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. 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 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.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.

Madison’s POV. We got into Tyler’s car and he drove off. I looked out of the window and I was grateful for the gift of life. The natural breeze was blowing into the car and I closed my eyes as I enjoyed nature’s call.The wind felt so good on my face, and I took a deep breath, savoring the fresh air. I felt so alive and grateful for this moment. I felt like I could conquer anything, like nothing could stop me now.I opened my eyes and looked at Tyler. He was smiling, and I knew that he was feeling the same way. We drove in silence, enjoying the moment and the peace that came with it.I was grateful for this gift God gave me. I didn’t know how I felt when I found out I was pregnant but now I was so excited about the journey I was about to embark on. I knew that this journey would not be easy, but I was ready for it.I knew that there would be challenges ahead, but I was determined to face them head on. I was ready to be a mother, and I knew that with Tyler by my side, I could do anyth
