All Chapters of Thorns of the Heart: Chapter 71 - Chapter 80

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

Madison's POV I went into the guest room so I could talk to Rose freely without any restrictions. I dialed the number and it rang once before she picked up the all. I began to sobe as she took the call. “Hello?” Rose’s voice was soft and comforting, and I could feel myself starting to relax. “Hi Rose,” I said, taking a deep breath. “It’s Maddy. I need to talk to you.” “Of course,” she said, her voice full of concern. “Is everything okay?” “No,” I said, my voice shaking. “I’ve been diagnosed with a condition called hyperemesis gravidarum.” There was a pause on the other end of the line, and I could hear Rose taking a deep breath. “What !!! Are you okay?” she asked, her voice full of worry. “I’m not sure,” I said, my voice cracking. “I’m scared, Rose. I don’t know what to do.” “It’s okay to be scared,” she said, her voice soothing. “You’re going through something really difficult. But you’re strong, and you’re going to get through this.” I felt myself start to cry, the tears stream

Madison's POV I booked an Uber and it took me to the restaurant. I saw her sitting at the far end with Brenda; I already knew they were up to no good. I approached the table, feeling a knot of anxiety in my stomach. “Hi, Maddy!” Brenda said, giving me a fake smile. “Hi, Brenda,” I said, not returning the smile. I turned to Tyler’s ,mother. “Hello, Ma,” I said, forcing a smile. “Hi, Madison, have a seat” she said, then went straight to the point. “I will pay you 5 million dollars to abort that child." I felt a wave of pain when I heard those words from Tyler’s mother. My stomach twisted. I felt like I had been punched in the gut. I couldn’t believe what I was hearing. “What?” I said, my voice barely above a whisper. “You can’t be serious!” “I’m very serious,” she said, her voice cold and clinical. “I’ll wire the money to your account as soon as you terminate the pregnancy.” I was speechless. I couldn’t believe that she would say something like that, and I couldn’t believe that

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 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
