I’m Dedicated To You

Back at Hale’s mansion inside Will Hale’s room.

“Why did you interfere in what happened earlier in the dining hall”, Will asked his son Jayden but that didn’t give him any reply.

The man stared at his son long and hard and there was only a conclusion when he arrived.

“Did you like that woman?” Will asked yet another after not receiving a reply from his son but this time around he got his answer.

That silence. The silence alone was enough to give an answer to his question.

“That’s an absurd question, why will my son like that showgirl,” Kate says, hoping her gut feeling is wrong but her son’s answer shocked her.

“Yes I like her and I want her, “Jayden says with a hard face but his father landed a slap on his cheek and Kate got surprised by his actions.

“It’s already bad enough you are useless but don’t go around offending people that could end, you just stay doing nothing and let me spoon-feed you,” Will says and that got Jayden angry.

What does his father take him for?

“Did you think I am the only useless one isn’t because you are useless that’s why grandpa didn’t entrust you to any projects, you can’t even arrange a board meeting without mentioning Grandpa’s name so, you think you are better than me”Jayden lamented and his father got so angry that he landed him a punch.

How horrible was he to end up with a useless son like him?

“Can you guys please stop all this how we are supposed to get the company if you guys are fighting!!”Kate yelled, her breathing ragged not able to take the scene in front of her. What was happening to her family?

“What a useless son “Will spat and Jayden stormed out of the room despite his mother’s pleas.

While storming out of the room Jayden bumped into Bradley on his way to the sitting room. Jayden looked into his eyes and he knew better than not to apologize to him.

“I am sorry”Jayden apologized looking at the stern face of Bradley which was devoid of emotions currently.NôvelD(ram)a.ôrg owns this content.

“Is that for Georgina?”Jayden asked Bradley worry laced in his voice when he saw the supplies in his hand but he didn’t get any answer from him.

“Why are you looking at me like that?”Jayden asked, looking at Bradley who is scrutinizing him with his eyes weirdly.

“Don’t bite more than you can chew”Bradley finally says with his cold voice and Jayden gets so angry about it.

Why was everyone telling him what to do?

“What the fuck did you mean!” he yelled and his voice rang through the corridor but he regretted it when he saw Bradley’s aura change.

“You know what I mean so, I won’t stress myself explaining,” he says, and Jayden’s expression worsened”It’s just two words Jayden BACK OFF,” he says leaving the angered Jayden.

“No matter how long it takes Bradley I will get back at you, “Jayden says through gritted teeth.

BRADLEY’S POV

I walked through the corridor to my room but I bumped into my mother on the way and I saw that her facial expression was not so good but I decided to brushed it off.

“Did you think you had to embarrass your mother because of that girl?” my mother asked but I chose not to answer.

“Go to sleep early mother, you don’t want to wake up with baggy eyes,” I say as I walk past her.

“Did you think I would let you stay married to that girl!?” my mother asked and I can say I inherit my stubbornness from her because I know she is not going to back down that easily.

“I am going to give you a fierce warning because you are my mother, don’t mess with Gina because it’s like you are messing with me and you know the consequences of going against me, “I say coldly walking away but her words stop me.

“Did you still hate me because of what happened then?” she asked and that got me thinking.

“No” came my reply after a long silence and I walked away from her.

“I wouldn’t let that silly girl have my son because my son deserves better”Bradley’s mother mutters looking at the retreating back of her son but what they didn’t know is that a pair of eyes were looking at them.

“I better find myself a good Ally, this one doesn’t look like it,” Juliana says leaving the place.

Inside Olivia’s and Victoria’s apartment, the girl could be seen sitting down on their couch lifelessly.

“Today is nerve-wracking,” Olivia says, placing an icepack on her chest.

“Can you pass that to me too? “Victoria asked, pointing to the ice pack.

AUTHOR’S NOTE:Don’t you think those girls are being dramatic? Why are they using an ice pack when they are not the ones attacked?

“I always pictured sir Douglas as a decent man but today I changed my perspective about him, “Olivia says lifelessly.

“What changed exactly?”Victoria asked, facing her.

“That he is a superhero that every woman should think of sleeping with, “Olivia says daydreaming and Victoria facepalms herself for expecting her friend today something sensible.

“I was expecting you to say something amazing but as always I am disappointed, “Victoria says, using the ice pack to massage her body.

“But why did you think we were attacked?”Olivia asked and her reporter instinct kicked in.

“It’s not our place to get involved they are going to sort it out themselves, “Victoria says cutting Olivia short even though she is also curious because of the look on Douglas’s face when he picked up one of the gangster’s phone is the face of someone being betrayed or something and I just stared into space still wondering why will a young master from a rich family has that kind of look.

“Did you think Georgina will be fine?”I asked Olivia after a long time of silence.

“I don’t know but I think she will be fine” Olivia replied trying to also convince herself.

“Did you think her in-laws won’t mind her background? I heard that they usually care about the family their son’s wife is from. “I say.

“I am also worried but I think Mr. Bradley should be able to take care of that, “Olivia says, sipping her cold coffee.

“Are you having issues at work?” I tried to ask after her but she just laughs it off claiming and bragging that she is the best in her field and you can trust that Olivia is good at that. I just smiled when I saw that she was not stopping anytime soon but my mind wandered to a certain person and I knew it was going to be a long night.
