James stood up from the chairman's seat, his expression was a mix of anger and forced smiles as Dexter approached. The tension in the room was palpable as Dexter exchanged greetings, his face set with determination.Dexter wasted no time getting down to business. "Why do you want to bring back the F-X plan?" he questioned the executives, his voice firm and unwavering. "Lives were lost because of this plan."Before anyone could respond, James, Dexter's uncle, interrupted with a stern tone. "Dexter, you should not involve the past in the present. We are here to discuss the future of the company, not dwell on what has already happened."Dexter's jaw clenched, but he maintained his composure. "The past is relevant when it comes to making decisions that could impact lives," he retorted, his voice tinged with frustration.The executives shifted uncomfortably in their seats, exchanging nervous glances. The room was filled with an uneasy silence as the weight of Dexter's words hung in the air
As they entered Dexter's office, Dexter swiftly joined the two recordings on a flash drive and handed it to Richard. "I need you to give this to the chief of police," Dexter said with a serious tone.Confused, Richard asked, "But why? The police closed the case, didn't they?"Dexter hesitated before responding, "There's been a development. I just found out today that someone has been impersonating the chief of police. It's imperative that the real chief sees this."Richard's eyes widened in shock as he processed the information. "Wait, so you're saying all the information we've been giving has been going to the wrong person?" he exclaimed.Dexter nodded gravely. "Yes, it seems that way. We need to rectify this immediately."Richard realized that all the reports and evidence they had gathered concerning Dexter's case may not have been properly reviewed. The gravity of the situation began to sink in as they discussed their next steps.Dexter sat at his desk, deep in thought as he proces
Dexter was about to reply, but his phone rang, cutting him off mid-sentence. He pulled out his phone and glanced at the caller ID. It was from a private number, but as he looked closer, he realized it was from the prime minister. With a sense of urgency, he picked up the call, excusing himself from Ivy for a moment."Hello, this is Dexter, who am I speaking with?" he greeted, his voice polite and professional."Hello, Dexter. This is Prime Minister Raj Raunak. I hope I'm not catching you at a bad time," the prime minister's voice came through the phone, smooth and authoritative.Dexter reciprocated the greeting and exchanged pleasantries with the price minister. After a moment, he couldn't help but ask, "Prime Minister, to what do I owe the honor of this call?"The prime minister hesitated for a moment before replying, "I would like to extend an invitation for you to visit me at the government house."Dexter chuckled lightly in disbelief. "A visit? Prime Minister, this is quite unexpe
As they continued their conversation, the ambiance of the restaurant enveloped them. The soft glow of the candlelight illuminated their faces, casting a warm and intimate atmosphere around them. The clinking of cutlery and the murmurs of other diners provided a gentle background soundtrack to their heartfelt exchange. Despite the weight of the topic at hand, there was a sense of calm and understanding between Ivy and Dexter.After the meal, Dexter paid up the bills and the walked outside leaving the restaurant, Ivy and Dexter walked hand in hand to his car. Dexter turned to Ivy and asked“Ivy, I was thinking, more like wondering, would you like to go with me to my place, so we could spend quality time together?”Ivy looks at him, her face turning a lighter shade of red. She contemplates then asks Dexter, “So, what would we do at your place, still discuss work because that's all we ever do!” She laughs as she talks.“Guilty as charged, but we won't babe; I promise” Dexter said holding
As she held her cheek in pain, the sting of the blow still fresh, she stood her ground and faced Alex and Jack with a fierce determination. "You may be my brothers," she spat out, "but you are worse than the devil." Her words were laced with bitterness and frustration as she continued, "Let Dexter be. He didn't choose to become heir himself."She continued not caring what happens next, "If you had put your heads together and supported him, this hunger and thirst for power would never have driven you both to this point."Jack's face boiled with anger as he glared at his sister, clenching his fists in frustration. He struggled to contain his rage, knowing that if he lashed out, she would be badly injured.Amidst the tension, they all exchanged angry glances, consumed by their own emotions. Unnoticed by the seething trio, Dexter's arrival was announced by the sound of approaching footsteps outside Alex's room where they were all gathered.Sonia, still nursing her cheek, opened the door
"I'll see you at the office, Richard." He ends the call, his attention turning to Ivy. With a warm smile, he rises from his seat, crossing the room with purpose. Without a word, he retrieves a loose, comfortable shirt and a pair of shorts from his wardrobe, handing them to Ivy with a gentle, reassuring gesture.Taking Ivy's hand, he leads her to his spacious bathroom, his demeanor a blend of warmth and consideration. Ivy, acknowledging the gesture with a grateful nod, expresses her thanks before entering the bathroom. Meanwhile, Dexter leaves the room, his steps carrying an air of thoughtful consideration.Before leaving, Dexter turns to Ivy, his voice carrying a gentle warmth as he offers an invitation, his words laden with hospitality and kindness.“When you're done, come downstairs for a light snack. I'll be waiting."Downstairs as he brings out the popcorn, he calls out to Sonia."Sonia, come out, I've made some popcorn and got some fruit juice!" emerging from her room with swoll
“So, you're heading to India today? That's quite sudden.”“Yeah, I know it seems sudden, but I have to go. It's crucial for me to gather more information about my parents and Uncle James regarding the F-X plan. I can't let this opportunity slip away.”“I understand your determination, Dexter. But I can't help but worry. It feels like another setup, just like before.”“I get why you're concerned, Ivy. But this time, I assure you, I haven't had any previous dealings with India. I don't think anyone there would have a reason to harm me. I'll be cautious and take necessary precautions.”Ivy nods, trusting Dexter's judgment. Dexter excuses himself and heads to the bathroom to freshen up before leaving. When he returns, he finds Ivy still there smiling at her.“Ivy, you're welcome to stay here if you want to. But if you like going home, let Sonia drop you off.”Dexter quickly packs his bag and heads towards his car, ready to leave for India. Ivy contemplates her options, knowing that whatev
Dexter's eyes widened in shock as he stared at the message on his phone. Richard, noticing Dexter's distress, turned to him and asked, "What's the matter, Dexter?"Dexter took a deep breath and replied, "I just received a message saying that Ivy is missing."Alarmed, Richard urged Dexter to call Stephanie, Ivy's mother. Dexter quickly dialed Stephanie’s number, but there was no answer. Frustrated and worried, he then tried calling Ivy's mother, but she too did not pick up."We need to get home right away," Dexter said anxiously to Richard. "We have to stop at the closest airport and catch the next flight back."Richard turning to him says "Dexter stoping at the closest airport is not the best option, right now let's handle the issue in India first, I understand perfectly the urgency of the situation."Dexter's hands shook as he scrolled through his phone, his mind racing with worry for Ivy. Richard, sensing his friend's distress, finished reading the messages on his own phone and turn
