I’m Dedicated To You

BRADLEY’S POV

I drove into my estate and I saw the butler standing outside the door with anxiety. “What’s going on,” Bradley asked the man at my grandfather who was seething with anger and I sighed knowing he had already gotten the information about what happened.

Of course, I nabbed him right in front of his estate, which is more like going into his house to get him, which Hale’s rule does not support.

I walked into my house and I saw my grandfather sitting on the couch with his butler standing beside him.

“What are you doing ….” I was about to ask but my grandfather did not let me even bother with it.

“Release him,” Grandpa Hale ordered but Bradley did not even bulge with his grandfather’s threat. “Are you going to do it again?” Bradley asked, looking at his grandfather and he almost burst into laughter at the sight of the man’s serious face.

“What did you mean, am I going to do it again?” My grandpa asked, looking confused but his expression changed when the realization set in.

His face scrunched up in anger when he realized what I was saying. He knew very well what happened back at the time because he was the main reason why my uncle turned me down that way.

He turned him into a man that could have planned his nephew’s abduction and he would still go scot-free without being punished. The betrayal I would never forget, the betrayal that is still engraved in my heart.

I was enraged that time that I was even planning to go tell the press but my grandfather caught on to it and tried to cover for his son he did not think twice about sending his favorite grandson to the army without any remorse.

That was how our enviable bond turned soul overnight but I did not care because I also do not want to get entangled with him anymore. He promised to make anyone that did that to me pay but when it turns out it was his son he changed his tune and I was the one that later bore the brute.Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.

That I could not forgive him.

“What are you saying this is different from what happened the other time,” my grandfather argued and I know Jayden’s mother might have put so much effort into begging me so I could let her son free but that was a wrong move.

“Yes, you are right this is different because this time your favorite grandson killed someone,” I say and I noticed my grandfather’s face did not change which only means he was aware of what was going on.

“You already knew and you are still here,” I said and he shrugged his shoulders. “He is still your cousin. Give him to me I would discipline him myself,” my grandfather says and I just scoff.

Was he going to discipline him himself? And I was supposed to believe that lie?

“You are going to discipline him?” I asked with an amused smirk hitched on my lips. “What if I don’t want to hand him over? What are you going to do? Are you going to send me to the military this time around too?” I asked him and I saw that he was not pleased with my words but I don’t care. I was not looking forward to him being cool with my words.

“Jayden is just messing around and I am sure that he will behave himself better next time,” my grandfather says but I was not getting convinced. I was not a lenient person so why should I listen to his words?

“Your grandson killed a girl so I hope you would stop being like this and let me take care of it myself,” I said through gritted teeth and my grandfather’s face turned grim. “You did not care about your family?” He asked, his voice seething with anger.

“No, I do care and that’s why I am doing this Georgina is my wife and your grandson messed with my wife’s sister and as a filial husband I ought to get revenge on her behalf, right?” I say and my grandfather snorted.

“I am sure your wife would understand if you tell her the situation. She is also part of the family, right? It would not be a problem to ask her to overlook it,” my grandfather says and I wondered if he has also been selfish and doesn’t care about anyone’s feelings because his behavior was just outrageous.

“You want her to be lenient because Jayden is family? When did your grandson murder her sister?” I asked and I scoffed, not believing what I was hearing.

“I am saying…can’t you just be lenient your aunt is a mess right now worrying about her son,” my grandfather says and I smirked knowing my guess was right the woman really has a way of manipulating grandfather and that was actually what she did back then too. She makes sure her husband got out of his evil ways unscathed.

I thought of what to do to get my grandfather to go because I fear that if he stays and says more unpleasant words I might actually lose my temper which would not be good.

“Did you really want me to let him go?” I asked my grandfather and I saw his mood lightened even though he looked wary of me. “Yes, I would like it if you let him go, you are both cousins after all,” he said and I sneered at his words.

He keeps saying family while the same one he keeps protecting was going after each other’s neck.

“What would you give me if I let him go?” I asked to take a seat in front of my grandfather and he squinted his eyes when he heard my question.

I already knew what he would offer me but I just wanted to put the words in his mouth so my plan could fall into place.

“The Hale group is already yours and I would make sure that brat stays out of your sight too,” he says and I smiled knowing the old man just fell into my trap.

“Getting him out of my sight? I think I can do that myself,” I say standing up and my grandfather creases his eyebrow not getting what I am saying.

“Tell Aunt Kate that he should go look for his son in Dernice’s psychiatrist next week but she should go with a guard in case things get too violent,” I say and my grandfather stomps his leg in anger.

“You did that….,” He says and he looks like he might be suffering from a heart attack because of his anger. “You really are beyond redemption,” he snorted and he stood up from the couch while glaring at me.

“Don’t you dare think I would give the group to you with this unruly behavior,” he threatened while walking out of the house and I smiled.

I am definitely going to make sure that Jayden and the other man pay and nothing would stop me, not even my grandfather.
