“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

    “I am not going to ask you this question for the second time, Ciara. You have stepped on my toes a thousand times. You might not get lucky this time. What In heaven's name are you doing here? I don't recall inviting you over. I thought you already left?” George was furious at Ciara. He was yet to understand why she had to return. “Before you condemn me to death, can I at least be seated? I know you don't want to see me again, but trust me, I am not gonna waste your time. I will just head straight to the point without mincing words?” Ciara assured. She was quite emotional and well-articulated in her approach. George saw her in a different kind of mood that hadn't been witnessed before.George breathed heavily. He couldn't scream further due to his heart complication, hence the reason he permitted Ciara to sit down. “You are allowed to sit and discuss it, but make it quick. I don't have the luxury of time to go through this road with you again. And If you are here to insult me again

    “Fine! You don't need to keep begging me. I have accepted your apology. Let's get back inside the house. This will be your last chance ever. If you ever try this shit with me next time, I will be out of your life for good,” Anita finally accepted. It didn't take her time to think about her decision-making. She knew what her choice was, but decided to act tough to avoid being labeled as some cheap whore.As they were about to leave, Kelly pulled Dexter back. “I can't believe you're just going to walk away from me like that. Did it occur to you that I am still here? Aren't you interested in finding out what happened to your father? A while ago, you were so anxious until some whore showed up and ruined everything,” “Excuse me?” Anita retaliated. “Did you just call me a whore? Or was I hallucinating? How dare you?” “I don't recall mentioning anyone's name. But if you feel the cap fits you, then you can wear it,” Kelly gave a cold response. He looked elsewhere to pretend as though he nev

    “Wait, don't kick him out yet. I still have an unfinished business with him.” Dexter intercepted his father's decision-making. “What do you mean I shouldn't kick him out? Do you realize that I am doing this for you? You should be grateful to me, rather than acting this way,” George sparked outrageously at Dexter. “What have I done wrong to deserve this treatment from you? Why do you have to blame me on fucking time as though I am not your son? Did you get anything against me? Say it and stop beating around the bush.” Dexter fired back at George with a hint of confusion. All he wanted to do was to ask questions that would satisfy his curiosity. He never knew he was getting himself in bigger trouble. Seeing the heated argument between Dexter and George, Kelly beamed with a smile. He knew that it was just a matter of time before all the attention was being driven away from him. He was already making plans to sneak out without anyone's knowledge. Pointing at Kelly, George Said. “Thi

    Dexter arrived outside his father's ward with high hopes and aspirations. This time, he was confident enough that no one was going to kick him out due to Doctor Escobar's massive presence. He hasn't recovered from the manner Kelly treated him in the early hours of the day. “Hold on a second, Doctor. I have one problem, and I want us to sort it out right now. Before we go inside, could you be kind enough to please promise me that you are not going to tell my Father that I spoke against his friend, Kelly? I would rather not ruin their friendship that has stood strong for decades,” Dexter pleaded with the utmost sincerity. It's rather weird to see Dexter looking so pitiful. Coming from someone who doesn't give a fuck about anyone. “You must be dreaming if you think I'm going to respond to you on that aspect. Do you think I'm here to joke with you or waste my time? I've got important issues to do with my time. Rather, I chose to sacrifice my time with you. Is this how you going to repay

    “Your daughter kind of brought back old memories from the past that I've forgotten about. I can't tell how she found out about it,” George divulged without mincing words. In the process of trying to make a point, he kept messing with Kelly's head as though it was nobody's business. "You keep speaking in some languages I don't even understand. What memories are you talking about? If you are not going to tell me about it, then so be it. I would appreciate it if you stop putting me in suspense,” Kelly bemoaned. From his facial expressions, it was damn obvious that he was getting tired of the conversation. He was just seeking the perfect excuse to walk away. He stood up, wanting to leave, when George pulled him back. “I am sorry. Please be seated. The truth is, I don't even know how to go about it without having to sound rude,”“Who cares about you being rude to me? Do you realize how long we've been friends? Do I need to remind you of that? Just get on with it immediately. I don't ha

    Dexter couldn't go home after the huge embarrassment he received from Kelly. He still lingered around the hospital, hoping that Doctor Escobar would step outside so he could have a deep conversation with him. It was quite unlike Dexter. Gone were the days when Dexter usually walked out after any embarrassing situation. But this day, surprisingly, Dexter decided that he would stay back until he was allowed to speak with George, his Father.“Now I know what it feels like to be kicked away like a nobody. I did the same thing to Derek last night even when I shouldn't have. I guess he's feeling the same way right now,” Dexter said to himself as he regretted his actions towards Derek the previous night when Derek requested to speak with George. He had no idea that the same fate awaited him ahead. At that point, Dexter was tempted to apologize to Derek immediately.“Perhaps, I should go back home and end this torment. How long do I have to keep waiting to be granted access to my father's w

