THE BILLIONAIRE'S DESIRE Chapter 35
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

"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

“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

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

“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

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

“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

"Do you have anything to say about this, or should I proceed? I don't want it to seem as though I am saying things that never happened. I might be a bit nasty but at the same time, I am quite considerate." Kelly asked Dexter genuinely with a smiling face. "You son of a bitch! How dare you ask me such a question? Are you trying to spite me or what? What difference does it make anyway? You already started by making life complicated for me. Why don't you finish what you started already? If you had allowed me to handle this my way, I wouldn't have found myself in this mess. Instead, you choose to act like the Boss you would never become in your entire weird life,” Dexter fired back at Kelly without looking back. He carefully selected his words as everyone paid rapid attention to him. Dexter might have sounded rude to Kelly, yet everyone admired his bravery and how he stood up for himself. They haven't witnessed anything like that before. Dexter's heart was beating faster like the drum

"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
