sigh.I can't explain the way I feel lately - in a more correct way, I couldn't understand the way I felt since Thea came back to Manhattan. All I think of was her and even when I want to be mean to her, the way she will look at me reminds me of the night I had her moaning my name. Now, this isn't about sex, thoughts of her just filled my head. It's like a wild rollercoaster ride inside my head rolling to infinity. Thoughts of her face consumed me, weaving through my mind like a never-ending maze. I found myself daydreaming about being with her, wishing I could hold her close and whisper sweet things into her ear. It's a strange sensation, one that I never thought I'd experience, I must have started this experience that night.But why wouldn't I think of her? She is the epitome of beauty, grace, and intelligence. Every time I see her, my heart skips a beat, and my mind

    THEAI excused myself and went outside. I didn't want to imagine that Tyler left without telling me. He was all smiles when we were planning the surprise birthday party, he couldn't leave without a word. As I stepped outside, lashed by the cold fingers of the wind, I was taken aback by the sight of someone sitting on the staircase. For a moment I stood still, then remembered that the person's clothes looked familiar. It didn't take long for me to figure out it was Tyler and when I cleared my throat, he turned back, his eyes fixed on me with a mix of awe and longing. My heart skipped a beat as I made my way towards him, my senses heightened by the tension between us."Hey," I said softly, sitting down next to him on the step. "What's going on? I thought you left."He chuckled and turned to the moon, his eyes still filled with wonder. "that," he replied, his voice barely above a whisper as he pointed to the cloudless sky. He continued to stare at the moon for what seemed like minutes un

    THEAI saw him first before Lily and I immediately went to stand in the doorway. Lily was by my side, holding a welcome home banner she designed herself and I was holding one too. I couldn't help but feel a mix of emotions.Excitement to see Tyler again after a whole lot of time and then the thought about how he would react to the party. As I thought of that, a hint of sadness washed over me and I immediately deleted it from my mind. Although our time together had been cut short by his accident then I was glad he was fine.He would be receiving the rest of his treatments and recovering at home. The doctors said he was healing well, but I knew I would still see the faint scar on his chest, which would be a reminder of the traumatic event that had brought us together - Lily's kidnapping. I took a deep breath and stepped forward when I saw him enter the house, holding out the banner. "Welcome home, Tyler!" I exclaimed, trying to sound cheerful but deep down I was bursting with excitement

    THEA"Why do you care about Tyler after all he's put this family through?" This question rang in my head. How would I explain it? Yes, Tyler had helped us, but it wasn't enough for the amount of care I felt entitled to show him.I looked up and met father's gaze, he stared at me expectant of a reply. "When you left, I and Cora moved to Manhattan." I watched his eyelids flutter at the mention of Cora, no doubt he was starting to get emotional."Things were pretty rough, I struggled to build an enterprise from the start before deciding to come back here in quest of revenge against Tyler, but as life would have it; things changed. A lot of things changed.""What changed?""I found out Tyler had a pretty good reason for leaving us, I couldn't really blame him. All he did was try to save us, everybody including you. Also..." I trailed off, unsure of how to break the news of Lily to him."Go on, I won't judge you." I didn't really care about his judgement, I just wasn't sure it was right to

    THEAMy eyes were closed and I felt like I was in a different world as the remaining drops of tears escaped from my eyes. I wasn't sure how long my head was bent or if I had drifted off into thought, but the next thing I felt was a tap on the shoulder softly.I paused for a minute to wipe off the corners of my eyes before almost jumping off my chair eager to hear anything from the nurse, maybe then I would calm down. "How is..?" I rose my face from the edge of the chair, but couldn't complete my statement as I stared at the face which stared right back at me. Was this real?The walls of the reception began to revolve around me and for a second my head went blank. Was I dreaming? Someone wake me up, I found it hard to believe. Hard to believe that after so many years of neglect, my father would show up to the hospital in search of me because this was definitely not a coincidence.It wasn't a coincidence that he chose to walk into this particular hospital, pass through the outer lobby a

