“…and it is worth billions…”Linne could not get those words out of her head. it was a good thing she stayed back and eavesdropped, because Darwin did not want her to know, just as he did not want her to know about most things that went on in the company, and Luther would never have said a word of it to her.“Bastards,” Linne said, grounding her teeth.Darwin left some minutes ago, and Luther also left almost immediately to only God knows where. He and his father had argued for some more minutes where Darwin was trying to get Luther to come to the office today so that they could join heads together and see what can be done about this new development, but Luther stubbornly objected.“I already have today scheduled for something else,” Luther had told his father.“You know I am doing all this for you. Come to the company and let us talk properly about this; I already asked the lawyer to come around as well. It will just be for a few hours, and you can go about your day from there,” Darw
Rise Of The Rightful Heir Strange Things
Since Laxus was no longer going to work, he spent the entire day thinking about his meeting with Bowman.First of all, the man seemed like he knew much about the Kinkaid family; things that Laxus obviously didn’t know, and now, he was offering a huge amount of money to Laxus to start up something for himself and fight his family. Bowman did not reveal anything else, which bothered Laxus; he only told him to spend some days thinking about his offer.“That offer is too much,” Laxus said to himself. What if he failed? What if Bowman decided that he needed his money back? Laxus would never be able to pay back, and that would make him be at the mercy of Bowman forever. Laxus wasn’t stupid or ignorant. He might not be rich anymore, but he was once in the midst of plenty, and he knew how men like Bowman operated.“Getting away from my family was freedom to me, and there is no way I am going back to being under anyone’s mercy, ever again,” Laxus vowed to himself.In fact, if his family could
Rise Of The Rightful Heir Uncertainty
Abandoning what he had just experienced, Laxus hurried to Nessy. It was getting dark now, and from what Nessy told him, she was still at the store. Laxus knew he shouldn’t be going there, especially considering the fact that Mr. Henry fired him, but he could not get over how scared and frantic Nessy sounded, as though she was in danger.The moment Laxus got to the shop, the sign there was close, which means they had closed for the day. However, Laxus tried to push through the door, but he was stopped by Drake.“What are you doing here?” Drake asked harshly. “You have been fired already, so why are you here?” Drake questioned, facing Laxus menacingly.“What have you done to her?” Laxus asked, breathing hard.He was breathing hard from rushing over to the shop and he was also breathing hard because he was ready to fight Drake if he had hurt Nessy. Laxus did not have any feelings or attachment to Nessy, but he just hated it when people, especially women were being bullied, especially the
Rise Of The Rightful Heir An Old Staff
Laxus was stunned, speechless, and confused as to what to do. He saw Nessy shaking as her eyes went from the man to Laxus, and her quivering lips released whimpers occasionally.“What…what happened here?” Laxus asked Nessy.He could not see the man’s face, but from the grey in his hairs, it was obvious that he was not exactly a young man. Anyway, Nessy found it difficult to open her mouth, and when she did, no words came out.“Nessy, you have to talk to me. What happened and who is he?” Laxus asked again.He could not possibly think of anything that could have gone wrong, and Nessy looked too innocent to kill a man in cold blood, but then again, looks were very deceiving, but all the same, Laxus could not find himself in this kind of situation. If the cops arrived and met him here, he would be in deeper trouble, because there was no way they would not realize that he was a Kinkaid.It dawned on Laxus that there was no way Nessy would say anything if he did not do anything to make her
Rise Of The Rightful Heir Panicky
Laxus staggered backwards, shocked.“What is it?” It was now Nessy’s turn to ask him. “Do you know him?” Nessy asked further when she saw that the color in Laxus’s face had disappeared.Laxus could not tell Nessy that he knew this man well enough. The man in question lying in his own pool of blood was Mr. Gary, an old staff of the company, and also, the same man who worked closely with Laxus’s father. Laxus had no idea that a staff of the company lived around these parts, and he could not tell if the man retired from the company and moved down here, because Laxus had been away from home for long now, but all the same, this was a messier situation than Laxus had thought it would be. If the cops got here and found him here, he would be in a deeper shit. First of all, they would think he possibly murdered the man, because he was kicked out of the Kinkaid Distillery company, and secondly, his family would buy that story and watch him rot in jail.Laxus could not risk it.“We have to go,”
Rise Of The Rightful Heir Unwanted Guest
“Hello, Laxus,” Linnie said with a broad smile on her face.Laxus just stood there, shocked to his bones and as a result of that, he could not utter a word. The last time he set his eyes on Linnie was the day his father had coldly announced to him that she would be getting married to Luther instead, and the hurtful betrayal he had received from her that day.Laxus Kinkaid would never forget that hurt in a lifetime.“Been a while, isn’t it?” Linnie asked, her smile neither wavering nor faltering when Laxus didn’t say anything, or even bother to let her in.Her soft, sweet, and feminine voice floated into his ears, and for a moment, Laxus almost allowed himself to be melted by the sound of her voice. Linnie’s voice was one of the reasons Laxus had fallen in love with her from the very beginning, but now, he was quick to remember that she did not waste any time in dumping him for his brother, Luther.“What do you want here?” Laxus asked, his voice sounding harsh and gruff. He liked it a

