Raphael and Priscilla Wayne have heard of the sudden disappearance of Dexter but that wasn't their concern. What really matters to them was the fact that their own daughter Sandy was still missing. They've reported to the police to help them look for Sandy and to do everything within their power to make sure nothing bad happens to them.Sonia too, had asked the police to continue their search for Lacey. The news on Dexter's disappearance had almost made them forgotten that Lacey was also missing. Since there was no evidence confirming that she was in the warehouse with Dexter when it was set ablaze, Sonia knew for sure that Lacey was still in the custody of her abductors.“I know for sure that my father and brothers are involved in Dexter's and Lacey's disappearance,” Sonia had told the chief.It's been three days since the warehouse was set ablaze and there's been no news on Dexter and Lacey and with Sandy missing too, it was hard not to suspect James and the twins.“Mom, can we go t
Victor assumed the position of chairman of the company the following day. It was a dream come true for him as he regaled himself in the frenzy of his newly attained position.He was in his office putting a few things together when he heard a knock on the door.“Come in,” he said ushering in Sonia.“Miss Richmond,” he greeted surprised to see Sonia drop by his office that morning.“What do you think you're doing?” Sonia asked, fuming with anger. “Dexter hasn't been confirmed dead yet and you already stepping in to replace him,” she spat angrily.“I beg your pardon miss Richmond..”“It's Sonia,” Sonia corrected angrily.“I beg your pardon miss Sonia but I won't take this from you. Your family might own the largest share in this company but that doesn't mean the world revolves around them,” Victor replied, his own anger palpable.“What did you just say?” Sonia asked unable to understand what Victor meant by what he has said.“You heard me right Sonia. The decision to make me the chairman
“When am I going to be free? I need to return home and set things right,” Dexter said to the woman whose face was turned away from him in a dark part of the room where she remained unidentified.Since the day Dexter arrived at her place, he hadn't seen her face. Whenever she wanted to talk to Dexter, she'll move towards the dark corner of the room always turning her face away from him.“Very soon Dexter. You should know you can't just return without a plan,” the woman replied.“Who are you exactly and why are you helping me?” Dexter asked.“I'm someone who cares about you so much. Someone who really loves you but couldn't show you that love when I had the chance to do so.” The woman replied.Dexter was surprised to hear the woman say those words. All his life, no one had lived in such a way that made him shut his heart. Even with Ivy, he was always expecting the worse from her especially after what happened between him and Sandy.“But the longer I stay here, the more things are fallin
Dexter's eyes widened as the revelation hit him hard like a ton of bricks.“Yes Dexter. I'm your mother,” Katherine's expression softened, revealing a tender-hearted woman who suddenly seemed different from the woman who had been giving orders just moments ago.Dexter was not yet convinced by her sudden revelation. All his life, he had been made to believe that his mother had abandoned him, and seeing a strange woman claim to be his mother didn't sit well with him."What did you just say?" Dexter's voice trembled with disbelief as he struggled to process the shocking revelation."Yes, Dexter. I'm your mother," Katherine repeated, her tone gentle yet firm, as if trying to reassure him.Dexter's mind raced, grappling with a whirlwind of conflicting emotions. Memories of his childhood flooded back—the longing for a mother's love, the unanswered questions about her absence, and the pain of feeling abandoned. Now, faced with the possibility that his mother might be alive after all these ye
“Where are we going to, mom?” Dexter asked as the car drove them through the busy streets that night.“To meet some people you'll be needing their help to win this war with your uncle James,” Katherine replied.They soon arrived at the place and the car parked in front of a mansion, one as big as the Richmond's mansion itself.Dexter was surprised to see such a beautiful edifice that could compete with the Richmond's mansion. He couldn't help but wonder who it was that they've come to visit in that palace.Entering into the mansion, he was greeted by the presence of some of the notable world leaders. The president of the United States president Jason Franklin, the prime minister of Britain, prime minister Boris Churchill and the president of the United Nations were all gathered there.“Good evening Mrs Richmond,” They all greeted as they shook hands with Katherine.Dexter was surprised at the level of influence his mother had to have been able to host such calibre of people for a me
“James might be a part of the Coalition but he's also family. We'll handle him like family too.” Katherine replied.Dexter acknowledged her response with a gentle nod as the meeting continued.“What about Sandy Wayne and Lacey Norris?” Katherine inquired.Dexter's eyes almost popped out of their sockets at the mention of the names of both Sandy and Lacey. Firstly, he had almost forgotten that Lacey and Sandy had been kidnapped alongside him and that the last time he saw them was the day the warehouse was set ablaze by his uncle Richard. Another reason for her surprise was how his mother got to know so much about everyone connected to Richmond's empire.He turned towards the general waiting to hear what he had to say concerning Sandy and Lacey.“From our intelligence agency reports, Raphael and Priscilla Wayne have informed the police that their daughter is missing and the police are already looking for her but without any trace as to where they can find her,” The general's eyes bore i
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
“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
