THE BILLIONAIRE'S DESIRE CHAPTER 73
"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

“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

"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

“Yes, Boss. Rhoda is right. I moved Dexter to another Cell just to keep him safe,” Romeo confessed. With the evidence against him, there was no need to play the hide-and-seek game anymore. He knew for a fact that Dexter's former cellmates would testify against him should Lucas attempt to investigate further. “Keeping him safe from what?” Lucas stood up in full force. That was the part of the confession that triggered his anger. “Does this place look like a kidnapper's Den to you? What makes you think we would want to hurt Dexter, huh? Start talking immediately,” Lucas raged. He brought out his gun and made it seem as though he wanted to shoot Romeo dead. “Sir, his cellmates wanted him dead. You needed to see the way they treated him like a piece of trash. According to Dexter, one of the cops paid the leader of the cellmates, Jaguar, to inflict severe torture on him,” Romeo spoke in his defense while he dropped a shocking allegation that may see everything turn out in his own def

It's been over fifteen minutes since Ciara arrived at the address that Walters described, and she hasn't entered the building. She kept calling for Walters to come outside so she could hand him over. Unfortunately for Ciara, he wasn't picking up his calls. It got to a point where his phone reportedly went off. This got Ciara worried and scared at the same time. She regretted ever accepting to return the clothes and wallet to Walters. She only did that just to stop Walters from showing up to her Father's house again like he did the last time. What hurt Ciara the most was the fact that she had to disobey her Father just to come see Walters. The thought of this alone made her not to give up. She was determined to stay back and wait for Walters to return. She wasn't bothered by how long he stayed. She wouldn't want her effort to be in vain.As Ciara waited for Walters, she had her eyes combing the entirety of the neighborhood to ensure that no one came to assault her. “I still don't k

“Oops, it looks like you weren't aware that Dexter was arrested. Damn! Why did I tell you? I should have kept it to myself,” Olivia facepalms. She thought Derek was aware of it. Now, she just got herself involved in bigger trouble because Doctor Escobar had warned them not to discuss Dexter's arrest with anyone. “I need to see the doctor or my Father this minute. I will address the arrest of Dexter after. But first, my Father is important. Lastly, don't be scared. I am not going to tell your Doctor that you told me about the arrest. It's nothing for you to worry about. I do understand how significant your job is, and I wouldn't want to jeopardize it,” Derek assured. He wasn't ready to kill two birds with one stone."That way, please. That's the road to the Doctor's officeAnd please — don't forget the promise you had made. You know what they said about promises, right?' Nurse Olivia gave up trying to argue with Derek. She was damn convinced that the argument wasn't going to yield

After spending ten minutes in the bathroom, Romeo stepped outside. At that time, he had already convinced himself that Nancy had gone for good. It was worse than a near-death experience for Romeo. He knew the wife he married and decided to act smart. He hadn't told her yet, and she was already acting like she would set the house ablaze. He can't imagine what will happen when he eventually does. “I just hope I can keep up with this lie for the next 6 months until I get my job back," Romeo prayed. He did a cross sign and went back to bed. The suspension at the station was somehow becoming a blessing in disguise for Romeo because he couldn't call the last time he had that long sleep. Let alone staying at home that long before. It wasn't too long when Romeo went to sleep, and he was already hearing some footsteps in his dream. He thought it was all a dream until he heard someone call his name. “Romeo!” The voice sounded like Nancy's. Instantly, Romeo tossed off the bed as fear grippe
THE BILLIONAIRE'S DESIRE CHAPTER 92
It was just the first day without a Job, and Romeo's life hasn't remained the same anymore. There's a part of him that's missing from inside that he just can't fathom. He would roll to both sides of the bed like a snake due to frustration. He couldn't even summon the courage to tell his wife about the devastating news. He was scared that his wife might react badly to the news or do something crazy. He intends to keep the news to himself for the longest time possible until he's done making Dexter get out of prison.“Honey, I am off to work. I would also drop the kids at school on my way to work. If you ever feel hungry, your food is in the dining room. Love you!” Nancy, Romeo's wife, informed him. She kissed his forehead afterward.26 years of age, light-skinned, curly hair, and curved. They've been married for 10 years and blessed with 3 beautiful kids. Nancy was never supporting Romeo's decision to become a cop. She was scared that he might get shot to death on duty. As a graduat

