2024-10-29 19:42:56Tyrone stood at the altar, his face beaming with smiles expecting his bride to walk up to him with her father any moment from now. He took a deep breath for the umpteenth time that day and adjusted his stance as he continued to wait.
He couldn't believe that the day when he'd finally get married to the love of his life had finally come. The woman who he had secretly sacrificed all his life earnings for just so she could get the leading role she had dreamed of having in the movie industry.
He adjusted his blue pocket filler and kept his eyes on the door up ahead, the smile still evident on his face. This day was the second happiest moment of his life, the first had been when he proposed to Judy and she immediately agreed to marry him.
"The hell, it's almost an hour now, and the bride hasn't shown up yet, are you sure she's going to come." A guest I'm the crowd said, loud enough for Tyrone to hear her.
A frown settled on Tyrone's face as soon as he heard that but he tried as much as possible to conceal his feelings. Judy wouldn't just do that to him, he loved her so much and he knew that she loved him as much as he did.
"Yep, she's definitely not coming." The lady's voice came again, causing Tyrone to spin around.
"Excuse me." He started, pointing a finger at the woman, not minding the attention he was drawing to himself. "If you don't stop making comments like that, I might have to throw you out." He said and adjusted his tux.
"Take it easy, Ty. I think you should call Judy and ask her what causing the hold up." Fred, Tyrone's best friend and best man walked up to him and said.
"Cool... Yeah, I think I should do that right now." Tyrone said, already losing his cool, what the lady had said had gotten to him. He had to find out what was keeping Judy back.
"Are you with my phone?" Tyrone asked after he had searched his pockets and he couldn't find his phone.
"Uhm, yeah... I think I should have it somewhe..." Fred's voice trailed off as he concentrated on checking his own pockets for Tyrone's phone.
"Here it is," Fred said, pulling out the phone from his back pocket and handing it to Tyrone. Tyrone snatched it from his grasp and quickly dialed Judy's line. He gave Fred a questioning look as the line that was just going through a moment ago was marked as unavailable.
"The hell!" Tyrone cursed silently under his breath and dialed the number again.
"How cruel can she be, she stood the poor guy up I'm their own wedding!" Another remark came from the crowd, and other murmurings began to follow until the whole place became noisy.
"Calm down everyone," Fred turned to the crowd to say, spreading his arms open. "There's no need for the uproar. Judy's going to be here anytime soon, maybe she's being delayed by something."
"Of course, she's being delayed alright." A young man who looked like he was in his early twenties said, his eyes glued to the screen of his phone.
"What.. what do you mean by that?" Tyrone asked, after putting a call through to Judy for the fifteenth time.
"Ain't this your wife at the movie opening premiere that's going on right now?" The man asked with a tinge of sarcasm in his tone, revealing his screen to Tyrone.
Tyrone squinted his eyes and walked up to the young man. Loud gasps and mocking laughter coursed through the atmosphere as Tyrone took the phone from the man and confirmed that it was Judy.
"Judy?!" Tyrone called out softly with a mixture of disbelief and disappointment in his tone. The movie premiere was being streamed live, with Judy in the spotlight with her movie director's hand firmly around her waist.
Tyrone watched in horror as his fiancee locked lips with her director and blew a kiss at the camera.
"I'll take that. Thank you." The young man said and took his phone from Tyrone's trembling grasp.
Tyrone clutched his chest tightly and sank into the empty chair beside the young man. The man stared at Tyrone with pity in his eyes and darted his eyes back to his screen, watching the premier as it unfolded.
Tyrone had been tossed into another realm, his heart was pounding vigorously against his chest and sweat had broken out on his forehead. He looked down at the ground and it felt as if the floor was spinning under his feet.
"She isn't coming, is she?" Fred asked, putting his hand on Tyrone's shoulders. Tyrone shook his head in the negative and wiped the tears from his eyes, he was a man and he couldn't let anyone see him in his most vulnerable moment. He sniffed and got up to his feet.
"Shit, Ty.." Fred replied. "I warned you about that gold digger, but you didn't listen to me, you were so blinded by love that you didn't see that she was clearly using you for your money."
"All your years of hard work just down the drain like that," Fred added.
Tyrone kept mute as Fred continued to speak and all of a sudden, Tyrone began to make his way back to the altar.
"Where are you going to?" Fred asked as he trailed behind him.
Tyrone didn't respond to him until he got to the altar.
"Hey everyone!" He said at the top of his lungs and the whole place suddenly went quiet save for a subtle "What now?!" That came from the crowd.
"The wedding has been called off, but it's going to be held another day, in that case, you are all free to eat and drink to your fill," Tyrone announced and got down from the altar and made his way out.
"That guy must be really dumb, well at least I get to eat the food earlier than expected." The same lady from earlier said.

