THEA

He wants a second chance, yet he runs off right in the middle of a date with no explanation? Confusion was an understatement and I was extremely angry; angry at how he ruined the night I didn't want to admit I was enjoying so much. As much as I was angry, I couldn't help but be worried too; I was really worried. I had no idea where he ran off to and there was no logical explanation but I could tell from his lack of composure that something was seriously wrong.

I sat for a while, staring at the large trays of food in front of me and fumbling with my fork. Tyler's dramatic exit had somehow drained me of my full appetite and all I did now was try to pinpoint where he might have run off to, buti just couldn't think of anything that would make him run off like that.

A notification sound drew my attention back to my surroundings and then it didn't stop, chime after chime each second until I picked up my phone and the reason why Tyler had run off lay in front of me on the screen. "What

    THEA"Hi Thea." After about two minutes of staring, Tyler got himself together and finally uttered words. "What are you doing here?"My brows creased into a frown, what did he mean by that? I felt offended, first he runs off and now this? The displeasure must have shown on my face, hiding my feelings wasn't really a me thing."I'm so sorry Thea, I didn't mean it that way. I also didn't mean to leave you in the restaurant by yourself, I just didn't want you getting dragees into all these mess but oh well I guess the media did their thing. I'm-" I placed a finger on his lips shutting him up. "It's fine Tyler."It was evident from his composure that he wasn't himself, he was confused and tired. All he did was nod continuously before turning to face his building, watching it as it burnt down to ashes. Whatever or whoever set up this fire had to be an expert, somehow the fire didn't go out, at least not completely despite the efforts of the firefighters.I noticed Tyler grip his trousers b

    TYLERI watched Thea stir on my thighs, her hair spilled all around her, draping against my legs. I ran my hands through the soft long strands, feeling them slip through my fingers.For the love of all things good, she was beautiful.And I was a damned idiot.Her eyes fluttered open revealing piercing blue orbs that stared up at me drowsily. I gave a weak smile, unaware of what else to do. I hadn't expected she would stay through the entire night, I had hoped she would however. Everything seemed to fall apart when she wasn't there."Hey," She murmured, her voice soft and husky."Hey," I called back, reaching for her face. Without thinking , I ran my hands over her nose. It was cute and turned up giving her a somewhat haughty look. I loved that it fitted right on her adorable face. Loved the surprised gasp that slipped from her lips.My eyes fell on her parted lips and my throat worked up and down as I swallowed. She had the perfect mouth. Full pink lips with the most seductive bow I

    THEAI walked through the front door of my house, and a wave of relief washed over me when I saw Sebastian sitting on the couch, looking much better than he had been just yesterday. His pale complexion had regained some colour, and his eyes which were kind of blue no longer filled with exhaustion. He must have heard about his burnt company and he seemed to be taking it well, at least not so well, but he didn't let it show. I should have stayed with him but then Tyler also needed me, he had no one to take care of him, as I was now friends with him, the least I could do was to stay when he wasn't okay. I smiled at the thought of waking up to feel his touch.His touch, I remembered it like the back of my palm and the thought turned everything feminine in me on. Tyler could wreck me, he could build me, he could hurt me, and he could make me crave his touch over and over again. But then, I feel I'm moving this way too fast. Tyler wanted nothing more than to take care of Lily, I mustn't let

    TYLERI took a deep breath, gathering my thoughts before I began to share my story. Sitting across from her, I could see the concern etched on her face. It was difficult to talk about this, but I knew it was necessary. She was the mother of my child and there were certain things she had to know about me. I took a deep breath, knowing she was attentive, and listening to me."I guess it all started when I was just a kid, let's say five or six." I began, my voice trembling slightly until I found composure. "My parents... they weren't exactly the loving and caring type, not like the parents of my friends in school who would come to pick up their kids after school and pack their lunch. Mine were never like that, they were abusive, both physically and emotionally." As I spoke, memories flooded back, vivid and painful. I closed my eyes for a moment, trying to steady myself. "As I grew older, I found solace in drugs and sex. To escape from the pain at home, I turned to drugs and sex, I had my

    SARAHThe anger evaporated into irritation and hatred and damn...I sat in the cosy coffee store across the street from Tyler's house - the store was cosy because of the warmth of the coffee and it was supposed to make me feel at home. But my heart, pounding with a mix of anger, sadness and made it all uncomfortable. I watched that woman, Booker, leave Tyler's house. She just left his place, confirming my suspicions that there was another woman in his life. It all made sense now even though Tyler had corrected some mistakes of the media on the news about him and the 'Booker Greyson', It all made sense – Tyler had stopped our relationship, stopped returning my calls, and I couldn't understand why. But seeing that woman walking out of his house was like a punch to the gut.I watched as she walked down the street, her laughter echoing in my ears like a broken tape of the 1950s. Now it was clear that he had been seeing this woman behind my back. The news wasn't wrong after all. Tyler lef

    THEAI was dreaming... dreaming that I was seated with him and he was talking. I weighed his words, his pain and how he trusted me to have told me so much. He trusted me so much.He had started, telling the graphic story like I was there with him, he said, "... as I grew older, I found solace in drugs and sex. To escape from the pain at home, I turned to drugs and sex, I had my first penetration when I was fourteen, then again when I was sixteen and it was constant, every day I had sex and every day I took drugs."I saw him again, when he was little, I saw his Ma and Da physically grappling and he was there looking at them, I was like a statue, I couldn't move, I wanted to help him, to pull him away, it was then I heard a bang and slowly, the house I was in was fading and even little Tyler and his parents were fading, it took long to realize I was dreaming and not really in Tyler's old house. I was in Manhattan, on my bed and it was last night I saw Tyler and he told me this.I opened

    TYLER"Check your messages, it's on again!" I got those last words from my new manager and truly as I took my phone, I was faced with a barrage of messages on my phone, each one more alarming than the last. Each one tearing the tissues in my heart and making me sink back on my bed. Investors were cancelling their deals with my company, citing concerns about my personal life, citing concerns about my 'illegitimate child'. I had no idea what they were talking about, but the words "illegitimate child" and "bad father" kept popping up over and over again.I tried to shake off the confusion and focus on the situation at hand. My business was crumbling around me, and I had no idea how to stop it. I had just started to recover from the last scandal, when one of my companies got burnt down, I don't think I would ever recover from that, and now this new matter had arisen.I stumbled out of bed and made my way to the kitchen, still trying to process the news. My mind was racing with thoughts of

    TYLERI sat back in my chair, feeling a heavy weight lift off my shoulders. I felt a mix of relief and exhaustion after delivering that unbelievable speech at the conference. I never planned for this, but the instant I saw the news stories saying terrible things about Thea, I knew I had to do all in my power to get her out of the mess I caused - I don't even know how I caused it. On a normal day, if this was what I have been preparing for weeks, I would have been pouring over notes and rehearsing this delivery until I know in me that I was confident and prepared. But this, this came unexpectedly and I had to do the speech without rehearsing. And heaven knows as soon as I stepped onto the stage and began speaking, at first I was scared of what to say, and how my speech would sound like, as I began, I could feel the weight of the faces of the men I've worked with all my life bearing down upon me.If I lost it all, how would I live? How was I going to make ends meet. How am I supposed

    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,
