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
Dexter and the police officers arrived at the abandoned factory where James was holding Sonia, Richard, and Ivy hostage. The officers closed in, weapons drawn, shouting commands for James to stop and surrender. But James had already made up his mind."I'll blow up this whole place, and we'll all die together," he threatened, clutching the remote control tightly, his eyes wild with determination.Katherine, recognizing the seriousness of James's threat and the extent to which he was willing to go for his revenge, stepped out from the midst of the police officers. With a determined look, she made her way into the factory, hoping to defuse the situation before it was too late."Mother, where do you think you are going?" Dexter asked, his voice filled with surprise and concern as he saw his mother stepping into danger with her eyes wide open."It's time to end this," Katherine replied, a short-lived smile tugging at the corners of her lips.Dexter tried to move closer, intent on stopping
“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 finally faced trial and the court found both of them guilty of all the crimes they were accused of. Raphael got a jail term of twenty years while Priscilla got a life time imprisonment sentence. Dexter couldn't hide how sorry he felt for them seeing how pathetic both of them eventually ended. But there was nothing he could do about it. They've broken so many laws and it was just right that the two of them face the consequences of their actions. It was the day before the U.S presidential elections and in every part of the country, one could notice the euphoria in the atmosphere over the forthcoming elections which was marked by a palpable sense of anticipation and tension. Across the country, campaign offices buzzed with activity as volunteers made last-minute phone calls and knocked on doors, urging every potential voter to cast their ballot. Television screens in homes, bars, and restaurants displayed a constant stream of political advertisements, pundit ana
"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
The news of James' escape spread like wildfire throughout the entire region. Dexter had issued strict instructions to the chief, emphasizing the need to leave no stone unturned in ensuring James was apprehended and brought to justice. When Raphael and Priscilla learned of James' escape and subsequent disappearance, they couldn't shake the feeling that the boss had orchestrated his escape. It dawned on them that they had been mere pawns in a much larger game, manipulated by the boss all along. As the days passed, Sandy was finally laid to rest in a somber ceremony attended by those who loved her. The atmosphere was heavy with grief and reflection. Standing by her graveside, Raphael and Priscilla shared a moment of quiet contemplation. The weight of recent events and the realization of their manipulation by the boss had taken a toll on them. In the wake of Sandy's funeral, Raphael and Priscilla made a momentous decision. They resolved to end their long-standing feud with Dexter. The
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. The fact that the two of them would become inlaws soon was a matter of concern to him. He
Katherine and Dexter entered into the room to see every mourning. He approached Priscilla with his own bouquet of flower offering his sympathy to her.Katherine too offered her sympathy causing everyone except Stephanie to wonder who she was and why she was with Dexter.“Katherine!” Stephanie exclaimed, upon recognizing her as Dexter's mother and her once upon a time friend.“You know her?” Ivy inquired, her curiosity piqued.“Yes dear. 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
The ambulance arrived blaring it's siren with the paramedics rushing out to convey Sandy in a stretcher while the police took James, Jack and Alex away.Dexter and Lacey went with the team of paramedics to the hospital. 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. Dexter's heart raced with different thoughts.“Who was it that could have made an attempt on his life?” He thought.It wasn't long after that Priscilla and Raphael arrived a