"Are you crazy, Tyrone?" Fred bellowed, running after Tyrone to stop him in his tracks. Fred barely called Tyrone by his full name unless he was about to do something and he needed to calm him to order, and right now, Tyrone was about to do something completely outrageous by crashing the movie premiere. "Tyrone... Ty. Tyrone, can you just stop and listen to me for a moment?" Fred yelled as he continued to run after Tyrone. "Going to that premier is a bad idea, Ty, why don't you take a moment and think about it," Fred said again but Tyrone wasn't listening, instead, he kept running as fast as his legs could carry him. "...at least take a taxi, instead of running and save your strength," Fred suggested and stopped running, Tyrone had already ran out of his reach. Fred cupped his hand around his mouth and screamed at the top of his lungs. "Tyrone!!" "Aw, screw it!" Fred cursed under his breath and threw his hand down in resignation and headed back to the church to quench his parched

Tyrone didn't try to put up a fight even when the security guard constantly slapped him across his face. "You sick bastard, do you know I could have been fired for that crazy stunt you pulled out there?" The guard said and slapped him again before he finally dragged Tyrone back to the entrance and threw him out of the place. "If you still love your life, I don't want to see you around here... Now get!" The guard said and pushed Tyrone till he fell to the floor. Tyrone picked himself up from the floor and slowly made his way back. He turned back to look at the place and caught the eyes of the security still staring intently at him. "I said get!" The guard shouted from the distance, causing Tyrone to continue moving until he disappeared from the guard's sight. The sun was still up in the sky and it was grazing Tyrone's skin so badly that his face had turned red totally. He instinctively navigated his way to a bar. He pushed through the door and made his way inside. Some people tur

Tyrone rubbed his eyes incessantly, he couldn't believe what his eyes had just seen. "Judy? What the hell?" He questioned in disbelief, his face flushing red with anger. The director got down from Judy and covered himself with the sheets leaving only Judy naked in the bed. "What the hell, Tyrone, don't you remember how to knock, this is still my house remember?" Judy yelled at him, getting up from the bed and using another sheet to cover up her nakedness. She tied the sheet firmly around her chest before she looked up to Tyrone and stared at him with spite in her eyes. Tyrone was boiling with anger that his whole body was starting to tremble. Without waiting to exchange words with Judy, Tyrone rushed in the direction and tried strangling him, his suit loosening from his waist and falling to the ground. "Andy!!" Judy screamed, seeing what Tyrone was about to do. "Don't you dare try to kill him, Tyrone," Judy screamed and jumped on top of Tyrone, trying to pull him away from Andy.

"Hello!" Tyrone said, struggling to get from the floor, he was about to sit down on the bed when he caught small drops of sperm on the bed, in fact, Tyrone just realized for the first time that the whole place smelt like sex. He managed to walk out of the room and walked down to the sitting room. "Hello?" Tyrone called out again when no response was forthcoming. "Good evening, am I onto Mr. Tyrone Jefferson?" Came a male voice. Tyrone raised an eyebrow wondering who Tyrone Jefferson was, obviously, the person at the other end of the phone had mistaken him. "Yes I am Tyrone but not..." "Oh thank goodness, sir, your grandfather has been searching the whole country for you." "My grandfather? My grandfather died a long time ago. Tyrone managed to reply with the blood still in his mouth. "I appreciate the sarcasm sir but your grandfather is still in the hospital but not dead yet and he wants to see you." "Uhm, I think you've got the wrong person, my name is Tyrone Rodriguez and not

"What happened to him?" The man asked the nurses as he advanced toward Tyrone. Tyrone was weak but he recognised the man's voice from earlier on the phone. "I told you, I'm not Tyrone Jeffer... Ugh!" Tyrone had run out of energy as his head fell onto the floor and he slipped into unconsciousness. "Quick, please help us carry him into the emergency ward." One of the nurses said, the man stepped forward and held Tyrone back from falling to the ground. Fred came up from behind them and carried Tyrone onto his shoulders. "Stay with us, Ty," Fred begged. "Where do I take him to?" Fred asked the nurses. "Follow me." The same nurse said and led him to the emergency ward. ******************************Tyrone's eyes fluttered open, he tried getting up but a sharp pain in his stomach kept him back from getting up. He gently let his eyes sweep over the room where he was. "Where am I?" Tyrone mouthed. This place didn't look anything like a hospital or was it because this was the first ti

Tyrone sat there in silence as he continued to stare in disbelief at the woman he had referred to as mother all his life. "You can't be serious." Was the only thing that came out of Tyrone's mouth. "Of course, she is, for twenty three years, your parents continued to search for you, even when they went on to have other children a year after you were kidnapped, they still continued searching for you," Jason told him. Tyrone listened in silence, allowing the new revelation to sink in. "You mentioned something about them being late, what happened to them, how did they die?" Tyrone asked flatly. Jason did the sign of the cross before he went on to answer, "May their souls rest in perfect peace. They were good people until their death." Jason paused for a moment as if to reflect on something before he added, "Your mother died of heart disease and your father couldn't take the news of her death.""He knew that he was going to join her soon and willed all of his properties to your grand

