THE BILLIONAIRE'S DESIRE CHAPTER 90
“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

“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,”

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

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

“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

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

“George, can you just listen to your son? Why aren't you saying anything about it?” Doctor Escobar asked George for some support. Sadly for him, it looked like George was ready to take sides with Derek. The look on George's face says it all. He might not have uttered a word, but he managed to send a message across that Doctor Escobar understood perfectly fine. He needed no one to explain further.“What a show of disgrace. Just when I thought you'd be different from your brother. You turned out worse,” Escobar hissed and walked away.Derek wasn't bothered by the gesture towards him. He would rather focus on the issue that brought him to the hospital.“Derek, that was rude. After this conversation, you need to apologize to the Doctor. I didn't raise you to be that rude,” George demanded and Derek obeyed without any argument. Even on his sick bed, he still has some sort of authority over Derek. “I just found out about Dexter's arrest from one of the nurses. Why haven't you done anythi

It didn't take too long for Doctor Escobar's phone to beep. He checked his phone and confirmed he had received the address. “You can leave. I will take it up from here. Just pray that he is granted bail. Otherwise, consider your job gone without salary. Remember, the month ends in a couple of days," Escobar spared Elisabeth and dismissed her. Although it did sound like a threat, Nurse Elizabeth wasn't bothered. She was more than pleased, knowing that her job was safe meanwhile. “I saw you walk into the doctor's office. What did he discuss with you? I do hope it's not what I am thinking already?” Olivia asked nurse Elizabeth. She was outside, waiting for Elizabeth to show up and feed her ears. “You again? Olivia, why are you stalking me? Haven't you done enough already?” Elizabeth fumed. She wished it would have been a different person who stopped her and not Olivia who announced Dexter's arrest to everyone.“Are you still mad at me? Come on, I am sorry for what happened between

“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,
