Madison’s POV

I held onto the phone with my hands shaking. “Are you alright Mrs Madison?” Sarah asked again and I looked at her through the FaceTime.

“I am good Sarah. Can I call you back? I have to do something urgently.” I told her and cut the call without waiting for her response.

“Do you think this is all that it would take for you to take the company from me? You must be joking then.” I replied to Leonard.

I went upstairs then changed my dress into a suitable outfit. I was determined to talk to Leonard today.

My phone rang and I picked it without checking who the caller was. “I didn’t think that you would pick it.” Leonard said with an amused voice.

“I wouldn’t have done it if I thought that it was you. Let’s meet.” I told him straightforwardly.

“I am sorry but I can’t do that. I am busy preparing for another Board Meeting.” He said and I stopped walking. I was heading to the house door.

“What are you saying? Which board meeting again?” I asked him and he laughed.

    Madison’s POV“I don't think that you should be here. The looks can kill.” he laughed and I faced him back. I wore the face cap that I brought along with me.“Now are you ready to answer my questions?” he asked me.“Why did you get rid of the baby? Did you think that it will make you a stronger competition to me? That's so cruel.” he said and I rolled my eyes.“What are you saying? Why will I kill my child because of you?” I scoffed.“Then why did you kill it then? Because of Tyler? Where you tired of him and you just wanted to remove the thing that made you two to stay together?” He asked.“Stop saying nonsense. I never did anything to him. I just had a miscarriage. You didn’t dig in well when you were finding out about all this things.” I told him and he smirked.“Of course I knew about that. But that won’t make it nice so I added some other things to make the headlines hot.”“You are a lunatic.” I told him and he laughed.“I don’t even know why I am here with you. You disgust me.”

How dare she say something like that about you?” She shouted in anger and u brought her closer to me.“You don’t need to mind that at all. What are you doing here? Why aren’t you in school?” I narrowed my eyes at her and she sighed.“I haven’t seen you in a long time and after seeing the news today I wanted to just meet you.” She said and sat in the other swing beside me.“How about school ? You shouldn’t have skipped school like that.” I scolded her and she laughed.“I would have skipped it anyway even if something wasn’t up so this was refute my worth it.” She said and I smacked her back.“Ouch! Maddy. I came to check up on you and you are scolding me.” She shouted and I sighed.“How did you know that I was here? You school is quiet far from here.” I asked her.“I went to the house but no one was there so I was walking down the road when I saw y

    Madison’s POV“What are you saying? Since when do you address him like that?” I asked and then laughed. When she wanted something she would use any means to get it.“I just want to stay here! It's way better than it is at home. I just want somewhere that I can have some peace.” she groaned and my gaze on her softened.“Mum’s condition is also stressing you out right? I told you that if you ever feel tired let Andy and I know about it. You don't have to act so strong when I am here for you.” I told her and she groaned.“Stop talking to me like I am a child. I am not!” she said and jumped on the bed.“You are a child Gem. You are just sixteen years old. What do you think you are then?”“At least don't make me so emotional. You know how I hate that.” she said to me and j nodded. “I forgot about that for a second. Have fun but not too much fun. You will start college in few years time. You need to boost your grades .”I told her and she faked a yawned.“I understand what you mean siz, an y

    Madison's POVGem turned to me with a frown on her face and I laughed. “It isn't funny, Maddy. You know how I wanted to stay here:” she complained and I looked at Tyler.“That's what he just said. This is his house and I have no say in things concerning it.” I told her honestly and she frowned more.“What do you mean by you don't have a say in it? He is your husband and this is his house. Everything that’s his is also yours then.” she said and I laughed.“Stop it. Stop acting like a child and go to bed already. You have to go back to school tomorrow.” I told her and she nodded after a while.“You could have at least convinced your friend. I can't believe that I had a crush on you just a minute ago,” she spoke to Matthew this time then went upstairs.“I'm so sorry about her. I don't know what's wrong with her today. She's being so childish.” I apologized to Matthew and he smiled.“It is fine. It's nothing. I always get hit on by girls. I didn't just think that a teen would do the same.

    Madison’s POVI pulled away from him quickly and cleared my throat while avoiding his eyes. “Where did you go?” He asked again while searching for my eyes.“I just took a stroll down the street. I was tired of just sitting at home. It was so boring.” I told him and he frowned.“Why are you lying?” He asked calmly and my mouth opened in shock.“I don’t know what you are talking about. What are you saying?” I stuttered and he came closer to me.“You just took a stroll and you smell like a man’s cologne? Your sister is magically in the house too? Make that make sense to me, Madison.” He said and I cleared my throat once again.I wanted to tell him about it before meeting up with Leonard but I couldn’t just do it. I knew that there was a possibility that he would storm in there and cause a scene. I already had enough for the day.“Umm. So the thing is…” I scratched behind my ear while thinking of a way to lay everything out for him.“It’s fine. You don’t have to tell me about it. It’s you

