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 processeDexter 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
The prime minister's eyes narrowed as Dexter broached the topic of the F-X plan and the plane crash involving his father. "Is that why you agreed to marry my daughter? To interrogate me about my involvement in those incidents?" he snapped, his voice filled with a mix of anger and suspicion. Dexter held his ground, meeting the prime minister's fiery gaze with unwavering determination. "No, sir. I agreed to marry Mirai because I care for her and want to support her in any way I can," he replied, his tone steady and earnest. "But I also need to know the truth about what happened to my father and the F-X plan. I need to understand the full extent of your involvement." The prime minister's expression softened slightly, a flicker of regret crossing his features. "I can't discuss that with you, Dexter. There are things you don't understand," he said, his voice tinged with sorrow. Dexter's resolve remained unshaken. "I need to understand, sir. For my own peace of mind and for the sake of my
Sandy's eyes blazed with fury as she fixed her gaze on the boss. "Whatever happens in the course of this plan, if it goes wrong, you'll have to bear it alone," she spat out, her voice trembling with anger. "I know what Dexter is capable of. He won't just sit back and be a puppet to the prime minister."The boss shifted uncomfortably in his chair, his expression hardening. "You seem to forget where you belong. You better do as you are told if you wish to see the end of everything we're doing," he warned, his voice low and menacing.Sandy's lips curled into a sneer as she interrupted him with a mocking laugh. "Don't you dare threaten me," she retorted. "If anything happens to Ivy, I won't beg for mercy from Dexter. I'll make you do it on our behalf. Like Dexter would say, we're all just puppets hungry for power."The boss's face turned red with anger as he leaned forward, his voice rising to a shout. "Get out of my office! And don't you dare barge into my office next time without knocki
Dexter was all set for his date with Mirai. It was a very dangerous game he was playing but he knew what was at stake if he didn't dance to the tune of the prime minister. His agreement to marry the prime minister's daughter was a necessary step to leaving India, getting the information he was seeking regarding the F-X plan and saving Ivy and he was willing to give it all it took. Just as he contemplated calling Richard, his phone buzzed, displaying Richard's caller ID."Dexter, I found out something that might interest you," Richard said."What's that?" Dexter inquired, his curiosity piqued."Meet me at Raju Singh restaurant. I'll tell you all about it," Richard instructed before ending the call.Dexter promptly hailed a cab and directed the driver to Raju Singh restaurant, eager to hear what Richard had discovered."So, what is it you wanted to tell me?" Dexter inquired, taking a seat in front of Richard. He noticed there was someone else sitting near Richard—an Indian man named Aja
Dexter found himself being escorted to an unfamiliar place, disoriented from the effects of the substance he had unwittingly inhaled. As he struggled to collect his thoughts, the man who had intercepted him at the restaurant approached."Excuse us!" the man said ordering the driver and the other man who had brought Dexter to the location to leave them alone."You?" Dexter exclaimed, recognizing the man from their encounter earlier.The man's demeanor remained composed as he regarded Dexter with a steady gaze. "Yes, it's me," he confirmed tersely. "And you're exactly where you need to be.""Who the hell are you and what the hell is going on here?" Dexter demanded, his voice laced with both surprise and anger."It doesn't matter who I am," the man replied calmly, his tone not revealing much. "And if I were you, I'd conserve my energy for what lies ahead rather than wasting it on questions.""Where's Mirai? What have you done to her?" Dexter pressed on, his concern for Mirai evident in h
Dexter returned to the hospital and found Mirai at the lobby. He was glad to see her there after worrying that something bad had happened to her at the restaurant. It appeared she had just finished speaking with the doctor, and from the look of things, the prime minister was no longer feigning illness. He appeared awake and alert, indicating a significant improvement in his condition. "Mr. Prime Minister, I'm glad to see you're feeling better," Dexter said, maintaining the facade to avoid arousing suspicion in Mirai."Thank you, Mr. Richmond. I apologize for the inconvenience I caused you. I've asked the authorities to lift the ban on your exit from the country and they're already on it," the prime minister said."That's a relief to hear. And what about the allegations regarding the smuggling of drugs?" Dexter inquired."Those charges have been cleared as well. Once the ban is lifted, you will be free to return to your country. I'll arrange for transportation to the airport," the pri
After his meeting with Ajay, Dexter knew he had to reach out to Mirai once more. Despite her initial reluctance, he understood that she was his best chance at saving Richard from impending danger. With a sense of urgency, he dialed her number, each ring amplifying his anxiety until finally, Mirai picked up the call."What do you want from me?" Mirai's irritation was palpable, her tone laced with frustration."Mirai, please, I need your help. Richard's life is at stake, and you're the only one who can assist me," Dexter pleaded, his voice betraying his desperation.Mirai hesitated, but her curiosity piqued as Dexter's urgency resonated through the phone. "Alright, I'm listening," she relented, giving Dexter the opportunity to explain his predicament."There's a safe in your father's office, behind the photo of Prime Minister Bajan Mahandra. Inside, there's a D-VEX drive I mentioned to you before. I don't think your father knows about it. Please, Mirai, I need your help retrieving it. I
