CHAPTER 111: A TRAP
GEORGINA’S POV
I sat on my bed looking outside the stormy night while I waited patiently for Bradley to come over. I know that might be the last time that I would be seeing him so I want to have his face at least engraved in my heart.
Maybe he has enough looks on his face before I leave so I might not end up forgetting about him.
The sound of the clock ticking filled the room and my anxiety grew with every passing minute like my life depended on it.
I knew my Aunt and Victoria would be here since our flight would be at midnight and that is the reason why I was planning to see Bradley before leaving.
While waiting for him my mind went back to our first encounter, the one that I had memories of.
I met him when I was experiencing a huge setback and injustice in my life but that man helped me, loved me, and also protected me. And that is one of the reasons I have to leave. I want to be someone that is not so pathetic though I do not know how to do that.
I heard an approaching step in the passageway and I immediately sat up thinking that it was Bradley and I dressed my hair while trying to be the best of my appearance but I was met with disappointment when I saw the face of someone who just cracked the door open.
“What are you up to?” Victoria asked, opening the door to the rooms. I sighed see
“Why is he not coming?” I asked Victoria and my Aunt that just entered the room and they sighed. They all knew what I was trying to do by asking Bradley to come to see me at the time they knew I was trying to say my goodbyes.
“I don’t think you can see him for now, Gina,” Victoria says and my eyes welled up with tears. “I know so maybe we can wait a little,” I say looking at Victoria but my Aunt opened the door to the room trying to remind us that we are going to miss our early morning flight if we do not take off now.
“Gina, I think we need to get going now,” Georgina’s Aunt says and Victoria holds my hands to urge me to move. “But Aunt I’m going to wait for Bradley for a while,” I say and my Aunt sighed.
“And what? You are not going to go again? So what about your plan? Don’t tell me your plan of getting better so you can be worthy of him is gone?” Victoria says and my mind can’t help but go back to the promise I made to myself.
Yes, Victoria was right, was I going to stop now when I already took the first step by agreeing to go with my Aunt even though I do not know how she was going to cater to a girl suffering from cancer?
“No, I am still going through with it,” I say with my voice croaky and Victoria nods her head. “But I am going to need your help,” I said and she told me to go ahead. “I need you to record a video of me,” I say smiling sadly.
BRADLEY’S POV
Afterward, I was able to pressure my cousin, Jayden, to lure Daniel out for me because it looks like the man has some connections which somehow made searching for him to be hard.
I do not know if a day like this could come. I was anxiously waiting for a man to come out and grace me with his presence.
I promised Georgina that I was going to go see her tonight at the hospital and that made me more anxious because it was already getting late and I feared she must have been sleeping.
“Damn!” I cursed and my voice jolted Douglas out of his sleep and he hissed in anger having been woken up from his sleep. “What are you doing man?” He asked in frustration but I did not bother answering him.
It was already bad that I was staying out here waiting for Daniel to come out of that darn building but it was like the man knew their plan was taking forever for him to come out.
“Did you think the game is taking longer than forever? Or did you think your cousin already betrayed us?” Douglas asked and my expression at the mention of that but I knew it was not far from what that curby Jayden would do.
His job was just to lure Daniel out but they had been waiting for some time and that only meant one thing. He had been playing.
“Too bad for him I was trying to give him another chance but it looks like I should not be lenient….. he loves the psychiatric home better,” I said picking up my phone and I instructed my men that were already on standby to attack the building.
I planned with my cousin to lure Daniel out thinking it would stick to the plan, maybe that would have earned him leniency but he proved he did not deserve the love so I was not going to give him any.
“Bang, bang!” The sound of gunshots filled the air while I sat comfortably in my car and Douglas turned around to sleep more. “God, I should not have come. This is such a boring show, I could not even see the main show,” Douglas says.
I smiled knowing Douglas was saying he was disappointed not being part of the fun but I was in a rush to care about being part of the fun.
After a while the gunshots sound died down and the door to the building was opened with my men dragging bloody Jayden with them and I stepped out of the car.
“Hi Daniel,” I looked at the man that was holding his stomach which I feared that my men must have shot him. “Did you think you are formidable?” I asked going over and I held his chin up so he could meet my gaze.Text © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.
“You played us back then and to have fooled me now too, how did you think to have fooled me twice?” I asked, remembering how the boy at that time was able to fool us while he was the son of the gang leader.
Daniel’s eyes were spitting venom looking at me and I just smiled. “You killed my father! Your father killed my father and I am not going to stop at anything until I ruin all your family. All!” Daniel yelled like a maniac but a wince of pain escaped his mouth.
“So you hate everyone from the Hale family not just me?” I asked rather amused and I noticed that Jayden was surprised to hear that.
Of course, he should be when his accomplice just exposed his undying hatred for everyone in his family, him included.
“Oh it’s the betrayal Cousin,” Douglas says getting out of the car looking bored and Jayden’s expression turns fearful seeing Douglas. He actually hates Douglas because of his brutal ways of handling things.
“Cousin, I am sorry I should have followed the plan…I should have….,” Jayden was saying but I cut him off by sending a punch at his chin.
“That makes me feel better,” I say and I signaled to my men that they should take care of them while I walked to my car but my steps halted with my phone ringing up.
I picked up my phone that had been blaring up with calls and I hissed seeing who was calling. “What is it, Frederick?” I was already frustrated that I was interrupted but Frederick’s next words stopped my actions.
“Hey Man, did you ask your wife to be transferred?” He asked and that question got me frozen for some moments. “What did you mean?” I asked and his next words got me to abandon everything and I rushed out of the place.
While rushing out of the place Frederick’s words kept ringing in my ears. “She left” was his words but I was not going to believe it because why would she do that?
