I’m Dedicated To You

BRADLEY’S POV

Inside a private room, the table was filled with different delicacies that will satiate your palate even just looking at it but the people looking at it don’t have the slightest intention of having a bite.

I stared at the two friends of my wife and I don’t know how to feel at the moment. I don’t even know what I should be feeling right then because the hurt that I was feeling could not be comprehended.

It was like my body was placed under water as it got suffocated with lack of oxygen.

“My wife… she has a brain tumor?” I asked more like a question and I saw them not surprised which confirmed my guess about them.Content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

They knew about everything and they decided to keep it away from me and I mocked myself in my head.

Her friends knew everything about her and as her husband I did not know a thing.

“When did you guys know of it,” I asked both of them and I saw them exchange stares before they bowed their heads.

I looked at the reluctant looks and I know something is holding them back for not saying anything so, even though it was hard I went ahead to tell them about Georgina’s difficulty at the time.

They should know that even though the wanted to keep mute their friend’s life was at stake.

“She is having hand tremors, “I say breaking the silence since none of them is not willing to talk and I saw them geared up in concern.

“Hand tremors?”Olivia asked again to be sure and I shook my head at her.

“So it will be reasonable for you to tell me when she was diagnosed so I can know what to do, “I said in a solemn voice and I saw their mood dampened.

“It started 2 years ago, “Olivia started speaking and I raised an eyebrow at her.

“Two years?”I asked again to be sure of the revelation and Olivia nodded. I felt my body tense up. The air in the restaurant felt suffocating to me and breathing felt hard.

“I’m sure you already witnessed some of the symptoms accompanied with the disease and when we noticed this too we dragged her to the hospital and that’s when she was diagnosed with stage 3 brain tumor,” Olivia says and my gaze darkens.

“Stage 3 cancer?”I asked with a trembling voice and I felt my world stop.

My wife had a stage 3 brain tumor and my husband just got knowledge of it.

Who am I to say this to?

What level of betrayal is this, I thought and my eyes got teary thinking about it.

“So you mean she is that sick and I’m just getting knowledge of it?”I asked them in a dangerous voice and they shiver in fear because of the aura that I’m emanating but at that moment I didn’t care.

“It’s… actually… not… she wanted to keep it to herself, “Olivia says trying to palate my anger but I wasn’t having it.

“My wife is sick and you guys are just telling me about it, “I asked, slamming my fist on the table. I saw them clflinched in fear and I tried calming myself down but Victoria’s voice cut into my thoughts.

“Don’t you think you are overreacting Mr. Hale?” she says and I raised her eyebrow at her.

“You and Georgina are married but you don’t even know a bit of information about her but you called yourself her husband” she continued and for the first time, I saw Victoria emotional because I saw her eyes get teary but she pushed back her tears.

“She was a lonely girl, she had no one, she only had herself to fend for her, she was maltreated because of her origin but…..”Victoria says, choking on her words but she continues.

“You know what that girl never shed a tear, she is always strong ready to fight, and never back down but on that very day I saw her break down in tears, I saw her facade break off she saw the little suffering girl behind that mask, I saw the girl that the whole world doesn’t know of, “Victoria says and she wiped her face clean of the tears that were falling on their own.

“Georgina has had it hard so when she was diagnosed with the tumor we were quick to opt for surgery but….” she was saying but my phone buzzed up and I picked it up to see that an unknown number was calling me.

“Hello sir this is Kira” the voice greeted panickedly and I felt a dreadful feeling about it.

“What’s it?”I asked.

“GG … is… missing”I heard her breaking voice and my heart skips a bit.

**********************************************

I stretched my body lazily and I felt myself lying on a soft bed.

Bed? Should I not be on set, I thought and I pry my eyes open immediately and when I looked around the room it clicked that I’m actually not in my room and I stood up abruptly not understanding what was going on.

I tried to remember why I ended up in the room but I found my memory foggy so, I gave up on remembering.

Why was it getting hard day by day?

I tried to study my surroundings and I noticed I was in a room painted white and it was spacious enough to hold a ball and I wondered why a bedroom would be this spacious.

Are they going to stuff so many people in?

“I’m being kidnapped ?”I asked no one in particular because that was the possible explanation for it no one would be and I got scared about the possibility.

“That’s not the problem here Gina you have to get out of here, “I say running towards the door I sighted but I heard someone’s footsteps behind it so I stopped.

I looked around the room to look for anything that I could use as a weapon and I saw none so I made a stand to hit anyone that was coming in so that I could escape.

The door creaks open and I immediately make a move to hit the person but the face of the person I saw shocked me.

“James?” I called, not believing my own eyes.
