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

"I heard you're meeting with Mr Chong Wei." Sonia began."Yes, I am," Dexter replied. "Is something wrong?" He inquired further."Yes Dexter. This is not the first time Mr Chong Wei is seeking partnership with Richmond's. He's not a trust worthy businessman." Sonia replied."What do you mean?" Dexter probed. He knew Sonia wasn't the type who'd just accuse a person without concrete evidence."Here. Go through it," Sonia replied handing him some documents."What's this?" Dexter asked furrowing his brow."Just go through it Dexter and you'll find out." Sonia replied.Dexter opened the documents, the revelations contained in it, leaving him in total surprise."You mean his real name isn't Chong Wei?"

The evidence stacked against him were so convincing, pointing to him as the murderer, especially with his fingerprints discovered on the dagger which was used to carry out the cold blooded murder. He couldn't wrap his head around how they got there.His lawyer, sensing the gravity of the situation, probed, "Is there anything, Richard, anything at all that might shed light on your innocence? Any detail, no matter how small?"Richard shook his head in frustration, "I wish I knew. But that morning, when the police showed up, it was like waking up in a fog. Something felt off, but I couldn't put my finger on it. I really wish I could remember but I can't."His lawyer furrowed his brow, contemplating Richard's words. It was a puzzle they needed to solve, and time was running out. The second hearing had been scheduled to take place the following week and if they don't get enough evidence to prov

Dexter couldn't attend Richard's first hearing in court. He had gone to the hospital with Ivy on an appointment with her physiotherapist. She was gradually recovering and Dexter was glad to know that she'll be back to her old self in no time. His only fear was if she'd ever recall what had led to her kidnapping and those who were responsible.Stephanie was glad to see the support that Dexter was offering her daughter. She felt bad that she had said a lot of hurtful words to Dexter during the time that Ivy was in the hospital."I'm really sorry for all the hurtful words I said to you at the hospital," Stephanie apologized."It's fine miss Stannins. I hold no grudge. I just want you to know that I care about as much as you do if not even more." Dexter assured her with a warm smile.After spending a few more hours with Ivy, who was still struggling to recognise him as her fiance, he returned to the office. He had a meeting with the board of directors and after that, he still had to meet

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. With a determined look, she made her way into the factory, hoping to defuse the situation before it was too late."Mother, where do you think you are going?"

“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. 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.
