Thaddeus Bradley Novels & Stories

Because I run all of my father's illegal businesses, as hard as it may be to believe, this is not the life I had planned for myself.

That's just wishful thinking. Thought he was just like that Eliot? Bradley got to where he was by being in both the legal and illegal worlds. He came here before Houston even existed.

I took over but he was embittered. Brad left, don't know where he vanished to but when he came back, he came back for war. Ten times he has escape death, ten times he never stopped trying to kick me off my pedestal. All Brad wants is to make me feel pain, to end me but make me suffer first.

Bradley's sudden reaction left Zachary stunned for a moment, but he quickly chuckled. "Felix? He was just a friend of mine." Before he could finish, Bradley's sharp gaze locked onto him, and his tone became sterner. "Tell me the truth. Is he really just a friend, or are you trying to dig up information about Felix?" How could Bradley not know his nephew's character? Zachary was notorious for stirring up trouble. As the commander of the Phoenix Legion, Bradley had dealt with all sorts of cunning individuals.

Today had not started out the way that I planned at all. “Need a hand?” I turned around and saw Thad leaning against the lockers, grinning at me. I had not seen him all summer, and he was definitely a sight for sore eyes. He was 6’0 with muscles and a body that was ripped from years of playing sports and working out. His sport of choice had been football for the past three years, and he was the star player and best damn Quarterback around. It was because of him that our team won their games.

It was evident that the Patton family’s bodyguards were either off duty at this time or hidden away in some unseen corner. Thaddeus flicked the ash from his cigarette, giving off the vibe of someone who no longer cared about his dignity. "Hey there, Bro. Are you off work?" Thaddeus said to Xander.

Thaddeus had responded so amicably, so it was clear that Xander's mocking words had no effect on him.

she queried, wondering what this other friend was like and if he was just as different from Jared as Angelo was, and yet somehow alike. "Thad Worthington. Rich-as-hell real estate tycoon along with his father. Smart, too." The respect Jared had for this mysterious Thad was obvious. "So you, Angelo, and Thad?" She smiled, thinking of Layla, hoping that she would be close to Layla in the coming years after they'd graduated.

"Bradley faked his death, built a clean identity. And has been running this operation from behind it." The room was completely silent. Stella stared at the screen. "Damien doesn't know," she said slowly. "He genuinely grieves his father. He has no idea Conrad is" She stopped. "Oh God. Conrad has been using Damien. His own son is the public face of his operation so Bradley himself stays invisible." "How long has Damien been in contact with Conrad?" Sarah asked. "Since 2011, a year after Emily won the championship." "Bradley approached his own son one year after losing you on the track," Nathan said to me. "Recruited him. Pointed him at you. And let Damien believe it was his own crusade."
