Heir to the Richmond Empire Chapter 156: This is the CCTV footage!
After the first hearing of Beautrice's death in the court, Richard found himself in a tight spot. 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
Heir to the Richmond Empire Chapter 157: Hey Franklin, I need your help!
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
Heir to the Richmond Empire Chapter 158: My lab has been breached!
Franklin hailed a cab to meet up with Dexter. Dexter had just finished speaking with the chief on the phone, who had informed him about the possibility of Sarah being involved in Beautrice's death."You called for me," Franklin said, stepping into Dexter's office."Yes, Franklin. Why are you doing this? Why are you making Richard suffer?" Dexter inquired, his expression grave."What do you mean? How am I making Richard suffer?" Franklin questioned, confusion evident in his voice."Why was Richard suddenly the prime suspect in Beautrice's death?" Dexter pressed."Because his fingerprints were found all over the dagger that was used in the murder," Franklin replied, his tone defensive."But it's possible for there to be multiple fingerprints on a weapon. Why were you so quick to pin it on Richard?" Dexter probed further, suspicion creeping into his voice.Franklin wasn't prepared to offer any explanations. The safety of his wife and son was still at stake, with their abductors promising
Heir to the Richmond Empire Chapter 159: Flynn is dead!
Franklin tried to stop Jack from pulling the trigger but Jack was adamant. He knew he had to protect Alex by all means and the only way to do that was to make sure that Flynn doesn't get to leave the laboratory.Flynn dared him to pull the trigger if he was really not a coward."You should have known better than to get involved in matters that don't concern you. I hope Dexter is able to save you," Jack said his eyes burning with anger."I don't need Dexter to save me. And even if I don't get to make it out of here alive, I'll be glad because I know that the real murderer of Beautrice has been found.Franklin was surprised to see the level of loyalty that Flynn had for Dexter. It was unlike anything he had ever seen before.He wished he was half the man who Flynn was and could not be easily be swayed but the life of his wife and son were at stake and that was the only way he knew he could get to save them.-----Sonia had finished with her work. She decided to pick her phone and call F
Heir to the Richmond Empire Chapter 160: We know who killed Beautrice
One of the police officers came out with the tape recording that Flynn had installed without Jack's and Franklin's knowledge."We found this," the officer said handing over the small device to the chief. The chief pressed a button and the recorded conversation that took place the whole time that Flynn was in the laboratory played to his hearing."Hey, Dexter, there's something I want you to listen to," the chief called out to him. All efforts to speak with Sonia had proved futile as she wasn't ready to listen to him. He had to go to the chief to hear what it was that he wanted him to hear.The chief played the recording and as Dexter listened, a feeling of guilt washed over him. He couldn't believe Flynn had gone to such extent to prove Richard's innocence. The voice recording was enough evidence to prove that Richard wasn't the one who killed Beautrice."Now we know who killed Beautrice," the chief remarked as the recording came to an end."Yes we do," Dexter replied. The screeching
Heir to the Richmond Empire Chapter 161: We're taking Dexter down tonight!
As the sounds of "jingle bells" were heard on the eve of Christmas, the tears of all who loved Flynn also filled the place. It was a heart wrenching funeral leaving all who attended in tears. Lacey, Flynn's younger sister couldn't believe that her beloved brother was no more. She blamed herself for Flynn's death."I asked him to go back. He wanted to buy a land and farm with it to live a peaceful and quiet life but I asked him to go back to the woman he loved." Lacey cried.Sonia couldn't hold back her tears as Lacey's cry filed the place. She closed Lacey in a warm embrace consoling her but Lacey wouldn't listen as she continued crying.Everyone in their sober state watched as Flynn's coffin was lowered into the grave."I'm sorry for the loss," Dexter heard someone say.He turned around and saw Sandy. He wasn't expecting to see her at Flynn's funeral but he was grateful all the same that she had come around."Thank you," Dexter replied.Mrs Stannins was with Ivy who was sitting on a
Heir to the Richmond Empire Chapter 162: Please don't hurt Lacey!
Upon arriving home, Dexter walked Sonia and Lacey to Sonia's room. He ensured they rested before leaving to his room. The following morning would be Christmas which would be one of the worst Christmas he'll ever have. Returning to his room, he fell on his bed his eyes looking towards the ceiling. With everything that has been happening within the Richmond's empire, his fear only increased. The thought of everyone he worked with betraying him, hit him hard like a tonne of bricks. He didn't know whom to trust anymore. First it was Beautrice stealing the D-VEX drive from his office and now it was Sarah taking sides with the people who had killed Beautrice. If not for Flynn no one would have been able to find out who really killed Beautrice. While he was in his deep thoughts, his phone rang and it was Sandy calling. He was surprised to see Sandy calling. He noticed he had been receiving calls from Sandy quite often but that was not a problem. He could only wonder why Sandy had decided
Heir to the Richmond Empire Chapter 163: Nothing bad will happen to you
Sandy arrived at Dexter's place only to meet the chief of police and some other police officers at the mansion. From the look of things, it appeared as though something bad had happened around the mansion. "What's going on here?" She asked Sonia who ignored her question. Sonia had never liked Sandy and seeing her at the mansion uninvited and in the middle of such chaos raised up questions within her but she just ignored and brushed past her. "Dexter had been kidnapped," the chief replied in Sonia's place. Sandy wasn't really surprised. She already knew who was behind it from the phone call she had answered earlier. "When did you notice he was kidnapped?" Sandy asked. "Just this evening. He wasn't the only one who was kidnapped. Someone else was taken too," the chief replied. "Who?" Sandy asked but the chief wasn't able to reply her before a fellow officer called his attention to something. Richard too had come. Hearing that Dexter had been kidnapped came as a surprise to