    “I would definitely if Doctor Escobar comes knocking. There's absolutelyould leave him outside and you k, now that” Kelly ex, plained, trying to justify his reasons for shutting the door. Despite the departure of Dexter, Kelly still wasn't satisfied. Fear was written over his face. He had a bad feeling that Dexter might be hiding somewhere, waiting for someone to open the door before showing up unannounced.“Kelly? Can you please come forward? I want to have a word with you,” George called out in fatigue and went into a silent me. He completely lost his voice and strength to yell at Kelly. George recently underwent a serious heart operation the previous night. It may take a while before he returns to winning ways again. For that reason, he's trying his best not to get into a heated argument with anyone and that's precisely what Kelly is doing to him.“I sincerely don't want to engage in a heated argument with you. You know about my condition, don't you? Why are you making life dif

    "What are you still doing here? You are the last person I expected to see at that hospital,” Kelly asked Dexter who was spotted at the reception with his head facing the ground. Dexter didn't say a word. It was difficult for Kelly to tell if Dexter ignored him or if the latter was just sleeping.“Hey, I am talking to you. Aren't you listening to me right now? Or do I have to repeat myself before you understand what I am talking about?” Kelly tapped Dexter on the shoulder to get the latter's attention.Lifting his head, Dexter mumbled in pain. “What do you want from me this time? Why can't you just let me have a moment of peace? Isn't it obvious that I don't want to speak to you or anyone right now? I just want to be left alone.”Dexter's eyes were reddish like a tomato. He sounded too calm, which was enough reason that he was sleeping and not ignoring Kelly. “I thought you went home last night? I had no idea you were still around the hospital. And why didn't you sleep inside your

    It was yet another morning at the Victoria Memorial Hospital, Houston, Texas, where George was admitted after he survived a severe heart attack in his office. Luckily for him, doctor Escobar has been doing an impressive job so far, helping George restore his heartbeat to a normal breathing rate again.Ciara was home alone, reminiscing about the embarrassment she went through at the hands of her father the previous night at the hospital. The event keeps playing in her head like a song. Despite not getting enough sleep for the night, she was still up in her bed, glaring at the ceiling fan with seriousness. She spent more time communicating with the ceiling as though someone was there to respond to her.“What exactly is going on in my life? Why is it so messed up? Did I do anything wrong? I missed my old self. My Father wasn't like this before. I can't tell what went wrong." Ciara asked herself. It was a question she had no answers to. That was the moment Ciara wished she had a friend

    “I should be asking you that question. You stole my lines. What the heck are you doing here? You aren't supposed to be here, and you know that. Did Father know you are here? Because if he does, he will kick you out.” The person returned the question to Dexter. Kelly and Ciara watched in the utmost confusion as Dexter battled words with this stranger. They were yet to understand what was going on. They couldn't even identify who the person was and what he wanted. They were unable to bring themselves to ask questions due to how fierce the situation had become. “Okay hold. You all messing with my head. I promised myself not to ask but hey, I just gotta do this for my sanity. Who the hell is this person? And why do you two share this striking resemblance? Is there something I am missing already?” Kelly finally got the balls to ask. The question has been on his mind for a long time that he can't even ignore.“No need for the confusion, sir. I'm Derek, Mr. George's first sonI go

    “Why is no one speaking to me? What exactly is going on here?” Kelly screamed in a loud voice as no one said a word to him. Not even Ciara, who was his biological daughter. Like a dumb person, she sealed her lips despite the nasty thing Dexter did to her.“Since your daughter is afraid to speak, I guess I will just say it,” Dexter finally agreed to speak. It paused as if Kelly was following up with the conversation.“Okay. Go on. Hit the nail on the head and don't keep me waiting for too long.” Kelly consented with a nod, while Ciara hissed. She was yet to understand what Dexter wanted to speak about. The last she checked, Dexter was the one who pulled the expensive prank on her. The Dexter she knows would rather die than sell himself out like a piece of trash.“Hold on a second, Dexter. I need to get this straight. What do you want to talk about? Because I'm yet to see anything that happened between us.” Ciara halted Dexter as he was about to speak. Unanswered questions were bothe
