THE BILLIONAIRE'S DESIRE CHAPTER 54
“Bring it on, Dexter the puppet. I want to see your best shot. Show me the stuff you made off. You won't even dare do anything nasty to me.” Elizabeth dared Dexter. She saw the movement of his punch preparing to land on her face, and she wasn't bothered. Nurse Elizabeth got so much closer to Dexter as though she wanted to spit on his face. At that point, Olivia lost her temper and patience. She couldn't endure watching them hurl abusive words at each other. She was also worried about Elizabeth's safety. From the way Olivia saw Dexter preparing his punch, it was only a matter of time before he smashed her head against the wall. “Hello, Sir. Please ignore anything she says to you. I am pretty sure she doesn't know what she's doing. This is a reputable hospital. I can assure you that we, the nurses, are the nicest people you would ever come across.” Olivia pleaded on Elizabeth's behalf. Despite the approach from Olivia wasn't bothered. It wasn't enough to change her mind. Rathe

“Can you please plead with Nurse Elizabeth not to press charges against me? Because I'm pretty sure that's the next thing on her mind right now. Regardless of what might have happened between the two of you, she's still your friend and colleague. I believe she will listen to you.” Dexter pleaded. It was strange to see him act that way. This is coming from someone who nearly brought down the roof of the hospital with his excess pressure. “I should plead on your behalf? Are you even paying attention to yourself? Now that's the shit I'm referring to? A little self-consciousness would have avoided this. Sorry, there's nothing I can do about this. You brought it upon yourself. You should find a way to fix it,” Olivia spoke without mincing words. She didn't give Dexter the slightest hope that she was going to help him. In the process of pleading for forgiveness, two men dressed like police showed up in the hospital. Seeing them approaching, Dexter suddenly became cold and nearly peed In

“I need to speak with my lawyer.It's time-sensitive that I do that. Can you please take the cuffs off me,” Dexter requested as the cops drove him to the station like a criminal. No one paid attention to him. The other cops stayed mute as though Dexter never existed. Not even Officer Lucas, who was seated next to Dexter, could utter a word. “Can someone please say something to me? Please, I need to speak with my lawyer. Perhaps, my Father. He has to know my whereabouts. How long will you all continue to keep me silent? This isn't fair.” Dexter cried. He had finally decided to call his Father even though it may be impossible for George to come through for him through this difficult time. After ignoring him for too long, Officer Lucas finally uttered. “Sorry, sir. You aren't permitted to do that right now. It's against the law. Unless we decide that, you are not allowed to speak to anyone. I wouldn't want us to argue on this. Are we clear now?”Officer Lucas ended up breaking Dext

“Of course I do. He is Dexter Cooper.He dares not deny it,” Romeo, the cops reported.“Did you hear what he said?” Officer Lucas called Dexter who was trying to sneak away from the scene. Deep down, he knew that he was guilty already.“Yes, I do know him,”Dexter confessed. He couldn't deny it because he knew his secret had been exposed already.“Romeo, where do you know him from? I doubt if he would be ready to speak up. I can see that guilt has eaten the best part of him,” Officer Lucas inquired. He was no longer in a haste to send Lucas to the cell. He had a feeling that Dexter might have committed another crime only Romeo knew about.“He was previously arrested in this station. Fortunately for him, his rich Dad was able to come to his rescue and grant him bail,” Romeo addressed. He added more information to paint Dexter as the bad guy.Dexter couldn't argue. He was just hoping that the situation won't get messier than it already seems Upon hearing from Romeo, Officer Lucas sm

"I sincerely apologize for barging Inside the ward like that. I should have knocked first before thinking of coming inside. This is a bad time to be here, I guess," Nurse Olivia freaked out like a toddler. She saw death and life flashed right across her face. For a moment, she thought she was never gonna survive the last few seconds inside the ward. Her forehead was sweaty despite the air-conditioner being turned onThe terrifying look from Doctor Escobar further complicated Olivia's situation. That was the moment she wished she possessed some supernatural powers. Perhaps she would have vanished into thin air and saved herself from the impending torture that awaits her. It would have been better if it was just George in the ward. With the presence of Doctor Escobar, speaking up might be a major concern for Olivia A few minutes have passed, and no one has said a word yet. Not even Doctor Escobar, Kelly, or George. They all waited for her to speak up first. They knew that she would

As Kelly was about to step outside to return the missed calls, George called him back. "Hold on a sec. Before you leave, I have a question for you. I demand an honest answer because I know you too well. You might wanna beat around the bush. Have you spoken to Ciara since she left last night?""Really? This was the question you wanted to ask me. And you made me wait? Are we gonna do this now? Where's that coming from?" Kelly dodged the question. He was infuriated that George had to ask such a question in the presence of everyone. Kelly would have preferred if the question was asked when the two of them were alone. "Just answer the damn question. I see no reason you are getting yourself worked up. It's not, really, no big deal. A yes or no would do,"George spoke again. Not even Kelly's refusal to speak would stop him from trying to satisfy his curiosity."Sorry to disappoint you, I can't answer that." Kelly hissed and walked away without providing the answers that George seek"Oops.

