Dexter's phone rang. It was a call from Richard. They've not seen each other since they came back from India and Dexter had really missed him. Richard was his most trusted employee.

I've really missed you and can't wait to have you back at the office," Dexter greeted warmly as he answered the call, a smile tugging at the corners of his lips."Yes, I am Dexter.

With a nod to Richard, he excused himself and answered the call, recognizing the chief of police's number."Hello, Chief," Dexter greeted, his voice tinged with anticipation."Hello, Dexter. We've found Ivy," the chief announced, his words cutting through the air with a sense of urgency."Really? Where?" Dexter's heart quickened with hope, his mind racing with questions."It's a complicated story, but if you're not busy, you can meet us at the hospital," the chief replied cryptically, leaving Dexter's curiosity piqued. "I'll explain everything when you get here."With a sense of urgency, Dexter hastily agreed and ended the call, his mind racing with thoughts of Ivy and the mysterious circumstances surrounding her discovery. Dexter's heart sank as he stepped into the hospital room, greeted by the sig

He couldn't shake the relentless self-blame that gnawed at his conscience, tormenting him with thoughts of what he could have done differently to prevent Ivy's abduction.With each passing moment, he found himself engulfed in a sea of regret, wishing he could turn back time and rewrite the past. He cursed himself for his absence during Ivy's time of need, berating himself for prioritizing his trip to India over her safety. If only he had been there to protect her, to shield her from the clutches of the unknown assailants who had snatched her away.Sonia arrived at the hospital to find him seated by Ivy's side, his expression wrought with concern as he watched over her unconscious form. Ivy remained unresponsive, her condition unchanged. Merely looking at her, one could tell that she had really gone through a lot from the hands of her kidnapper

Dexter's conversation with the doctor halted abruptly as the urgent news of reporters clamoring for information on Ivy's condition reached him. Without a moment's hesitation, he made his way through the corridors of the hospital, steeling himself for the onslaught of questions that awaited him.As he emerged to face the throng of journalists gathered outside, Dexter braced himself for the barrage of inquiries, his expression a mask of composure despite the turmoil raging within."Mr. Richmond, can you shed some light on Ivy's condition? Is it true that she's in critical condition?" one reporter pressed, thrusting a microphone in Dexter's direction, eager for a response.Dexter's gaze hardened, his voice steady as he addressed the crowd. "Let me be clear," he stated firmly, his words cutting through the clamor of the crowd. "Ivy is not in critical condition. She's stable and resting comfortably."A wave of relief swept through the assembled reporters as Dexter's words quelled the rumor
Heir to the Richmond Empire Chapter 116: We have a problem, Jack!
Flynn was consumed by fear as he was ushered into a room where he was informed that someone awaited him. The armed men accompanying him made it abundantly clear that any attempt to resist would have dire consequences.Upon entering the room, Flynn's gaze fell upon a figure wearing a hat, his face turned away from them."Hello, Mr. Flynn," the man greeted."Who are you, and what do you want?" Flynn demanded, his voice laced with apprehension."Excuse us," the man ordered the guards, signaling for privacy."Who are you? Show your face!" Flynn's voice rose, prompting a chuckle from the mysterious figure."You would do well not to raise your voice, Flynn. I possess the authority to end your life here and now," the man asserted, his words instilling a palpable sense of dread in Flynn.He casually reached for the glass of wine beside him, taking a sip before resuming his ominous monologue. "Your sister is in my custody, and her fate rests in your hands. Cooperate, and she'll be returned unh

Dexter and the police officers arrived at the abandoned factory where James was holding Sonia, Richard, and Ivy hostage. The officers closed in, weapons drawn, shouting commands for James to stop and surrender. But James had already made up his mind."I'll blow up this whole place, and we'll all die together," he threatened, clutching the remote control tightly, his eyes wild with determination.Katherine, recognizing the seriousness of James's threat and the extent to which he was willing to go for his revenge, stepped out from the midst of the police officers.

