Thorns of the Heart Chapter 174
Madison’s POVWhat did he mean by what he just said? My head was spinning as I looked over the documents that were in my hand.There was no doubt that it was original. I looked at the name and found out that it was even our family lawyer that drafted it out. It seems like they were all trying to hide it and then Leonardo got hold of it.“What are you saying? Stop saying nonsense. Everyone knows how humble my father was. He wasn't involved in this kind of disgusting business!” I shouted at him. More like trying to convince myself that the documents that I am seeing right now isn't true.He stared at me for some seconds then bursted out in laughter. “You must have really had so much faith in your father. Wow. Such a lovely relationship that you both had.” he said and I rolled my eyes.“Do you really have to go this far just to get the company? When will you stop? You just lost your wife, your kids and your reputation. You are still hell-bent on going further!” I screamed at him and my f

Madison’s POVI was outside of the building waiting for Tyler to pick me up. He had to leave immediately after the scene that took place during Leonard’s inauguration because of an urgent meeting. His assistant called him to hurry to that office.I still couldn't believe what Leonard just showed and told me. It was very clear right now that it was all true but I was still in disbelief.“Did mum know about it? How about Gem and Andy? Gemina is a quick witted person. She must have known about it but might have been too scared to tell anyone about it.” I started asking myself but I couldn't give myself the answers.If he wanted me to give him that company and leave this city just so that he won't say these things about my dad then I would do it.I can’t even tell Tyler about all of this. It won't only affect his reputation but also his thought of my family and I. What if he thinks that I had an hidden agenda when we decided to have this contract marriage?Leonard already has all his plan

Madison’s POVI felt a light feather on my forehead and I groaned on the bed. It continued to my cheeks then it touched my lips. I rolled to that side of the bed and my head hit a rock which popped my eyes open.My face came in contact with Tyler’s own and I screamed and he covered my mouth. It was then that I started having flashbacks of everything that happened last night and my cheeks turned red.“What are you doing here?” I asked him and he smirked at me.“What do you mean? We had a good sex last night. Should I have left for my room after that? We both fell asleep after .” he said bluntly and I gasped while looking at him.“Do you have to say it like that?” I groaned and he busted out in laughter.“What are you getting shy for? You weren't shy at all last night.” he said and I covered my face in my embarrassment.“I need to shower. Leave the room.” I told him and he laughed again.“Why are you suddenly so shy? You can just go to that bathroom. I will leave the room soon to prepar

Tyler’s POVI drove away and reached my office in an hour time. Victoria was already waiting for me so she got my briefcase when she saw me and we made our way to the elevator together.“Did you see the news yesterday? Mr Leonard was cheating on his wife. I didn't even know that he had a wife. I was really in shock yesterday. It was as if I was just watching a drama.” Victoria said all of a sudden and I looked at her.“Of course I knew about it. I was present there to support my wife.” I told her and she opened her mouth in shock.“Oh.. that’s right. I forgot about that.” she said to me. The elevator doors opened and we went to my office.She brought me the files to sign for today and my eyes widened. They were a lot. She chuckled when she saw my reacted and just dropped the pen on the table.“You left the files when you said that you want to pick Mrs Tyler up. Why do you look so surprised?” she asked me.“I didn’t expect it to be this much. What is my schedule for today though?” I as

Tyler’s POVI couldn’t believe my eyes as I looked at the divorce papers that were laying on that table. I left the dining table and then decided to pretend not to see it.Madison came down but her eyes looked very swollen. It was as if she was just crying all day and I found myself asking her with a worried look on my face. I had forgotten that this girl only used me to achieve what she wanted, which was her father’s company.Now that Leonard is in a crisis everything could be hers anytime and I won’t be of use to her anymore. That’s why she decided to file for a divorce.“It’s nothing. I was just watching a very emotional Korean movie” she told me and I could immediately tell that she was lying but I just smiled and hugged her. How long was she going to lie to me?“What movie is that? You should cry because if a movie. If you want to then remember that non of it is real. They are all fictional.” I told her and she nodded with a sniff.“So did you meet with Rose this morning?” I aske

Brenda’s Pov“What would you like miss?” A waitress who had a filthy apron on asked me. I sized her up with my eyes and she shifted uncomfortably.“Are you a waitress here?” I pursed my lips and asked with evident disgust written all over my face.“Yes miss,” The waitress said subtly.“And you will serve me with such filth?” I stifled a laugh.“Sorry miss I was serving table 9 and I smeared coffee all over my apron” She spoke softly and swiftly.“Excuses, Excuses, Is this how you treat the guest here?”“No miss”“Leave my presence and call someone more competent”“Ye….yes miss” She left shaken.I was scrolling through social media and I came across another news about Tyler’s break up and I couldn’t help but smile widely at this.I haven't seen Tyler with anyone ever since that girl Madison and him parted ways, unconsciously my lip pulled upwards into a grin as I thought of the possibility of being with Tyler again.I mean he once loved me, there’s a very high possibility of him taking

Brenda’s POV“Ma’am it is me, Brenda, remember?” I tried to remind her maybe she would stop being rude to me.“I have eyes, girl” I pretended as if I didn’t hear what she said and I spoke my mind.“Ma’am I would love to come back into your son’s life, I love him very much and this time I will make him very happy-”“Oh shut up, not one word from your mouth, you pathetic liar” Mrs Vivian warned.“But-”“Hush it, zip your mouth, Now listen carefully for your good, I don’t want to see you anywhere near my house or my son, stay away from him, Is that clear?” A knot formed in my stomach, I was completely embarrassed and shocked.I thought if I tried to reason with her she would understand and help me, I thought she would be supportive, Oh I was completely wrong.“I promise this time will be different, I want to spend the rest of my life with him” I knew I had to be dramatic so I faked a sob story just in case something like this happened.“Tyler was manipulative, He made sure everyone thoug

Madison’s POV“So what happened?” Rose questioned me as I got back home.“It was Brenda” Rose’s eyes widened at the mention of her name.“What did she want?” Rose pressed for more answers“Don’t worry about it, it was not bad”***A few weeks later“Are you sure you want to leave?” Rose asked for the hundredth time with tears forming in her eyes.“You know it’s for the best, I have to leave all these behind me” I answered her swiftly, I knew she would miss me, I tried convincing myself more than I convinced her, I didn’t want to leave yet but I knew it was a good decision.“But you’re also leaving me behind” A sigh escaped her lips and I put down my bags and gave her a long hug.“This will do for now” We both let out a hearty laugh.“I know you need a fresh start but I will miss you, so much”“I understand because I will miss you even more” Starting afresh in a new city can be scary, but I need to breathe a different air”We both talked about our memories together before I got on a fli

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
