“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

    A flurry of morning activities was conveyed by the softly flickering morning sun on Houston, Texas's streets. "Beep! Beep!” Kelly's alarm reminded him of the adventures ahead. Even though he did not drink coffee, he could not sleep last night because of the problems he was facing. Kelly recently lost his job as a gatekeeper in an exquisite restaurant after he showed up late at work on many occasions. Living in the slums of America, he found it difficult to show up early at work. It is my reckoning day. He let out another sigh of exasperation and looked at his wall clock, which showed 8:30 a.m. A semi-detached bungalow with cracked walls and worn-out blue paint where he resides with his daughter, Ciara, after he lost his beloved wife. Kelly was already at peace with his fate and prepared for whatever lay ahead. His wife passed away too soon because he was unable to cover her medical expenses with even the pennies he had previously made from the restaurant. "I am aware t

    Is this a dream? My phone and cash! Hey, wait,” Kelly ran after the moving vehicle, screaming like a lunatic. He didn't know what just hit him. It took him 3 minutes to realize he had just been robbed. Wrapping his hands around his waist, he shook his head in disgust and sat next to a gigantic fence outside. He couldn't report to the cops or tell anyone what happened. "Where do I go from here? I don't even have a dime on me right now. What do I tell Ciara? How will she react to the devastating news?” Facing the sky, Kelly prayed silently in a faint tone. He got so engrossed in his thoughts and dozed outside, unbothered by the scorching sun melting his skin. "Hey, stranger. What are you doing here?” A passerby tapped Kelly and woke him up. "I'm fine,” replied, Kelly in a full-body stretch. He yawned and stood up. "My phone, where's it? I need to call my daughter immediately. She must be worried about me,” ransacking his pocket for his phone, he screamed. He immediately

    "Don't be so ridiculous. I don't wanna believe you've got nothing inside that big head of yours. I don't want my father to find you here. We should think of getting you out of here before he walks inside,” bewildered, Ciara whispered. Her head was spinning. She could barely think straight to come up with a solution. "And I asked us not to have sex here. We could have just gone to your place. Now see the mess you caused me.” Ciara berated Walters for what happened. "Enough with the self-pity. It wasn't my fault. Don't act like you didn't want it, too. If you were so serious about this, you would have declined. But no, you jumped on the bed and spread your legs so damn wide while I fucked you so hard.” Walters clapped back and taunted Ciara. Leaning forward to her room door, Kelly called out again, this time, screaming out his lungs. "Ciara, I know you're in there. Why are you not answering? I've been calling for over an hour,” Making an indistinct chatter, she ordered Walters

    It's yet another day conveying new hopes and aspirations. Ciara still hasn't gotten over the shock of being sold to an arranged marriage without her consent. Now she's on the verge of losing Walters, the only man who loved and cared for her, just to fulfill her father's selfish interest. "He even threatened to attempt suicide if I went against his decision. This is indeed bigger than me.” Ciara pondered. She's been out of bed for over an hour, speaking to her reflection in the mirror and seeking answers that would never be answered. "I need to find a way to fix this mess. I'm an adult. I can't allow my father to play the lead role in my life. Enough of this bullshit. I'm done playing his script. I'm now in charge!” With a bit of confidence, Ciara spoke out as she got dressed and dashed to the living room to find her father watching, concentrating on a television show. "Good morning, Dad,” trying to force a smile, Ciara greeted, yet he ignored her and narrowed his focus on the

    The relationship saga hit Ciara so hard and pierced her heart like a dagger. She got so engrossed in her thoughts and forgot where she was. "Fuck you bitch. Watch where you going. I almost got you killed. If you're so tired of life, go jump into the Atlantic Ocean. Don't get me involved in your mess,” the man yelled at Ciara for standing in his way. "OMG! I'm so sorry. I wasn't looking. I never knew there was a car behind me,” she apologized. It took her some minutes to finally regain consciousness. “Sorry? Did you just apologize? Apologies, my ass.” The man angrily stepped down from his car and rushed to Ciara. “ I almost got you knocked down. Of course, you know what that means, right? I'll be spending Christmas in jail. Why don't I show you how sorry you should be?” Dragging Ciara by the ear and pulling her hair, he warned. “Don't try this shit with me next time because If you do, your folks will be planning your funeral. You pathetic bastard. Get the fuck out of my s

    “That's enough. I am not going to accept that from both of you. For crying out loud, why are you two acting like lunatics? You couldn't even acknowledge our presence. Have you suddenly lost respect for us?” George Cooper yelled at Dexter and Ciara as though they were kids. He wasn't biased in his judgment, neither did he pamper Dexter because he was his son. “Father, please cut me some slack.Whose side are you on? I can't believe you would say this to me. You were here when she insulted me. Why didn't you do something about it?” Dexter fumed at his father. He could barely conceal the frustration at George's verdict. As his son, Dexter figured that he was entitled to some kind of benefits, which his Father deprived him of. “Shut the fuck up, Dexter. I just knew you were going to be the first to speak. I would never be an advocate of irrational attitude,” George clapped back at Dexter. It didn't take him too long to do that. It's as though he's been waiting for this moment when he

    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

    “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