“Hi, Ciara. I missed your calls. How are you doing over there? Have you had dinner already? What do you wanna talk to me about?” Kelly asked Ciara over the phone. He was already having divided attention and could barely concentrate on the telephone conversation. He might be having a conversation with Ciara, but his soul was inside the ward. He was eager to find out what nurse Olivia wanted to discuss. To Kelly, it was more important than speaking with Ciara over the phone. “Dad, are you doing great over there? Who's there with you? Are you still in the hospital?” Ciara asked relentlessly over the phone after she observed how restless Kelly sounded. That wasn't what the Father knew. He spoke as though he had a gun pointed toward his head, forcing him to speak. “What do you mean if I was doing great? How can you ask me such a question? Of course, I am doing great. Don't I sound perfect to you? How else do you want me to speak to you?” Kelly lied. He feigned a baritone voice to pr

"Dad, it's Derek Cooper. Your friend's son. Remember him now? You, too, had a conversation in the hospital last night. He was even the one that introduced himself to you as a Cooper until his elder brother, Dexter kicked him out of the hospital,” Ciara finally made the shocking revelation after beating around the bush for a long time. “Derek, did what? What did I just hear? Holy Moly! You have got to be kidding me right now.” Kelly screamed his lungs out until his eyes suddenly turned red as though he wanted to cry. His scream caught the attention of other nurses who directed their gaze at him. Taking the phone off his ear, Kelly smiled at the nurses and told them. “Sorry about that. I was having a telephone conversation,” Kelly further took a few steps away from the nurses to concentrate on the telephone conversation. He was also trying to evade any impending questions. “Dad, are you there? Who were you talking to over the phone?” Ciara asked her Father. For a second, she t

"You evil Bitch! How dare you lie to me? You made me believe that you had the phone. What the fuck were you thinking?" Romeo sparked outrageously. He lifted his hands and was about to hit Rhoda when Lucas quickly intervened and pulled him away."What has come over you, Romeo? Were you seriously gonna hit her? This was the same crime that got Dexter arrested. Do you intend to be locked up, too?" Lucas flared. Rhoda was already panicking. She was becoming uncomfortable inside the office. She hasn't witnessed Romeo reacting that way before. "I am sorry, Boss. But it was all her fault. Didn't you see what she did? She practically lied to me. Why did she have to do that?" Romeo continued to rant. He was uncontrollable. He still had his eyes on Rhoda. The only reason he hadn't punched her in the face was because of Lucas, who wouldn't let him. "Why are you acting like a dog? I can't recall admitting that I had the phone. You the one making false assumptions that aren't real," Rhoda f

“What are you scared of? I don't bite. Come on, take the envelope from me, and stop acting like a baby already. An officer like you shouldn't be fidgeting. Have you forgotten what I told you about being courageous? You never can tell, it might be your letter of promotion,” Lucas said. Romeo saw that as a trick and refused to fall for it. Without hesitation, he went to his knees immediately and pleaded for Lucas's forgiveness. “I am sorry for the things I did to you. None of them were intentional. I've learned my lessons now. Please, I don't want to end up like Tony. I deserve a second chance,”The dismissal of Tony still lives rent-free in Romeo's head like a movie. He wouldn't want his situation to be like that. “You don't want to end up like Tony, right? That's quite ambitious if you ask me,” Lucas scoffed.“I don't know what you are talking about. I can't recall what happened to Tony. Can you please remind me?” “You dismissed him because of Dexter Cooper, sir. Not just that, he

“He needs to reach out to his Father. His Father is not even aware that he's been arrested,” Romeo pleaded. He was ready to scrub both knees on the tiled floor just to prove how serious he was. “Now this is getting more serious than I expected. How much did Dexter pay you to do this for him? Because I mean, you can't go this for a total stranger you know nothing about,” Rhoda confronted Romeo with the disturbing question.“Excuse me?” Romeo fumed. “What do you take me for? Do you think I'm one of those hungry-looking cops out there who would sell their dignity for money?” “Perhaps, she might be right. No one knows the reason you are doing this,” A masculine voice interrupted them from close range.The voice sounded like Lucas. Where Romeo was, he prayed silently and wished it wasn't Lucas. Lucas, so far, has proved to be Romeo's greatest fear ever. He wasn't even confident enough to look into Lucas' eyes and speak to him directly, let alone confront him. “Good evening, Boss. You ar

