The room fell silent, the air heavy with anticipation, as her mother took a deep breath and began to speak.“I had only found out a week ago, Sandy. I got a strange call from a number and it turned out to be your dad, I was surprised but then he asked me not to reveal this to anyone.

As he entered his home, he was greeted by his cousin brothers, who seemed to be engrossed in their own conversation. However, the presence of the strange man caught Dexter's attention.“Hey, guys. What's going on here.”His cousin brothers glanced at Dexter briefly before returning to their conversation, seemingly uninterested in his arrival. The strange man, with a mocking tone in his voice, beckoned Dexter to join him.“Well, well, well. Look who decided to grace us with his presence. Why don't you have a seat, Dexter?”Dexter, slightly taken aback by the strange man's demeanor, cautiously took a seat opposite him. “Alright, what's this about? Why are you here?”The strange man smirked, relishing in the discomfort he was causing Dexter.“Oh, Dexter, you always were one to think you're better than the rest of your cousins, I just thought it would be amusing to remind you of your place.”Dexter'

Heir to the Richmond Empire Chapter 54: No, Father!
James Richmond sat in the family living room with his two sons, discussing their plan to manipulate Dexter, their main target. "I've been thinking about how to gain Dexter's trust," James said, leaning back in his chair. "I believe the best approach is to appear as a friend, uncle and mentor to him, someone he can rely on."His older son, Jack, raised an eyebrow. "But Dexter is no fool, Father. He's smart and suspicious of everyone around him. How do you plan to sway him without raising his suspicions?"James smirked confidently. "I may be the main villain in this game, but I assure you, I am no amateur. I know how to play the long game and manipulate people without them even realizing it."His younger son, Alex, nodded in agreement. "He's right, Marcus. We need to trust Father's expertise in this matter. He's gotten us out of sticky situations before."James looked at his sons with a steely gaze. "We need to be patient and strategic. Dexter won't see us coming until it's too late."

You can't pass up on this opportunity to get back what we own.”Sandy shook her head, feeling a mix of anger and exasperation. "But what if i say no, Mom? What then? Now we have all these wedding cards and no wedding!"Her mother reached out and took Sandy's hands in hers. "I understand, sweetheart. But I believe in you, and I know you won't say no, we are already miserable as it is. I just wanted to show my support for you and let you know that I'm here for you no matter what."Sandy took a deep breath, her anger subsiding as she looked into her mother's eyes. “Support, you call this support no mum you're pushing me to hell. Her mother nodded, understanding why Sandy wa

People were coming and going, and the air was filled with the sound of ringing phones and urgent conversations. He made his way inside to the desk officer, carefully holding onto the file he had obtained from Dexter.Suddenly, a man dressed in black bumped into him, causing Richard to stumble and nearly drop the file. "Hey, watch it!" he exclaimed, but the man simply muttered a quick apology and hurriedly made his way out of the station. Richard couldn't shake off the feeling that something was off, but he brushed it aside and continued on his way.Approaching the front desk, Richard caught the attention of one of the officers on duty. "Excuse me," he said, "I need to speak with the chief of police. It's urgent." The officer nodded and picked up the phone to make a call.

Dexter's phone buzzed incessantly, rousing him from a fitful sleep. He groggily reached for it, squinting at the screen to see a flurry of missed calls and urgent messages.

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

“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.

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.
