Thorns of the Heart Chapter 119
Madison’s POVI got into the house after she left with the driver and it was almost time for Tyler to get home. I didn’t know what to do at all. “Should I let him know that I am going to surprise him or should I just do it?” I thought to myself.I got some decorations from the mall and I needed someone to fix them up with me so I called Rose. “What are you doing now? Are you still at work?” I asked her.“I just got off work. What’s the matter?” She asked me through the call.“If you don’t mind could you come to my house? I need your help.” I asked her.“Why? Is something wrong? Did that bitch come again? I am coming right away.” She shouted.“That’s not it.” I shouted but she already hung up.“I don’t know who is more crazy between her and I.” I said then laughed.I went to the kitchen then went over to the cake that she made. I packed up the circle one for her. She insisted on the burnt one and I don’t know why.“She is such a sweetheart.” I said then smiled. I took the icing then wr

Madison’s POV“I can go through the back door. I don't want him to think that you just got all this done.” Rose suggested as we looked at the door. He was already putting that passcode to come into the house.“You are going to far. It's not wrong for him to know. He is going to know eventually. I can't cook to save my life or have to forgotten?” I asked her and she laughed.“I actually forgot for a second. Let’s just finish up. At least let him know the effort that you put into this this even though you are still facing some issues.” she said and I nodded.We hung the birthday decorations on the wall then lit up the candles. “I might as well just get a ring. This looks like I am proposing to him.” I laughed as we looked at what we had done.“That’s good. It should be as nice as that. Men deserve such things too.” she said then picked up her bag from that couch.“I will get going now. Call me and give me the details of everything. “she said and was about to walk when I held her hand.“

Rose’s POV“I should have just left the place when Maddy told me to.” I said to myself while remembering when they locked their lips in front of me.“Why did she have to call him to pick me? Gosh. I will just pretend like I didn't know about it.”I sighted his car as I got out of their house but I continued walking down the street to get a taxi. “You can't tell me that you didn't see my car parked just in front of the house Rose!” Andy shouted beside me in his car.I ignored him and plucked my earphone in my ear. The place was already getting so dark and j was finding it hard to make my way about.My leg hit a stone and I fell down on the ground. “Ow!” I shouted and turned on my phone torch.“You should have just stopped walking. You have injured yourself now.” Andy said beside me then lifted me up.“I don't need your help. Stop doing all of this.” I pushed him.“I am not doing anything. You fell down and I helped you up. Is that so wrong for me to do?” Andy asked me. I could feel his

Madison’s POV“Are you ready?” Tyler shouted from downstairs while I dressed up in the room.After he left upstairs, we decided to dress up and eat then go to the dinner afterwards. That sounds foolish right? Eating right after steak.Tyler persisted in us eating before going because he thought that I put in a lot of thoughts into doing everything for his birthday.“Can I come in?” He asked form outside of my room door. “Come in.” I answered and he walked in and saw me inside struggling with my gown zip.“You should have just asked for my help. Where you always this stubborn?” He laughed and walked towards me.“I thought that you would be busy and I didn’t know that the zip would be so hard to do by myself.”“Stop talking now and turn around.” He said and I looked at him.“Why are you feeling embarrassed? I have seen all of this before.” He said and I felt my cheeks burn up.“You don’t have to say it like that. It’s been so long already. What are you saying?” I laughed and he turned m

Mrs Vivian’s POV“Have you called him yet? It’s almost time for the dinner.” I told my husband, Drake who was taking his coffee in the living room.“Stop talking coffee. Who takes coffee in the evening?” I was about to take it from his hand but he moved it away.“What is it? That’s what I want to take now. Leave me alone woman.” He said and looked away from me.“You haven’t still called him right? I knew it!That’s why I wanted to do it myself. What do you even like about that girl?” I raised my voice and he looked at me.“Today is his birthday. He deserves so time with his wife to celebrate before meeting with his family in general. Leave them alone Vivian.” He warned me and I placed the phone down .“I just want to see my son. You know how much he is busy with work and now that girl is keeping him away from us. Don’t you see that?” I asked him and he clicked his tongue.“Can you hear yourself? That’s why she is his wife. She is his first priority now. They are a family. Just stop it
Thorns of the Heart Chapter 124
Madison’s POVWe left the house and Mark drove us to the restaurant that we will be having the dinner. “Everyone is going to be there?” I asked him for the third time already in the ride and he held my hand.“I know that you are nervous but don’t let it show or my mum will use that.” He said and I nodded.“I can’t help it. She is always on my neck and I don’t know why. I have never done anything to her right?” I asked him and he nodded with a sigh.“Don’t think too much of it. She is just overprotective of me and you know that she was against all this.” He said and I nodded.I could still remember how she offered me a load of cash to leave Tyler alone. I couldn’t bring myself to accept it at all and I never told Tyler about it either. It will just cause troubles if I did.“You still look really nervous. Should I open the window?” He asked and I nodded. Maybe the cold air would calm me down. He did that and I put my face close to the window.“Make sure that you don’t wear so much emoti

Madison’s POV “Why are you talking to your mother in such a tone? Stop it Audrey!” Drake scolded her and she frowned. “It wouldn’t change the fact that she is just being unecesarily rude to Tyler’s wife.” She spoke again and i stiffed my laugh. She wasn’t even scared to talk after what her dad said. “It’s okay now. This is a dinner for celebration. No one should be rude now.” He said and everyone kept quiet after that. “Whose bag is this? Are they already here?” Tyler asked and I noticed the bag beside me. I sat beside Tyler and Tyler sat beside Audrey. There was still about five empty seats yet to be filled. “Who is the ‘they’?” Drake asked and Tyler chuckled. I could feel how nervous he was. I am sure he didn’t even tell anyone that he was also inviting my family. “I also invited Madisson’s family here. This is a family dinner so I wanted them to be here also.” He said and Drake smiled. “Thank goodness. Why didn’t I even think of that? You must be happy Maddy. That’s good Tyle

Madison's POVBrenda. She was making her way to us in a white fitted dress. I could agree that she looked really good for someone that isn't wanted here but what pissed me off the most was the smirk that was on her lips.“Mum, what is she doing here?” Tyler boomed and we all looked at him.It was then that I noticed the smile on Mrs Vivian’s face. She must have been the one that invited her. I wasn't surprised of course. She has always liked her and even wanted her for Tyler.“Why are you asking me that? Isn't she headed here? When she comes then ask her about it.” she said and Tyler adjusted in his seat.I could still see the effect she had on him. He put on a confident look on his face but I could still see how he rubbed his hands together anxiously underneath the table.He looked at me and I couldn't meet his eyes so I avoided his eye contact.Brenda eventually got here after walking in slow motion so that we could all notice that she was there. She was about to take her seat oppos

Tyler’s POVI was feeling a mix of joy and nervousness as I stood in front of the altar. Finally, the day Madison and I would be married was here. It was the moment I had been waiting for. 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. Tyler and I moved confidently to an open space, ready to face the truth.“Miss Johnson,” Leonard stammered, trying to regain h

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
