THE BILLIONAIRE'S DESIRE Chapter 23
“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

“Now I'm here.That should tell you that I'm safe. I guess it's time for you to leave,” Kelly ordered. And when Ciara refused to pay attention to him, he leaned forward, trying to make her stand up. “Dad, please stop doing this.You're embarrassing yourself, and it's not even funny,” She struggled to pull Kelly away. “Embarrassing myself? For crying out loud, I'm trying to keep you safe,” “Keep me safe by sending me into the dark? I guess you meant to say, endangering my life because that's what it seems right now. You just said it yourself that it's pretty late. How do you expect me to find my way home?” Ciara argued. It was starting to seem like a fierce battle until George stepped in to separate the Father and daughter. He hasn't said a word since Kelly walked inside. It's almost like George wasn't inside. George cleared his throat to announce his presence. “Like seriously, Kelly. Do you realize I am here? Or did you just decide to ignore me as though I don't even exist? I

"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
THE BILLIONAIRE'S DESIRE CHAPTER 72
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
