Thorns of the Heart Chapter 125
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

Madison’s POVI tried pulling his hand away. Leaving the place didn't seem like a good idea for me. We would just be getting on the bad side of his family especially his mum.“I don't like that girl at all. Now she made Tyler just walk out of his birthday party!” I heard Mrs. Vivian’s scream inside and Tyler was about to head back inside but I held him back by holding his arm.“What do you think you are doing? Don't go back in and say something that you will regret later.” I told him with a frown and he sighed.“Why would she say something like that? She isn’t being reasonable at all.” he said and raised his voice.“You still don't have the right to shout or say something rude to her. Don't forget that she is your mum. She deserves that respect.” I reminded him and he nodded with a frown.“She knows that it's my birthday. How could she just ruin my mood like this? Why invite Brenda to a place at such a time? What's her deal? I am really pissed off right now.” he complained and started

Madison’s POV I was seething in anger while being in the car. The fact that he still turned around and waited for me to go when Brenda called him meant that he was not over her at all. “Ma’am are you okay?” Mark asked me and looked at me through the front mirror. I nodded at him and gave him a forced smile. “I am fine. There’s nothing wrong.” I replied and he didn't look convinced. I kept reminding myself that this marriage wasn't for love in the first place so he had the right to do what he wanted. “Do you want to be alone for a while? I can park and give you some time for yourself.” he asked again. How do I look that makes him to keep asking. “I am seriously fine. Thanks for worrying but it's nothing, seriously. I just need to get some rest. That's all.” “Okay fine. Are we waiting for him or should we go?” he asked me. We parked that car away from the restaurant but we could still see Tyler and Brenda talking. He wasn't even walking away but stood and heard what she was about

Madison’s POVThe early sun creeped into my room and entered my eyes which made me toss around my bed. I eventually work up after trying to block the sun out of my eyes. I must have forgotten to close my curtains at night.After Tyler walked away I went straight to bed and he didn’t bother to check up on me.My room door was knocked slightly. “Who is that?” I asked after a while.“It’s me Maddy. Sir Tyler has gone to work and you haven’t come down for breakfast yet so I was worried.” She shouted over the door then opened it slightly.I yawned and then smiled sheepishly as her when she noticed that I just woke up. My hair was disheveled and I was glad that it wasn’t Tyler that saw me like that. He could have teased me all day for it.“He didn’t even have the guts to explain his actions yesterday. Coward.” I muttered to myself.“What did you say?” Mrs Sophia asked and I smiled. “Nothing. I will be down soon.” I told her and she nodded then closed the room door.I got down from the bed a

Madison’s POV“Enough talking about that. Let's go have breakfast.” he said and went past me. I followed him downstairs quietly and we went to the dining table.Mrs. Sophia already had everything on that table for us to eat. “Why are you eating? I thought you forgot something. Shouldn’t you be rushing back to the office now?” I asked him after a moment of silence.“I didn't take anything thus morning so I figured out that I could just eat with you before leaving.” he said and went back to putting all his focus on the food.“You’re gonna make me lose my appetite. What's with the intense stare?” he asked me and looks at me.I looked away and cleared my throat. “Did you have fun last night?” I asked him and he chuckled.“Did it look like I did? You saw how everything went bizarre. Nothing went well yesterday. Why are you asking me an obvious answer?” he asked me and I laughed slightly.“You may choke. Be careful.” he said when my laugh turned into a full blown cough. He passed me the wat

Madison’s POVTyler left the house after that and I went to look for Mrs Sophia. She was just in the kitchen just as I thought. “I knew that I would find you here this time round.” I said when I bumped into her and she laughed.She was wearing an apron by the way. “Has he gone?” she asked me and I nodded.“Yes. He just left for work.”“It seems like you both have resolved the issue. I am glad. I told you that it wasn't like that.” she said and I smiled.“How was Brenda?” I asked her out of curiosity and she laughed.“What do you mean?”“How was she? Did she come here often or what?” I asked her and she cleared her throat so I went to get her some water. She took it and then drank it.“I always knew that she wasn't right for him but Tyler loved her so much that he wasn't paying attention to what some people said around him.” she started and I nodded.“I was with Tyler throughout hus childhood so I knew him fairly.“ she said.“You know him very well. I wouldn't say fairly.” I told her a

She looked at me and busted out in laughter. That's when I knew that she was just kidding. “I was just messing around with you. If Tyler says that you shouldn't leave the house then that must be the best decision for now. Just wait for a little bit. He will get everything together soon.” she said and I nodded.“I plan on visiting my mum though.” I told her.“You should do that. You can't stay here all day and the driver will take you there. You don't mind that at all right?” she asked and I nodded.“My daughter is here with my granddaughter. I have to leave now.” she said and at the same time, the oven made a sound to tell us that the timing was over and I laughed.“Just in time. Can they come in? I kind of want to see your granddaughter.” I asked her.“I am not sure. I am not used to bringing my family members here.” she said.“You don't have to do it if you don't want to. I can see that you are uncomfortable with it.” I told her.“I am not. I don't want to burden you. She is such a

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
Thorns of the Heart Chapter 196
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
Thorns of the Heart Chapter 192
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
