I’m Dedicated To You

“I hate being stepped over, “I say with a crazy look in my eyes.

“So what do you think Mr. Hale, did you think that reason is enough to help me,” I asked him and he looked at me smiling.

“I didn’t know you have this side to you,” Bradley says after some minutes of not saying anything.

“Why? did you think I am some innocent girl that won’t do anything even if she is being bullied”.

“But why did you think I will help you?” he asked with a cunning smile and I know what he is driving at.

“You already proposed the offer to me before I don’t think you will be so petty to go back on your words right?”I asked, cocking my eyebrows.

“Of course, not Miss Grey but you know my help comes with a benefit or should I say payment,” he says and I can’t help but facepalmed myself of how he is consistent about his offer.

“And what is the price that I have to pay?”I asked, playing dumb about what he meant.

“Marry me,” he says and I smile about how he doesn’t change.

“Mr. Hale is something you are helping but in return you want me to marry you. If we look at the situation I think I am the one still gaining the most,” I say.

“How are you gaining the most,” Bradley asked.

“I will be Mrs. Hale and a lot of people have to respect me and I will also gain more power to do whatever I want that I won’t even be needing to ask you for help so, are you saying that’s going to be my payment when I am the one benefitting the most, “I asked him because I don’t understand his intentions.

“You just have to be Mrs. Hale and that’s it, why did you have so many questions,” he asked amused.

“But how is our marriage going to work? We are not like average couples, so I think we need to discuss that”.

“You need to recover first so, I think we are going to discuss that later”.

“What about my scandal?” I asked him so I can know when he is going to help me because I don’t want to be a forgotten actress before I address it.

“When do you want me to deal with it?”.

“You can start when you feel like but I want it done before my arm heals,” I say, raising my hands.

“Then I think I should get to work now ma’am,” he says jokingly and I was amazed by how I can communicate with him flawlessly.

“Are you always like this with people?” I asked not knowing when I voiced it out because I was busy looking into his gray eyes when I noticed what I just said. I closed my eyes waiting for his choking aura but nothing changed in the room temperature.

“I am like this just with you,” he says with clear eyes and I could sense that he is telling the truth.

“Then why me because we just met on Friday and this is Sunday what possible connection could we have developed in just two days,” I asked not believing why he would say something like that.Content is © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

“If you don’t think we had a connection why did you agree to marry me don’t tell me it’s just because you want me to help you,” he says and that got me thinking because I haven’t thought about it. After all, I didn’t see a reason to but now I can’t help but think about it.

“I don’t but I just crazily trust a man that I just met two days ago and it may be because almost all the people in the country know you. Maybe that’s why I trusted you,” I say, giving myself a plausible reason for it even though my mind is telling me otherwise.

“Is that the reason you could come up with?” he asked me and I nodded my head at him.

“Then I think I also trust you to make a good wife for me,” he said sarcastically and I looked at him with an annoyed look.

“I think that’s it for my reason, how did you want to deal with the people that bully you,” Bradley asked me, switching to a professional voice and I concluded in my mind that if he is not an heir to a successful group in this life he would have been a con artist.

“You can deal with the young master of Tukes group but I will deal with the Dream entertainment agency myself, “I say.

“Why did you want to deal with your agency yourself,” he asked and I noticed he is wondering why I want to do that and why I can save myself the trouble.

“They already want to suppress me for a while but the scandal is just an opportunity for them to push me out completely so, I am going to make a comeback and restore my reputation before I pushed them out but I have to get well soon,” I say pitifully looking at my injured hand.

“Don’t worry you are going to be fine soon and the cast I will ask doctor Shawn about it”.

“So, did I just make a deal with the devil,” I asked, teasing Bradley that I noticed that I am comfortable.

“This devil will surely meet your requirements because in a week now you will be eating popcorn while watching breaking news on your TV,” Bradley says and I shiver to notice the terror in his voice.

“I hope it’s going to be worth the wait, “I asked and he nodded his head.

“Did you want to come down for dinner?” Bradley asked and I shook my head.

“I don’t think I will want to stress myself on the stairs to eat another soup,” I say in a longing voice, missing the different delicacies I want to taste.

“Don’t worry I will be sure to ask doctor Shawn if it’s fine now for you to start eating some food?” he said and I looked at him with stars in my eyes.

“If I know food can make you smile so beautifully like this I should have mentioned it earlier to cheer you,” he says smiling. I got dumbstruck by how handsome looked when smiling like that and I heard my heart beating so loud that I was afraid that he would hear it.

“Don’t ever smile like that in front of me again”I say because I have to protect my heart from beating for this man even though I think I am failing terribly at it Bradley looked confused by what I said but I don’t have the time to exchange words with him.

“Can you please ask Tara to bring my food? “I say and used the blanket to cover my face after I heard the door open and closed again, I removed the blanket from my head and I can’t help but think of how this BENEFIT MARRIAGE is going to be at my disadvantage because I am going crazy over this gray eyes man gesture but there is no going back anyways I am going to get married to one of the most influential bachelors in the country?

BRADLEY POV

I entered my study room full of smiles at how my plans are finally falling into place. I picked up my phone and I dial a call on it

“Hello, Lucas I hope you are already making the arrangements I asked you for,” I say into my phone.

“Yes, boss, they already caught the bait and we can strike anytime we want, “Lucas says from the other side of the phone.

“Leave them, for now, let them enjoy their remaining days in their home and await my order,” I say hanging up on the phone.

The Tukes group won’t know what hit them when I started my assault on them.

“Enjoy your remaining days visiting lots of clubs when you are still free because prison doesn’t have any,” I say with a dangerous glint in my eyes while looking at the video of Drew Tukes messing with girls at a club…
