Thorns of the Heart Chapter 179
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

Madison's POV We explored the apartment. It was a bit overpriced but there was no turning back now, I would have to work with what I had, but I was still curious though.“Is this place close to any Café?” I wondered.“Oh yes it is, you’re in luck because Cassie’s café is just a walkable distance from here”“Please show me” I politely asked.“Do you mind walking there?“No, I don’t”“Are you sure?” I nodded in agreement.It was truly close to my apartment, less than a five-minute walk. I was glad.“Well, here it is” He gestured to the Café in front of us.“Alright, thank you for your help.”“You’re gorgeous, no doubt, I would do anything for a pretty girl like you” he smiled weirdly and looked at my chest.“Oh, that’s kind of you.” I chuckled awkwardly“You know I can put in a good word for you and lower the rent.”“There will be no need, Thanks” I hurried back to the apartment and put all my luggage in the empty room. I started unpacking bit by bit till I was exhausted.I got a bed a

TYLER POVI sat down in the dark for a few minutes before I heard a knock on my door.“Sir it’s time to leave” My driver informed me and I signaled him to leave.It had been six months since I saw Madison. Time doesn't heal because, with every passing day, I felt the sting of her absence. This trip was supposed to be a distraction but I will be lying to myself if I say that it will work.I saw Rose the other day and I wanted to confront her, I wanted to demand the whereabouts of my Madison, But what if Rose doesn't know?It was driving me insane, I couldn't wrap my head around it.

Tyler’s POVLevi drove past a cafe and it was eye-catching, Let me see what they'll have to offer, it's just that if I step into the cafe it might cause a commotion.“Levi stop at this cafe and get me something to eat” I instructed.“Like what sir?”“I don't know Levi, get me something tasty” I instructed.“Okay sir” he got out of the car and dashed off to the Cafe.I saw a woman with red hair standing outside with a stranger and I felt a strange shiver down my spine I didn't want to embarrass myself again by going to meet this woman. But I heard a very familiar laughter, It can't be…I got out of the car and marched to where the lady stood. When I tapped her shoulder and she turned, tears nearly dropped from my eyes. I couldn't believe this, Madison was staring back at me. Was I just imagining her?“Madison?” Her eyes widened with shock and the realization that I was standing in front of her.“Ty…Tyler, What are you doing here?” I didn't know what to say, I wanted to hug her, kiss he

Tyler’s POVI called the paramedics in tears while holding her in my arms and making sure that she doesn’t fall asleep.“I feel sleepy.” She whispered to me then smiled sadly. “You better don’t sleep. Don’t do it Maddy.” I told her and cried.The tears kept pouring down from my eyes like a river and she brought up her bloody hands and placed them on my face with a smile on her lips.“Why are you crying so much you cry baby? You should be the strong one here right now. Don’t do this.” She told me then coughed out blood to my greatest surprise.“Don’t talk. Don’t talk again Maddy. You are losing a lot of blood and that’s not good at all.” I told her with fear in my eyes. I kept having different thoughts and imaginations in my head.“It’s all my fault. I know that and I am really sorry. I shouldn’t have come here and made such a ruckus, Maddy.” I cried out and held her close to my body.People already gathered around us and some people were taking videos while others just stood from a du

Tyler’s POVWe reached the emergency room and they rolled her inside. I was about to run I side with her but then the nurse stopped me.“You can't run in. Stop it. We will be out and inform you about that progress but you can't go in sit. Please understand.” she said to me strictly and I nodded and watched them roll her inside the room.I held my face in my hand and just cried there. None of this would have happened if I didn't just stay where I was. At least I could have not brought up argument with her.That was all my fault and I couldn't even sent it at all. What was I even going to tell her family? Did they even know about the contract marriage yet?It was all so much for me to process so I decided to inform my pilot to get my private jet ready. I was going to fly all of them down here.“Okay Sir. Got it. When will the flight be needed?” he asked me.“As soon as possible. I need to pick my mother in law and my in-laws.” I informed him and agreed to do what I asked him.I waited f

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