Leaning on it.“What are you saying?” Tyler laughed and Matthew walked inside dining room.“You both just seemed so intense about what you were talking about so I said that.” He said and I looked down.“That’s funny. Don’t say that and make her uncomfortable.” Tyler said and I smiled at him.“Thank you. I really appreciate.” I muttered to him and he nodded.“Why don’t we all go to bed now? It’s getting so late already.” Tyler suggested and I nodded.“Is he sleeping over? What’s wrong?” I asked Tyler while referring to his friend.“He is. He has a meeting with me in my office and he just wanted to stay here for a while but then Clara and we had our own issue so that’s why.”I headed to my room after that. I made sure to close the curtains. I didn’t want the early morning sun to shine on my face.“Goodnight.” I heard outside my door before my eyes dropped.****I felt my bod

That's a big number.” she said and I laughed. “Okay then. You are a big girl. Who came with you?

    Madison’s POV“Is Audrey always this blunt?” I asked Tyler as we drove to Gem’s school. It was just a five minutes drive. That's why it was so easy for her to come to look for me in the house yesterday.“She is way worst than that. She was actually being more soft because it was your sister. She adores you.” he said and I smiled.“That’s really nice to hear. She adores me.” I whispered to myself then took a peek at the children at the back. They refused to look at each other.“Can we go to the ice cream parlor after this?” Audrey asked breaking the silence in the car. I sighed in relief and then waited for Tyler to answer her.“No Audrey. It's too early for that. You can have a tooth ache.” Tyler tells her and she frowns.“Having ice cream a day won’t just give me a toothache immediately. You know that mum or dad won’t do that for me. I can't believe you are so uptight like them.” she huffed and stared at the window.Tyler was lost for words after she spoke. “Uptight? What are you say

I wanted to be honest with Madison about everything.”My mom’s eyes narrowed further, her worry escalating into frustration. “Honest conversation? Tyler, after everything that happened in the past, you think you can just waltz back into my daughter’s life and have a ‘heart-to-heart’? What gives you that right?”Tyler sighed, understanding the gravity of the situation. “Mrs. Anderson, I know I messed up in the past. I hurt Madison, and I take full blame for that. But people can change, and I want to make amends. I love your daughter, and I want to be there for her.”My mom crossed her arms, her anger obvious. “Change? Love?

The goal is to make her as comfortable as possible during the healing process.”Once Madison’s pain medication was administered, she started to relax, with the sharp pain gradually subsiding.

    Madison’s POVI lay on the narrow hospital bed, my eyes half-closed, trying to make sense of the fuzzy shapes around me. The sterile scent of the hospital room filled my nose, and the rhythmic beeping of machines provided a disconcerting soundtrack to my hazy thoughts. The pain on my side felt like a sharp jab, a constant reminder of something I couldn't quite grasp.I heard my mom's voice in the distance, a comforting murmur that reassured me, "You'll be fine, Madison. The doctors are taking care of you." It was a distant echo, like a lifeline connecting me to the world outside my foggy cocoon. I tried to focus on the words, to find solace in them, but the pain and dizziness were relentless.A nurse came in, her friendly face obscured by a mask, and checked the machines that surrounded me. "How are you feeling, sweetie?" the nurse asked, her voice a gentle melody. I managed a weak smile, attempting to convey that I was okay even though I wasn't entirely sure.The nurse adjusted some

"Building trust with Madison's mother will also take time. It's crucial to be patient and show through your actions that your intentions are sincere. Avoid confrontations, be respectful, and give her the space she might need to process everything."I sighed, a mix of frustration and understanding. "I just don't want to be seen as the bad guy here. I genuinely care about Maddison, and I want her to have all the support she needs."Dr. Bennett nodded in agreement. "It's evident, Tyler. Just be yourself and focus on being a positive presence. Actions often speak louder than words, and with time, her mother may come to see your genuine concern for Maddison's well-being."Feeling a bit more assured, I nodded. "Thanks, Dr. Bennett.

I raised my hand, and with a tentative knock, I announced my presence.“Come in,” a voice called from within the room.I pushed the door open and entered, finding a comfortable-looking office with a desk cluttered with papers. Dr. Bennett, with his graying hair, looked up from his work, offering me a reassuring smile.“Tyler, finally you are here. Please, have a seat,” he gestured towards the chair across from his desk.I hesitated for a moment, feeling a mix of nervousness and relief as he took the offered seat. The chair creaked slightly under his weight as he settled in, glancing around the room at the diplomas and medical charts adorning the walls.“Thanks, Dr. Bennett,” I mumbled, shifting uncomfortably in his seat. “Sorry I’m late. Got a bit turned around in this place. It’s like a maze.”Dr. Bennett chuckled warmly, “No worries, Tyler. Hospitals can be confusing. I’m