Laxu would be a fool to believe or trust any word that comes out of the mouth of someone like Linnie.“I don’t want to know anything, Linnie. Get out of my apartment, right now!” Laxus said and meant every word.Now that they were alone, Laxus could not stand the sight of her. He had thought that Linnie was the only good thing he had going on until she betrayed him without any iota of remorse. “This shabby thing is what you call an apartment?” Linnie asked condescendingly. “Laxus, this place is a shithole that even pigs should not live in,” Linnie said.Laxus jaw tightened with annoyance. It was one thing to have to deal with her betrayal from afar, and it was another thing entire to have her stand in front of him and bring him down after all he had been through. “Get out,” Laxus ordered Linnie, more sternly this time around.He was ready to lay his hand on that delicate skin of hers and throw her out himself, because he knew without a doubt that Linnie was here for a suspicious mis

Laxus was unable to sleep that night as several thoughts ran through his mind. He was bothered about Nessy and where she would have gone to at that time of the night, but he was more worried about Linnie’s visit. First of all, she had shown up unannounced, meaning that her visit meant something, but then again, Laxus did not even give her the chance to corrupt his mind with whatever reason she had come for.There was also the issue of her mini-purse which was left in his apartment.Thinking about it now, Laxus could not tell if Linnie deliberately dropped the pause or she really forgot it, because as far as he could remember, she did not even sit for a minute, so how on earth did she leave her purse on his couch. Something was definitely not right.Laxus was woken up by the ringing of his phone. Laxus was surprised to see that it was Mr. Henry that was calling him.“Good morning, Mr. Henry,” Laxus said immediately he picked up. Laxus sat up in bed immediately, because regardless of

For The Love Of One Woman
Bowman had waited for Katryn and Darwin at the fancy restaurant that he had booked after Katryn had informed him that she had been able to get Darwin to come along.It had been a disastrous idea, considering the fact that Bowman could hardly deny his strong and deep attraction for Katryn. He was certain that he would end the dinner with a heartache, but then again, he was doing this for Mr. Kinkaid, and he would do anything for the man, even if it meant hurting himself.Some minutes later, Katryn and Darwin had strolled into the restaurant, with Darwin holding Katryn possessively. Bowman had bit his lower lip in stark jealousy as they both looked like the perfect couple. He had known that this was going to shred his heart into pieces. They hadn’t even gotten to him yet and he was already in pains.Bowman slowly and cautiously got up as they approached his table, because he did not want Katryn to taunt him about leaping to his feet again.“Thank you for inviting us to dinner,” Katryn
An Idea!
Bowman’s mind was going round and round with thoughts of how he would be able to get the job done. He had already missed his chance at the club to get to know something about Darwin that he would take to Mr. Kinkaid, and now, he needed another means.He could not fail the one man he respected the most in the entire universe.In his hotel room, Bowman could not stop thinking, but all thoughts seemed to be leading him to a dead end. The more time he wasted, the more days he was likely to spend in a city that he really didn’t belong to. Also, he had a company to run for Mr. Kinkaid, even though the man had already informally bequeathed it to him.After hours of thinking and almost developing a headache in the process, Bowman eventually came to a conclusion! In less than an hour, he arrived at Mr. Kinkaid’s residence. His heart began to race very fast as soon as he got into the compound with his rented car and driver, all thanks to Katryn Kinkaid. Bowman knew that Mr. Kinkaid was at the c
The Look
“I think I could get a table for us,” Darwin had answered almost immediately.All eyes were still on Bowman, making him uncomfortable.Aside from the fact that the club was everything that Bowman never associated himself with, he wasn’t a man that liked being around many people, which was why he was actually hiding at Mr. Kinkaid’s party, and that had been exactly what had drawn Katryn to him.Maybe if he had simply mingled with everyone else like the other guests, Katryn’s smart eyes would not have picked him out.“This is no place for gentlemen, but I doubt you even understand what that means,” Bowman said, not bothering to mask his condescending tone.He didn’t like Darwin, and finding him here already made him like him less, and Bowman saw that his words made Darwin slightly upset, but he didn’t mind.“You are coming with me,” Bowman said authoritatively.Darwin scoffed in annoyance. “You must think that you are talking to your son, huh,” Darwin retorted. “You cannot just waltz in
The Offer
