CHAPTER 41: I SHOULD MARK YOU
BRADLEY’S POV
After getting back from the business trip that took me some days, the boys asked me out for a drink, so I went to a Ballad bar that one of Fredrick’s friends owns. It has been some minutes now since I got to the bar and Douglas had been going on and on about how frustrated he was with his dad but we have to listen to him anyways because we don’t want his childish ranting.
“I mean I am his son, how can he say to my face that I am useless?”Douglas complained while sipping his drink.
“If you care about the company a little bit maybe it would have been different,” Frederick says but he was glared at by Douglas.
“Bradley, are you not going to say something?”.
“Are you done crying I want to go home now”I say and Frederick and Douglas looked at themselves wrongly.
“You haven’t even got married yet but you want to ditch the boys, let me use the restroom first and then we can leave,” Douglas says walking out of the private room.
“How are you planning to deal with your uncle and your cousin,” Frederick asked.
“I am going to leave them be till they dig their own grave”.
“Is your old man still protecting your uncle?”.
After Frederick asked me that question it jolted my memory to the time I was kidnapped and how grandpa protected my uncle back then.
“It’s not going to be long till he makes a mistake that I am sure of and when is Douglas going to get back?”.
“About Georgina are you serious about her,” Frederick asked and I got suspicious because among us he is the one that always minds his business so, why is this one different?
“I mean it’s not like your family is going to support you marrying her and it’s not like you love her too so, what’s going to happen to her”.
“My family doesn’t have a say about who I wanted to marry and also if you are asking me if I am serious about marrying her then, yes I am”.
“Then do you love her!” Frederick asked me and I looked at him dumbfounded because I also don’t know the answer to that yet but my thought was immediately interrupted by Douglas rushing into the room.?
“Breaking news” he shouted and I felt like I should strangle him.
“Guess who I saw in the karaoke room,” he says and when he sees that no one cares about it he continues “It’s my sister-in-law”.
“Who?” I asked, already suspecting who it might be.
“Georgina of course and she is good at singing…”Douglas was saying but I didn’t bother hearing the rest when I vacated the room to check if what Douglas was saying was true.
While getting to the karaoke room I heard the sound of someone screaming for help and I immediately badged into the room. The scene that I saw made my blood boil. I saw Olivia and Victoria being held down by some guys and Georgina being harassed by a red-haired punk.Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.
“What the hell is happening here!!”I screamed coldly and I even got mad when I saw how the stupid boy’s hand was holding Gina.
“Huh… Mr… Hale… we… are…. sorry…” the boy started stuttering quickly leaving Georgina alone but he was interrupted by Frederick.
“He asked you a simple question” he also said coldly and everyone in the room almost wet their pants because the kind of aura the two men were emanating was so deadly and the stupid rich boy must be cursing himself for being unlucky for getting involved with the three deadly young masters.
“They.. were… harassing… us,” Georgina explained, choking on her words, her pitiful acts made Bradley’s stomach twist in anger and when Bradley wanted to embrace Georgina Frederick also offered a helping hand but he quickly withdrew his hand when he saw Bradley’s actions and Douglas noticed this little gesture of his.
Bradley embraced Georgina in his cold body and all Georgina could feel was just warmth.
“Olivia, can you explain what went wrong here?” Bradley asked, facing Olivia since Georgina isn’t in the right sense to explain anything.
“We decided to have a girl’s night since it’s has been a long time and Georgina was entertaining us by singing a song but we were immediately interrupted by this man badging in with his thugs and he started harassing Gina and when we asked them to stop harassing her we were also assaulted”.
“Is that true Gina?” Bradley asked me and I nodded my head.
“Which hand does he harass you with, “Bradley asked and I said both absent-mindedly because I don’t know what he is driving at.
“Can you step out for a bit, babe”Bradley asked me, calling me fondly . My friends and I decided to step out and the door to the karaoke was closed.
“What did you think they were doing in the room?”Olivia asked but I didn’t say anything because it’s just so much drama for a night.
“How exciting will it be if one of them could grant me an interview, “Victoria said dreamily. I smiled but my smile quickly vanished when I heard a groaning sound inside the room.
“Did you think they were beating them? “Olivia asked and we all quieted down trying to process what exactly was happening but we saw Jonny and some men in Black clothes walking towards us.
“Ma’am what’s going on, “Johnny asked but I told him that I don’t know and he entered the room and that’s when we saw the situation of the room.
“OMG is like I am watching a wrestling match but with someone having an upper hand, “Olivia says while watching the men in the room groaning in pain.
“I am so sorry sir I didn’t know she is your wife”, the man that harassed me said while groaning in pain over the torture that Bradley is putting him through.
“You didn’t know she is my wife”Bradley repeated what the man said, stomping his hand.
“That’s enough Brad I am sure Johnny and the rest can take care of it, “Douglas says because Bradley is already losing it.
“Make sure you keep him well. I will settle the scores later with him, “Bradley says, dragging me along with him without even letting me say goodbye to my friends.
“Wow, it looks like Mr. Bradley is angry”.
“Why do we always get in trouble and I ..”Victoria was saying but she was interrupted by Douglas.
“Maybe because you girls are beautiful that’s why you guys are attracting trouble,” he says and the girls turn to look at him.
“Ohhh I am sorry to interrupt you, my name is Douglas Smith.”Douglas introduced himself by extending his hand to Victoria but she didn’t accept it so Olivia quickly accepted it to lessen the awkwardness by accepting his handshake.
“Olivia Grey and she is Victoria gray we are Georgina sisters”.
“Olivia let’s go, “Victoria says not giving a damn about Douglas and Olivia quickly tries to keep up with her after bowing to Douglas.
“Wow, looks like Miss Victoria is a feisty one and I like that”.
“Let go Douglas” Frederick says after getting out of the karaoke room and cleaning his hands to get rid of the bloodstains.
“Don’t you think you are overdoing it? “Douglas asked.
“What do you mean?”.
“She is Bradley’s woman so, please don’t do anything but if you have a change of mind let both chase Georgina’s friends I will go with Victoria and you should go with Olivia”. Douglas says but Frederick is not having it.
“How did you know,” Frederick asked.
“It’s obvious so if I could notice did you think Bradley won’t,” Douglas says exiting the bar.
“But what if I can’t help it” Frederick mutters sighing remembering how he met Georgina.
Inside Bradley’s car taking Georgina home it’s so silent that it’s making Georgina so uncomfortable.
“I am so sorry I didn’t mean to cause trouble for you, “I say peeping at Bradley but his earlier demeanor still didn’t change that no matter what Georgina says Bradley still didn’t give her any attention.
“Let’s get our marriage certificate tomorrow,” Bradley says after the earlier deafening silence.
“What” I exclaimed.
“Since many men are already hovering around you then I should mark you,” he says and I got stunned
“Does Mr. Hale think that he is a vampire”…
