“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

"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. Rome

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