“Today, I'll have my full revenge. Today I'll end it once and for all,” James muttered, his eyes burning with anger as he opened the small briefcase he was holding. Mr. Blaq stood beside him wondering what he was doing as that wasn't part of the initial plan. Several other men were in the room, each holding a gun, their faces set with grim determination. “What are you doing?” Richard asked, his voice trembling as he caught sight of the item in the briefcase, which looked alarmingly like a bomb. “I’m about to send you all to the devil,” James scoffed, his tone dripping with malicious disdain. Richard’s eyes widened in fear. “You’re insane! You can’t do this!” James chuckled darkly. “Oh, but I can. And I will. It’s time for the Richmond empire to fall, and you’re just collateral damage.” Mr. Blaq shifted uneasily, glancing at the other men. Despite his loyalty to James and the Rogue's Secret Coalition, he hadn’t signed up for mass murder. “James, are you sure about this? The

"Raphael and Priscilla are finally behind bars,” Julio said as he addressed members of the Rogue Secret Coalition. “All along they thought they were masters of the game not knowing that they were not even players in the first place,” James scoffed, his voice dripping with utter disdain.There was an unusual silence that fell upon them in the room as if someone had walked in but it was quickly interrupted by president Lee Chan's crackling voice.“There's no need basking in an already won victory. Raphael and Priscilla Wayne were just pawns in this game right from the very beginning. They've served their purpose and it's time to look into the bigger picture,”Julio's respect for Lee Chan had always been massive seeing how much he reasoned like himself. If there was something he liked about Lee Chan, it was the fact that his hunger for power was like a vampire thirsty for blood.“That's right. It's time to hit the big target and that's Dexter Richmond himself.” Julio said, his eyes meet

This isn't good,” Katherine's forehead creased slightly conveying a sense of unease. They had left the mourning room as soon as they heard that James had escaped. That wasn't part of the plan. With James already out of the picture, it was left with Julio and Mr Blaq but now that James had escaped, they could smell trouble brewing already. “So what do we do now?” Dexter asked, seeing that there was really not much he could bring himself to think about regarding everything that was happening. “We'll have to be vigilant. If James had failed in his first attempt to kill you, he'll come again and this time, he won't spare you.” Katherine revealed, her hands clasped, with a palpable sense of nervous energy underlying her demeanor. Dexter could understand what his mother was saying but in the midst of it all, he still wanted to know why his mother and Ivy's mother had a rough conversation earlier. The fact that the two of them would become inlaws soon was a matter of concern to him. He

Katherine and Dexter entered into the room to see every mourning. He approached Priscilla with his own bouquet of flower offering his sympathy to her.Katherine too offered her sympathy causing everyone except Stephanie to wonder who she was and why she was with Dexter.“Katherine!” Stephanie exclaimed, upon recognizing her as Dexter's mother and her once upon a time friend.“You know her?” Ivy inquired, her curiosity piqued.“Yes dear. That's Dexter's biological mother.” Stephanie replied, causing Ivy's mouth to open wide in awe as she had never expected it. From his conversation with Dexter back when they newly started dating, he had told her that his mother was probably dead having been left and abandoned at an orphanage as a baby.“What's she doing here? And did Dexter get to find her?” Stephanie muttered to herself.Dexter noticed Ivy's presence and walked up to her. He felt bad that he had not shown himself to her ever since he got out of the burning warehouse alive.“Ivy….” He

“Cliches, like the darkest hour, are just before dawn. Priscilla was still finding it difficult to recover from the death of Sandy. She stayed in her room all day refusing to eat and not wanting to talk to anybody. She felt like her world had ended now that Sandy was no more. The armed forces and the police took up the matter to find who actually attempted to kill Dexter that night. With all of Dexter's enemies out of the way, the investigation narrowed down to two possible individuals - Julio Jones and Mr Blaq. “You idiot! How did you manage to miss him?” The air crackled with Julio's voice, rising with frustration and indignation at the young man whom he had asked to finish off Dexter once and for all.He had laid down specific instructions and wasn't expecting anything to go wrong. “It's the lady who stepped in. I already had a clear shot but she immediately stepped in.” The young man replied, his fist clenched and his tone assertive.The young man was one of the best assassins

As the ambulance took off that night, Dexter couldn't help it but to pray silently in his heart that nothing bad should happen to Sandy.“Please hurry up,” Dexter's cry echoed through the van, his cloth stained with blood. His fear kept increasing as he watched Sandy's life slowly fade away.“Don't die, Sandy,” His voice trembled as tears began to flow of their own accord.He had never expected that Sandy would do something like that for him, not after her betrayal when they were still married.The night seemed to be darker and quieter as the team of paramedics conveyed Sandy to the Emergency Room.
