All Chapters of Thorns of the Heart: Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

Madison’s POV I was so grateful when I got the news that Tyler paid for my mother’s surgery. It was the best news I ever heard, but I wished it came from someone else, but certainly not from Tyler. He is already starting to show his real self. To think he was the sweet and humble man I got attracted to. Now I can start to see he’s proud and boastful; he might talk about it in a way I wouldn't like. “What is wrong with me? Why am I being ungrateful?" I hit my head with my strawberry exfoliating scrub container. It hurt but I was trying to scold myself so I didn't mind. I was in the shower and as the hot water ran through the crown of my head to the sole of my feet, I was calm. I placed my hand on the wall for balance. I was preparing to go see Tyler. After my shower, I brushed my hair and let it down for the first time in a long time. I took out a polyester short-sleeve two-piece outfit from my wardrobe, wore it, and put on a vanilla scent perfume. After I finished preparing, I ente

Madison’s POV “Are you leaving already? I made breakfast for you, Miss Madison." "That is so nice of you, Mrs. Sophie, but I have to hurry home; I need to get to work."“I made breakfast especially for you; please do not turn me down; the table is set already.” She persuaded.“And I hate to waste my food.” Tyler added.I do not know if it is just me alone or if Tyler is like that with everybody. Words on the street say he is too rude and pompous, so I am not surprised.I dropped my bag on the couch and headed to the dining room. I was already on my way out when Mrs. Sophie met me halfway. I sat opposite Tyler. I didn't want to sit close to him so I avoided him.I could not explain the kind of likeness Mrs. Sophie has towards me; she was always treating me nicely whenever I came around and it made me feel loved.She served me roasted potatoes and chorizo hash, accompanied by a blueberry-banana nut smoothie. Tyler was having Gruyere, bacon, and spinach scrambled eggs.“Enjoy your brea

Madison's POV“How dare you raise your hand on my sister? I won't take it lightly with you if you try it here again. Now leave before I call the security on you.” Andy asked angrily.“I will leave, but trust me, I will be back if she does not stay away from my man. I promise you that.” Brenda snapped.Brenda walked away. I was so angry that I started pacing around again.“That bitch! How dare she? How did she even know I was here? I’m sure Tyler’s mom might have given her some information.”“Calm down, Maddy; she is gone.”That was when Mrs. Rosaline and Sophie came back from the bathroom.“Brenda was here.”“Who is Brenda?“Tyler’s betrothed”“What? But Tyler already married Madison, what does she want? “ Gem asked, surprised.I was so upset, I went into the bathroom to calm myself down. That was not the right moment to be angry. I got to the bathroom and I saw how messed up I looked. I almost punched and smashed the mirror but people will think I'm crazy if I do that.I took out my

Madison’s POV.I was uncomfortable. I was standing in front of Tyler with just a towel on my chest. I wouldn't say I wasn't expecting to see him because Tyler was capable of doing anything; I just wasn't expecting him to show up at my doorstep with me on a towel in front of him.I stood in front of the door. I saw the way he ran his eyes through my body; his eyes were undressing me; I saw the way he was looking at me lustfully.“What are you doing here, Tyler? Why did you show up at my house?“Nice to finally see you, Maddy.” He simply said.“Well, the feeling isn't mutual; it isn't nice to see you. Please leave; I need to head back to the bathroom.“Can I join you?” He asked with a naughty grin.“Do not get ahead of yourself, Tyler. Please leave.”Tyler entered the house anyway; he was busy looking around, ignoring my words.“You are not welcome here, Tyler; leave this very minute.” I repeated.“And why should I leave? You have a nice space, by the way.”“This is not your house so yo

Madison’s POVTyler has always been a jerk, and he loves to play silly tricks. What was his mother doing at the same restaurant where we had arrived?"Did you know about this, Tyler, or is it purely coincidental?""My mother and I are having lunch.""Are you insane?" And you didn't think it was appropriate to inform me?”"It knew you wouldn’t come, I thought it wasn't necessary, so I didn't say.""I don't want to scold you here like a child, but I can't help myself because you're acting like one." You didn't think it was necessary to notify me that we were going to have lunch with your mother? Are you sure you're serious?”"It wasn't necessary, so I didn't say."Tyler lightly grasped my hand as I turned to leave, preventing me from advancing any farther."Please wait. I apologize for not informing you, but I knew you wouldn't come if I had. My mother requested to see me. I don't want to confront this alone, which is why I need you to come with me. Please do not go.""Are you out to hu