Jason pushed through the door and motioned to Tyrone to make his way inside. Tyrone peeked inside before he made his way in. The room looked nothing like a bedroom, it looked more like a conference room to Tyrone. Jason walked past him and into the room. "Tyrone, after all these years.. " the old man said, stretching his hand out to Tyrone. "Grandfather?" Tyrone didn't know when the word escaped his lips. "Don't you think it's too soon to be referring to him as that?" A man said. Tyrone hadn't taken notice of the people in the room so he looked around and realized that there were two other people in the room. The man who had said that walked up to Tyrone. Tyrone's eyes bulged seeing a man that looked exactly like him walking up to him. Tyrone could perceive the heavy whiff of the expensive cologne the man wore. "You think you can just barge in here and call anyone names as you please huh?" The man said rudely, obviously annoyed by Tyrone's presence. "And I suppose you might be

"Didn't you hear me, you dumb fool? I know you've signed the documents already." Rollins said and started approaching him. "So why not give the companies to someone else who will be in a better position to handle them than you," Rollins said in a mocking tone. "I won't sell those companies to you, Rollins and besides, they're not worth ten million dollars." Tyrone intoned. "I see that you're not as dumb as I thought," Rollins said with a slick smile on his face. "You have twenty four hours to make up your mind," Rollins said and walked out of the conference room. "Please get seated, sir." The man who had shaken his hand said. "My name is Malcolm and I'm the one who manages the company." "Woah, you manage all five companies at once." Tyrone voiced out his surprise. "Yes, I do." He said and sat back down. He handed a small package to Tyrone. "What's this?" Tyrone asked before opening the package.

A Time Before
Tyrone had just settled down on the couch, feet propped up on the coffee table, his fingers apathetically flicking through the tv channels. He had arranged to spend his end of the week unwinding, free from any dramatization. His life had been serene ever since he and Vanessa broke up months back. In spite of the fact that their relationship had been a tornado of enthusiasm, it was moreover full with superfluous contentions, control, and manipulations. He was happy it was over. He was happier now, centering on himself, and now not weighed down by her passionate rollercoaster. The doorbell rang, pulling Tyrone out of his thoughts. He looked at his wristwatch, scowling. He wasn’t expecting anybody. He hurled the inaccessible onto the sofa and headed toward the front door. Opening it, he was met with the sight of none other than Vanessa standing on his balcony, her arms crossed over her chest, her regular grin settled on her lips. Tyrone flickered in shock. “Vanessa?

Evil Plot
Vanessa observed the sun plunge underneath the skyline through her loft window. Its searing orange beams cast long shadows over her living room, coordinating the turmoil roiling in her mind. Tyrone had been hers—once. They had went through a long time together, building dreams and making plans for the longer term. But all of that changed when Judy entered the picture. Vanessa clenched her clench hands, her knuckles white against the scenery of her profound brown skin. Judy had stolen Tyrone. No—she had enticed him, attracted him away, demolished everything. It wasn’t reasonable. Vanessa paced back and forward in her little, faintly lit flat, her bare feet making delicate crashes against the wooden floor. The sharpness chewed at her. Months had passed since Tyrone and Judy had gotten hitched, and Vanessa’s life had spiralled ever since. Each time she saw them together, grinning, living the life she ought to have had, a new piece of her, smashed. She seems to feel herself falling more

Light in the Dark
Judy faltered for a minute before she thumped on Tyrone’s front door. Her heart was beating, her palms were clammy, and she may still feel the sting of their final contention new in her mind. The battle they had before she raged out was unstable, filled with yelling, allegations, and a torrent of feelings, not one or the other of them had completely caught on at the time. Tyrone had blamed her for not trusting him, and Judy had let go back, irate and harmed, that he was still hung up on his ex, Vanessa. She knew she shouldn’t be back here so before long, but she couldn’t shake the feeling that they had left things uncertain. After what felt like an forever, the door swung open, and there stood Tyrone, his expression incoherent. His dim eyes bolted onto hers, and for a moment, not one or the other of them talked. The pressure between them was thick, as in spite of the fact that the contention was still hanging within the air , overwhelming and unwavering. “Judy?” Tyrone’s voice brok

