I’m Dedicated To You

Two days passed and Bradley still hasn’t opened his eyes. We were all worried because they say he is recovering well and there is nothing wrong with his system but he hasn’t shown signs of consciousness.

“Thank God for that video the scandal would have escalated more than that,” Manager Janice says, sighing in relief but I do not even have the cheek to smile with her because I still do not understand that person’s intentions.

We are currently in a coffee shop because manager Janice told me I have a deal to sign and I left Bradley in Miss Peller’s care.

“The smoke cleared quickly as soon as it comes” she continues signing a file in her hands and I knows she was referring to the scandal that broke out saying I usually bullied newbies on set and the newbie in question turned out to be Jessie and the netizens started taking it got but the table turns immediately video was uploaded and it shows the interaction between me and Jessie and all that transpired between us that that.

“Did you guys still don’t know who uploaded the video?”I asked manager Janice for the umpteenth time today and she shook her head.

“No, the IP address can not be traced and can you please sign this is for Maggie fashion week,” she said excitedly and I just sighed.

“After I won’t be taking work for the time being and when is this event going to take place?”I asked, checking the contract.

“Three months from now,” she says and my hands hang in mid-air from signing.

“Why will you ask me to sign a contract for three months away,” I asked, pushing the contract away.

“But why this is a good opportunity and Maggie is hoping that you will come. She says you might not be opportune to sign the contract because your schedule might be packed, that is why she is offering you a contract early,” manager Janice explained.

“You know always attracts bees wherever go so, I can’t promise I won’t get into trouble before that but I promise if I am still the undefeatable Georgina Grey of showbiz then I will grace her went like the queen I, am, “I say standing up not giving room for manager Janice persuasion.

While walking back to the hospital, I still attracted attention to myself because I was wearing a black hoodie, black denim jeans, a black nose mask, and black boots. I entered the elevator and my phone littered with a notification sound. I obtained it from my pocket but the words I read from the message shocked me.

I hurried into Bradley’s room and the commotion I met amazed me.

“And the dutiful wife decided to show up,”my mother-in-law mocked but that was the least of my worries.

“What’s going on here?”I asked, eyeing the men in suits.

“Oh I am sorry I should have introduced them earlier. These are the lawyers that are going to take care of your divorce, you should be good with them,” She said smiling and I gaped at her in awe.

“Divorce?”I asked…..

I looked at my mother-in-law like she had grown some extra horns.

“Miss Peller, can you please give us some minutes?”I asked Miss Peller and she strolled out of the room leaving me with my mother-in-law and the lawyers she brought with her.

“What do you say?”I asked again, wanting to be sure that I heard her right.

“Ohhh don’t worry if you are worrying about your alimony I will ask them to give you something tangible you don’t have to think too much,” she says smugly and takes a deep breath before I say a word.© 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

“Let’s discuss this outside woman, “I say, not wanting to let our unsettled talk disturb Bradley’s recovery.

“What a rude brat”my mother-in-law mutters but she didn’t bulge and I know she doesn’t care about her son hearing us at all.

“Why did you think I will divorce your son?”I asked, taking a seat beside Bradley and I used the towel beside him to clean his sweat.

“Because money is all you need and I’m going to give you,” she says signaling to the lawyers and one of them handing me a file.

I skipped through the files while walking towards the room window and looked down at the buzzing street outside the hospital.

“Mrs. Hale I thought you were a respectable woman but today you just made me lose the little respect I have for you, “I say, dropping the files in my hand on the floor.

“You!!!” my mother-in-law yelled her face livid with anger but I cautioned her to not make noise because of Bradley.

“What did I actually expect from some that don’t have regard for anyone and you still want to stay married to my son,” she asked and her former elegance and grace returned as she sat back down crossing her leg.

“You really are something Mrs. Hale, a lot of people will be worrying about their son on sick beds not worrying about how to make their daughter-in-law sign the divorce paper”I express my disappointment but Emily just snorts.

“Go through the agreement I’m sure you will think about it, “she says standing up.

“If I’m going to divorce your son don’t you think half of his wealth should be mine,” I say and my mother-in-law glares at me and if looks could kill I will be five feet under by now.

“I know that’s all you ever think about to know to milk my son dry what a gold-digging b**”h you are,” she says walking and charging towards me but a hoarse voice behind us stops her movement.

“You want that mom”Bradley’s raspy voice and my stomach twisted in excitement
