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. 

But it seemed like Andy had been expecting this kind of reaction from Tyrone because he quickly pushed Tyrone off him without contemplating and stood up from the bed. 

Tyrone got up from the floor, fuming in anger. His eyes darted across the room looking for a heavy object he could use as a weapon to attack Andy with but there was none. 

Judy had fallen to the floor too but she got up immediately and walked up to Tyrone, slapping him hard across the face. 

"How dare you?!" She screamed into his face.

Tyrone held his affected cheek and glared at Judy with surprise. "Judy, you slapped me because of him?" He asked in disbelief, pointing at Andy. 

"And I will do it over and over again," Judy informed him. 

Tyrone fell silent only watching the rise and fall of Judy's chest. 

"You stupid pig, dare to try to strangle me hunh?" Andy bellowed, easing the pains of the injuries inflicted on his neck as a result of Tyrone trying to strangle him to death. 

"I swear, I'm going to make you pay." He added. 

"Do you really think that I was in love with you?" Judy asked Tyrone sarcastically. "You really think that you were the one who bought the lead role for me?"

"You must be the most delusional person to ever exist if you think that. You were only a fool that I was using Tyrone. And you actually believed that I was going to marry you, never!" Judy said with all the disgust she could muster in her tone. 

"It's all over, Tyrone, get over it and move on because I never loved you, I will never love, Andy is the one I love and that's who I'm going to get married to," Judy said and turned around to grab her purse. 

She took the purse from the table where it was and unzipped it. She took out the engagement ring Tyrone had proposed to her with and threw it at his face. 

"You really thought I would ever get married to a broke bastard like yourself." Judy blurted out. 

Tyrone stood, still holding his cheeks as he watched Judy put her clothes on. She walked up to Andy and Inspected his neck. 

"You didn't get hurt, did you?" She asked with genuine concern etched in her tone. 

"Just a little bit," Andy responded. 

"This isn't a little at all!" Judy exclaimed when she saw the marks all over Andy's neck. 

"Come let me get you treated," Judy said. 

"Of course that isn't enough you bloody bastard!" Tyrone said and launched himself at him, delivering a heavy blow across his cheeks that sent him crashing to the floor. 

"Tyrone, you beast!!!! Leave him alone." Judy cried out but Tyrone wasn't paying any attention to her as he leaned in for another blow. Andy was quick enough to roll out of the way and quickly recovered from the blow and stood up. 

"You fool, you dare to lay hands on me again," Andy yelled out furiously before he went after Tyrone and kneed him in the stomach, he didn't give Tyrone any breathing space to recover before he punched him in the jaw, Tyrone fell backward, his mouth bleeding heavily. 

The blood spilled from his jaw and down to his clothes. He tried to get back up and fight but he felt a sharp pain in his stomach that kept him back on the floor. 

Andy launched at him again and gave him another punch in his jaw. 

"Ugh!" Tyrone grunted in pain as more blood gushed out from his mouth. 

"That's enough, Andy!" Judy shouted at him, causing him to halt with his hand in the air. Judy didn't ask Andy to stop because she felt remorseful for him, she thought she deserved every blow that was coming his way for trying to hurt Andy, she only asked Andy to stop hitting him so that he wouldn't kill him in the process. 

"Let's get out of here," Judy said softly to him and handed his clothes to him. 

He yanked it from her grasp and wiped the sweat from his forehead. He hurriedly put his shorts on first before he walked into the bathroom to wash the blood from his fingers. He came back out and put the rest of his clothes on. 

"Let's go," Andy said, grabbing Judy by the hand. He shot Tyrone one last angry look before he walked out of the room with Judy trailing behind him. 

Judy turned back to give him the middle finger before she closed the room's door. 

Tyrone sat there, on the floor, motionless the gin he had taken earlier spilling from the corner of his mouth along with the blood. He had never been this humiliated in his whole life, Judy had taken his love for her and shoved it up his ass. Tyrone fell his energy being drained out of him and as he closed his eyes, he heard his phone ring out loudly. 

He reached for his pocket and surprisingly, his phone was still in one piece. He stared down at the screen, his eyes glued to the unknown number that was ringing his phone. 

He swallowed the blood in his mouth before he went on to answer the call.

"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 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.

    "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.

His hands fell as he walked across the sidewalk like the remnants of his dreams.Tyrone walked for what felt like hours, his polished dress shoes pinching his feet, his tie hanging loose around his neck. He found himself in a denser part of town, neon signs buzzing and flickering in the growing darkness. One establishment caught his eye: "The Broken Heart Saloon." A bitter laugh escaped his lips. How fitting for his present situation, what a coincidence.Pushing open the wooden door, Tyrone was enveloped by the smoky interior.

    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

    The Mirage of Betrayal

    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
