THE BILLIONAIRE'S DESIRE Chapter 17
“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

The presence of Ciara was becoming intimidating for George, the same as her horrible questions that forced George into a silent mode. “I thought you never wanted to marry my son for some reason best known to you? You made your intentions clear to your father. Good for you. I don't think my Son finds you fascinating, either. I saw how the both of you almost came to exchange blows inside my office. If it weren't for your father and me, one of you would have been hurt. Suddenly, you want to marry him? Why the sudden change of mind now? Did your father talk you into doing this? Or did you just think about it and feel it was the right choice to make?” George asked Ciara after being mute for a couple of minutes. The pressure from Ciara was enough to silence him for eternity. Fortunately for him, he was able to come out of it. “Nothing changed, sir George.Snap out of that illusion because it's not happening. I never admitted to you that I had accepted to get married to him, either. Yo

Amidst the drama, George's phone rang to create relief for him. It was a call from Derek, his second son. George hissed the moment Derek's name popped on his phone. He certainly needed someone to speak to, but not Derek. The last hectic telephone conversation they had, Derek hasn't recovered from it yet. He would rather not get himself hooked up in another drama. “You got a call. Answer the phone.Who knows? It might be from my father. I am sure you don't want to miss out on that?” Ciara chipped in aggressively. Her intrusion didn't sit too well with George, who didn't hesitate to hit back at her. “Mind your damn business. You've done more harm to me. Don't you get tired?”A few minutes after he barked at Ciara, George started realizing how the call from Derek might tune out to be his saving grace. George recalled correctly when Derek offered to come to sign the consent form in the hospital and begin the required treatment.“Oh, how I nearly missed out. This might just be it,

“I can see you got a call from someone. Is that my father calling?” Dexter asked Kelly the moment he noticed the phone ringing. Kelly didn't utter a word. He kept staring at the phone and wondered if it was cool to answer it. “Have you suddenly gone deaf that you can't hear me? I don't want to believe that I was speaking to myself, was I? Is that my father calling your phone? Why don't you just answer the damn phone and tell him I want to speak to him?” Dexter screamed his lungs out. He hates it when someone gives him silent treatment, and that's precisely what Kelly did. Kelly didn't just ignore Dexter, he did it deliberately just to spite Dexter. Tired of waiting for Kelly to speak up, Dexter snatched the phone from Kelly. He couldn't wait for Kelly to speak anymore.Seeing the name of the caller showing on Kelly's phone, Dexter hissed. “Oh, it's your daughter. I thought it was my father calling. Why didn't you tell me? Why did you make me go through that stress of trying to fi

Kelly was mad at Dexter for nearly damaging his eardrum and trying to snatch the phone. However, Kelly didn't react because he knew Dexter only wanted to speak to his father. It would have been better if he had asked nicely.Turning his back against Kelly, Dexter spoke over the phone. “I just heard you say my father is there with you. Can you be kind enough to pass the phone to him? I must have a conversation with him this minute,” No voice was heard over the phone even though the call was still on.“Ciara, are you deaf?You did hear me, didn't you? I just told you I need to speak to my father. Why are you not saying anything?” Dexter sparked outrageously. Not even the pressure from his voice was enough to make Ciara speak up. She pretended as though she weren't on the phone with anyone.“Why is your daughter not speaking to me? Has she suddenly gone deaf?” Dexter channeled his frustration at Kelly, who didn't even offend him for a second. “Like seriously?You are going to get mad

“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
