Madison’s POV. I was talking and discussing with Rose, who had lost track of time. By the time I realized it, it was already dark; I didn’t know it was past 7 p.m. “Oh my God, Rose. You didn’t even tell me anything; already, Tyler will be so worried. Where is my phone?“Well, your phone is in the living room.“Can you help me get it? I need to call Tyler back.”“See the way you are so worried; I think you like this guy a lot, Maddy. You blush at the mention of his name.”“That is not true; quit saying rubbish. “Look at your face; you are blushing already.“No, I’m not.”“Yes, you are. Look at your face; your cheek is red.”“You better stop saying nonsense; get me my phone.Rose went to the sitting room to get my phone and I caught myself smiling. I didn’t know what I felt for Tyler but I knew this baby was going to make us really close.Rose brought my phone and when I touched my power button and opened my phone, I saw that Tyler had called over twenty times and dropped three messa
Madison's POV Tyler looked at me, mouth parted in shock. “What?” He breathed, eyes flickering to my stomach then found my eyes again. I choked back a sob, feeling my lips tremble at the mere thought of it. I tore my eyes away from Tyler’s concerned ones, letting them fix on the picture frame behind him. His warm hands cupped my cheeks, using his thumb to wipe the tear that escaped my eyes. “Don’t cry. What do you mean? What exactly did she tell you? Tell me everything,” His voice was a lot softer and calmer, a huge contrast to his tone from earlier. His eyes seemed to search my face, eyebrows knitted in sheer worry and genuine concern. I looked at him again and clasped my fingers around his larger ones, drawing them away from my face. “Brenda was there,” I told him. I sucked in a harsh breath, then continued, “Your ex-girlfriend has your mother’s support and they’re both dead set on bringing me and my baby─” I placed a protective hand on my stomach, “─down. Dead or Alive. How am
Madison's POV Minutes later, I heard Tyler talking with his mother. When he dropped the call, I saw the anger in his eyes. He folded his arm like he was about to punch someone; he was so upset. He picked up his car keys and made his way towards the door. I walked up to him. “Where are you doing, Tyler?" I said in confusion. “I’m going over to my parent’s place; I need to put my mom in her place; she had no right to speak to you like that. How inhuman can she be? How dare she ask you to abort our baby? What has come over her? “Tyler, I thought we already went through this yesterday. You do not have to confront her; it will only make matters worse. She told me not to tell you; I don’t want you to get into an argument with your family over this issue.” “I’m going there now and you cannot stop me.” Tyler walked out of the door. I wasn’t going to let him do anything crazy so I followed him and entered the car before he could say another word to me. “You know you do not have to come
Madison’s POVWe got home and Tyler went straight into the room. Mrs. Sophie turned to me immediately Tyler left, with a worried look.I smiled nervously at her, hoping it’d convince her that everything was perfectly fine.“Should I bring you some salad?” She offered it to me and I shook my head lightly.“I need an actual meal,” I told her, rubbing my stomach then I grinned, “Eating for two, remember?”Her laugh was melodious, the soft sound filling the air before she turned back to the stove.“I’ll prepare something nice and filling for you and your baby, don’t worry. You can go ahead and watch Television,” She waved me off, gesturing towards the living room.I piped a grin and skipped childishly out of the kitchen. I plopped on the couch in the sitting room, grabbing the remote from the coffee table.I felt the chair vibrate when I was about to turn the TV on and looked at my home in confusion.“Rose? What could be wrong?” I muttered to myself and picked up the phone, swiping to ans
Madison's POV"There is absolutely no possible way," I sputtered, letting my eyes run through the words again and again."I thought so too. That's from the College Registrar's desk though. It's legit. It has their house style, and Devon Greenwood's official stamp. Legit through and through," Rose leaned on the desk, pointing at the letter. She wasn't wrong. Devon Greenwood was really the college Registrar."You need to contact the school as soon as possible," I looked up at her as I put the papers back in the envelope, "There must be a mix-up, a mistake or something from their end.""I'll send out an email today," Rose nodded, placing a comforting hand on my shoulder. I smiled up at her, giving her a reassuring smile. Rose always worked with so much tenacity, sometimes I feared I didn't give her enough credit.I ran my hands through my hair and let out a frustrating sigh. My mind was racing, this situation made absolutely no sense. To keep a position at the company, you had to have al
Madison’s POVI brought the phone from my ear and looked at the caller ID again, baffled by the audacity of this man.“What’s this about, Tyler?” I simply asked, not wanting to sound rude. I dug the fork into my pasta again, about to take the next bite of food.“You left the house without telling your destination? Really, Maddison?”I rolled my eyes, “I’m not a child. I am a grown adult. I have every right to move on my own accord.”“When you’re in such a condition? I don’t think so, Maddy,” He retorted. Tyler has never been one to take orders from anyone or have his orders refuted. I hated it.“What’s that supposed to mean?” I clicked my tongue against my cheek. Everyone seemed to love reminding me about my problems and quite frankly, it was getting annoying to me.“You’re carrying a child, Maddison,” He pointed out, then emphasised, “Our child. You can’t keep going around like you’re a free spirit all the time.”“Fine. I was at the company, happy? It was urgent business so get off m
Madison's POV“Andy,” My lips trembled slightly as my eyes prickled with tears threatening to form. I let my figure lean on his and wrap my arms around his waist, crying softly into his chest.Andy used his free arm to rub against my shoulder, making shushing noises with his lips.“It’ll be okay, Maddy. It’s all just a phase in your life,” He consoled, now playing with my hair.I tried to listen to Andy but it wasn’t helping. I felt more and more stuck with the thing to do next.“What do I do now?” I separated from his embrace, sniffling a little. I sat up on the couch still facing him, nose already beginning to red and clog up.“You meet the bank, Maybe in two days.” He suggested.“I'll go tomorrow,” I shook my head. It’s better done as soon as possible.“No. You need to rest, you’re pregnant remember? You've had enough walking around for a week.” Andy declined, patting my stomach gently.2 Days later“I’m meeting the bank manager today, Rose. Did you send the email regarding the pos
Madison’s POV“What happened to Brenda?” He swallowed, eyes shut again.“I met her today.” I started, he didn’t react.“At the Bank,” No reaction.“Like she knew I’d be there,”“What are you getting at, Maddy?” he sighed, letting his eyes flutter open. His hazel eyes found mine, waiting for an answer.“Maybe I just want to know why my business was in her mouth. She kept going on about the loan repayment thing, Tyler.”“Are you insinuating that I told her?” Tyler scoffed, sitting straight on the chair.“She didn’t hear it from me, did she?” I retorted, attitude evident in my toneHe laughed, “So little faith in our relationship, huh?“I rely on facts, not faith. I need an answer, Tyler. ““I didn’t tell her anything.” I didn’t miss the annoyance in his tone, although it was calm..“But why have you guys been in contact?”No response.“Tyler!”“You can leave now. I need to rest. “ He got up from the chair, heading upstairs. He didn’t even look back onceI scoffed at his nonchalant behav
