Seconds later, Dexter's phone rang, it was Sandy picking it, Rapheal came on the line.Dexter's heart raced as he listened to Raphael's chilling words. He struggled to keep his voice steady as he pleaded, "Please, Raphael, don't do this. There has to be another way."Raphael's chuckle sent a shiver down Dexter's spine. "There is no other way, Dexter. You are a collateral for Ivy's life. It's as simple as that."Dexter's mind raced, trying to find a solution. "What is it that you want? Money? Power? I'll give you whatever it takes to keep Ivy safe."Raphael's voice turned cold and menacing. "There's really not much you can do, you only have to do as the prime minister says or else Ivy will get more prices on your behalf. You would
However, before he could delve into the details, the door suddenly swung open, and a young woman entered the room. Dexter, taken aback, asked her who she was."I'm Mirai Raunak, the prime minister's daughter," she said with a smile. "I'm his only child."Dexter couldn't help but compliment her beauty, “you really are beautiful and kind like I've heard, don't you think so Richard?” He said, causing her to blush in response. After serving the tea, the prime minister asked his daughter to leave,“Mr. Richmond I appreciate your visit to our country, I hope you enjoy your stay here as India is a beautiful and peaceful place. Please forgive my father for making you all come here.” She said smiling before exiting the room.<
Dexter looked confused and frustrated as he confronted the Prime Minister, asking, "Why did you bring me all the way to India?" His voice was filled with exasperation, showing just how puzzled he was by the situation.Meanwhile, Richard sat in deep thought, furrowing his brow as he carefully calculated something important. It was clear that he was trying to make sense of the Prime Minister's actions, searching for the underlying motives behind them.The Prime Minister, keeping a composed demeanor, locked eyes with Dexter and calmly explained, "I simply wanted a peaceful exchange — the truth in exchange for my daughter's hand in marriage."Dexter's disbelief turned into defiance as he firmly declared, "I can't marry the Prime Minister's daughter for such a flimsy deal,
Standing up, the Prime Minister addressed Dexter. "I warned you," he said sternly. "This is not your territory. You have no authority here. Your name means nothing without connections. In India, you are nobody."Dexter clenched his fists and took a step forward, glaring at the Prime Minister. "I'll remember this," he said through gritted teeth. "You'll regret not being truthful to me."Richard quickly intervened, whispering in Dexter's ear and guiding him away.Before getting to the office door, Dexter stopped in his tracks and turned back to the table, his eyes flashing with determination. He picked up the documents, his hands shaking with anger as he glared at the Prime Minister. The Prime Minister's smile widened as he watched Dexter's actions, confident that he had
As they made their way to the police station, Dexter and Richard followed the lead police officer to his car. Dexter, wanting to maintain a sense of dignity, agreed to ride in his own car with the police officer driving. He watched in shock as the prime minister was carried out of his office, bloodied and in need of immediate medical attention. The gravity of the situation weighed heavily on Dexter's mind as he struggled to comprehend the events that had unfolded.The chief of police answered a call on his phone, and Richard noticed a hint of fear in his voice as he spoke to the person on the other end. After ending the call, the chief informed Dexter that he would be driving them himself. Dexter, still reeling from the recent events, remained silent and simply nodded in agreement, not wanting to add any more stress to an already tumultuous situation. The police officer returned to his desk, a sense of unease lingering in the air. He couldn't quite place the feeling he got from Dexter, but it was clear that he was intimidated by Richard. Sitting down, he tried to shake off the discomfort and focused on his paperwork, but his mind kept drifting back to the strange dynamic between the two men in the cell. Inside the cell, Richard finally seized the opportunity to speak to Dexter. Leaning in close, he spoke in hushed tones, urgency evident in his voice. "Dexter, listen to me. The only way out of this cell and out of India is to play dumb. We need to follow the wishes of the prime minister." Dexter's eyes widened in confusion. "What do you mean?" Richard took a deep breath and explained, "The prime minister wants a partnership with you, but through marriage. He wants you to marry his daughter, Mirai." Dexter's disbelief was palpable as he processeHeir to the Richmond Empire Chapter 97: The Prime Minister’s Daughter!
Dexter leaned back in his seat, a sly grin on his face as he taunted the lawyer. "You'd be doing yourself a favor if you went to get the prime minister," he said, his voice dripping with sarcasm. "And by the way, has that fake blood from the gunshot wound healed yet?"Before he could continue his mocking, the chief of police entered the room and made a beeline for Dexter. "Can I use your name without the Richmond in it?" he asked, his voice carrying a hint of authority. Dexter nodded in response, and the chief of police went on to comment that calling everyone else a puppet didn't exempt Dexter from being one himself, especially to his own name. Dexter let out a laugh and settled back into his seat in the cell."I await the arrival of the Prime Minister and Mr. Kapoor," Dexter announced, looking directly at the chief of police. "Please leave." The chief of police shot him a look of pure rage, then turned to the lawyer and gave a subtle nod, signaling for him to depart. As the lawyer l
Inside the taxi, Dexter leaned forward and instructed the driver to head to the hospital. The driver, a middle-aged man with a weathered face, furrowed his brow and asked, "Which hospital?"Dexter hesitated for a moment, then decided to change his destination. "Actually, take me to the government house," he said, trying to sound casual.The taxi driver shot him a suspicious look through the rear-view mirror. "Why the sudden change? What's going on?"Dexter quickly reassured him, "It's nothing nefarious, I assure you. It's just a change of plans."The driver nodded, albeit reluctantly, and steered the car towards the government house. Dexter sat back, his mind racing with possibilities. He needed to find Ivy and ensure she fell for him, but he also had to get information about the prime minister's condition.As they arrived at the government house, Dexter asked the driver to wait for him. He stepped out of the taxi and confidently walked towards the entrance. Inside, he introduced hims
