THE BILLIONAIRE'S DESIRE Chapter 18
“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

“Hey, Dexter, your father is on the phone. He wants to speak with you right now. Please don't keep him waiting for too long,” Kelly disclosed while stretching his hand to pass his phone over to Dexter. Kelly wasn't convinced about letting Dexter have his phone for the second time. He won't stop withdrawing his hand every second. After what happened between Kelly and Dexter the last time Dexter spoke to George, Kelly has been skeptical about making the same mistake. Dexter had his back turned against Kelly as he took another shot of vodka to ease his stress. He seemed uninterested in speaking with George after George refused to meet this demand the last time they spoke over the phone. “Who wants to speak with me? Keep your damn phone. I would rather not speak to anyone right now. I just want to be left alone,” Dexter declined while directing his gaze at the bar. At that point, the bottle of vodka in front of him was more important than anyone, including George, his father.“I would

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

“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

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
THE BILLIONAIRE'S DESIRE CHAPTER 92
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

“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,”

“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

“What am I going to do about this now? My Father won't let me leave. He's not even treating me like this daughter anymore. What have I done for him to deserve this?” Bewildered, Ciara questioned herself. She sought a solution but couldn't get one. She was desperate to go get the keys from Kelly certainly. After seeing that little display by Kelly, Ciara was forced to retract. "He's just going to beat me to a pulp for the first time, and it's going to be one crazy hell of an experience,” Ciara thought. In the process of finding a way out, Ciara thought of something new. She quickly recalled hhow Derrek was able to escape through the back door without Kelly knowing about it.“Yes, the back door. That's precisely what I am going to use.Why didn't I think about this before? My Dad won't even notice anything. Let's see who's smarter now,” She giggled and praised herself for coming up with a solution almost immediately when it felt like all hope was lost. Ciara wasn't even bothere

“You wouldn't dare do something stupid, Ciara. Your mom and I didn't raise you to be this disrespectful towards me,”“Take my mom's name out of your fucking mouth, Dad. She wouldn't treat me this way if she was alive, and you know it. So don't try to defend your mediocrity,” Ciara clapped back immediately with full confidence. Ciara's confidence grew stronger as each day passed. Gone were the days when she could barely even look at Kelly's face and speak. “I don't care what you do or say. The reason you turned out this way is that your late mom spoiled you. But with me, it's not going to be possible. I will do everything possible to ensure you act right. Hand over the paper to me now. I am speaking to you as your Father. It's an order, and you must obey me,” Kelly roared like a wounded lion. Kelly attempted to snatch the phone from Ciara. Unfortunately for him, Ciara saw that coming and edged backward. She stood a few miles away from Kelly should he attempt to punch her in the f

It was a new day, promising new hopes and aspirations for Ciara and her Father after the previous night of Royal Rumble. With their chaos, they nearly brought down the entire building. The rays of the morning sun flickered into Ciara's room as she rubbed her blurry eyes. She had been awake since 5:30 AM despite going to bed late the previous night. She barely even slept for three hours before her problem woke her up. Ciara wasn't a coffee drinker, but she stayed awake the whole night, thinking about the unfortunate incident that occurred in her house. No matter how she tried to forget, it kept playing in her head. Like a glued the incident was stuck to her mind. The fact that Derrek forgot some of his clothes and wallet complicated it. Ciara had already assured Walters that she was going to help him get the wallet. Returning the wallet to Derrek wasn't Ciara's fault. Her major concern is avoiding the temptation from Derrek after failing the last time, which, of course, leads t
