“I've got a confession to make.

Don't take it personally,” Both of them spoke together.

It looked as though it were planned, but it wasn't. No one knew that the other one was going to say something. The words just came out of their mouths coincidentally.

“Dad, you go first, I will listen,” Ciara said as she hid the test result in her possession.

While Ciara planned to hide it away forever, she got caught in the process. She wasn't aware that Kelly had already seen it first.

He chose not to ask Ciara about the envelope because he thought it wasn't relevant. Seeing Ciara hide the envelope like contraband goods, he was more convinced to ask about it even if it meant causing a scene.

“What's behind you, Ciara?

And why are you even hiding it from me, your Father? Is it something I should be worried about?” Kelly stretches his hand forward to retrieve the brown even lope.

“What are you talking about, Dad? It's nothing for you to worry about. I wouldn't want us to spoil the fun momen

    “I stopped by the nearest hospital for some check-ups just to be sure that I was safe. Walters's sudden appearance at the house called for it. For someone who hasn't reached out to me In months, I figured that he might have a hidden agenda," Ciara explainedKelly was satisfied. He forced himself to believe that Ciara had touched all areas. But to Ciara, that wasn't a complete story. She omitted the part where she found out that Walters was homeless. He was not just homeless, but he also borrowed the outfit he visited her with. That alone might make Kelly do something he would regret for the rest of his life. “I see.” Kelly sighed.He didn't know what else to say. Ciara had forced him to exhaust his strength.“Dad, I apologize for disobeying you. I didn't know how Walters was able to deceive me into having sex with him. But trust me, there won't be a next time. It's a good thing to know that I am free from any sexually transmitted disease,” Ciara begged her Father. She sat on his l

    Derek finally arrived at the station after a 30-minute drive. Being his first time visiting that area, it became somewhat difficult for Derek to find the station. "It feels good to finally arrive. What a journey it has been. I never thought that such a station even existed in this region," Derek said as he pulled up to the parking lot of the station. "Stay calm and relaxed, Derek. Just go In there, do your thing, and fucking leave like a Boss. No need for any unnecessary drama. This isn't who you are. You're a mother fucking perfect gentleman," Derek said to him as he strives not to freak out in the presence of the cops. That was Derek's first time visiting the police station, unlike Dexter, who has been there a bunch of times. Aside from Derek's phobia for those kinda places, he was also skeptical since he had heard terrible things about the station. The horrible things he heard contributed to his hatred towards the armed forces and everything that they believed in. Eventually,

    "Sir, I don't think you have the slightest idea who's out there. Because if you do, you will swing into action immediately. Besides, I've tried all I could to get rid of him. Still, he has proven to be difficult," Rhoda cried. She hasn't witnessed anything like that before. Not even some murder cases she had sorted out in the past had stressed the fuck out of her the same way Derek did."Save your explanation. I already know who's out there giving you trouble. Isn't that Derek, the brother of the boy who assaulted Nurse Elizabeth? The same case that got Romeo suspended for months? But what I can't seem to fathom is why you decided to run to me like a coward." Lucas finally lifted his head to speak. His reason was that he wanted Rhoda to read in between the lines and watch his lips move into different positions. "Sir, you knew all along that it was Dexter's brother yet you didn't bother to step outside to my rescue? This is unbelievable!" Rhoda's mouth widened. The shocked look on h

    "Is this how I am gonna sit back and watch my daughter speak to me in that tone of voice? Never! I have to address that. I didn't raise her to be rude and disrespectful towards people older than her, let alone me. Something needs to be done about this immediately." Kelly Soliloquies after Ciara's departure. He also regrets his actions for letting Ciara walk away like that. It took Kelly's brain a couple of minutes to be restored. Without hesitation, he dashed to Ciara's room only to discover that the door had been shut from outside."I see what she did there. Ciara had the guts to shut the door against me in my house. Who does that? I will let her know that I'm still her Father. She can't keep treating me like a roommate," Kelly vowed as he landed a soft knock on the metallic door. The first knock on the door was to announce his presence. When Kelly saw that no one was responding, he decided to apply more pressure. With all of his strength combined, he banged on the door so hard t

    "I still don't know how long you are gonna pretend like your friend isn't causing this family so much damage. Ever since he came into your life, things have never been the same anymore. I hate to admit this to you, Dad. I am just gonna say it anyway. If you ever care about your family, cut ties with George immediately," "You want me to cut ties with my best friend? Is this a joke or are you meaning it?" Kelly forced a laughter that didn't come from his mind. Ciara didn't respond. All she did was grab her phone that was kept on the bed. She wasn't interested in discussing the situation anymore. It has become crystal clear to her that her Father would never reach a compromise with her regardless of his effort. "I thought you wanted this for us? You were the one that has been crying for a destiny helper. You wanted someone to rewrite the family's history of poverty. Fortunately for us, we found one. Rather than embracing the moment, you wanna ruin everything? Make this make sense t

