I’m Dedicated To You

BRADLEY’S POV

Inside one of my underground basements, I looked at Jayden, who was groaning in pain on the floor but I didn’t feel pity for him a little bit. It was his fault for trying to outsmart me. How dare he try to think he could even act rashly right under my nose.

“Let me go!” Jayden screamed when one of my men placed a hot iron on his arm and from where I sat I could feel that he was really feeling the heat of my brunt but I was not satisfied.

Because to me the men were not doing a great job and it looks like I needed to show them how it works.

“How are you feeling, cousin?” I asked walking closer to Jayden but instead of replying, he groaned in pain instead. I knew better than anybody that he would not be able to hold on.

Jayden has been forever pampered by his parents thinking that when he grew up he could be the best competition with me. His parents had so much expectation for him but that was just their wish.

And right now their wish has landed their precious son into the pit. Getting rid of me might have gotten in his head that he would not even mind planning with strangers to take me out.

I dragged a chair to sit in front of him and I saw dear in his eyes immediately his eyes met with mine.

“What? You are getting scared already?” I scoffed and I saw him shake his head. “You should not be scared. I am sure you were not scared when you killed that innocent girl,” I said angrily and I kicked the chair which sent Jayden to the ground and I asked my next get him back up.

“So how did you feel being tied up here like this with no one to help you, not even your accomplice,” I say.

“Accomplice? What did you mean?” Jayden asked and I knew he was going to deny it. “Do you know what I learnt when I joined the army?” I said and I saw Jayden shiver in fear.

“If they don’t talk torture them, if they are talking torture them more because they might be lying and when they are done talking make sure to make it clear to them that their life is fleeting that is how we keep betrayal on the leash,” I say and Jayden burst into sobs hearing that.

“Bradley…. why are you doing.. this, are we, not family?” Jayden asked, moaning in pain. I asked my men to let him go. “Family?” I say and I burst into hysterical laughter.

I don’t know when the sound of that amuses me so much but it really does sound intriguing to hear the word family from a bastard like Jayden.

“It’s really funny to hear the word family coming from you Jayden, I mean you would not think twice planning an attack on the person you claim to call family but you think I should forgive you because we are family, don’t you think I have been lenient enough, after what your father did to me?” I said and I saw his facial expression change.

“But that was all my father, it has nothing to do with me,” Jayden says frantically and I scoff.

“Of course, he has everything to do with you, if I disappear, would you think it’s going to get benefitted?” I asked glaring at the boy coldly seeing how he was trying to shift responsibilities.

My mind went back to the event that happened 14 years ago and I can’t help but scoff at the remembrance. After being saved by the rescue team I spent so much time at the hospital but during that time my grandfather had already found out that my uncle was the one that was behind my kidnap.

Because he does not want the public to get a whiff of it he decided to cover it up by not punishing my uncle but just demoting him and when I decided to throw a tantrum about it he sent me to the army and that was how I was cut off.

My father fought for me back then but my mother was more concerned about not losing the company so my father later gave up but before I went to the army he told me two things.

“Be more powerful and come get revenge,” that was his words and at that time I knew exactly what he meant but being powerful is not everything but right now I already got my hands on Jayden I am going to make sure that he won’t be spared.

“But you and your father really have something in common,” I say and Jayden looked at him surprised. “What did you mean?” He asked.Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.

“That man’s father is the man your father asked to kidnap me back then, he is the son of the gang leader, and you are your father’s son, you has the same taste in people just like him,” I said and I saw Jayden gasping.

Of course, he should be surprised because I was also shocked when I got to know that Daniel was Louis from back then. I still could not get over it and I know he might be back for revenge since he believes that I caused his father’s death.

“But I really don’t have anything to do with him, that man Daniel manipulated me, believe me cousin,” Jayden says pleading desperately and I smile knowing I have him exactly where I wanted him to be.

“Ok, I believe you but you are going to do something for me, since you are not the one that cause this mess don’t you think it is only right that the person that caused it should here instead,” I say coldly and j saw that Jayden was deliberating about what I said.

I know that it was not going to be long till he succumbed since he is not a loyal person and little nudging would make him start blabbering.

I walked away from him giving my men a signal to take care of him. I decided to walk out of the place but my phone blares up and when I picked it up, what the other person at the other side of the phone said got stunned..

“Seriously? Then I would be there,” I responded and I rushed out.

I rushed to the hospital after I heard the news about Georgina wanting to have surgery. I never knew she was going to think it through after so long.

I entered the doctor’s office and I saw Georgina’s Aunt but immediately she saw me and she stood up. “I would be going now,” she said to the doctor and I bowed slightly to her.

“Why is she here?” I asked the doctor while taking a seat. “She is here to ask about the surgery success rate,” she says and I sigh.

“Would she be okay?” I asked because I was also worried just like her Aunt. “Yes Mr. Bradley, the position of the tumor is not that dangerous so the success rate is high even though there might be an after-effect,” he says and I squint my eyes.

“After effect?” I asked and he nodded. “Yes, I heard that Miss Georgina has a case of memory loss before so we can not overlook that,” the doctor says and I nodded but I knew everywhere would be fine as long as I stay by her side.

“You would need to sign this consent forms, Mr. Hale,” the doctor says handing over some forms to me. I took it from me but I don’t know why I felt that for a consent form the forms looked too much but I brushed it off thinking that I am just being paranoid.

“Is this all?” I asked the doctor and I saw him looking awkward. “Yes.. yes of course,” he says and I wondered why he seemed scared.

After signing the documents I walked towards Georgina’s room and I saw her Aunt walking out of the room and I bow slightly. She smiled seeing me and she walked towards me.

“You are really a good man, Bradley Hale and thank you so much for taking care of Georgina,” she said and I nodded but before I could say anything she cut me off. “Thank you for taking care of my niece, I really mean it,” she said and walked off.

I think the woman’s attitude was a little bit off but I decided not to dwell on it as I opened the door to Georgina’s ward.

She was reading a book and she looked like an angel with her pale skin that I can’t help but get lost in. “Are you not going to come?” I heard her voice and that jolted me out of my thoughts. “It’s just that you are so beautiful that I could not help but stare,” I say and she squinted her eyes not believing me but that was not the truth.

“Whatever, come to me dear husband,” Georgina says, opening her arms wide for a hug with a smile on her beautiful face and it was like she chanted a spell and I found myself walking towards her.

Yes, she was the only witch that could compel him to do her wish…
