"I thought I told Sonia I'd be home soon."Sonia exchanged a meaningful glance with Richard before speaking up. "This isn't just about you, Dexter. It's about Ivy," she explained, her words heavy with unspoken implications."I'm yet to believe what you told me about the doctor's report." Richard said."It's true, Richard," he confirmed solemnly. "Ivy's condition isn't good."Richard's anger flared at the confirmation, his resolve hardening as he spoke. "Then it's time we dig in deep and find out who really did this to Ivy," he declared. "We can't just sit back and allow her to suffer like this."Dexter immediately recalled his encounter with Sandy at the café, "I think I know who was responsible for Ivy's abduction and how she got the injury in her head that landed her in the

Sandy excused Victor and went to meet Dexter and Richard, her attempt at cordiality met with frosty reception."You didn't tell me you'd be coming," Sandy said with forced politeness."I don't see the reason why I should," Dexter retorted curtly, his demeanor aloof as he brushed past her. Richard followed suit, his silence echoing Dexter's indifference.Sandy's heart quickened at their dismissive attitudes, a sense of foreboding settling over her like a shroud. But she pushed aside her apprehension, determined to maintain a façade of composure in the face of their disdain."Heard Ivy's finally awake," Sandy remarked casually.Dexter's footsteps faltered at the mention of Ivy's name, his gaze piercing as he turned to face Sandy. "And how did you find out?" he inquired."I don't see the reason why I should tell you," she retorted defiantly, her words laced with defiance as she turned on her heel and made her way to join the other guests.Everyone was already seated in the grand hall whe

And why is your name listed as the chairman of the mall?" she demanded, her voice laced with frustration.Victor's patience wore thin as he faced Priscilla's relentless questioning. His voice, now tinged with anger, cut throug

Dexter returned home that evening feeling fulfilled. Although the words of Sandy kept ringing in his ears, he didn't want to dwell too much on them. "Are you okay?" Richard asked, seeing through him that he was somehow bothered."Yes I am." Dexter replied after which he dismissed Richard and asked him to go home. The following day would be the meeting scheduled with the members of the board at Richmond's to decide the next chairman of the company.

Dexter stepped into the boardroom, his presence commanding attention as he made his way to his seat. The familiar surroundings brought a rush of memories flooding back, reminding him of how long he had been away from the board's meetings. His gaze met with Jack's, who sat at the opposite end of the table, wearing his trademark mischievous smile. Dexter couldn't help but raise an eyebrow at Jack's expression, wondering what antics he had up his sleeve this time. Glancing around the table, Dexter noted that every other board member was present, their faces a mix of anticipation and curiosity as they awaited the arrival of the final member. "Who are we waiting for?" Dexter asked a fellow board member who sat by his side."It's Victor Smith." The gentleman replied. Dexter was taken aback by the revelation but then he realised that agreeing to sign the documents for Victor to take over all properties that were in Ryan's name also meant him being a member of the board of directors at Ric

James demanded."It's Beatrice," Alex confessed, his voice trembling with remorse. "I didn't intend to, Dad. It was a mistake. Please, you have to help me."Jack couldn't understand what was going as he tried to make sense of the unthinkable. Beatrice— the same woman who had aided them in retrieving D-VEX drive from Dexter's office being killed by Alex wasn't adding up.Desperate for answers, Jack pressed Alex for an explanation. "What happened? How could this happen?"Alex's voice cracked as he recounted the tragic events that had unfolded between him and Beatrice. "Beatrice threatened to expose me to Dexter," he explained.

I'm well aware of your role as the forensic detective assigned to the case of Beautrice Morgan's untimely death," the voice replied."Yes, that's correct. Do you have information relevant to the investigation?" Franklin decided to ask."Not quite, Franklin. I'm here to offer you a piece of advice: withhold your findings," the voice urged, its sinister intent palpable."And why would I entertain such a suggestion?" Franklin asked."Because, Franklin, failure to comply will result in dire consequences. You have precisely one hour to hand over your analysis, or you'll bid farewell to y

“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.

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.

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
