Thorns of the Heart Chapter 109
Madison’s POVWe turned around in shock when we heard the person suddenly speak. I saw Matthew by the door frame. 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

Madison's POVTyler’s sister, Audrey stood by the door with a smile on her face. “Hi.”she said when she noticed that I was still standing by the door.“Who is that?” Tyler asked me from the kitchen. She held her lips hand to her lips to tell me not to talk.She walked into the house and I closed the door. “What are you doing here? Who brought you?” I asked her and she rolled her eyes.“You all treat me like I am a child.” she pouted.“Well you are actually one.” I told her.“I am ten. That's a big number.” she said and I laughed. “Okay then. You are a big girl. Who came with you? You were meant to be with mum and dad.” I said to her referring to Tyler’s parent’s.“Stop with all the questions already. Let's go in.” she held my hand and we headed to the living room where they all sat. Gem was waiting for Tyler and I to take her to school.“T!” she shouted and went to hug him. He looked so startled by what she did and he looked at her face once more then his face brightened up.“You didn

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

Madison’s POV“What are you doing with that woman? Don't you listen?” his mum shouted from a distance away and we all started at her.Tyler dropped the boy down and he ran to his mum. “I realized that what I said yesterday was a little bit harsh but that doesn't mean that you would follow us around. Are you kidding me right now?” she scoffed while looking at me in disbelief.“Did you rent the ice cream parlor?” I asked her and she seemed to stunned to speak. I was tired of speaking to her calmly. I didn't do anything wrong so I shouldn't be feeling sad or guilty.“I didn't but then..” she started.“But then what? You didn't rent out that while place and you want me to not come here just because you said some stupid things yesterday?” I asked her and she glared me.“You seem to be also very rude. Why would you talk in this manner to me?” she shouted.“I only talk to people in the same way they talk to me. I can't really teach a dog how to speak can I.” I said and she gasped.“Did you j

Madison’s POVTyler didn't reply me after my statement and we drove back home in silent. “I have to hurry to the office. Please don't do anything reckless like you did you yesterday.” he said and a frown fell on my lips.I know that we are married but he keeps crossing that lime by acting like he is my real husband. I can go out if I want to.“I can go out if I want to. There is no need for you to be like this.” I told him in a straightforward manner.“I am just trying to protect you. Didn't you just hear what that lady had to say about you?” he asked me with shock on his face.Audrey was in the living room with us watching a movie. “You are the one that told me to not care about what people thinks or say about me. Why are you backing out from your own words now?”“That’s because you do. You care about what people say and think about you, Madison. If you go out and that affect you what will you do then? What if you do something crazy?”“Like killing myself? C’mon. Give me a break. I a

Madison’s POV“What do you want to do?” she asked me back and I tried to think of something but it was just impossible. I just wanted to stay in bed all day and do nothing else. That was the therapy that I needed right now.“Let’s bake then.” she said excitedly and I felt my eyes widen. I couldn't even cook very well and this girl wants me to bake? Does she want me to burn down this house.I laughed nervously and scratched my head. “I can't actually bake so we have to think of something else.” I told her honestly and she smiled.“I know you can't bake but I can. Mum bakes all the time due to boredom and I picked one and two things from her.” she said smoothly and I gasped.“Are you serious? What can you bake then?” I asked her and she thought for while.“Just the basics. I am still learning. I can only make cakes, cupcakes and cookies for now she said.“Those are not the basics. You can even start your business with just those three. I have a lot to learn from you.” I squealed and she

Madison’s POVWe got out of the grocery store and I turned to Audrey quickly. I was expecting her to explain what she just did but she had a neutral expression on her face and a smile on her lips.“Why did you say that? I am not your mum of course and how can that woman say that. You are thirteen. Do I look that old to have you as a child?” I was rambling at this point and she clicked her tongue.“Its possible. You should be 18 or 19 years old if you gave birth to me ten years ago.” she said smoothly and we walked to the car.Mr. Mark came down from the car when he is noticed us and took the bags from our hands. “You don't need to do thay. It isn't even that heavy.” I told him but he still got it.“But it's heavy. Why are you lying?” she asked me and I but my lips. She is still a child so she couldn't understand why I did that.“Won’t you explain what happened inside?” I asked her again when he sat in the car. Mr. Mark started the ignition and drove.“You have to be quick witted.” she