    “Stay right here while I go get your brother. I understand that you can't wait to see him already.”Lucas told Derek after they arrived at a small room set aside for prisoners to receive their respective visitors.“Hold on a second, officer. I need to get something straight,” Derek stopped Lucas as he was about to leave. “What the fuck do you want from me again? Aren't you satisfied already? I thought I already agreed for you to see your brother?” Lucas fumed. Derek was getting on his nerves and he wasn't pleased about it.“Put your shit down, cop. If you continue acting like this, you might suffer a panic attack. I just want to be certain that you aren't playing games with me. Because if that's what you want to do, then be prepared to dance to the tune,” Derek warned Lucas.“Are you threatening me now? Are you aware that I could have You arrested for threatening an officer of the law?” Lucas fired back.“Who gives a fuck about what you do? I was only trying to make common sense. J

    “Hi, brother. Surprised to see me?” Derek smiled as he welcomed Dexter with open arms.Dexter left his mouth astonishingly widened in a fly-catching position.He never thought that someone would eventually come to bail him out, let alone his brother, who's considered his worst enemy. “I would understand if you don't want to speak to me. You never thought that I would show up, right?” Derek scoffed. “Please be seated. I didn't come for drama. Remember, we only got fifteen minutes left according to the female cop,” Derek reminded Dexter. “How's Dad doing? Has he been discharged from the hospital yet?” Dexter asked immediately after he sat down. Derek sighed and stood up. He faced the wall and returned to Dexter with a sad face. The look on Derek's face wasn't encouraging for Dexter. “Derek, where's Dad? And Why are you acting this way?” Dexter cried. He thought something bad had happened to his Father. “Is Father Dead?” Dexter tossed the question that had been on his lips for

    "What a twist. Who could have seen that coming? Absolutely no one. Look who's gonna be spending another night in detention. What a shame! Should I get you a roll of tissue, or will you be fine eventually?" Rhoda mocked Dexter shortly after Derek's departure. Rhoda was elated that she finally got her bragging rights again after the stress that Derek made her go through after he demanded to speak with Dexter. The act from Derek stunned Rhoda and left her asking questions that were never answered. It was something she never saw coming. Judging from the way Derek caused havoc, she thought he would grant Dexter's bail. Surprisingly, none of that happened. Instead, Derek made Dexter a ridiculous offer that might be difficult for him to comply with. "Just go I've had enough for the day already. Right now, I just wanna be left alone. Is that too much for that to happen?" Dexter requested, facing the ground. He was too ashamed to look Rhoda in the eyes after what happened recently. The

    “Do you enjoy wasting people's time, or it's a habit you just developed?” George snarled. He swore not to get himself involved in another heated moment with the cops anymore. Unfortunately, Rhoda pushed his button, forcing him to go against his will.“That's Officer Lucas. He's going to attend to you. He's responsible for this case,” Rhoda confessed just to roll the burden away from her heart. “You bitch! You had to find a way to force me into this mess. I am going to make you pay for what you just did.” Lucas threatened Rhoda. He was sending signals to Rhoda not to point at him, but she wasn't paying attention. Guilt and anxiety had taken over her soul. The only thing she was interested in was seeing Dexter and his Father leave. “I am sorry, Sir. I had no choice I was under immense pressure,” Rhoda apologized. Unfortunately, the apology was rejected immediately as Lucas continued to yell at her. “Keep your damn apology to yourself. I don't want to hear it. Why didn't you te

    Five minutes had gone past and Dexter was still chewing his nails, thinking of his decision. He feared making the worst decision that was most likely to ruin his life for good. As much as Dexter hated being locked up in the police station for too long and would do anything to buy his freedom, he still wasn't satisfied with his Father's decision. He wished his Father would reconsider his decision and have mercy on him. Getting married to Ciara wasn't what Dexter had envisaged in his lifetime, because they never liked each other from the onset. He never for once, found Ciara worthy enough to be his girlfriend, let alone his wife. He had a feeling that the marriage wouldn't even leave for a week before they finally got divorced. “You should know that being kept quiet is what I hate the most, Dexter. Yet, you keep doing it to me. Do you think I'm here to look at your ugly face? I've got other important stuff to worry about. Instead, I chose to come here and save your sorry ass.

    "My son? What the hell are you talking about, Kelly? I can't see anybody here. Please where's Dexter? Or have you started imagining things? Perhaps, we should have your head examined because it's obvious that you're losing it already," George taunted Kelly. But it was Dexter who felt it the most. Dexter felt humiliated by his Father's derogatory remarks about him. To Dexter, that was worse than being abandoned in the police custody. That was the moment he wished that his Father never agreed to show up. Because the presence of his Father makes no difference to him whatsoever. "Now this is getting serious, George.When did you suddenly become a comedian? Are you saying that you can't recognize your son anymore or what?" Kelly frowned. The whole thing was starting to look like a joke to him. He doesn't understand George anymore because that wasn't their initial plan. George stood up and pointed towards Dexter. "Kelly, take a good look at this man standing here. Does he have any s

