THE BILLIONAIRE'S DESIRE Chapter 8
Leaning towards George, Kelly held on to him firmly without letting go, “George, please talk to me. What's wrong with you? I'm so sorry for not paying attention. I've been overwhelmed by the situation,”“I am fine. You don't have to worry about me. It's just my chest. I will be fine,” George lied. “I just need a chilled glass of water and I will be fine,” George added. However, his facial expressions didn't correlate with his response. He was struggling to breathe while assuring himself that he was fine.“And you expect me to believe you? Come on, George. You don't seem good to me. Do you want me to call a doctor?” Kelly suggested. He's been friends with George all his life, and he knows when George is telling the truth.“Are you two still arguing about this? We don't have the luxury of time to waste here. Mr. Cooper needs to see a doctor immediately. Can't you see he's struggling to breathe?” Ciara chipped in after a brief silence. The only time she spoke was the moment she notic

“Did you hear what I just said, or do you want me to repeat it? I need to speak to a family member. Why is no one answering me? Why are you all making it seem as though I am talking to myself?” Doctor Escobar flared up. The silence was killing him. The reason he was tolerating them was due to how serious George's situation had become. “Doctor, can we not do this right now? You already know the condition of my health. Don't you think the most important thing is ensuring that I stay alive? I am pretty sure you don't want him to die in your hospital?” George protested. He couldn't bear the pain anymore. Doctor Escobar's ranting has pushed his button enough, forcing him to come out of his shell. It was starting to seem like a heated argument until Kelly was forced to step in and resolve the issue before it got messier than it already seemed. “Hey, Doctor. Can I please speak with you for a second? It's time-sensitive that I do that now.” Kelly urged. He couldn't stand and watch his f

“Let's not get our hopes too high because Doctor Escobar decided to act cool. He might as well be pretending, just to aid your recovery. Next time won't be funny.” Kelly advised. He was the only person thinking In a different direction. “I am a bit confused right now What are you talking about?” George asked. Confusion has spread over his face like a virus. He ended up losing a few brain cells the moment he attempted to understand Kelly's standpoint. “There's no need for you to freak out.I was talking about your son, Dexter. Don't you think we should invite him over?” Kelly advised. It sounded like a good plan until Dexter's name was mentioned.George frowned at the suggestion immediately. “Like seriously? Dexter? You witnessed the brawl that happened between us in my office. Because of him, I suffered a heart attack. What are the odds that he would show up?” “It's better than not trying. You are not going to fold your arms and do nothing while you get kicked out of the hospita

It's been over ten minutes since Ciara questioned her father's loyalty to George Cooper, and he hasn't uttered a word in his defense. He spent the last couple of minutes looking at the ground like a lost hen. The question hit him hard, making it difficult for him to recover. Ciara was scared. She felt guilty for putting her father In such a complicated situation. All she ever wanted to do was clarify the question that had been bothering her for a while. It all started when Kelly returned home with a huge amount of money. When Ciara asked him about it, Kelly claimed that his long-lost best friend, George Cooper, gave it to him. In Ciara's words; "Your friend gave you the money for no reason? This is hard for me to believe. I think there must be a reason for this. Is he so wealthy that he now goes about sharing money with anyone he comes in contact with? I wonder how he acquired his wealth. Since that moment, Ciara's mind had been restless. On several occasions, she took her time t

“So what did you do? You accepted a crazy offer, didn't you?” Ciara asked nicely. “I guess you know the answer to that question. It's apparent,” Kelly replied harshly. He was too scared to admit. “It doesn't just add up. I thought you said he's the reason you had an education. Why do you keep confusing me? Let me guess, I want to assume that is the reason you don't have a job. He's the reason our life is miserable. He's the reason mom had to die because we couldn't afford to pay for her medical bills?” Ciara assumed. She had already judged George from the inside, regardless of what her father thought. “You know that's not true, George is innocent in all of this. If there's anyone to blame for how my life turned out, it's me because I accepted his offer without being pressured. I had no gun pointed at my head neither was I kidnapped,”Kelly justified his actions without being concerned about what Ciara felt about his decision. “Unbelievable! I can't believe you're defending Ge

“What did your friend say to you over the phone? The conversation wasn't on speaker, which made it difficult for me to hear him. Did he say he was coming with your son already? Please, I need to know,” Doctor Escobar asked George in the ward. He was standing next to George as he witnessed everything that happened. George was shocked to the bone. He kept staring at his phone and wondered why Kelly had to end the phone in such a disrespectful manner. “That son of a bitch ended the call. What the fuck was he thinking? I don't want to believe he's messing with my head.” “Mr. Cooper, we're running out of time. I just asked you a question, and you haven't responded yet. What did your friend say to you? Should we expect him in the next few minutes?” Escobar raised another question that was left unresponsive. That was the attitude that pushed his button and made him lose his cool. “You know, I do hate it when someone gives me a silent treatment and that's precisely what you are doing. Yo

“Lying to you? Why would I even do that? You should know me better than that. Don't you trust me already?” Kelly frowned. He tried to play the victim card. He had no idea that George was already two steps ahead of him.“I see what you're doing. But trust me, I am not falling for it. I didn't call just to argue with you. I called to find out if you have arrived at my mansion yet. The doctor is on my neck. And why is it so difficult for you to show up with Dexter?” George spoke for the second time in a different tone of voice just to make Kelly understand that he wasn't kidding around. “I am sorry about the doctor. Try to buy yourself more time while I sort this out over where. You want to know the truth, don't you? Yes, I am currently in your home. I just arrived. I am waiting for someone to come open the door and let me in. Are you happy now?” Kelly answered. “Now that's what I am talking about. You should tell me about this before. You made me understand that you've arrived, a

“What exactly do you want from me, Ciara? You seem so desperate. Haven't you done enough damage already?” George finally spoke, but with a faint tone all thanks to the immense pressure from Ciara. He was sick and tired of hiding his frustration. Not only was Ciara able to successfully mount the immense pressure on George, but she also weakened his soul to the lowest and made him less of a man. “I want you to stay far away from my family as soon as possible. What the heck am I saying? I want that to take effect immediately. And of course, that includes my father because he's the reason I'm having this conversation with you. I would rather not see you talking to him ever again, and am I not even kidding about it,” she warned George. “Stay away from your father? Are you kidding me? The truth is, what you don't know is bigger than you. A little advice for you, little one; back off the damn case if you don't know anything about it.” George laughed until he started coughing and shedding

“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,
