Rise Of The Rightful Heir One More Try
“…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
Rise Of The Rightful Heir Anonymous Recommendation
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

She Calls The Shots Now
Linnie arrived at the hospital just in time for Darwin to receive visitors. Nevertheless, no one would have been able to stop her from seeing him anyway.This was a golden opportunity that had fallen into Linnie’s laps, and she would not take it for granted.Before going over to Darwin’s ward, she visited his doctor first. Linnie was smart enough to know that Darwin’s condition could have worsened or gotten better, so she needed to know before facing him. However, she sincerely hoped that it had gotten worse.Her knee was still hurting, causing her to limp, but Linnie did not care about that. As long as she could walk around with it with less pain, she could manage.“His condition is not going to get better,” the doctor told Linnie who pretended to be the most caring and loving and concerned daughter-in-law in the universe. “He might want to try other doctors abroad, which I would even suggest, but he is going to get the same result,” he added.“So he is never going to walk on his fee
Dilemma
Luther felt better. The pain that he was feeling from the fall was gone after resting for twenty-four hours. However, he was still acting as though he needed help and support from Linnie.And it was for a reason.“Mr. Luther, would you like to have lunch here in your bedroom or downstairs at the dining table?” The maid asked Luther.Although he felt sound and better, he just still laid in bed as his mind thought about everything that had happened. He felt terrible and upset that he gave Linnie the chance to take the upper hand, and more than that, he was curious about those letters.“She knocked me out because of those letters,” Luther thought in his mind. “There must be something in it that she is hiding, so much so that she was willing to kill me. Then where was she the entire time? Where did she get the letters from?” Luther could not stop thinking.He was relieved that Linnie had eventually left him alone to tend to other things. She had been in his face since they returned from t
Honeymoon Suggestion
Laxus thought that his heart would explode with emotions with the way he was feeling deep inside, so much so that he simply sat on their bed when they arrived home later that evening.After the lawyer had read the will, he had handed the official keys to the mansion to Laxus and congratulated him on the inheritance. The small box would also have been given to Laxus, but they all knew that it was missing. All attempts to get necessary information about his upbringing and why his grandmother was particular about not wanting Darwin anywhere near the mansion had been impossible.The lawyer had left after his mission was accomplished, and Laxus had had to sit through a dinner party that he wasn’t really in the mood for. However, Nessy was such a good guest that Laxus’s mood did not ruin the purpose for the dinner.“I should have known that including a celebratory dinner alongside with the will reading would not work well, but I guess I didn’t put things into consideration much,” Bowman had
Firm Instructions
Laxus could not help the tears that flowed from his eyes. The entire study was quiet as everyone allowed Laxus to sob without interruption, which Laxus was very grateful for. In that moment, he was not ashamed to display vulnerability, and he wouldn’t even have been able to control it even if he had wanted to. His emotions were doing being a rollercoaster at the moment and a lot of things were running through his mind. Never in his wildest dreams would Laxus have thought that his grandmother would bequeath to him the biggest and oldest mansions in the entire city…and to think that he had neglected to look after it after her passing.The only thing that Laxus had been concerned about when she died was the grief and heaviness in his heart. He had never imagined that his granny was capable of dying, because even if she was clearly old, she was filled with love and life, so Laxus was extremely devastated when she had passed.The last thing that had been on his mind had been inheritance.
His Inheritance
On their way to Bowman’s mansion, as they sat at the back of the car, Laxus felt as though his tongue had been tied.He was still very embarrassed with his reaction about Nessy’s whereabouts. He had acted like a teenager who was scared that his mother had abandoned him, and worse, his voice had been frantic and loud enough that Nessy had heard him. Even though Nessy hadn’t said anything about it or reacted to it, Laxus had felt completely flushed. Fortunately for him, Nessy had simply accepted to go with him to Bowman’s, abandoning the breakfast that she had prepared for the both of them.“I am sorry that we couldn’t have the breakfast that you took time making,” Laxus eventually managed to break the ice. “Bowman sounded urgent, and if we had stayed back to eat, we would have been late. Nevertheless, we would have the next breakfast together,” Laxus promised.Now, he didn’t know if Nessy was cold because he didn’t eat what she had prepared or if she was still on about last night.“It’
A Franctic Husband
Laxus was forced to open his eyes when his phone rang beside the bed table. He reached forth for Nessy, but her side of the bed was empty.“Why did she leave the bed so early?” Laxus asked himself, getting worried and wondering if she had crawled back to her hole.He could still recall what she said last night, and how speechless he had been. A part of him had told him that she had made that confession in her sleepy state, so she couldn’t have realized that he didn’t say a word, right? Even though he had only been married to Nessy for a couple of days, he already knew that she was an emotional woman with a soft heart.Not saying that he loved her too could hurt her deeply and make her recoil, but then again, Laxus hadn’t even decided if he was truly in love with Nessy as well, and he did not want to lie to her.Laxus’s phone began to ring again, taking him out of his reverie. He was somewhat relieved when the caller ID showed Bowman. Since they returned from their trip, Laxus hadn’t s
Not So Much In Charge
Darwin refused to believe the crap the doctor just told him. He became wild and frantic and the doctor had to leave him for a second to get Luther.Darwin struggled hard to get on his feet, clenching his teeth bravely to prevent him from crying out in pain and attracting the attention of anyone at all. He would rather die than let anyone see him defeated.Darwin tried and tried, but the pain was too much to bear, and his legs just wouldn’t move an inch because his waist was completely numb.“Fuck!” Darwin exclaimed in frustration.It was not until he almost fell off the bed that he decided to stop struggling. It would be worse for anyone to find him on the floor, so Darwin decided that he would simply wait for Luther to show up and have him take him out of here. Darwin would not be defeated!His heart was racing and beating really fast, because a part of him kept reminding him about what the doctor said, but because Darwin could never imagine being in that position, he refused to take
A Hardened Patient
Darwin tried to sit up, but the sharp pain that shot through him from every part of his body sent him back to the bed and he groaned out loud in pain, causing his assigned nurse to rush into his ward.He was feeling numb on his waist and he was frustrated as fuck.“Mr. Darwin, I suggest you stay put,” the young nurse said frantically as she tried to check Darwin if he was alright.As soon as her hand touched Darwin, he hit her hand away from his body violently, making her yelp in pain.“I was only trying to help you,” she said solemnly.“I don’t need your freaking help!” Darwin yelled at her rudely. “Where is my doctor?” Darwin asked angrily.He hated being confined to a hospital bed. For years, he had managed to stay far away from hospitals and doctors, and now that he was here, he wanted to leave badly. He could not understand why he was feeling this much pain, and why he wasn’t feeling his waist. It had been just a push from Bowman’s man, so it couldn’t have been that bad. Besides,
The Kinkaid Wife
Linnie sat dutifully in Luther’s ward, close to his bed in the hospital like a loving and caring wife that she was. They had been in the hospital all night, but she felt relieved now, because her knee had been treated and the pain had greatly subsided. Linnie could rarely believe how everything had worked in her favor. She had ensured that the bloggers had gotten the story, and now that it was dawn, she believed that the news would be flying all over the internet in no time.Luther opened his eyes, finally awake.The doctor had given him some sedatives to make him sleep better after he was examined, and also some drugs to help the alcohol get out of his system faster. He looked like a mess, and once again, Linnie realized that he was not half as handsome as Laxus.“You,” Luther said grudgingly when he turned and saw Linnie. “I don’t want you here, you evil woman,” Luther declared.Of course, Linnie knew that he would try to be a nuisance once he woke up, but she was very well prepare
