"You look fabulous, where are you going?" Sonia walking into his room and stopping to see Dexter all dressed up."Yeah for a dinner party between the Waynes and Stannis family and I happen to be Ivy’s date." He replied turning for her to get a good look at him."Do I look good or it’s too much Sonia?""Are you nervous? Or is there something I’m missing from all this? Is there something between you and Ivy that I don’t know about? Nothing’s wrong with the outfit Dex you look perfect!""Are you sure?" Turning to face the mirror he checks himself and smiles."You’re okay to go Dex, you look nice and don’t you forget you are the Dexter Richmond, no need to fret at all. Have a nice night." She said to him as she left to her room.Dexter picked up his phone to call Ivy to inform her that he was about coming out to pick her, and ended the call."I’m off guys, will be back soon." He said as he left the house shutting the door."Ahhhhh! I am so pissed by his presence, that wanna-be businessma

"Mum, what the hell are you saying?" Ivy screamed at her mother, jumping up from her seat."Young woman, you will take your seat and listen to me.""No mum, I'm done listening to you. What did master Dexter do to deserve such from you, he has only treated you with respect.""The "why" of the matter is none of your business, you're going to do as I've instructed."Ivy snatched her coat from the chair."Over my dead body!" She stated darkly and made to leave the room."Then consider yourself no longer a member of the company."Ivy stopped in her tracks.Her mother rose up from her chair."I still own five percent more shares than anyone on the board so it doesn't matter if you're CEO. I put you there and I can take you out."Ivy gasped,"What has come over you mum?" She whispered, life drained from her."Will you listen to me now or not?" Ivy's resolve strengthened again,"No mother, if that's what you want me to do, I won't and can't do it. I am master Richmond's liaison with all the

"Since he's already using you as a tool, why not just let him have a taste of his own medicine."Ivy looked at her mother, she was unhappy and it was obvious."But mum, that'll be me jumping into his palms openly isn't that it?" "That's the best way, you hit him when he doesn't suspect, you've finally come to your senses and not that useless delusion of being special to him.""Fine," Ivy replied, her voice edgy.She was hurting but trying to cover up the pain, the truth of her mother's words hit her; Dexter truly didn't care about her, she was just his tool."Vy, Ivy you here?""Yeah mum, what's the plan to bring him down?""It's easy, seducing him, he falls for you and then you strike. It shouldn't be hard; he is already using you as a tool you only have to make him fall for your charm as a woman, make him trust you completely and blindly.""Alright, I'll do it mum, I've still got a little charm in me, so don't worry about it mother."

Stephanie said, her tone resolute.Leaning forward on her desk, her brow furrowing with concern."Are you sure she agreed willingly to do this, Stephanie? It's a risky move and we can't afford any missteps.""I understand the risks, Priscilla. And that's why we made it look unsuspecting." Stephanie replied firmly."I've made it clear to her that this is the only way to protect her interests and ensure the company's future." Priscilla sighed, knowing that she had made the right decision manipulating the Stannis, but pretended to show concern."I just worry about the potential consequences. We don't want to put her i

Focus. You need to come up with a solid plan to boost sales in Malibu. But why can't I shake this feeling of distraction?"He stares at his computer screen, trying to gather his thoughts, but his mind kept wandering."Come on, Dexter. Get it together.

Is Ivy okay?” Dexter asked, his voice filled with concern.Mrs Stannis' eyes were red and swollen from crying. She looked at Dexter with a mixture of anguish and accusation. “Dexter, where were you? Why wasn't she with you? Sonia was in a car accident, and it's all your fault!”Dexter was taken aback by her words,“Mrs. Stannis, I...I don't understand. What do you mean it's my fault? What happened?”Tears streamed down Mrs. Stannis's face as she spoke.“Ivy got a call from you as she prepared for the office, she quickly left her room hurriedly and rushed for her car to head to the office, that's when it happened.

He picked up his phone answering the numerous calls coming in, determined to provide explanations and clear Dexter's name.“Hello, this is Richard speaking. I understand there are concerns about the news regarding Dexter and Ivy. Let me assure you, Dexter did not push Ivy to the accident she's involved in. The press has distorted the facts.”“But Richard, the headlines are everywhere. How can we trust that Dexter is innocent?” The first caller asked, he was desperate to get information so he could cover the story himself.Richard heaving a sigh replied calmly “I understand your skepticism, but we are gathering evidence to prove Dexter's innocence.

During the time of the accident, I was on my way to a business meeting with some dignitaries when I got a call from her mother, Mr Richard can vouch for my presence. I have evidence to support my claim.” Dexter replied to him more boldly and confidently.“How do you explain the eyewitness accounts that place you at the scene?” The second reporter asked.“I understand that there may be eye witness accounts but I assure you that they are mistaken. I was not present at the accident scene.” He said, his voice getting deeper which meant he was angry but he kept his temper in check.“Wh

Dexter and the police officers arrived at the abandoned factory where James was holding Sonia, Richard, and Ivy hostage.

“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.

Katherine and Dexter entered into the room to see every mourning.

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.