“Hold on a second! I hope It's not what I am thinking that's running through your mind right now?” She freaked out. “I don't know what you think I'm thinking. But whatever it is, who knows? It might be a beautiful thing. Don't you think so?” Derek winked at Ciara and winked seductively. “Then you must be the biggest dreamer on earth. I don't see that happening. Just so you know, your dad and my Dad had arranged for your Brother, Dexter and I to be married,” Like a rocket, Ciara launched the shocking news straight into Derek's heart.“What the heck?” Derek exclaimed in shock and pulled over Immediately. “What are you doing? Why did you have to pull over like that? Were you trying to get us killed?”“Have you agreed to get married to my brother?” Asked, Derek as he breathed heavily. He was lucky enough not to suffer a cardiac arrest. The news caught him aware. “Does it matter? I haven't arrived at my destination yet. Unless you want me to come down and start searching for a cab,”

“You again? What kind of man are you? What do you want from me? Don't you get tired of stalking me? It wasn't enough for you to show up in my house unannounced, now you want to get me killed? How cruel can you get? Do you want me to report you to the cops before you leave me the heck alone?” Ciara yelled at Derek with the loudest voice for almost knocking her down. She didn't even give him a breathing space to explain better. At every attempt to speak, she keeps shutting him down. “Can I at least explain myself better?You are already condemning me without a fair judgment. Even a criminal is entitled to a fair hearing at the court.” Derek pleaded like a pauper. “What do you have to say this time in defense? You certainly have no point. The truth remains that you almost got me killed. How else are you going to defend that? Perhaps, you want to justify the reason you almost got me killed. “ She yelled again. This time, even worse than the first time. The situation was attracting too

“What am I going to do about this now? My Father won't let me leave. He's not even treating me like this daughter anymore. What have I done for him to deserve this?” Bewildered, Ciara questioned herself. She sought a solution but couldn't get one. She was desperate to go get the keys from Kelly certainly. After seeing that little display by Kelly, Ciara was forced to retract. "He's just going to beat me to a pulp for the first time, and it's going to be one crazy hell of an experience,” Ciara thought. In the process of finding a way out, Ciara thought of something new. She quickly recalled hhow Derrek was able to escape through the back door without Kelly knowing about it.“Yes, the back door. That's precisely what I am going to use.Why didn't I think about this before? My Dad won't even notice anything. Let's see who's smarter now,” She giggled and praised herself for coming up with a solution almost immediately when it felt like all hope was lost. Ciara wasn't even bothere

“You wouldn't dare do something stupid, Ciara. Your mom and I didn't raise you to be this disrespectful towards me,”“Take my mom's name out of your fucking mouth, Dad. She wouldn't treat me this way if she was alive, and you know it. So don't try to defend your mediocrity,” Ciara clapped back immediately with full confidence. Ciara's confidence grew stronger as each day passed. Gone were the days when she could barely even look at Kelly's face and speak. “I don't care what you do or say. The reason you turned out this way is that your late mom spoiled you. But with me, it's not going to be possible. I will do everything possible to ensure you act right. Hand over the paper to me now. I am speaking to you as your Father. It's an order, and you must obey me,” Kelly roared like a wounded lion. Kelly attempted to snatch the phone from Ciara. Unfortunately for him, Ciara saw that coming and edged backward. She stood a few miles away from Kelly should he attempt to punch her in the f

It was a new day, promising new hopes and aspirations for Ciara and her Father after the previous night of Royal Rumble. With their chaos, they nearly brought down the entire building. The rays of the morning sun flickered into Ciara's room as she rubbed her blurry eyes. She had been awake since 5:30 AM despite going to bed late the previous night. She barely even slept for three hours before her problem woke her up. Ciara wasn't a coffee drinker, but she stayed awake the whole night, thinking about the unfortunate incident that occurred in her house. No matter how she tried to forget, it kept playing in her head. Like a glued the incident was stuck to her mind. The fact that Derrek forgot some of his clothes and wallet complicated it. Ciara had already assured Walters that she was going to help him get the wallet. Returning the wallet to Derrek wasn't Ciara's fault. Her major concern is avoiding the temptation from Derrek after failing the last time, which, of course, leads t