Bowman hadn’t had a particular thing in mind that Mr. Kinkaid might have asked of him, but he was certainly shocked when the man told him to watch over Darwin for a few days and give him a report. Bowman wondered why Mr. Kinkaid could not just call off the wedding which was in a few weeks rather if he felt uncomfortable with their union rather than going through all this length, but then again, he had never really questioned the ways and decisions of the man that he respected with everything he had.And so Bowman had no choice but to do what Mr. Kinkaid requested of him.He would have to spend more time in the city, and of course, see Katryn again.Bowman struggled between the feeling of excitement on the mere thought of seeing Katryn again and the guilt of desiring the young daughter of his boss. He feared that the more he saw Katryn, the harder it was for him to resist her.Well, he had a huge responsibility now that he could not run away from, and he would ensure that he did every
Smart But Unwise
One thing that Bowman was grateful for was the fact that the driver was someone he rented along with the car when he arrived in the city.If it had been one of Mr. Kinkaid’s drivers, he would have been doomed, because report would have certainly reached him about Bowman’s misconduct.But how in hell did Katryn see and notice Bowman’s erection? He tried really hard to keep it unnoticed, but then again, Katryn, whom Bowman now knew was sharper and smarter than he had given her credit for, had noticed, and that had been the most embarrassing moment of his life.As soon as Bowmna arrived at his hotel room, he dashed into the restroom and all he needed to do was envision Katryn and think of her as he touched himself, and the pleasure came freely to him. Bowman wasn’t a man who engaged in self-pleasure, especially when he could easily go out and get whatever woman he wanted, but on rare occasions when he was badly starved, especially at night, he indulged in it.Even at that, Bowman had ha
Irresistible
Bowman wished that he could say no, but then again, turning Mr. Kinkaid down was not something that he could deal with. Besides, he had no excuse as to why he couldn’t drop Katryn off.Thoughts of Katryn being in the car with him, in the same space with him, and possibly close to him aroused and scared him at the same time.“I promise not to be a bully,” Katryn said, sounding like a little child that needed to be spanked by a man like Bowman.Jeez, he hated where his thoughts always went the moment he looked at Katryn or even thought of her.How could he become so attracted to the one woman that was off limits for Bowman? He could have any woman he wanted to, all thanks to Mr. Kinkaid who had made him a man of money and power, even though no one knew him in the city. If Katryn Kinkaid had been another woman, Bowman would have had sex with her by now.And maybe this insane arousal and obsession would have disappeared.One of the many reasons that Bowman hadn’t committed to any woman, o
Forbidden Fruit
“Hi, daddy!” Katryn had called out, bubbling with laughter and joy as she went right to where Mr. Kinkaid was seated and hugged him tightly.Mr. Kinkaid had hugged her right back, and in that moment, Bowman had seen how happy and proud Mr. Kinkaid had been, and of course, his happiness.And that was the first time that Bowman wished that he also had a family.Katryn was dressed in crop top shirt and shorts that revealed her tall and full thighs. Bowman had tried to take his eyes away from them, but he couldn’t. Her hair, the same as Mr. Kinkaid’s, had been tied in a ponytail, revealing her beautiful ears and earrings.Bowman had swallowed hard over and over again. Seated right there, as he watched Mr. Kinkaid’s only daughter and child, he had been hard as a rock.For the first time, he had wanted a woman so badly.“She is forbidden fruit, Bowman,” that same voice had warned Bowman.“Don’t I know you?” Katryn had asked, finally turning to Bowman and dragging him out of the battle he wa
The Responsibility
After that short encounter with Katryn at the party, Bowman had been unable to get her out of his mind.It had been disturbing and troubling, because for the very time, a woman had caught his attention. He had stayed back in the city for an extra day, which was unlike him, and as he went over to the Kinkaid Distillery Company to inform his boss, Mr. Kinkaid, of his intention to return to the branch out of town, Bowman could feel the heaviness in his heart.He knew that he would not return to this city for the rest of the year, or any time soon, and somehow, he was deeply devastated that he would not be seeing Katryn again.“She is your boss’s young daughter, and she has a fiancé already, Bowman; get your head right,” a voice in Bowman’s head had warned him.But his heart had been adamantly stubborn.“Bowman, ready to leave?” Mr. Kinkaid had asked, shaking Bowman vigorously the moment Bowman had stepped into his office.Bowman respected Mr. Kinkaid a lot. In fact, he was the only man
The Special Place
“There is somewhere I need to go, alone,” Bowman told Dragon, placing emphasis on the “alone” part of his statement.Dragon looked at him suspiciously. “Is it a visit to the doctor?” Dragon asked.“No, it is not,” Bowman answered.“Then where is this place that you don’t want me going along with you?” Dragon asked further.Bowman was almost exasperated, because first of all, he wasn’t even used to being followed everywhere like this, but ever since he was diagnosed of the heart issue, Dragon had made it a point of duty to always be around him. Bowman saw the way Dragon always looked at him when he thought he wasn’t looking, and he did not particularly like it, but he decided not to fuss about it.Dragon always stared at Bowman as though he would collapse at any moment, and he wanted to ensure that he would be right there to keep Bowman from falling.“You have been going everywhere with me, including to Darwin’s ward even when you knew that it was risky,” Bowman started. “Darwin could
