THE BILLIONAIRE'S DESIRE Chapter 22
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

“I'm still waiting for your response. If you dare end the call, it would be the last time I would have spoken to you. I don't care if you spend an eternity on the sick bed,” Dexter warned his Father. “Check your damn bank account. I just fixed your account. You're free to have access to everything I stripped you of,” George disclosed. “Are you serious? I just hope this isn't one of your tricks to lure me to the hospital?” Dexter argued. He was yet to understand how George made that happen so fast while they were still having a telephone conversation. Still in doubt, Dexter received a text from his bank. It was a notification that his transaction had just been restored. “I will be in the hospital immediately,” Dexter assured his father and ended the call after the confirmation text from his bank. “I will be waiting for you in the car once you are done,” Kelly said. He was about to leave when Dexter called him back. “Hold on a second. I can't recall asking you to leave. You are g

“Why are you telling me?What do you want me to do with this irrelevant piece of information right now? Because I can't seem to understand where you are going with this,” Kelly spoke from the back seat.Turning his direction over to Kelly, Dexter responded. “Are you that dumb that you can't think? Do I need to spell it out to you? Isn't it obvious already? I want you to call my Father immediately. Let him know of the recent development to avoid getting him disappointed eventually,”“How do you even sleep at night, knowing that your brain is empty? It must be so hard for you, isn't it? Don't worry; I thoroughly understand the pain you are going through. You must be the greatest fool on earth if you ever think I will pay attention to you. The last I checked, he's your father. You've got his mobile number, don't you? Why don't you call him yourself rather than burden me with your responsibility?" Dexter snarled. He remained firm on his decision and wasn't scared that Dexter was going to

“In normal circumstances, I would kick your friend out of the hospital. Maybe I shouldn't have attended to you in the first place because you wasted my precious time,” the Doctor lamented. It didn't seem like he was gonna stick to his word after the delay. “Please, don't do this. I knew what it took me to get him here. I don't want my effort to be in vain,” Kelly pleaded. He knew it was that time when he needed to stay humble just to get what he wanted. "What's going on here? Where's my father? Where can I sign the consent form?” Dexter asked after he joined them. Doctor Escobar and Kelly never responded as they both shared a telling look. They both seem to have the same thoughts running through their head. “Can someone please say something?” Dexter flared up. Ignoring Dexter's ranting, doctor Escobar told Kelly. “Can you please teach this boy some manners?” Doctor Escobar walked to the office after the instruction. “What is he talking about? Did you bring me here to be insult

“I sincerely want to apologize in advance for asking this question because I know it's going to hurt you for real. Don't blame me, the curiosity is killing me slowly. It's about Dexter, though, “Doctor Escobar initiated the conversation. He paused to seek the approval of Kelly before proceeding to avoid sounding rude.At the mention of Dexter's name, Kelly facepalms. “Oh no. Dexter again?” He knew that the name alone connotes chaos and drama. And Dexter is the last person Kelly wants to discuss just to avoid having another migraine. “Go ahead with the question. You got nothing to worry about,” Kelly consented. It took him a couple of minutes to decide that. He was quite aware that it was a massive risk getting himself involved in Dexter's drama, yet he wasn't bothered. “How's your friend, George coping with him? It must be very tough for him, isn't it? I can imagine the sleepless nights that Dexter is causing him. If I should be honest with you, I just can't even stand Dexter's pr

“Do you enjoy wasting people's time, or it's a habit you just developed?” George snarled. He swore not to get himself involved in another heated moment with the cops anymore. Unfortunately, Rhoda pushed his button, forcing him to go against his will.“That's Officer Lucas. He's going to attend to you. He's responsible for this case,” Rhoda confessed just to roll the burden away from her heart. “You bitch! You had to find a way to force me into this mess. I am going to make you pay for what you just did.” Lucas threatened Rhoda. He was sending signals to Rhoda not to point at him, but she wasn't paying attention. Guilt and anxiety had taken over her soul. The only thing she was interested in was seeing Dexter and his Father leave. “I am sorry, Sir. I had no choice I was under immense pressure,” Rhoda apologized. Unfortunately, the apology was rejected immediately as Lucas continued to yell at her. “Keep your damn apology to yourself. I don't want to hear it. Why didn't you te

Five minutes had gone past and Dexter was still chewing his nails, thinking of his decision. He feared making the worst decision that was most likely to ruin his life for good. As much as Dexter hated being locked up in the police station for too long and would do anything to buy his freedom, he still wasn't satisfied with his Father's decision. He wished his Father would reconsider his decision and have mercy on him. Getting married to Ciara wasn't what Dexter had envisaged in his lifetime, because they never liked each other from the onset. He never for once, found Ciara worthy enough to be his girlfriend, let alone his wife. He had a feeling that the marriage wouldn't even leave for a week before they finally got divorced. “You should know that being kept quiet is what I hate the most, Dexter. Yet, you keep doing it to me. Do you think I'm here to look at your ugly face? I've got other important stuff to worry about. Instead, I chose to come here and save your sorry ass.

