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. We'll make sure the truth comes out.” Richard said, his voice convincing.Dexter enters the room also on a call with one of the nosy reporters, “Hello, Dexter here.

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

We have a solid foundation, and it's time to take the next step.”“Of course, Dexter! I couldn't agree more. With the renewed confidence in our company, we have a great opportunity to explore new markets and grow our customer base. But we need to carefully consider the risks and ensure we have a solid plan in place.” Ivy said thoughtfully.“I've been looking into potential acquisitions and partnerships that align with our long term goals.

She knew she couldn’t reveal the true nature of her dealings with Dexter, especially now that things weren't going as planned. “I’m working on it, and it's going smoothly, he finally has started trusting me,” she replied vaguely, hoping to deflect her mother’s probing questions.Her mother’s eyes narrowed with frustration. “That’s not good enough, Ivy. We need to know that Dexter is firmly under your influence before we can proceed with our plan.”Ivy could feel the tension in the room mounting. She knew her mother’s expectations were high, and failing to meet them was not an option.“I’m doing everything I can, also being careful to avoid suspicions.” Ivy insisted,

The plan for revenge with Ivy was tomorrow, Ryan and you had to shoot him? What were you thinking?" Sandy's voice reverberated off the walls, her emotions raw and unfiltered.Her mother, standing nearby, tried to intervene, her soothing voice a stark contrast to Sandy's raging voice. "Sandy, please calm down. Yelling won't solve anything. We need to figure out what to do next."But Sandy's anger refused to be quelled. She turned on Ryan, her eyes flashing with indignation. "How could you lose your temper like that? Yes, I know you have a grudge against Dexter, you could have sorted out your grudge if you were man enough to talk to him, but he didn't d

“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.
