"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
"Hello Stephanie, how are you?" Priscilla Wayne said to Stephanie Sannis over the phone."I've been good, Priscilla. Just a little stress from work but all is fine." Her voice was urgent, filled with a sense of determination that Priscilla knew all too well."I have spoken to my daughter, although at first she disagreed but now she's agreed to follow through with the plan." Stephanie said, her tone resolute.Leaning forward on her desk, her brow furrowing with concern."Are you sure she agreed willingly to do this, Stephanie? It's a risky move and we can't afford any missteps.""I understand the risks, Priscilla. And that's why we made it look unsuspecting." Stephanie replied firmly."I've made it clear to her that this is the only way to protect her interests and ensure the company's future." Priscilla sighed, knowing that she had made the right decision manipulating the Stannis, but pretended to show concern."I just worry about the potential consequences. We don't want to put her i
Dexter sat at his desk, the glow of his computer screen illuminating the dimly lit office in his house. He tapped his pen on the desk absentmindedly trying to focus on the sales strategy for the Malibu District head company, but his mind kept drifting back to Ivy.He muttered to himself, "Alright, Dexter. Focus. You need to come up with a solid plan to boost sales in Malibu. But why can't I shake this feeling of distraction?"He stares at his computer screen, trying to gather his thoughts, but his mind kept wandering."Come on, Dexter. Get it together. You've got a team counting on you, and the success of the company depends on your strategy, he said already frustrated with himself. He takes a deep breath, trying to clear his mind and regain focus.“Alright, let's start by analyzing the current market trends and identifying potential growth opportunities, I need to think outside the box and find innovative ways to connect with the customers.” He said, determined.Despite his efforts,
Dexter rushed into the hospital, his heart pounding in his chest. He spotted Mrs. Stannis, in the waiting area and hurried over to her. “Mrs. Stannis, what happened? Is Ivy okay?” Dexter asked, his voice filled with concern.Mrs Stannis' eyes were red and swollen from crying. She looked at Dexter with a mixture of anguish and accusation. “Dexter, where were you? Why wasn't she with you? Sonia was in a car accident, and it's all your fault!”Dexter was taken aback by her words,“Mrs. Stannis, I...I don't understand. What do you mean it's my fault? What happened?”Tears streamed down Mrs. Stannis's face as she spoke.“Ivy got a call from you as she prepared for the office, she quickly left her room hurriedly and rushed for her car to head to the office, that's when it happened. She was so worried after the call, and now she's lying in that hospital because of it.”Dexter felt a pang of guilt and sorrow wash over him although confused over the call part but he chose not to say anything,
