THE BILLIONAIRE'S DESIRE CHAPTER 70
“Am I interrupting anything interesting? This place looks quiet. Why do I have a feeling that you all suddenly stopped talking because I walked in? Are you all discussing me? I might just walk away if my presence is making you all uncomfortable.” Kelly asked with seriousness. The sudden silence in the room worries him so much. He could have sworn that he heard some voices when he was still outside. “Kelly, please stop. Stop drawing unnecessary conclusions. It doesn't even make sense to me. This has nothing to do with you. Why do you think everything is always about you, huh? The least you could have done was to ask. This is not the way to go about this.” George fumed at Kelly. Not even the news of Dexter's arrest made him react that way. He poured out his frustration at Kelly as he was the one who got Dexter arrested. "Okay. I guess it's not about me after all. At least, I know I am safe,' Kelly sighed.Another awkward glance from George fueled another suspicion.“What? Stop starin

“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

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

"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

“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

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

“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

“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

“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,
