Upon arriving home, Dexter walked Sonia and Lacey to Sonia's room. He ensured they rested before leaving to his room. The following morning would be Christmas which would be one of the worst Christmas he'll ever have. Returning to his room, he fell on his bed his eyes looking towards the ceiling. With everything that has been happening within the Richmond's empire, his fear only increased. The thought of everyone he worked with betraying him, hit him hard like a tonne of bricks. He didn't know whom to trust anymore. First it was Beautrice stealing the D-VEX drive from his office and now it was Sarah taking sides with the people who had killed Beautrice. If not for Flynn no one would have been able to find out who really killed Beautrice. While he was in his deep thoughts, his phone rang and it was Sandy calling. He was surprised to see Sandy calling. He noticed he had been receiving calls from Sandy quite often but that was not a problem. He could only wonder why Sandy had decided

Sandy arrived at home to meet her parents laughing. It was unusual to see them just laughing without anyone cracking a joke or something on television. She could tell that they were up to something again but chose to ignore them and just go straight to her room. Richard's and Sonia's accusatory remarks were still playing on her head and she just wanted to go to her room and sleep over them. She blamed herself for being a coward and not saying the truth that her parents could be involved in Dexter's disappearance. "Where are you coming from?" Priscilla inquired, seeing that Sandy was just walking past them without saying a word. "I'm tired mom, I need to rest." Sandy said and left to get room. "What's wrong with her?" Raphael asked. "Who knows?" Priscilla shrugged. The news popped up and as they watched, they couldn't cease to laugh as the headlines were all about Dexter's sudden disappearance and his request to drop the charges against Jack and Alex. "Dexter doesn't know what h

The day after Christmas, Stephanie quickly informed the chief that Ivy had finally regained her memories. The chief, delighted by the news, left the police station immediately upon receiving Stephanie's message.With the holidays causing a backlog of closed cases, the approval for Jack's release had also come through. Notably, Dexter's lawyer revealed that Dexter himself had asked them to drop the charges against Jack and Alex. This strongly suggested that Dexter's disappearance was orchestrated by someone intimately familiar with both Jack and Alex. The chief's suspicions narrowed to one individual: James Richmond.Upon arriving at the Stannins apartment, he was greeted by Ivy who recognised him as "chief" enough to convince him that her memories had truly returned."Hello, chief," Ivy greeted."Hello Ivy, it's nice to have you back." The chief said. He was really happy to know that Ivy was recovering very fast. He knew it wouldn't be long before she begins to move without her wheelc

"I told you she'll not agree to our request," Stephanie said her eyes meeting with the chief's. "We would still go ahead with pressing charges and hope to see if we can win in court," the chief replied. Steering the conversation back to Dexter, Stephanie inquired if there were any leads to his whereabouts as well as those who were responsible for his disappearance. None yet, but we suspect James Richmond." Stephanie wasn't surprised that the chief was considering Dexter's uncle as a suspect. His relationship with Dexter was enough to raise concerns and suspect him. "What of Jack? Has he been released?" Stephanie inquired. "He'll be released today according to Dexter's order. This is more reason why I strongly believe that James is responsible for Dexter's disappearance," Stephanie replied. Ivy was lost in thought pondering over the possibility of the Waynes being involved in Dexter's disappearance too. She had a strong hunch that the Waynes could be involved and it would

Sandy watched as James callously set the place on fire after dragging herself and Lacey out of the place. She had tried all her best to stop James from setting the palace ablaze but all her pleas had ended up falling on deaf ears. "No...!" She had screamed as she watched the place burn while Dexter remained inside tied tight to the chair and with no way to escape. James laughter echoed in her ears as they drove out of the place. It was the most gruesome sight she could have ever seen in her life. She knew Dexter had people who didn't like him but after seeing what James and his two sons did that night, she could only but infer that they were no longer having their consciences.They arrived at their new location after a couple of minutes on the road and were forcefully dragged in - herself and Lacey."You're animals!" She spat angrily at them. She was still crying knowing fully well that Dexter had been completely burnt already."Someone's crying because of her ex husband. Isn't that
