Chapter 21
Tyler’s POV I stood still, unable to move; all the anger I felt was slowly melting away as I locked eyes with Madison. I wonder how this woman had so much power over me; I wasn't too sure what I felt for her and I dreaded figuring it out but all I can say is that our destinies are intertwined; our meeting at the bar was arranged by divinity. Madison lifted her cheek up with a smile; she smiled in such a way that only the right part of her cheek was lifted. I was still standing by the door with my hand on the doorknob when she finally spoke after we'd been making eye contact for the past five seconds. “Won't you let me in? “Forgive my manners; please come in" I said hurriedly. I made way for her to pass. I am not a man that notices everything about women because, frankly speaking, I most times do not care about the changes they make to their lifestyle because I am indifferent, but I couldn't help but notice Madison’s scent. She changed her perfume; she always smells like citrus a

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

Chapter 23
Tyler’s POV. My family was trying to frustrate me; why would they force someone on me? I wasn't interested in Brenda in any way; we are not even compatible. I hate what she loves and she loves what I hate; it was a very terrible combination. I paced around the room in an attempt to calm the anger that suddenly grew inside of me after my mother’s call. I cannot even remember the last time my mother called to actually check up on me; she was always calling to scold me and it was almost as if she didn't care about my existence. My happiness meant nothing to them; all they care about is their money and their legacy. I suddenly stopped pacing when I heard Madison snoring. I walked back to the bed and laid beside her. I couldn't stop staring at the woman laying beside me. I was touching her hair at intervals but she was sleeping deeply. She was snoring lightly but I didn't mind. I thought she would be up already She had been sleeping for a long time but I soon joined her when I shut

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.I was driving really fast, but I was still mindful so I wouldn't get pulled over by the police.Tears were dropping down my face; I couldn't stop or control it. I became more impatient when I got to the hospital’s parking lot. I almost jumped out of my car without parking. I got inside and ran to my mother’s ward but she wasn't there. I ran to the receptionist. My heart was racing faster than my legs.“Excuse me, I'm looking for Mrs...”I was gasping for air; I was trying to catch my breath and talk simultaneously.“Calm down, Ma; try to catch your breath first.”"Yes, I'm sorry. Please, where did they move Mrs. Mary Byers too?“Hold on a few seconds, let me check."That was the longest wait ever; she only took a few seconds but I felt like I waited for hours.The hospital was a really big building, the biggest hospital in the city, so I can understand if she takes a while to look for my mother’s name.“Take the elevator to the 4th floor; she is in the process of surger

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.The surgery was successful but my mother wasn't waking up; she was in a coma. The doctors couldn't explain the cause of it but it made all of us panic even more. I had never been this scared in my entire life, and I was ready to give everything I had to bring her back."Doctor, what is happening? The surgery was successful but this is the third day and she is still not awake yet.’"As I told you before, the chances of her surviving are 50%; she isn't young and strong. All we have to do now is pray for her to survive.”“When do you think she would wake up, doctor?“I cannot specifically say, Madison ,but let’s just hope and pray for the best.I left the doctor’s office disappointed; the doctor didn't give me any positive response to brighten my morning; he was just trying to be positive. I drove home and rested my head on the couch. I was trying to relax my nerves but as usual, I was disturbed by the only pain in my Ass. Gem walked in, yelling at someone on the phone; he

Chapter 28
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

Tyler’s POVI strained to make sense of what I was seeing. Madison was naked in front of me. As I glanced at her round and hard breast, I could feel my dick rising. I battled to keep my cool. It was really difficult for me to suppress my burning need. I relocated to be closer to Madison.She couldn't move because she was so shocked. I could feel her heart thumping in her chest as she stood still. She probably expected me to pick her up and bang on her like the first time we met. I really wanted to do it, but it wasn't the right time. I knelt down and assisted her in picking up her towel, which I then handed to her."Tyler, I told you to stay downstairs. What exactly are you doing here?” She snapped, embarrassed."Is that my reward for assisting you in picking up your towel?""Please leave me alone; I'll be down in a heartbeat.""Quit acting like a child; you act as if I've never seen you naked before; dress up; I'm waiting.”I sat on the couch, my gaze locked on her. I was sweeping my

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
