Chapter: Chapter 186: We can find a way out of this 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

Chapter: Chapter 185: It'll take us an hour to get there“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

Chapter: Chapter 184: You've got till the end of today 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

Chapter: Chapter 183: I'll give it all up to charity "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

Chapter: Chapter 182: Raphael and Priscilla, arrested!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

Chapter: Chapter 181: Our enemies are Dexter and his mother 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

Chapter: Chapter 498Dana sat in the darkness, her back against the wall, her eyes fixed on the ceiling.The safe house was cold, silent, the only sound the distant hum of traffic. She had been here for days, waiting for the heat to die down, waiting for her next opportunity.But the heat wasn't dying down. It was intensifying.Every news channel was showing her face. Every social media feed was speculating about her identity. Every law enforcement agency in the country was looking for her.She was trapped.Not trapped, she told herself. Just... waiting.The door opened, and Cross stepped inside. His face was grim, his eyes shadowed."We have one week," he said.Dana looked up. "One week for what?""To finish the job. Kozlov is losing patience." Cross sat across from her, his hands clasped between his knees. "If we fail, we're both dead."Dana was silent for a moment, processing."Then we don't fail," she said.Cross nodded. "Do you have a plan?"Dana rose, crossing to the window. The city lay before her,

Chapter: Chapter 497The command center was a hive of controlled chaos.Gerald stood at the center, surrounded by screens displaying maps, surveillance feeds, and red dots marking roadblocks and checkpoints. He had coordinated with every federal, state, and local agency within a hundred-mile radius. The city was locked down tighter than it had ever been.And still, Dana Voss had vanished."Roadblock on I-95 reports nothing," an agent announced."Train stations are clear.""Airports are on high alert. No sign of her."Gerald's jaw tightened. He had known Dana would be difficult to catch. She was a ghost, a phantom who had slipped through the fingers of every agency that had ever hunted her. But he had hoped that this time would be different."Expand the search radius," he ordered. "Check every bus depot, every taxi stand, every rental car agency. She didn't just disappear."The agents nodded and returned to their screens. Gerald turned back to the map, his eyes tracing the possible escape routes.Where are

And Julia had become president, carrying the weight of a nation on her shoulders, the memory of her friend tucked away in the secret chambers of her heart.Julia raised her hand, waving, smiling, projecting the confidence and strength the nation expected.Gerald moved ahead, checking the route, the security, the faces in the crowd.

Chapter: Chapter 495The safe house was a nondescript apartment on the outskirts of the city, hidden from prying eyes, its windows blacked out, its walls soundproofed. Cross had chosen it for its anonymity, its proximity to the Mall, its ease of escape.Dana sat at the small kitchen table, the disassembled rifle spread before her. She had cleaned it, oiled it, tested every component. It was ready. She was ready.Cross stood by the window, peering through a crack in the curtains at the street below. The city was quiet, the night calm, but tension thrummed through the air like a live wire."Tomorrow," Cross said. "This time tomorrow, it'll be over."Dana didn't look up. "If everything goes according to plan.""It will." Cross turned to face her. "You're the best. That's why I hired you."Dana finally looked up, her eyes cold, unreadable.

Chapter: Chapter 494Cross glanced at her. "There's also the issue of escape. The Mall will be locked down the moment the shots are fired. You'll need a way out."Dana pointed to a building on the edge of the Mall. "There's a parking garage here. Underground. If I can reach it before they seal the exits, I can disappear."Cross studied the route, calculating distances, timing. "It's risky.""Everything about this is risky." Dana looked up at him. "That's why you hired me."Cross smiled. "Fair point."They spent the next hour going over every detail—the weapon, the position, the timing, the contingencies. Dana pointed out flaws in Cross's plan, suggested alternatives, refined the route.By the time they finished, the sky outside was beginning to lighten."One more thing," Cross said. "Julia's security chief, Gerald Seth. He's thorough. He's observant. He might notice something off."Dana nodded slowly. "Then I'll make sure he's not a problem."Cross raised an eyebrow.

