“Now wouldn't it be something if we could be invited to such an occasion?” Priscilla gushed as she and her family prepared to watch the televised event of Fletcher Richmond Snr's burial. It was a must-watch for everyone who knew a thing or two about influence and affluence. “You do realize it's the burial of a person right?” Raphael chuckled, sitting beside his wife. “Oh, whatever! The man lived to a ripe old age and enjoyed his life to the fullest! It's basically a send-off party in my opinion!” Sandy and her new boyfriend Ryan laughed with her parents as they settled into a chair together, a bowl of popcorn between them. “But you're right mum, the kind of connections one would make at such an event –” Sandy shook her head for emphasis, “– Too good!” Raphael chuckled nervously, “But you've got me now babe. I'm sure I have all the connections you could need.” Sandy nodded distractedly as they watched the president of Germany arrive at the venue followed by other presidents and p
Dexter was settling into his new life quite smoothly so far.He'd been very busy familiarising himself with everything he had inherited. Which was a lot of work seeing as he'd inherited a lot.He didn't intend to be a lazy and passive leader, he was going to be actively involved in everything going on in all of his companies as much as he could.Richard Crossing had been with him every step of the way. He'd answered all of his questions and was doing an amazing job guiding Dexter on his journey.And Grandpa Fletcher hadn't lied, he was truly still with him. The man had left several videos, recordings, and handwritten files to aid Dexter in his journey.They basically enumerated all the secrets to keeping the businesses thriving and only Richard knew about them.Dexter spent all his time in a study, listening, watching, and reading the files. He didn't want to make any mistakes.His first step according to his grandfather's counsel was to consolidate his authority. Seeing as many would
“Mum I can't believe we're going to meet him, this feels like a dream,” Sandy whispered excitedly to her mother as they made their entrance into the venue for the dinner party.“Tell me about it,” Priscilla whispered back.A shot of applause went up as it did for each family that arrived. They smiled and made their way to their seats, Ryan in tow with them.“You know, I'm pretty sure it's because of our company that the heir decided to come here first! Our records over the past two years have been outstanding!” Priscilla chipped in as they settled down.“Well, that idea might not be too far-fetched.” Raphael grinned and raised a glass in salute.It wasn't far-fetched indeed. Their family was all the heir could think about as he buttoned up his shirt and adjusted his tie in a room in the hotel where the party was being hosted.A knock sounded on his door,“Come in.”It was Ivy.“Hey. I'm ready. And I just got word that most of the guests have arrived. I believe it's time for you to mak
"I have never been so humiliated in my life!" Raphael Wayne thundered as he and his family barged into the house. He threw his coat onto the floor, his face red with anger and embarrassment. "This wasn’t supposed to happen this way not after all the care we gave him, talk more of the support we showed him, your mother went to all lengths to make sure he got a job in that delivery company to show she cared, but he does this instead!" He continued his eyes red with anger and pain from the embarrassment.Sandy and her mother sat quietly on the couch, Priscilla embittered dried up her tears whilst shaking her head in disbelief. Sandy lost in thoughts, her mind occupied as to how the Richmond heir turned out to be Dexter, the man whom she had just thrown out of her house not long. She had never imagined it to be him remembering all the days she and her family had humiliated and taunted him for having the surname of rich people but having no money or status to uphold the name, and now he
"That’s the only way we can be able to get Dexter, this is the easiest way out, he seems to have a relationship with Ivy," Priscilla said to her daughter as they walked into the room."I doubt mum, things won’t go that smoothly we have to do something to get them interested. We can’t just tell Ivy that way, we need to lure them. How about a dinner party Mum?" Sandy asked."That should go well, I have something to ensure Stephanie comes for the dinner party be rest assured, dear!" Priscilla says as she picks up her mobile phone and dials Stephanie Stannis number.Ring. Ring. Ring."Hello!" A voice on the line belonging to Stephanie Sannis answered."Hey Steph, how have you been? It’s been long since I last heard from you." Priscilla asked coyly putting her phone on speakerphone. "I’m fine, thank you, dear," Stephanie replied."I called to invite you to a dinner party we would be holding here in the house and would like you and your daughter to be present," Priscilla said to her calml
"You look fabulous, where are you going?" Sonia walking into his room and stopping to see Dexter all dressed up."Yeah for a dinner party between the Waynes and Stannis family and I happen to be Ivy’s date." He replied turning for her to get a good look at him."Do I look good or it’s too much Sonia?""Are you nervous? Or is there something I’m missing from all this? Is there something between you and Ivy that I don’t know about? Nothing’s wrong with the outfit Dex you look perfect!""Are you sure?" Turning to face the mirror he checks himself and smiles."You’re okay to go Dex, you look nice and don’t you forget you are the Dexter Richmond, no need to fret at all. Have a nice night." She said to him as she left to her room.Dexter picked up his phone to call Ivy to inform her that he was about coming out to pick her, and ended the call."I’m off guys, will be back soon." He said as he left the house shutting the door."Ahhhhh! I am so pissed by his presence, that wanna-be businessma
"Mum, what the hell are you saying?" Ivy screamed at her mother, jumping up from her seat."Young woman, you will take your seat and listen to me.""No mum, I'm done listening to you. What did master Dexter do to deserve such from you, he has only treated you with respect.""The "why" of the matter is none of your business, you're going to do as I've instructed."Ivy snatched her coat from the chair."Over my dead body!" She stated darkly and made to leave the room."Then consider yourself no longer a member of the company."Ivy stopped in her tracks.Her mother rose up from her chair."I still own five percent more shares than anyone on the board so it doesn't matter if you're CEO. I put you there and I can take you out."Ivy gasped,"What has come over you mum?" She whispered, life drained from her."Will you listen to me now or not?" Ivy's resolve strengthened again,"No mother, if that's what you want me to do, I won't and can't do it. I am master Richmond's liaison with all the
"Since he's already using you as a tool, why not just let him have a taste of his own medicine."Ivy looked at her mother, she was unhappy and it was obvious."But mum, that'll be me jumping into his palms openly isn't that it?" "That's the best way, you hit him when he doesn't suspect, you've finally come to your senses and not that useless delusion of being special to him.""Fine," Ivy replied, her voice edgy.She was hurting but trying to cover up the pain, the truth of her mother's words hit her; Dexter truly didn't care about her, she was just his tool."Vy, Ivy you here?""Yeah mum, what's the plan to bring him down?""It's easy, seducing him, he falls for you and then you strike. It shouldn't be hard; he is already using you as a tool you only have to make him fall for your charm as a woman, make him trust you completely and blindly.""Alright, I'll do it mum, I've still got a little charm in me, so don't worry about it mother." Ivy's resolve getting stronger this time in agr
