CHAPTER 111

“Hi, brother. Surprised to see me?” Derek smiled as he welcomed Dexter with open arms.Dexter left his mouth astonishingly widened in a fly-catching position.He never thought that someone would eventually come to bail him out, let alone his brother, who's considered his worst enemy. “I would understand if you don't want to speak to me. You never thought that I would show up, right?” Derek scoffed. “Please be seated. I didn't come for drama. Remember, we only got fifteen minutes left according to the female cop,” Derek reminded Dexter. “How's Dad doing? Has he been discharged from the hospital yet?” Dexter asked immediately after he sat down. Derek sighed and stood up. He faced the wall and returned to Dexter with a sad face. The look on Derek's face wasn't encouraging for Dexter. “Derek, where's Dad? And Why are you acting this way?” Dexter cried. He thought something bad had happened to his Father. “Is Father Dead?” Dexter tossed the question that had been on his lips for

CHAPTER 112

"What a twist. Who could have seen that coming? Absolutely no one. Look who's gonna be spending another night in detention. What a shame! Should I get you a roll of tissue, or will you be fine eventually?" Rhoda mocked Dexter shortly after Derek's departure. Rhoda was elated that she finally got her bragging rights again after the stress that Derek made her go through after he demanded to speak with Dexter. The act from Derek stunned Rhoda and left her asking questions that were never answered. It was something she never saw coming. Judging from the way Derek caused havoc, she thought he would grant Dexter's bail. Surprisingly, none of that happened. Instead, Derek made Dexter a ridiculous offer that might be difficult for him to comply with. "Just go I've had enough for the day already. Right now, I just wanna be left alone. Is that too much for that to happen?" Dexter requested, facing the ground. He was too ashamed to look Rhoda in the eyes after what happened recently. The

CHAPTER 113

“Finally, someone is interested in my juicy offer. I thought you were never going to agree to this,” Jaguar laughed as his boys joined him to mock Rhoda. Rhoda felt insulted and humiliated. Her forehead was becoming red, but she wasn't bothered. $5,000 would go a long way in her life, and if getting insulted was part of the criteria for owning such an amount, she would be ready to endure the humiliation. “Please don't listen to him. You're a super cop. This isn't who you are,” Dexter cried from his cell. He's been listening to their conversation, waiting for the right time to speak. And when the opportunity finally arrived, he jumped on it as though it was nobody's business. “And who gives you the right to decide what's best for me? Stay out of this, you son of a bitch,” Rhoda shut Dexter out. The spirit of greed had already possessed her soul, and she couldn't possibly do anything about it. “How much is he offering you? I am willing to double it just to avoid sharing the same cel

CHAPTER 114

"Can you defend what you just told me in the presence of Dexter and Jaguar? I hope you do know what you are getting yourself into. I wouldn't want you to shoot yourself in the legs. Perhaps, you should think about this again. Just so you know, I don't forgive." Lucas tasked Rhoda to prepare her mind ahead It wasn't a good day for Rhoda in the office. She was already feeling the heat of Lucas. It was the question that Rhoda had avoided while Lucas stood right in front of her. She has no idea that Lucas would be suddenly interested in the case. Now she's thinking about how she's gonna pay Dexter and Jaguar to speak in her favor just to avoid being suspended by Romeo. "I asked you a question, Rhoda. Can you defend what you just told me in the presence of Dexter and Jaguar? You haven't said anything significant since I summoned you to my office. And what's with the silent treatment? You should know it's an act that I detest so much." Lucas roared at Rhoda just when she thought he h

CHAPTER 115

The fact that Dave waited for a couple of minutes before responding made George believe that Dave might not be telling the truth. His facial expressions also suggested otherwise.“There won't be a need to see all the staff, sir. I beat my chest to say that I am extremely certain of what I'm talking about. You just have to believe me on this one. Boss. Are you expecting anyone?” Dave affirmed his earlier decision. He didn't blink his eyes, nor did he stutter, just to prove that he knew exactly what he was talking about. “I can't believe this. Why is Kelly refusing to show up? I thought I invited him over. It's been over an hour since I called him and still no sign of him anywhere. What could be the reason?” George muttered quietly to himself. There were plenty of questions in his head that were yet to be answered. Deep down, he knew he had offended Kelly in different ways. Most especially when it has to do with Ciara. It's no news that George knows that Ciara dislikes him becaus

CHAPTER 116

"Come on, don't give me that crap, Derek. Have you suddenly developed a brain tumor? I asked you to run the company but you refused. What did you say? You told me you wish to start your own business which I approved. I could recall how you came running to me to support your business which I did. So where's this act of jealousy coming from? Because I can't seem to understand it," George ragged. He said so much that shouldn't have been heard by a third party, let alone someone like Dave. The revelation made Derek weak and powerless before Dave. Before that moment, Dave has always perceived Derek to be untouchable, free from flaws, and a saint. But after listening to what George uttered, he doesn't even know what to believe anymore. He wants to walk away to avoid hearing more of George's rant but the drama catches his attention, making him wanna stay for another hour "You just humiliated me in the presence of the butler. I guess you should be overly excited now," Derek wailed. He w

CHAPTER 117

“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,

CHAPTER 118

“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

CHAPTER 119

“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

CHAPTER 120

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