“I am listening to you Romeo. Since you got here, you haven't said anything worthy of my attention. I just hope I am not wasting my time with you. Because I was doing something significant before you showed up,” Rhoda raised the concern. What Rhoda was concerned about was Romeo's lack of confidence. She didn't know him to be this shaky to the extent that he could barely speak fluently to save his life. “Of course not. I assure you, you're not gonna regret having this conversation with me, and I am not even kidding,” Romeo created the assurance. He paused afterward. Rhoda signaled him to speak further, but he missed the sign. Romeo made it seem like both placed a bet on the last person to hold his breath for too long. “What the fuck do you think you are doing? You've been quiet for some time now. I should have known that you were just wasting my time. What exactly do you want me to do for you? And I do hope it's something I can handle?” Rhoda asked for clarification. Rome

Dexter struggled to keep up with Romeo's tempo. At the same time, he struggled to breathe properly. He hasn't seen anything like that before. The taunting from Romeo got into Dexter's head. But what was he going to do about it? Absolutely nothing!He was willing to endure the present struggle and hope for a better tomorrow Dexter was quite aware of his numerous tortures in the hands of Jaguar and would rather not go back to that phase anymore. No one has ever inflicted so much pain on Dexter before since he was born. Not even his beloved Father or late mother.Jaguar treated Dexter as though Dexter were his biological son. It was an ugly experience for Dexter. He would give up an arm to forget about it. “Take a look at these bunch of keys.What do they mean to you? Do they ring a bell to you, or do you want me to spell it out so you would understand perfectly well what I am talking about?” Romeo asked, flashing the keys to the cell across Dexter's face. "They're the keys to yo

“Welcome to your new cell, Dexter Cooper. I hope you do like it here. What the heck am I saying? Surely, are going to love it. I mean, it's surely better than your Father's palatial mansion, isn't it?” Romeo teased Dexter with a burst of wicked laughter after they arrived at a new cell. Looking at it alone, Dexter hated it. He chose not to say a word about it to avoid getting on Romeo's nerves. It turns out that the former cell was more attractive and conducive than the new one Romeo brought Dexter to. The only difference there was Jaguar and his boys that made life a living hell for Dexter. Dexter spent lots of time scrutinizing in his new home. He was filled with regret and wished he hadn't wished for a transfer. But the thought of being beaten to death by Jaguar still scares him to death. “What are you going to say about this? You are taking too much time on something that isn't even worth that stress, and I don't like it. Are we going to spend the entire day talking about

"What do you expect me to do about this now? I still can't believe that you are seriously seeking my help. Everything is still a dream to me. Someone should please wake me up from the illusion before I go insane," Romeo said, slapping his chin to be certain he wasn't imagining things that weren't real. He still wasn't convinced about his decision yet. If Romeo was made to decide immediately without thinking about it, he would choose to walk away from the case just like every other cop. Not for once did Romeo like Dexter. These two have got a lot of history together. Thinking about the nastiest things that Dexter had done in the past is making Romeo have a second guess. "Please, take me to a new cell. I might end up dead once you leave. These guys threatened to torture me to death. Please come to my rescue. I don't wanna die," Dexter pleaded as hot tears rolled down his eyes. "You wanna be transferred to another cell? Now I see why you're being dealt with. What have you been smok

After spending the last few hours inside the cell, Dexter was already regretting his past actions. He wanted to call Officer Lucas and apologize immediately. This was the moment Dexter wished he had some superpowers. He wouldn't mind turning back the hands of time to avoid being arrested. That wasn't Dexter's first time getting arrested for doing something wrong, but somehow, the cell seemed different.He wasn't entitled to the privilege from his previous stint because his Father wasn't involved. Trust Officer Lucas to make life a living hell for Dexter. He secretly paid Dexter's cellmate to torture him to the point where he would wish for death instead."Are you ready to release the money to us now? Or do you want us to apply more pressure? Look around you, no one will come to your aid even if you decide to scream your lungs out. So, do the right thing now." A hefty-looking guy who goes by the name Jaguar threatened Dexter. He is also the leader of the other cellmates. Convicted

“Oh, please stop the hypocrisy attitude, Kelly. Stop acting like you and Dexter were on good terms before his arrest. He hated you with the whole of him. Here you are, ready to take a bullet for you. I doubt if he would be willing to do the same for you,” Doctor Escobar fired back at Kelly. He had no plans to indulge himself in the case until Kelly decided to become emotional. He had no choice but to react immediately. “Mr. Cooper, like I told you in the day, you will be discharged tomorrow. Please — try your best to avoid any trouble. I don't want you getting hurt. You should know what I'm talking about,” Doctor Escobar advised George. It might sound like a doctor's advice to a patient, but Kelly knows that Escobar was taking a jibe at him. “Thank you doctor I can't wait for tomorrow,” George smiled, shook hands with Doctor Escobar, and turned to the other sides of the bed. He tried his best to avoid any eye contact with Kelly, who had been there for him since he was hospitalize