Madison’s POV“Audrey!” I said while tapping her. She fell asleep so fast for a ride that was just thirty minutes.“I fell asleep. My muscles are so sore.” she woke up and said then stretched out her hands. “Come on. Let's go inside.” I carried her out of the car and we all headed inside. Mr. Mark was behind us with the bags in his hand.“Thanks Mark.” Audrey said and he nodded before he left.“This is where the real work begins. We have a lot of work to do.” she said then bent her hand to show that she was getting prepared. I laughed at her cuteness.“What are you saying? We? I thought that you were doing it alone? I mean…you said that you are an expert in this field.” I told her nervously and she looks at me like I am a joke.“You keep surprising me every minute. Wait. You wanted a thirteen year old to do everything by herself?” she asked I nodded.“Yes. That's because you said that you could do it alone.” I replied and she chuckled.“You are so entertaining. Most people will sugges

I knew how important this event was, and my heart was racing with happiness as I waited for my bride.As I walked around in a classy and charming black suit, I couldn’t help but notice the little things that made my outfit special. The suit fit my body perfectly and hugged me in all the right places. The jacket had a slim fit that drew attention to my broad shoulders, and the pants were expertly made to make me look sharp and stylish.The fabric was a high-end mix of fine wool and silk. It had a light sheen that made the outfit look a little more glamorous. The suit’s black color was classic and timeless, which matched both my great taste and the seriousness of the event. A thin satin trim around the lapels added a modest but elegant touch that made the whole look better.A crisp white dress shirt t

Madison’s POVThree months laterAs Tyler and I entered the sleek, modern office building, a wave of anticipation and nervousness filled the air. The hallway seemed to stretch forever as we approached the glass doors leading to the boardroom. I could feel Tyler’s steady presence beside me, providing a reassuring anchor amid the storm of feelings brewing inside me.The moment we stepped into the meeting, all eyes turned towards us. The muted hum of talks stopped, replaced by the palpable tension that gripped the room. I kept a composed exterior, channeling the confidence Tyler had instilled in me throughout this ordeal.Leonard Byers, sitting at the head of the table, looked up from his papers, his expression shifting from indifference to shock as he registered my presence. The board members, accustomed to his authoritative demeanor, reflected his astonishment.

Madison’s POV“What’s going on in here?” my mom asked, my eyes narrowing as I took in the emotional environment.I quickly wiped away my tears, trying to calm myself. “Mom, we’re just talking,” I said.Tyler nodded in agreement, his eyes never leaving mine. “We’re having a heart-to-heart. 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? Tyler, you had your chance, and you blew it. You can’t just expect to walk bac

Tyler’s POVI reassured myself, “Headaches are not unusual after a head injury. We’ll monitor her closely and adjust the treatment as required. 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. Doctor Bennet turned to Madison’s mother with a serious look.“Mrs. Byers, I would like to discuss some important issues with you. Can you please join me in my office? We can talk more freely there,” Doctor Bennet offered.Madison’s mother looked concerned but nodded. “Of course, doctor. I’ll be right there. Madison, I’ll be back soon. Try to get some rest, sweetheart,” she said, gently kissing her daughter’s face.As Mrs. Byers stepped out of the room with Doctor Bennet, I looked at them with interest. Doctor Bennet gave me a wink, signaling that he wanted to give me the chance to talk to Madison without any interruptions by her mom.I felt a mix of feel

Madison’s POVI could feel Madison's heavy gaze on me. Her eyes were looking for answers I didn't want to give. As I took a deep breath, I felt the inner conflict of wanting to be honest while also keeping her from any possible pain."Madison," I said first, carefully choosing my words, "I need to do something." I want to get the doctor to explain everything to you. I'll be back right away, all right?" I smiled at them to make them feel better, thinking that would help.Her face furrowed even more, and her eyes showed that she was suspicious. "Tyler, why do you look so scared? What do you not want to tell me?" My voice wavered with a mix of frustration and worry.I paused, my eyes locking onto hers. "It's not about being scared, Madison. I just believe it's best if the doctor explains the problem to you. They have all the knowledge, and I want you to hear it from a professional."She tried to sit up again, and there was a sense of urgency in her moves. "Tyler, you can't just leave me

Thorns of the Heart Chapter 194
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

Tyler’s POV"But what of her mum? How will I convince her I mean her daughter no harm?" I asked, my worry etched across my face. Dr. Bennett leaned back in his chair, considering the question. "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. Your advice means a lot. I'll do my best to be patient and understandi

Tyler’s POVAs I approached Room 203, I took another deep breath, steeling myself for the upcoming conversation. 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
