Thorns of the Heart Chapter 65
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

Madison’s POV.I could hear a beeping sound in my head as he said his words gradually: “Seeing all of you present here for our family dinner gives me joy; some of us here are not related by blood, but business has made us family. I most certainly say it’s a wonderful thing, and I pray we continue to work together for the best.” Everyone clapped their hands loudly.“And above all, I have wonderful news to tell everyone of us seated here.” I played drum rolls right in my head as his mom had a smile on her cheek.She thought he was about to bring out the ring from his pocket because he had dropped his wine glass on the table and stuck his hand in his pocket when he said that. His mom must have thought he was going to embarrass me by calling Brenda up and telling me to go and sit down. Such a level of inhumanity.He continued by saying, “I think I am the happiest man on earth right now. I know most are asking why. Why is Tyler so happy? I will tell you; I think you all deserve to hear it.

Madison’s POV.She began to cry. I had to lean her head on my shoulder and gently pat her on the back with comforting words.“Ma’am I understand how you feel right now. Every woman on earth deserves to hear the cry of a baby and to carry them in their arms. I believe that you will have yours someday and you will remember all that I said to you on this day. I know it really stinks that you can’t have a child and your husband would. I believe you found hope in yourself. I know all of these are hard for you to handle but crying won’t make it any easier for you, ma’am. “ My words gave her comfort as she wiped her tears and left. While I was comforting the woman, I saw how Brenda twisted her eyes and bit her right lips.She was looking at Tyler, but he paid no attention to her; he was busy with the people who were giving him pleasantries.“I wish you safe delivery. Maddy, I saw the worry in her eyes. I had to tell her the story of my mother. I told her about how my mother waited for six y

Madison’s POV.“Okay, I’m going to ask you some questions about your pregnancy,” she said. “Are you having any pain?” I shook my head, even though she couldn’t see me. “No, I’m not having any pain,” I said. “And how’s your morning sickness?" she asked, her voice full of concern. “I haven’t had any morning sickness,” I said, feeling a little relieved. “Okay, that’s good,” she said, sounding relieved as well. “How about your energy level?” she asked, moving on to the next question.“My energy level is pretty normal,” I said, trying to be honest. “I’m not feeling overly tired or anything like that.” “And how about your appetite?” she asked, continuing with the questions. “My appetite is normal too,” I said, feeling a bit like I was being interrogated. “Well, based on the information you’ve given me, I don’t think there’s any reason to worry about the baby’s kicking,” she said, her voice reassuring. “But if anything changes or you start having any pain, please call us right away.“Thank

Madison's POV The trip lasted longer than I l expected and it was almost as if we wouldn’t arrive home. The car was calm at this moment, Tyler was focused on the road and I rested on my back and enjoyed the breeze. Indeed, motherhood brings joy. Tyler turned on the radio and the song was familiar and comforting, and it felt like a perfect way to end the day. The sun was setting, casting a warm glow on the horizon. As we sang along, I felt my mind uplifted; I was having a feeling of contentment. “This is perfect,” I said, my voice full of happiness. “It really is,” Tyler said, his eyes never leaving the road. “I’m so glad we’re doing this together.” “Me too,” I said, leaning my head against the window. And in that moment, I knew that no matter what happened, we would be okay. We finally got home and I got out of the car. I stretched my leg for a little over one minute because it felt stiff. As I stretched, I felt a sense of relief. I had been sitting for so long that my muscles w

Madison's POV I had found the perfect partner to go on this journey with, and I knew that no matter what happened, we would face it together. “Do you want to try to eat something?” he asked, gently rubbing my back. “I think I can manage some toast,” I said, my stomach starting to settle. He went to the kitchen and made some toast, bringing it back to me on a small plate. I nibbled on it slowly, savoring the simple, comforting taste. “Thank you,” I said, feeling better already. “Of course,” he said, sitting down next to me. “Anything for you and my unborn child,” he said, feeling overwhelmed by my gratitude for this man who was by my side through thick and thin. Tyler leaned in to kiss me softly. “We’re in this together. You’re going to make an amazing mother,” he said, his eyes full of adoration. “I’m going to do my best,” I said, feeling the weight of responsibility on my shoulders. But I also felt a sense of excitement, knowing that this was the start of a new chapter in our live

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.

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.

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