"My son? What the hell are you talking about, Kelly? I can't see anybody here. Please where's Dexter? Or have you started imagining things? Perhaps, we should have your head examined because it's obvious that you're losing it already," George taunted Kelly. But it was Dexter who felt it the most. Dexter felt humiliated by his Father's derogatory remarks about him. To Dexter, that was worse than being abandoned in the police custody. That was the moment he wished that his Father never agreed to show up. Because the presence of his Father makes no difference to him whatsoever. "Now this is getting serious, George.When did you suddenly become a comedian? Are you saying that you can't recognize your son anymore or what?" Kelly frowned. The whole thing was starting to look like a joke to him. He doesn't understand George anymore because that wasn't their initial plan. George stood up and pointed towards Dexter. "Kelly, take a good look at this man standing here. Does he have any s

Rhoda hasn't rested since she escorted Dexter to see his Father. Rhoda wasn't with them in the visitor’s room but her heart won't stop beating faster. This was the only time she ever wished that Dexter would be granted bail by his father so she could be free from the pressure the coopers had heaped on her. As Rhoda mauled over her thoughts, Lucas walked past her unnoticed. He returned to her duty post when he noticed that Rhoda refused to acknowledge his presence. "Hey, Rhoda. How's it going with you?" Lucas waved at Rhoda to get her attention. He did that the second time, yet there was no response from Rhoda. Not even a blink of an eye. It appears that she was lost in profound thought judging from the way she placed her hands below her jawline. Fed up with seeking Rhoda's attention, Lucas slammed the desk In frustration to awaken her lost soul. "Good day, sir," Rhoda hurriedly greeted Lucas and did the salutation to welcome him. "How long have you been standing here, sir?"

He threw the car keys to Romeo and pointed to a blue Lexus Rx car. "You see that over there? That's the one we are going with," "We are here now," Romeo announced. It was a twenty-minute drive. The shortest drive that George has ever had. "So fast?" George asked. He thought it was gonna be a long journey. "Yes, so fast. I could understand your reaction. It's because it's your first time," Romeo explained. Then he went ahead to narrate everything that needed to be known about the station. He laid more emphasis on Rhoda and Officer Lucas than anyone else. To him, those two were the real vampires of the station. "I've heard everything you said. We will be back in ten minutes," George told Romeo as they stepped outside. "Ten minutes? I seriously doubt that," Romeo laughed. He can't see how that will be achieved when Rhoda and Lucas are In the picture. "You took the car keys, didn't you?" Kelly reminded George. He has been harboring that question In his mind for a while now."O

Kelly and George went back to Romeo with a different kind of mood that seemed a lot more encouraging. Most especially George, who almost kicked Romeo out of the house a while ago because he thought that Romeo was an imposter. “Are you both done with the private talk already? What was the conclusion? Do I need to stay or leave?” Romeo asked in anticipation. Romeo's heart was beating faster. He saw the smiles on Kelly's face, yet he wasn't convinced. The last time he checked, George was Dexter's Father and not Kelly. He still can't fathom how Kelly was putting in more energy in the case than George, who's the biological father of Dexter. Now he knows why no one has shown up to bail Dexter yet. “We have agreed to come with you to the station to see Dexter” George finally agreed. He had to glare at Kelly before responding. “That sounds like a great idea. I bet Dexter will be so happy to see you. He can't stop talking about you. However, we might have a slight problem,” Romeo frown

“Are you seriously mocking me now? What do you mean he's gonna show up? Did he disclose that to you? Or you're the one making false assumptions just to please me?” George flared at Kelly.“Oh, here he comes,” Kelly called George's attention as he pointed at someone from a distance. “I told you he wasn't gone. You should have listened to me. I guess you owe me an apology now,” Kelly bragged. “You again? I thought you were gone?” George acted surprised. He pretends not to care about Romeo's return. But deep down, he cared the most. His ego was just preventing him from speaking the truth.“I never left. I had an urgent call that needed to be answered in private. Well, here I am now. Do I still need to prove myself to you?” Romeo explained. From the atmosphere around them, he was already feeling optimistic that George was going to let him in.“No worries, Do come in,” Kelly welcomed Romeo after waiting for George to speak. Considering how egocentric George was, Kelly was damn sure t

“Yo! Dave. Can you please come take this empty glass away? And thank you for the drink. I appreciate you. I must say, you are quite nice. Don't stop doing good. It's only a matter of time before your reward comes,” Kelly said to Dave. He saw Dave passing by and decided to call him.Dave was stunned by Kelly's gesture. None of George's visitors has treated him in such a kind manner before. Not even Dexter, Derek, or George's business partners. “It is my pleasure to serve you, sir. Thank you for the advice. It means a lot to me,” Dave smiled and left with that tray.Kelly won't stop checking his wristwatch. He was getting fed up with George's constant delay.“What's George doing out there? I thought he promised not to stay too long.” Kelly's soliloquies as he waited for George to be done. He can't even see the face of the person that George was speaking with at the doorway.“What did you say your name was again?” George asked yet another question. It appears that he wasn't too pleas

“Just forget about Derek. Welcome to my humble abode. Would you like me to get you something to drink?” George forced a smile to make Kelly forget about the issue. He proceeds to call Dave. “ Hey, Dave. Go get my friend a glass of red wine. Make it snappy. He is my best friend. I wouldn't want you to keep him waiting for too long,”“No, please wait. I don't need anything for now. I didn't come here to be entertained,” Kelly hurriedly stopped Dave just as the latter was about to leave. “Dave, you just heard from my friend. You can now head back to your duty post. Don't return until your name is heard,” George ordered as he dismissed Dave, leaving him alone with Kelly. “What took you so long to show up? I was worried that you were never going to make it here,” George asked Kelly as they both sat down after a handshake. Kelly nodded sideways in pity. He wasn't looking happy, and George could tell that it had nothing to do with Derek. “Kelly, what's the issue? It's your daughter,
