Thorns of the Heart Chapter 58
Madison’s POV.I moved away from Tyler and walked around the hospital. I was walking around the buildings and admiring nature. I took a deep breath, enjoying the fresh air. The sun was warm on my skin, and I could feel the stress of the day starting to melt away.I looked around, taking in the sights of the hospital grounds. There were trees and flowers everywhere, and I felt a sense of peace wash over me. I walked slowly, savoring the feeling of being outside, away from the hospital room, away from Tyler.The sound of birds singing filled the air, and I closed my eyes, listening to the music of nature. I felt like I was in a different world, far away from the troubles of my life. I felt my body relax, and I began to feel grateful for the simple things in life. The sun, the air, and the trees, all of these things were precious, and I was lucky to be able to enjoy them. I felt my spirits lift as I walked, and I knew that I would be okay.No matter what happened next, I would be able to

Madison’s POV.Hot tears rolled down my eyes as I listened to Tyler’s mom insult me over the phone.She sounded so mean and aggressive; she sounded as if she would have torn me apart if she were face-to-face with me.“Stay away from my son; you and your broke family are just looking for what to leverage on. I think I don’t know that he paid for your mother’s surgery. That is all you want him for; you want him to be by your side so he can spend all the money he makes on you.” “That is not true, ma; I didn’t even know he was.” “Shut up!!! I know you cajoled him into signing that marriage contract with you. I will come after your family if you do not let him have a peaceful relationship with Brenda.” The call dropped and I was so angry; my chest was heavy from the insult I received from Tyler’s mother, but I could still hear her voice in my head, ringing in my ears. “You’re nothing but a gold-digger! You’re just using my son for his money!” I felt a surge of anger rising within me, an

Madison’s POVThe elevator was taking a long time to get to Gem’s floor; it felt like the motion was slower than the time me and Tyler got in.Andy and Rose’s actions were both funny and weird, and it made me smile because I knew that something was definitely up with these two.“Are you guys going to tell me what is wrong with you too or do you want me to keep enjoying the awkward silence?”“What do you mean? Nothing is wrong; why do you think something is wrong? “ Rose asked me. “I don’t know; you tell me, Rose.” “Well, you are just assuming that something is wrong.” “So why are you both acting weird?”“Well, nothing is wrong from my end and I know that for sure but I can only speak for myself; I cannot speak for Andy. Maybe you should ask him if something was wrong with him; I think something is up with him.” The elevator opened at this point and Andy got out. It was almost as if his patience was running out; it was as if he couldn’t wait to be out of the same space as us.He wa

Madison’s POV.We all rushed towards Gem; she wasn't fully awake but her eyes were open and she could recognize her environment. Andy, who was having an emotional breakdown, cleaned his eyes and put up a fake smile.At that moment, all the anger I was feeling for Gem went away; it faded away and all I wanted at that point was for her to be okay.“Hey Gem!! How are you? We were worried and scared; we were all on our toes when they brought you in.” “I’m fine, mom. Where am i? Where are Ben and Kelly?”We all looked at ourselves; we didn't know who she was referring to. I had no idea who Ben or Kelly were, but I guess they were friends.“Sweeti, we do not know where Ben and Kelly are at this moment but I believe they are fine.”“ What happened, mummy? Why am I here, Why are you all looking at me like I am invalid?”“Quit saying nonsense, Gem; you were brought here as a result of the bad decision you took; you are lucky to be alive; you would have been far gone in the land of the dead.”

Madison’s POV. I got to Tyler’s house and rang the doorbell. I was ringing the doorbell for a little over one minute. I wondered why no one was responding to me. Why is no one responding to me? Could it be that Tyler is not around? But I doubt that. His car was parked outside, and I saw Mrs. Sophie come to the door to check who it was. She hesitated to open the door because she thought it was Brenda who was at the door. She quickly rushed to open the door when she saw that it was me who was knocking.“I’m sorry, Maddy; I didn’t know it was yours; I thought it was Brenda that was ringing the doorbell. You know, Sir Tyler asked me not to let her in.”“It’s alright, Mrs. Sophie. Is Tyler around?”“Yes, he is; he is in his room upstairs; he got back upset today and he hasn’t been downstairs since he got back; he even skipped dinner.”“That is pretty serious; are you sure he is alright?”“I have no idea; should I make you something for dinner? Are you spending the night here?”“You do no

Madison's POV I stood there, looking at his body. I was trying to control my thoughts; I couldn’t get my eyes off him; his lips were pink and succulent; his body was inviting; and I wished he would come touch me so I could get the memory of our last time together off my mind.My thoughts were spiraling out of control, and I knew I needed to stop them before they went too far. I was at a crossroads—either I could give in to my desires or I could fight them. I took a deep breath, trying to calm myself down.“What are you thinking about?” His voice low. “Nothing.”I lied, feeling my cheeks heat up. He raised an eyebrow, clearly not believing me. He took a step toward me. “You can tell me.”I looked at him, my heart pounding in my chest. I knew what I wanted to say, but I didn’t know if I could bring myself to say it. I opened my mouth, but no words came out.“I’m listening.”His voice was gentle. I took a deep breath, gathering my courage. “I…I…” I stammered, my voice faltering. He

Madison’s POVThe atmosphere was getting quite tense; he brought his lips closer and touched them with mine. I just couldn’t allow myself to do this.“Tyler, I need to go. It’s getting late. I have a board meeting at my dad’s company tomorrow, so the earlier I leave, the better for me. I saw how hard it was for Tyler to let me go.”Driving home was a bit hard for me. I had so much in my heart; my heart felt so heavy with burdens in it that it could make me develop a heart attack. I thought of what might happen at the board meeting tomorrow; having to deal with my uncle is a hard one.When I got to the meeting, I was there for a few seconds, but thank God they were all seated there, and the time was well spent. I just immediately went down to the meeting with the managers.“The rate at which we keep losing our investors is quite alarming. Just two days ago, we lost one of our biggest investors. Our exchange rates have gone down drastically. It seems like we are going down the drain, an

Madison’s POV.After being discharged from the hospital, I needed time to be myself, to think straight, and to gather myself up before going to tell Tyler about the news, not minding if he might be happy or not. But deep down, I felt like he was going to be happy about it, but I couldn’t just conclude or jump into assumptions like that.When I went to see him, I didn’t know how to start telling him about this. I insisted that he sit on the bed. It was still hard for me to say. Tyler obviously knew something was wrong with me.“Madison, what is wrong with you?” he asked.“I… I… I stammered like I was stuttering and kept quiet for a second. He raised his eyebrows one-sidedly, knowing fully well that something was wrong with me and that I didn’t want to let it out.“What is wrong with you, Madison?” Tyler, it is just so hard for me to say… I am pregnant; that is it. I am pregnant. I just found out a few days ago. I thought about getting rid of it, but I felt like it wouldn’t be fair if I

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
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
