Dexter sat in the stark, fluorescent-lit room, his hands trembling as he listened to the barrage of accusations hurled at him. The police officer's voice had turned sharp and accusatory, devoid of the usual politeness he was accustomed to. Reporters crowded around, their cameras flashing and microphones thrust in his face."You were seen at the scene of the crime," one officer barked, his finger pointed accusingly at Dexter. "What were you doing there?"Dexter's mind raced as he tried to form a coherent response. "I... I never stepped out of my house, my brothers would clear me and I have an alibi." he stammered, his voice barely audible over the clamor of voices.“You were home? Don't play dumb with us," another officer interjected. "We have evidence placing you at the scene. You can't deny it."“But that isn't me, I haven't stepped out of my house since I came back from work. I have been waiting for their arrival.”The reporters joined in, bombarding him with questions and insinuati

Take heart dear, death is inevitable, I have had my own fair share.” Stephanie said as she consoled Priscilla Wayne. The priest started the prayers and everybody's head bowed and said their prayers with the priest.“Dear friends and family, we gather here today to pay our final respects to Raphael Wayne. Let us take a moment to offer our prayers and blessings for his soul.”As the priest begins to bless the coffin, a sudden scream interrupts the solemn atmosphere. Priscilla, overwhelmed with grief, expresses her anguish.“No! Dexter and Richard shouldn't be allowed here! The Richmonds caused my husband's death!”The priest pauses for a moment, acknowledging Priscilla's outburst and the pain she is going through. “Priscilla, I understand that you're hurting right now, but let us try to find solace in this moment of remembrance. We are here to honor Raphael's memory and support one ano

Hoping it would capture the evidence he needed.Just as Ryan turned to leave, his ears perked up at the sound of his own name being mentioned. He froze, his eyes widening in shock as he saw Dexter standing there, a mix of surprise and suspicion etched on his face.

I forgot my flash drive here yesterday. I came to retrieve it." His voice betrayed a hint of nervousness as he tried to maintain composure under Dexter's piercing gaze.Dexter's ex

The news I received earlier has left me unsettled," he confessed, his voice tinged with a hint of sadness.“What news Dexter? What happened?” She asked worriedly.“The culprit who was to be at the press conference, was killed in prison.” He said tired of everything already.Ivy's eyes filled with empathy as she listened intently, realizing that the once joyous dinner had turned into a somber moment.

They knew that they had to tackle the problems and harsh words from shareholders head-on which Dexter had related to them.“Alright, guys, we need to come up with a solid plan to address the issues raised by the shareholders. We can't afford to ignore their concerns." Dexter said his face with signs of worry.“I agree, Dexter. We need to show them that we're taking their word seriously. And that you wouldn't go down without fighting. Let's start by analyzing their specific grievances and finding ways to address them." Richard said supporting Dexter.“I think it's crucial to communicate our long-term vision and strategy to the shareholders.

Dexter's phone rang incessantly, jolting him out of a fitful sleep. He groaned and fumbled for the device, his heart sinking as he saw the number of missed calls and voicemails.

Dexter sat at his desk, his mind in turmoil. He couldn't shake the feeling of betrayal and deceit that had been festering since his meeting with Ivy. The thought of giving up on the inheritance, of walking away from the company that had been his family's legacy, weighed heavily on him."I can't do this," he muttered to himself, his hands gripping the edge of the desk. "I'm bringing humiliation to the company, to my family's name."But as he contemplated giving up, a voice inside him urged him to fight, to uncover the truth and clear his name. It was a battle between his sense of honor and his desire to protect what was rightfully his.Lost in his thoughts, Dexter didn't hear the knock on the door.

Dexter and the police officers arrived at the abandoned factory where James was holding Sonia, Richard, and Ivy hostage.

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.

“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

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.

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. 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
