THE BILLIONAIRE'S DESIRE Chapter 11
It's been over ten minutes since Ciara questioned her father's loyalty to George Cooper, and he hasn't uttered a word in his defense. He spent the last couple of minutes looking at the ground like a lost hen. The question hit him hard, making it difficult for him to recover. Ciara was scared. She felt guilty for putting her father In such a complicated situation. All she ever wanted to do was clarify the question that had been bothering her for a while. It all started when Kelly returned home with a huge amount of money. When Ciara asked him about it, Kelly claimed that his long-lost best friend, George Cooper, gave it to him. In Ciara's words; "Your friend gave you the money for no reason? This is hard for me to believe. I think there must be a reason for this. Is he so wealthy that he now goes about sharing money with anyone he comes in contact with? I wonder how he acquired his wealth. Since that moment, Ciara's mind had been restless. On several occasions, she took her time t

“So what did you do? You accepted a crazy offer, didn't you?” Ciara asked nicely. “I guess you know the answer to that question. It's apparent,” Kelly replied harshly. He was too scared to admit. “It doesn't just add up. I thought you said he's the reason you had an education. Why do you keep confusing me? Let me guess, I want to assume that is the reason you don't have a job. He's the reason our life is miserable. He's the reason mom had to die because we couldn't afford to pay for her medical bills?” Ciara assumed. She had already judged George from the inside, regardless of what her father thought. “You know that's not true, George is innocent in all of this. If there's anyone to blame for how my life turned out, it's me because I accepted his offer without being pressured. I had no gun pointed at my head neither was I kidnapped,”Kelly justified his actions without being concerned about what Ciara felt about his decision. “Unbelievable! I can't believe you're defending Ge

“What did your friend say to you over the phone? The conversation wasn't on speaker, which made it difficult for me to hear him. Did he say he was coming with your son already? Please, I need to know,” Doctor Escobar asked George in the ward. He was standing next to George as he witnessed everything that happened. George was shocked to the bone. He kept staring at his phone and wondered why Kelly had to end the phone in such a disrespectful manner. “That son of a bitch ended the call. What the fuck was he thinking? I don't want to believe he's messing with my head.” “Mr. Cooper, we're running out of time. I just asked you a question, and you haven't responded yet. What did your friend say to you? Should we expect him in the next few minutes?” Escobar raised another question that was left unresponsive. That was the attitude that pushed his button and made him lose his cool. “You know, I do hate it when someone gives me a silent treatment and that's precisely what you are doing. Yo

“Lying to you? Why would I even do that? You should know me better than that. Don't you trust me already?” Kelly frowned. He tried to play the victim card. He had no idea that George was already two steps ahead of him.“I see what you're doing. But trust me, I am not falling for it. I didn't call just to argue with you. I called to find out if you have arrived at my mansion yet. The doctor is on my neck. And why is it so difficult for you to show up with Dexter?” George spoke for the second time in a different tone of voice just to make Kelly understand that he wasn't kidding around. “I am sorry about the doctor. Try to buy yourself more time while I sort this out over where. You want to know the truth, don't you? Yes, I am currently in your home. I just arrived. I am waiting for someone to come open the door and let me in. Are you happy now?” Kelly answered. “Now that's what I am talking about. You should tell me about this before. You made me understand that you've arrived, a

“What exactly do you want from me, Ciara? You seem so desperate. Haven't you done enough damage already?” George finally spoke, but with a faint tone all thanks to the immense pressure from Ciara. He was sick and tired of hiding his frustration. Not only was Ciara able to successfully mount the immense pressure on George, but she also weakened his soul to the lowest and made him less of a man. “I want you to stay far away from my family as soon as possible. What the heck am I saying? I want that to take effect immediately. And of course, that includes my father because he's the reason I'm having this conversation with you. I would rather not see you talking to him ever again, and am I not even kidding about it,” she warned George. “Stay away from your father? Are you kidding me? The truth is, what you don't know is bigger than you. A little advice for you, little one; back off the damn case if you don't know anything about it.” George laughed until he started coughing and shedding

“Why me?Why do I get to answer that question?”Ciara frowned.“Because he's your father and you both went outside together. How else do you want me to explain that to you?” Escobar fumed. He was already upset at George for playing with his intelligence. Now Ciara is about doing the same thing. Rather than responding to the question that was asked, Ciara looked at George. The awkward glance meant a lot, and George could see that. At that point, the future of George's health status dwells on Ciara's shoulders. Doctor Escobar watched In the utmost confusion. He was the only one who could barely understand what was happening. “You heard the doctor, didn't you? Go ahead and answer the damn question. And please stop staring at me like that. It's partially strange, seeing you do that,” George consented bizarrely, despite knowing how powerful Ciara's response was. She chuckled. “Do you want to speak the truth and nothing else? That I can do without a second thought,”“Proceed!. Why sp

“And you expect me to believe that crap? Come on, Dad. You should know me too well. I am not a kid anymore. I have outgrown that phase where little things can easily deceive me. To set the record straight, it's quite easier for me to sense when you are upset over the phone,” Derek said, as he doubted George's explanation. His level of intelligence is so high and George is quite aware of that. “Derek, not now please,” George called out in frustration. He knew the kind of son he had, he opted to prove stubborn.His obstinacy couldn't save him anymore due to Derek's resilience.The only option George had was to confess what happened just to Derek to take the pressure off his shoulders. “Get on with it, Dad. You're wasting too much time by playing mind games with me isn't going to solve anything. You know me too well. You know I am not going to let it slide for anything in this world,” Derek giggled. He had fun penetrating his father. “You are not far from the truth, Derek. I am curr

“What if Kelly calls back to send more information to me? He's not gonna reach out to me if my phone is off,” George thought. He also considered the possibility of Derek not calling back. After a thorough deliberation, he finally came up with the conclusion. “I think I'm just going to turn off the phone. There's no way Derek is gonna reach out to me again. It's been ten minutes since I ended the call. He's a busy type. There's no way he would want to waste his time calling me for too long,” George finally turned off his phone.Like a patient dog, he waited and stared at his phone. He hoped that Derek would never call back.Somehow, George's wishes came to pass. Derek didn't call, and neither did he text. It was a sign for George that he was free from Derek's troubles. Unfortunately for George, his happiness was short-lived when a familiar face returned to the ward, forcing him into action. His blood pressure Increased drastically to what he never expected. He wished the ground w

"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. Romeo's attit

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