    THEAThe slap that led to all of these replayed in my head. Maybe I did blame myself earlier for Lily's abduction, afterall it was me Sarah was mad at. But now that I think about it, if she had just been sensible and didn't raise her hand to hit me, maybe we wouldn't be here right now.If anything, I hated Sarah more than ever now for whatsoever she put Lily through. Lily looked like a shadow of herself and it scared me so much. Judging from the little I had seen of Sarah, I could imagine she starved my baby of food and most likely put her through pain. She looked frail and she didn't deserve to go through all of these at such a young age.I didn't know when the tears began to fall from my face neither did I try to stop them, I let them flow freely while hugging Lily tightly. "I missed you so much and I'm sorry baby. I'm sorry I let you out of my sight," I whispered into her ears."I'm sorry Lily," Tyler apologized. I resented him a lot because I trusted him to keep watch over Lily as

    TYLERI gripped Thea's hand as we sat in the car ready to go to the location. Inputting the coordinates into the GPS, I stared at her and nodded my head "let's do this.""Hell yeah, let's get our daughter back."Inwardly, I knew I was scared, but I couldn't show it. The maniac like laughter of the kidnapper over the phone scared me, what if she was mentally unstable? What if she doesn't release Lily after everything? There were so many what ifs in my head, it was hard to concentrate."Are you okay?" Thea asked as I drove."Sure I'm fine, I just want to get Lily back," I lied."Take a left turn ahead."As directed by the GPS, I turned into the pathway which looked like it led into the woods. Thea's breath hitched audibly as we kept on going and lost track of humans and normal surroundings."You'll arrive at your destination in a minute," the GPS informed.There was a cabin out front and I wondered if that was it.My phone screen lit up with a text message from the kidnapper, we were be

    THEAI heard the woman's sinister laughter as she said, "Anything? Are you willing to sacrifice your own life for your daughter? You would do that?"As I saw the tears welled up in Tyler's eyes, I saw he choked back his emotions, probably because he did not want me to break down into tears. He couldn't lose Lily as much as I couldn't, I saw in his eyes that he loved that girl more than gold and silver and when he said, "Yes! I'll give anything if it means Lily's safety. Just tell me what I need to do and where you want to get it from." I knew this was true love from a father to his daughter.I was shocked that Tyler was ready to give everything for the sake of Lily and I knew how much he had suffered to take his company to great heights. I had always known that he was a driven and ambitious person, but I had never realized just how much he had sacrificed for the sake of his business. He had sacrificed a lot, he built up my father's crumbling company. As I thought about it, I could ima

    THEA"I just want my daughter..." I said that in my mind after calming my nerves. I sat on the warm sofa, but to me, with my heavy heart, it felt like I was on a cold, vinyl chair in the hospital or the police station, my heart was heavy with worry and my mind racing with thoughts of my missing daughter, Lily. And Tyler, sat across from me, his eyes filled with a mixture of guilt and determination, the policeman was still around and he worked a great deal before I calmed down.From where I sat, I knew Tyler wanted to reach out to me, he did reach out, apologising but I pulled away from him, my anger and resentment still raw. "What good are your apologies now, Tyler? Where is Lily? I trusted you with her."Tyler didn't look at me, he faced the policeman directly. His jaw clenched in determination. "We need to find her. I can't just sit here and do nothing, waiting for your men to find herThe man nodded, his heart heavy with grief. "Yes, we need to find her. And trust me with this, I

    THEAIt'd been three days without my baby. Although she wasn't so much of a baby anymore, her absence hit me hard. It gave me time to reflect on many things but I was so used to her presence, it left me longing to see her. Tyler couldn't even call me in the midst of his enjoyment with my daughter. She's his daughter too but she was mine for now, I did raise her on my own. The way things had taken a turn still surprised me. I wasn't so sure if my decisions, but they seemed the best fit for the situations at hand.I bought a new bow and a new game pad on my way to his house. It was going to be a surprise visit, I wanted to catch them in the act. I wondered which games they could have been playing. Sometimes, seeing them together brought tears to my eyes. I had a lot of regrets, but I couldn't count giving birth to my daughter as one. She'd been my greatest blessing. My own father abandoned me, and I know it was unfair to keep the secret of her father away from her. They bonded anyways,
