THE BILLIONAIRE'S DESIRE Chapter 24
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

CHAPTER 31“Oh, so it's you again?” Kelly asked, after seeing Dexter at the doorstep. Now he knows the reason for Ciara's quietness. “You still had the guts to show up here after everything that happened? Are you that cruel?” Kelly sparked outrageously. “Is my Father inside? I want to see him,” Dexter requested with pride as he ignored Kelly's ratings. To Dexter, they weren't relevant to him. Despite the trauma Dexter caused everyone, he refused to apologize to Kelly. He stood on his decision as though it were nobody's business. “No, you're not seeing your Father. We don't want anyone to complicate his health issues further. I suggest you leave immediately and never return,” Kelly replied and shut the door immediately. He couldn't even wait for Dexter to explain himself further. From outside, Dexter laughed. “What was he thinking? I guess I should leave. I am not cut out for this,” “Dad, what did you just do? Why did you have to shut the door against him like that? In my hones

“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
THE BILLIONAIRE'S DESIRE Chapter 40
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
THE BILLIONAIRE'S DESIRE Chapter 38
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
THE BILLIONAIRE'S DESIRE Chapter 34
“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
