I’m Dedicated To You

JAYDEN’S POV

I looked around the lounge Daniel brought me to and I felt a little anxious knowing my life was now hanging on a thread especially after Bradley caught on to my plan.

I stared at Daniel in disgust as he busied himself with mixing us cocktails and I wondered what was worth celebrating when our plan didn’t succeed and I even got demoted with my father.

What worse of an embarrassment was that? Bradley would soon be coming for their head after they declared war against him. There was no way he was letting them go. It was just going to be a matter of time before Bradley kicks me out and I must not let it happen.

“Did you think this is the time for mixing cocktails, don’t you hear what I say? I just say we are done for Bradley to catch up on our plans and he would soon be going for our head,” I said panicky but Daniel was still not giving me a look and I hissed in frustration.

“That’s your problem, Jayden, you don’t always look at the bigger picture. If the picture you painted has been smeared by your cousin, the only thing you can do is paint another one,” Daniel says and I looked at him like he had lost his mind.

How can I paint another picture when the whole painting room is in disarray?

“The paint room you are going to need I would provide for you,” I heard Daniel say and his lips raised up in a smirk and I looked at him confused. “I think we should throw away the idea of letting Bradley stay alive while we snatched the company from him, we should get rid of him completely”.

I got shocked by what Daniel said but I can’t say I detest the idea I had once planned an attack on him. It’s just that it wasn’t successful. That was the reason I was stuck in trying to get on the track by following Daniel’s idea.

“So you are saying all we need to do is get rid of Bradley?” I asked and Daniel nodded and I decided to weigh the pros and cons of the situation.

I looked around the room after noticing the intense stare and I saw a figure hiding behind a couch at the bar.Content © provided by NôvelDrama.Org.

“Someone is eavesdropping on our conversation,” I made an alarm and immediately I realized that the figure jumped up and it made for the run.

“Catch that b****h,” Daniel ordered and I panicked sensing the situation. If the reporter could get to Bradley and tell what Daniel and I just say, me and my father were going to be done for.

I knew I must not let that woman get out of there alive. “Daniel, that woman must not live,” I say and the man nodded and we rushed after the men too.

OLIVIA’S POV

My legs ran faster than ever when I noticed the men catching up to me but I knew I must not get caught because it would be a game over.

They were discussing how they were going to take Bradley down and I knew I had to tell Bradley about it. I looked at the phone in my hand and I knew it was best to keep the phone as evidence since that was where I recorded their conversation so I dropped it inside my pants.

I felt the men catching up to me real quick but I was relieved to see the front door not far away. All I needed was to just get out of here, I thought as I ran short of breath but my hope was lost when I felt someone jerking my head from behind and my heart stopped immediately.

Did I get caught already? I thought as l looked at the front door that was not far away anymore and I got dragged back to the lounge.

I was dumped like a sack in front of Bradley’s cousin and the other shady man and I quickly thought of a way to pacify the situation.

“Please don’t kill me,” I pleaded seeing the look on the man’s face and I got scared knowing the man might be really bent on killing me. “I would make sure whatever I heard today remains a secret so please let me go,” I pleaded but the men were unyielding.

“Did you know the problem, Miss?” Daniel asked me and I shook my head vigorously and he smirked. “The problem is that you heard something and with that, I cannot let you go,” Daniel says and he gives Bradley’s cousin a look.

I panicked not understanding the look but the man doesn’t care a bit. “Please let me go my friend is in the hospital, she would worry…,” I was saying but I trailed off when a gun was pointed at me

“I am sorry Miss but you have to go first,” the man says and without waiting for me to plead for mercy he pulled the trigger and the sound of a gun filled the air. I felt a pang in my chest and I knew there was no escaping from it.

My life moment rushed through my eyes and I smiled when I saw that I was surrounded by my friends who loved me through the years.

“But why does everything seem so short? What a fleeting life it has been,” I stuttered and my eyes dilated slowly before it closed completely and I knew that was a goodbye.
