Thorns of the Heart Chapter 59
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.”
Thorns of the Heart Chapter 62
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
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
Thorns of the Heart Chapter 67
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.