Chapter: Chapter 493The hotel room was shrouded in shadows, the only light filtering through the heavy curtains from the neon signs flickering outside. Salmon Cross sat in a leather chair near the window, his eyes fixed on the door, his hand resting casually on the armrest, inches from the weapon hidden beneath his jacket.He had heard stories about Dana Voss. Everyone in the underworld had. A ghost. A phantom. A woman who had killed more men than most armies, who had walked away from explosions that should have consumed her, who had vanished into thin air when the authorities came looking.She was a legend. And legends made Cross nervous.The door opened without a knock.Dana Voss stepped inside, her movements fluid, predatory, her eyes scanning the room in an instant—the windows, the corners, the exit behind her. She was dressed in black, her dark hair pulled back, her face bare of makeup. She was beautiful in a way that had nothing to do with conventional standards—sharp cheekbones, intense eyes, a

Now we have to make sure it stays won."Sarah's brow furrowed in confusion. "What do you mean?"Miles quickly looked at his family, then shifted his focus back to Sarah. "We still have a large amount of work in front of us." Nevertheless, I think we are prepared for the challenge. Do you want to assist us in improving the city? Sarah nodded with great enthusiasm. "May I work as your aide?" The room was filled with laughter, relieving the tension that was growing. Miles stood and playfully tousled Sarah's hair. "You have the ability to become anything you desire, young one. "That is the main objective." Maxwell cleared his throat, drawing everyone's attention. "Miles, there's something else we need to discuss. About your role in the family."Miles tensed, memories of their past conflicts flooding back. "Dad, I-"Maxwell held up a hand. "Let me finish.

But this time, we're building something better. Something just."With that, they left, racing towards the Lyon compound. While driving through the city streets, they observed evidence of the night's happenings all around - police barriers, lights flashing, and groups of spectators. "What do you think Joseph Lyon has?" Lola asked, her brow furrowed with concern.Miles shook his head. "I don't know, but we can't let him walk. Whatever it is, we'll face it together."They arrived at the Lyon compound to find it in chaos. Creek family members and newly arrived police officers were everywhere, securing the premises and rounding up Lyon family members and associates.Elena met them at the entrance, her face grim. "Joseph's in the basement. He's threatening to upload some kind of dossier to the internet if we don't let him go.""What's in the dossier?"

He's got her in his office."Miles tightened his fists, suppressing the anxiety eating away at his stomach. "Okay then. I am entering. Always remain committed to the plan, regardless of any obstacles that may arise. With that, he walked confidently towards the front door, feeling his heart racing but remaining determined. The guards by the entrance became tense when he neared. Miles declared that he is here to visit Ethan with a commanding tone that left no room for disagreement. The guards nervously looked at each other before one of them communicated on his radio. After a brief pause, they moved out of the way, letting Miles go through. While strolling through the grand corridors, Miles couldn't shake the thought of the countless lives ruined to uphold this image of authority and extravagance. He prepared himself, aware that tonight marked the end of everything. He reached Ethan's office door, pau

Something big enough to draw Ethan's attention away from his office."Lola stepped forward, her face set with determination. "I have an idea. But you're not going to like it."Miles turned to her, concern etched on his face. "Lola, what are you thinking?""Me," she said simply. "I'll turn myself in to Ethan. Tell him I'm abandoning you, that I want to make a deal.""Absolutely not," Miles said firmly. "It's too dangerous."Lola stood her ground. "It's the perfect distraction. Ethan won't be able to resist the opportunity to use me against you.""She's right," Rachel interjected. "Ethan's obsessed with destroying you, Miles.

In the woods, they ran without direction, with the sound of their pursuers not far behind. "There's a river approaching," Maxwell gasped while they ran. "If we manage to get across, we could risk losing them." They continued moving forward, with branches lashing their faces and the ground unpredictable beneath their feet. At last, the sound of water rushing reached their ears. "We arrived," Elena wheezed. But as they reached the riverbank, a shot rang out. Miles felt a searing pain in his arm and stumbled."Miles!" Lola cried out."I'm fine," he forced through clenched teeth. "We must continue to keep going forward." Stepping into the icy water, they could hear their pursuers approaching nearer.

After what felt like an endless amount of time, Dorian veered onto a dirt path that twisted through thick forests. "He declared that we are nearly there." Out of nowhere, headlights were visible in the rearview mirror. Dorian muttered curses quietly. "They've found us."Miles twisted in his seat, his heart pounding. "How? We were so careful!""Questions later," Dorian growled, pressing down on the accelerator. "Hold on, everyone!"The vehicle surged ahead, jolting harshly over the bumpy road. Sarah began to weep, and Lola tried her hardest to console her while hanging on tightly. "That way!" Elena yelled while indicating the direction in front.
