I’m Dedicated To You

Third POV

After James made the call to Bradley he had been uneasy and he kept fidgeting with his fingers.

He doesn’t know if the plans would backfire or if Bradley was going to catch up on his lie, he was really scared. He knew Bernard was not a man to be strife with.

He is a psychopath. Their first encounter already tells him the kind of person he is so he doesn’t need a soothsayer to tell him his fate if he eventually caught up on his plan.

“What are you doing out here?” James heard Bernard’s voice and he immediately jerked up in fear but he quickly composed himself back knowing the man in front of him could notice any slightest change.

“I am fine sir,” James replied hurriedly and Bernard let out a smirk. “I never asked you if you were okay, I asked what you were doing?” Bernard says getting close to James and the latter shifted back in fear.

James saw Bernard scrutinizing him with his eyes and he shifted back in fear not wanting to be caught with man’s eagle eyes.

“What have you done James?” Bernard asked and James’ panicked face already sold him out. Bernard smiled seeing the guilty expression that was laid on James’s face and he knew he had definitely done something.

“Don’t tell me you sold me already?” Bernard asked to get closer to James and his face darkened which scared James.

James knew being on a ship meant he could die without a trace that was why he should be more careful than ever but he knew Bernard was also a calculative man he would catch up to his trick.

“What do you mean Bernard? Did you forget we are in this together,” James says laughing hysterically and he sighed in relief seeing that Bernard believed his lies because he saw him retract his steps.

“If we are in this together why did you make that call?” Bernard asked and James widened his eyes in shock. “What did you mean?” He asked moving backward until his back hit the ship railings but Bernard just smiled.

“We have been long together for you to be lying to me don’t you think?” Bernard asked and before James could defend himself Bernard went for his neck and he was already choking him.

James noticed no matter what he said Bernard was bent on killing him and he decided to put up a fight but Bernard did not give him a chance as he plunged a knife into his chest.

“Ahhh,” James shrieked as he felt the blood drain from his face and his eyes dilated before his body dropped to the ground and his body finally grew cold.

“Tsk tsk,” Bernard looked at the dead body on the ground indifferently and his eyes suddenly widened when he realized something. “That motherf**ker already made some calls. I am sure they would be here soon,” Bernard says and he hurried away.

BRADLEY’S POV

My heart has been in a panic ever since we set out on the sea to look for the sailing ship James told us about. I don’t know why I felt uneasy and I looked around but all I saw was just water and my head hurts knowing Georgina night has felt seasick.

“Don’t worry brother we would definitely catch him,” Douglas assured and I just nodded my head.

“There is a ship in sight,” one of the captains yelled and my heart skipped in joy. They quickly moved closer to the shop and in no time my mom surrounded the place but I felt emptiness.Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.

“My wife is not here,” I mumbled slowly, and what the men said later confirmed my guess.

“Sir this ship is empty and we found a body belonging to James,” one of the men reported and Bradley creases his eyebrow. “What about my wife?” He asked and the man all looked down in shame.

They all looked at the empty ship and they wondered how a decent person like Bernard himself commits so many atrocities.

“Post Bernard’s picture all over the internet and put a price over its head make sure you put a reasonable amount that even the cripple of the country would be tempted to look for him,” I announced but I felt a throbbing headache seeping in but I brushed it off. This was no time to get sick.

“You should rest man,” I heard Frederick say behind me but I brushed it off. I can’t sleep when Georgina is in the hands of a psychopath that is obsessed with her.

Going through Bernard’s house has made them conclude that he was really obsessed with Georgina. Even as Georgina’s husband he did not have that much information about but he was so detailed.

“We are going to search this sea at large,” Bernard says after looking at the footprint that was stained with blood and he saw that the blood had not dried and he came to a conclusion.

They are near. They haven’t gone far.

Georgina was near to him.

JAYDEN’S POV

I kept staring at Daniel who seemed not to have bothered about my existence and I wondered if he even called me in the first place if he really had nothing to tell me.

Daniel glanced at me and maybe when he saw my impatience he decided to give him an audience.

“I heard your cousin has been so busy that he has not gone to the company in the past few days and the board members are displeased,” Daniel says and I nodded my head knowing why Bradley has been busy. He is also shaken by Georgina’s kidnapping and he really hopes they see her soon.

“Hmmm then I assume this is the time then,” Daniel says and I looked at him confused but he just smiled at me.

“You are really slow for someone that planted a bomb in a plane,” he says and my face pale wondering how he knew but he just sneered.

“This is the best time to overthrow your cousin and become the king yourself,” Daniel says and my world stopped. I have never thought about overthrowing Bradley so seeing the opportunity so easily I felt doubtful if that was what I really wanted.

“You can use some displeased board members to question his negligence and then being about the topic of his dismissal,” Daniel says like he was an easy feat and I felt doubtful.

Overthrowing Bradley? Would that be even easy at all?