    Rhoda hasn't rested since she escorted Dexter to see his Father. Rhoda wasn't with them in the visitor’s room but her heart won't stop beating faster. This was the only time she ever wished that Dexter would be granted bail by his father so she could be free from the pressure the coopers had heaped on her. As Rhoda mauled over her thoughts, Lucas walked past her unnoticed. He returned to her duty post when he noticed that Rhoda refused to acknowledge his presence. "Hey, Rhoda. How's it going with you?" Lucas waved at Rhoda to get her attention. He did that the second time, yet there was no response from Rhoda. Not even a blink of an eye. It appears that she was lost in profound thought judging from the way she placed her hands below her jawline. Fed up with seeking Rhoda's attention, Lucas slammed the desk In frustration to awaken her lost soul. "Good day, sir," Rhoda hurriedly greeted Lucas and did the salutation to welcome him. "How long have you been standing here, sir?"

    He threw the car keys to Romeo and pointed to a blue Lexus Rx car. "You see that over there? That's the one we are going with," "We are here now," Romeo announced. It was a twenty-minute drive. The shortest drive that George has ever had. "So fast?" George asked. He thought it was gonna be a long journey. "Yes, so fast. I could understand your reaction. It's because it's your first time," Romeo explained. Then he went ahead to narrate everything that needed to be known about the station. He laid more emphasis on Rhoda and Officer Lucas than anyone else. To him, those two were the real vampires of the station. "I've heard everything you said. We will be back in ten minutes," George told Romeo as they stepped outside. "Ten minutes? I seriously doubt that," Romeo laughed. He can't see how that will be achieved when Rhoda and Lucas are In the picture. "You took the car keys, didn't you?" Kelly reminded George. He has been harboring that question In his mind for a while now."O

    Kelly and George went back to Romeo with a different kind of mood that seemed a lot more encouraging. Most especially George, who almost kicked Romeo out of the house a while ago because he thought that Romeo was an imposter. “Are you both done with the private talk already? What was the conclusion? Do I need to stay or leave?” Romeo asked in anticipation. Romeo's heart was beating faster. He saw the smiles on Kelly's face, yet he wasn't convinced. The last time he checked, George was Dexter's Father and not Kelly. He still can't fathom how Kelly was putting in more energy in the case than George, who's the biological father of Dexter. Now he knows why no one has shown up to bail Dexter yet. “We have agreed to come with you to the station to see Dexter” George finally agreed. He had to glare at Kelly before responding. “That sounds like a great idea. I bet Dexter will be so happy to see you. He can't stop talking about you. However, we might have a slight problem,” Romeo frown

    “Are you seriously mocking me now? What do you mean he's gonna show up? Did he disclose that to you? Or you're the one making false assumptions just to please me?” George flared at Kelly.“Oh, here he comes,” Kelly called George's attention as he pointed at someone from a distance. “I told you he wasn't gone. You should have listened to me. I guess you owe me an apology now,” Kelly bragged. “You again? I thought you were gone?” George acted surprised. He pretends not to care about Romeo's return. But deep down, he cared the most. His ego was just preventing him from speaking the truth.“I never left. I had an urgent call that needed to be answered in private. Well, here I am now. Do I still need to prove myself to you?” Romeo explained. From the atmosphere around them, he was already feeling optimistic that George was going to let him in.“No worries, Do come in,” Kelly welcomed Romeo after waiting for George to speak. Considering how egocentric George was, Kelly was damn sure t

    “Yo! Dave. Can you please come take this empty glass away? And thank you for the drink. I appreciate you. I must say, you are quite nice. Don't stop doing good. It's only a matter of time before your reward comes,” Kelly said to Dave. He saw Dave passing by and decided to call him.Dave was stunned by Kelly's gesture. None of George's visitors has treated him in such a kind manner before. Not even Dexter, Derek, or George's business partners. “It is my pleasure to serve you, sir. Thank you for the advice. It means a lot to me,” Dave smiled and left with that tray.Kelly won't stop checking his wristwatch. He was getting fed up with George's constant delay.“What's George doing out there? I thought he promised not to stay too long.” Kelly's soliloquies as he waited for George to be done. He can't even see the face of the person that George was speaking with at the doorway.“What did you say your name was again?” George asked yet another question. It appears that he wasn't too pleas

    “Just forget about Derek. Welcome to my humble abode. Would you like me to get you something to drink?” George forced a smile to make Kelly forget about the issue. He proceeds to call Dave. “ Hey, Dave. Go get my friend a glass of red wine. Make it snappy. He is my best friend. I wouldn't want you to keep him waiting for too long,”“No, please wait. I don't need anything for now. I didn't come here to be entertained,” Kelly hurriedly stopped Dave just as the latter was about to leave. “Dave, you just heard from my friend. You can now head back to your duty post. Don't return until your name is heard,” George ordered as he dismissed Dave, leaving him alone with Kelly. “What took you so long to show up? I was worried that you were never going to make it here,” George asked Kelly as they both sat down after a handshake. Kelly nodded sideways in pity. He wasn't looking happy, and George could tell that it had nothing to do with Derek. “Kelly, what's the issue? It's your daughter,
