I’m Dedicated To You

Getting discharged from the hospital was so chaotic that I even get exhausted just thinking about it, I mean we have to take the back entrance because of some reporters that might be lurking around the hospital even though Bradley assured me that there won’t be anyone but you can never be too careful and Bradley mood has also been so sour that I was tempted to ask him what the problem was.

“You should go with Mr. Bradley, for now, best we will come to see you when you settle in,” Olivia says beaming with smiles and I can’t help but be convinced that she is happy with the situation right now.

“Ollie are you happy with what’s happening to me now,” I asked her, raising an eyebrow. Victoria looked at us shaking her head tired of our bickering.

“What do you mean that I am happy with the situation? I think you should be the one happy with the situation” she replies smiling with all her teeth if I don’t know how many molars Ollie has before now I know.

“Why should I be happy,” I asked.

“You are moving in with the most eligible bachelor in the country so, you should be very happy a lot of girls will kill to have this opportunity,” she said I and Victoria looked at her as if she loses some screw in her head.

“I am moving in with him because I didn’t have any choice and not because I fancy him” I clarified but Olivia is still not having it anyways so, I just leave her be.

“When are they going to get here, “Victoria asked and I also got impatient because Bradley just told us he had something to do and that he should wait a little bit. We have been waiting for a long time now. I think he should be here now.

“Sorry, we kept you waiting” I heard that cold husky voice saying and I knew who it belonged to without me turning my head.

“It’s fine, can we go now?”I asked lazily because I am so exhausted and with the cast on I don’t think I want to stay standing any longer.

“We are going to bring some of her things when we get back home so, we might inconvenience you for the time being, “Victoria says politely and I wondered if she was a princess in her past life because of the way she acts.

“Mr. Hale you are a nice person, you are different from what we see on tabloids, “Olivia says and I can’t help but roll my eyes, is it not reporters that usually write on tabloids but my best friend as a bootlicker roasted herself anyways.

“Are you not a reporter?” Bradley asks and the realization hits her when she understands the meaning behind the questions. I noticed Victoria’s embarrassed look and Bradley’s assistant’s stiff face. I bet he is trying to hold in his laugh.

“Ollie you guys should get going now”I shoo her away because I know she might not be done embarrassing herself.

“Mr. Hale” Olivia called and I held my breath expecting another embarrassed talk from Olivia but she proved me wrong.

“Please take care of my friend,” she says and I looked at her lovingly “She can’t do much because of her hand so, maybe you can help her with her bath” Olivia finished saying and she quickly ran to their car and Victoria looked at me apologetically on behalf of what Olivia just says and my expression is no better because I feel so embarrassed right now how on Earth am I going to face Bradley now.

“Your friends are something I think I know the reason why you guys are still friends,” Bradley says but I don’t have the energy to face him so I just bow my head to the ground.

“Let go now Miss Grey, you don’t want to be caught in the busy traffic of the city”.

I make my way to the car but Bradley opens the car door for me which got me surprised. I wanted to tease him about how he acted gentlemanly but I kicked against it because I am still embarrassed by Olivia’s joke.

“So, Miss Grey let’s get you home, Caleb let’s go,” he says and I noticed his assistant Lucas is not the one doing the driving but another man but I think it’s normal.

The city was lit up with the sun already setting but with the dimmed sunlight the city still looks so amazing that even the tinted car window can’t dim the view.© 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

Being in the same car as Bradley Hale was suffocating. I don’t know why people find it honorable. I just felt uncomfortable but I can’t say anything because it was not my car, and can someone please tell him to stop looking at me?

“You can release the breath you are holding in Miss Grey I don’t bite,” he says and I released the breath I didn’t know I was holding.

“I think you have been stiff around me ever since you know who I was”.

“No It’s have not awkward” I replied with a dry laugh that sounded like someone is even crying in my ears.

“So, can you tell me about your scandal,” he asked and that ticked off some bad thoughts in my mind.

“Gina, Gina” I heard someone call and I looked beside me to find out that I was still beside Bradley Hale and I was lost in thought.

“I am sorry I was just lost in thought earlier, “I say in a solemn voice.

“We are here,” he says and I looked at the place where the car stopped.

“Are we in heaven?” I was amazed at the magnificent mansion in front of me.

“We are in Golden Estate and this is my humble abode”.

“You call this humble,” I asked with my mouth wide open. I looked at the beautiful mansion or should I say castle in front of me glittering with luxuries.

“I am going to live in this place?” I asked and Bradley looked at me amused.

“This has always been your place,” he says.

“Hun?” I was confused about what he said but he didn’t answer me and he walked forward into the building and I quickly followed him, so I won’t get left behind and the workers will not let me in again.

“Mr. Hale you are home” I heard an old woman greet him and she kinda looks like a worker in the house.

“Miss Peller I hope the arrangements are all set,” he asked the woman. I got confused about the arrangements but I decided to not care about it because this is not my house anyways.

“So, Miss Peller this is….”

“Hi, ma’am I am Georgina Grey” I cut in introducing myself and the woman smiled at me.

“Welcome home Madame,” she says in a thick French accent but Madame I am not that old.

“Don’t call me that? “I say jokingly so she won’t take offense at the correction but she just smiles anyways and I don’t know if she cares about the correction.

“Sorry about the hand” She pointed to my hand with the cast and I told her I am fine.

The old woman and Bradley talked for a while and at that time I tried to feast my eyes on the house’s interior decorations. All I can say is that money is surely good. Even as an actress that has witnessed a lot of luxuries I am still amazed.

“Someone will take you to your room now or I can take you there myself”.

“No don’t trouble yourself I am sure I can find my way to my room” Then I realized that I didn’t know my room “or not,” I beamed.

“Follow me,” He says and I was trying to reason with him about that but I got so carried away with the house decor that I didn’t even bother about what Bradley was saying.

“This is your room,” he says pointing to a door with a brown door with lovely prints on it and I get amazed by it.

“Wow, it’s so lovely,” I said, amazed.

“And that’s my room,” he says , pointing to a door beside it.

“You are living next door,” I asked surprised…
