James was deep in thought, contemplating the implications of the D-VEX drive's revelation when Jack and Alex entered the room. As they glanced at their father, it was evident that he was deeply troubled. This was unlike anything they had seen before; even the stoic James Richmond, known for his lack of emotion, seemed visibly affected.

"Father, what's going on? What's this D-VEX drive, and why does it seem to bother you so much?" Jack inquired, having been briefed by Alex on the matter at hand.

James sighed heavily before addressing the issue at hand. The resurgence of the D-VEX drive was unexpected; he had thought it was a closed chapter, buried in the past. Its reappearance suggested unresolved business from years ago. Moreover, Sonia's knowledge of the drive wasn't a coincidence, implying potential danger if its contents fell into Dexter's hands.

"The D-VEX drive was a highly advanced technological creation by Dexter's father, containing crucial information about the RSC and the F-

Despite their initial confusion and resentment, James's narrative shed light on the reasons behind their grandfather's decision. It became evident that their grandfather's actions were justified, given the tumultuous and morally questionable events that had transpired within the family. "But how could you, Dad? There were innocent people on that plane," Jack interjected, his voice thick with emotion, struggling to comprehend his father's actions as James continued his narrative."With no knowledge of the D-VEX drive's whereabouts, as Dexter's father refused to divulge its location, we assumed he was carrying it with him on the plane.

The chief's earlier revelation about the possibility of Sandy tipping off the police had fueled Stephanie's distrust, leaving her wary of Sandy's presence near Ivy.Sandy, taken aback by Stephanie's hostility, raised her hands in a placating gesture. "I caught Dexter's interview on TV," Sandy began, her voice heavy with remorse. "I'm here to apologize. I pray Ivy wakes up soon." Her words carried a genuine sense of sympathy, tinged with regret for her past actions. Sandy couldn't shake off the guilt; she was complicit in Ivy's current condition.

It was in that very bar that she had nearly fallen victim to the cruel intentions of some unruly patrons, only to be rescued by Dexter's timely intervention. His act of kindness had sparked a connection between them, one that blossomed into a love story she had once believed would defy the odds and stand the test of time.But somewhere along the way, she had let her parents' influence cloud her judgment, succumbing to their manipulative sche

On the other end, the boss's voice roared with fury, each word laced with a chilling menace that sent shivers down Raphael's spine.

    “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.

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

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.

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.