Actions Not Words
Judy had been pacing her flat for hours, the cadenced tap of her heels against the wooden floor as it were sound breaking the hush. She looked at her phone for the tenth time in as many minutes, her thumb drifting over Tyrone's title. It was continuously the same with him—pulling her in, pushing her away, as if to drag her back once more. But this time, Judy decided things would be different . She wasn’t going to let him just walk back into her life without a few kinds of confirmation. She knew precisely what she needed, and she knew she had use. Over town, Tyrone sat at his table, gazing at the city horizon through the wide windows of his office. His domain sprawled out underneath him, a kingdom built on canny deals and heartless aspiration. However, none of it appeared to matter when his thoughts floated to Judy. Their relationship was like a storm, all-consuming and outlandish to foresee. He had made his botches, more than he cared to tally, but he was prepared to make things righ

Tyrone stood outside the door, his hands trembling as he clenched and unclenched his clench hands. The late evening sun showered the neighbourhood in a brilliant tone, but Tyrone felt nothing but the weight of his inconveniences. He might feel the sweat on his chin, each ball of sweat reminding him of the storm brewing in his life. He took a deep breath, his heart beating in his chest, and thumped on the door. Some seconds passed before he listened to the rearranging of feet from the other side. His beat enlivened. Would she indeed open the door? The door squeaked open, and there she stood—Judy, his spouse, the love of his life. She looked at him with a blend of shock and guardedness, her eyes checking his face as if looking for answers he didn’t have. She was wearing a formal blue dress that he had continuously cherished, but presently it felt like a boundary between them, an update of the life they had shared and the one they had misplaced. “What do you need, Tyrone?” Judy inquir

Error In Judgement
Vanessa had continuously been the kind of lady who got what she needed. She had the charm, the looks, and the mind to drag anybody into her circle. When she and Tyrone were together, they were the envy of everybody they knew. They were the “it” couple—the idealised coordinate, everybody said. But that was a long time back, before Tyrone met Alexis, before everything changed. Vanessa stood at the entrance of the swarmed bar, filtering the ocean of faces until she spotted him. Tyrone sat at a little table by the window, nursing a drink and gazing vacantly out into the night. He looked good—maybe more than he had the last time she saw him, she thought. His shoulders were broader, his fashion more refined, but his eyes still held that recognizable thoughtfulness. Vanessa took a deep breath and walked over, her heels clicking against the wooden floor. “Tyrone,” she said, her voice light, nearly perky, as she pulled the chair over from him and sat down without holding up for a welcome.

Acceptance
The sun had scarcely risen, but Judy was as of now situated at her extravagant living room couch, coffee in hand, as she looked over thoughtlessly through her phone. Her mornings ordinarily started with a calming routine—coffee, a scroll through social media, and a brief look at the features. But nowadays it is different. As she scrolled through the most recent prattle, her heart halted. A strong feature flashed over her screen: *"Vanessa Reported Pregnant With Tyrone's Child!" Judy’s grasp fixed on her phone, her breath stuck in her throat. Vanessa, Tyrone’s ex-girlfriend, was pregnant. And not just pregnant—pregnant with Tyrone’s child. Judy squinted, hoping the headline to stop, but the words remained the same, dazzling back at her with the cruelty of truth. Her vision obscured as her mind dashed back to all the discussions she’d had with Tyrone about belief, about trustworthiness, and around their future together. He’d told her about Vanessa, about the muddled breakup, and about

Envisioned Future
Tyrone sat at the edge of his bed, the morning sun casting long shadows on the floor. He hadn’t rested a wink. His mind was a tangled mess of questions, questions, and outrage. He knew one thing for sure: he was planning to get to the foot of the mess that had ended up in his life. The last few weeks had been a hurricane of disclosures and heartbreaks, and Tyrone felt like he was suffocating within the chaos. Vanessa’s pregnancy declaration had hit him like a cargo prepare. They had dated a long time before, but Tyrone was certain their relationship had finished for good. He had moved on, hitched Judy, and begun a life he thought would be filled with adore and solidness. But Vanessa’s sudden return, tummy swollen with child, had tossed everything into confusion. Tyrone ran a hand over his tired face and let out a profound moan. His phone buzzed on the nightstand, breaking the hush. He glanced at the screen—another missed call from Judy. He couldn’t bring himself to reply. Judy had

Troubled Mistake
Tyrone hadn't seen or listened from Vanessa in about a long time. Their relationship had finished in blazes, the kind of breakup that clears out no room for compromise or inviting farewells. So when he spotted her name blazing on his phone one evening, his heart skipped a beat. Recollections of their unstable relationship came flooding back, and he wavered before replying. "Hi?" Tyrone’s voice was cautious, as as if bracing for the most obvious. There was a delay on the other end, and for a minute, he thought she might have hung up. At that point, Vanessa's voice came through, sounding uniquely repressed. "Tyrone, it's me." He breathed out strongly, feeling a blend of alleviation and unease. "Vanessa. Typically ... scared." "Better believe it, I know," she answered, her voice temperamental. "I wouldn't be calling if it wasn't critical." Tyrone scowled, his mind dashing with conceivable outcomes. Vanessa was not one to reach out for unimportant things, particularly not after the w