Chapter 186: We can find a way out of this
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?" Dexter asked, his voice filled with surprise and concern as he saw his mother stepping into danger with her eyes wide open."It's time to end this," Katherine replied, a short-lived smile tugging at the corners of her lips.Dexter tried to move closer, intent on stopping

“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

Chapter 184: You've got till the end of today
Raphael and Priscilla finally faced trial and the court found both of them guilty of all the crimes they were accused of. Raphael got a jail term of twenty years while Priscilla got a life time imprisonment sentence. Dexter couldn't hide how sorry he felt for them seeing how pathetic both of them eventually ended. But there was nothing he could do about it. They've broken so many laws and it was just right that the two of them face the consequences of their actions. It was the day before the U.S presidential elections and in every part of the country, one could notice the euphoria in the atmosphere over the forthcoming elections which was marked by a palpable sense of anticipation and tension. Across the country, campaign offices buzzed with activity as volunteers made last-minute phone calls and knocked on doors, urging every potential voter to cast their ballot. Television screens in homes, bars, and restaurants displayed a constant stream of political advertisements, pundit ana

"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

Chapter 182: Raphael and Priscilla, arrested!
The news of James' escape spread like wildfire throughout the entire region. Dexter had issued strict instructions to the chief, emphasizing the need to leave no stone unturned in ensuring James was apprehended and brought to justice. When Raphael and Priscilla learned of James' escape and subsequent disappearance, they couldn't shake the feeling that the boss had orchestrated his escape. It dawned on them that they had been mere pawns in a much larger game, manipulated by the boss all along. As the days passed, Sandy was finally laid to rest in a somber ceremony attended by those who loved her. The atmosphere was heavy with grief and reflection. Standing by her graveside, Raphael and Priscilla shared a moment of quiet contemplation. The weight of recent events and the realization of their manipulation by the boss had taken a toll on them. In the wake of Sandy's funeral, Raphael and Priscilla made a momentous decision. They resolved to end their long-standing feud with Dexter. The

Chapter 181: Our enemies are Dexter and his mother
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

The ambulance arrived blaring it's siren with the paramedics rushing out to convey Sandy in a stretcher while the police took James, Jack and Alex away.Dexter and Lacey went with the team of paramedics to the hospital. 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. Dexter's heart raced with different thoughts.“Who was it that could have made an attempt on his life?” He thought.It wasn't long after that Priscilla and Raphael arrived a
