“…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

Horrified
Nessy immediately shook her head the moment the thought came; it was totally wrong of her to come to such a conclusion. Besides, her own father also gave her away to a total stranger, and up till this very moment, neither of her parents had made any attempt to find or reach Nessy.“I am sorry you had to go through all that,” Nessy said, and she meant it.She knew exactly what it felt like to be betrayed and hurt by people you loved and cherished, especially family members.“There is no need for you to feel sorry for me,” Laxus said tightly. “I do not regret anything that has happened in the past, because it has helped me become who I am today,” Laxus added.Nessy nodded in agreement. She could tell that the entire situation was still affecting Laxus, whether or not he liked to admit it. One thing that Nessy knew for sure was that if anyone was truly over their past, they would not be angry and hurt when the conversation was brought up.“And I didn’t tell you any of this so that you wo
Brunt Of Betrayal
“You and Linnie were engaged?” Nessy asked, shocked.She had heard of betrayals, like what her own father did to her by giving her away without considering her feelings or thinking about her safety simply because he wanted to get Gary off his neck, but this had to be the deepest betrayals she had ever heard. Nessy had never fallen in love before, but she knew that being hurt and betrayed by the people you loved and trusted had to be the worst pain in the entire world.“Yes, we were,” Laxus started. “I loved Linnie so much, Nessy. She was an ordinary waitress when we met and I fell in love with her. She seemed different from all the other high class girls I had met my entire life, and I thought that she was truly different. I thought Linnie loved me, but I was wrong. The moment an offer to marry my brother instead and enjoy the wealth and fame that came with being a Kinkaid was dangled in front of her, Linnie grabbed it,” Laxus explained.“She chose your brother over you?” Nessy asked;
A Trip Down The Past
Nessy sat there, stunned into speechlessness. In everything that had gone through her head, she never thought of that. She never imagined that was what Laxus would say, and now that he had said it, she could not even think.Her mind had gone completely blank.“Or I was a Kinkaid,” Laxus corrected.It still didn’t change anything of who Laxus was, and Nessy wondered if she was experiencing something strange and unreal for the very first time. She knew that Kinkaid family; who didn’t know one of the wealthiest and influential families in the city? The Kinkaid Distillery company had been in existence before Nessy was born, and they had been very successful. Never had Nessy thought that she would ever sit with a Kinkaid in the same space and this closely, because the social standing was far apart.Nessy and Laxus stayed quiet for some time.Nessy did not know what to say or even how to react to what she just heard, and Laxus didn’t seem like he was going to say something else anytime soo
The Big Reveal
“I don’t want to talk about her,” Laxus said and hoped deep down that Nessy would just let things rest.Laxus decided that he would have to send a formal warning to Linnie, or even get a restraining order against her to protect Nessy so that they would not have to deal with this anymore. Laxus could not believe how broken he was by just seeing Nessy hurt and withdrawn from him. He had no idea that he wanted Nessy to be unhappy with him.“Then I am sorry, Mr. Laxus, but I cannot go anywhere with you, or continue working for you, or even staying in this lovely apartment you got for me,” Nessy said.Laxus was deeply heartbroken. He could not believe his ears, and for a minute, he thought he had heard wrongly…Laxus hoped that he had actually heard wrongly.“Excuse me?” Laxus asked in disbelief.“You heard everything I said, Mr. Laxus,” Nessy said, going back to being very formal with Laxus, and he hated it. Nessy saw how shocked Laxus was and she shook her head. “Oh, you thought that a l
Pity Or Reward?
Laxus was speechless for a minute, not knowing what exactly to do or say. He struggled between telling Nessy the truth and simply finding a convenient lie, because in all honesty, he did not want to talk about the family and past he had left behind.“I can’t tell you, I am sorry,” Laxus eventually said calmly. He began to wonder what Linnie came to Nessy’s apartment for, and why she would be threatening Nessy. They had absolutely nothing binding them together, so why would she be harassing Nessy?“How am I supposed to feel safe when I don’t know what is going on?” Nessy asked, and Laxus understood where she was coming from, but he found it difficult to just tell Nessy everything.“How did she even find out that you live here?” Laxus asked.There were so many thoughts and questions running through his head now, and he wanted answers to most of them. He would have confronted Linnie, but Laxus had sworn never to have anything to do with her.“You tell me,” Nessy said, crossing her hands
Out Of The Blue
Nessy was shaken after Mrs. Linnie Kinkaid left her apartment. Her threat sent shivers down Nessy’s spine, and she became more afraid for her life now than when she was being threatened to spill the beans about the incident with Gary which Laxus was slightly involved in or even when she was sleeping in the counter without protecting.Things are deeper and more dangerous than you know…The words kept ringing in Nessy’s head. She worked as a slave for Gary for years before she killed him in self-defense, and being a man of wealth and power, she knew just how evil and dangerous their world was. Now, Laxus had become one of the richest and powerful men in the city, which meant that he was truly not the same person that she worked with in Mr. Henry’s restaurant.Nessy had almost totally forgotten that she knew little or nothing about Laxus, and now, he was right in the midst of demons and dragons, and for all she knew, he could be one of them, because if he wasn’t, why had a woman like Mrs
A Warning Visit
When Nessy heard her doorbell ringing, she was perplexed as to who would be visiting her. Since she moved into this apartment, she had not had any guest over for visitation; not like she had friends anyway, so the first person that came to her mind was Laxus.“What could he be doing here?” She asked herself, surprised already surprised…and agitated even though she was yet to open the door.This was the first time Laxus would be visiting her in her apartment, and even though he paid for everything, he hadn’t thought it wise to come before now. Also, it was getting late.Quite frankly, if Nessy was being honest with herself, she would admit that being around Laxus made her feel uneasy.Anyway, the doorbell continued to ring, and Nessy knew that she would have to eventually answer it. When Nessy opened the doorbell without checking from her peephole to even be certain that it was Laxus first, she was shocked to see no other person but Mrs. Linnie Kinkaid standing right in front of her, i
Heart Condition
“Are you okay?” Laxus asked Bowman, his attention quickly shifting from the barrister to Bowman.Bowman quickly steadied himself, surprised that he had reacted to the news in that manner. Granted, he was shocked and devastated by the news, but it wasn’t enough for him to lose his balance.“Yes, I am fine, thank you,” Bowman said, and it was not until Laxus was certain that Bowman could stand on his own that he decided to leave him.Laxus continued to pay close attention to Bowman, and if he was being honest with himself, he would actually admit that when he caught Bowman almost going down, his heart had skipped a bit. Laxus wondered if Bowman was ill, because for a man like Bowman, he did not expect such reaction.“Who are these people? Ask them to leave!” Barrister Dickson yelled frightfully.The fear in his eyes was so intense that Laxus could barely look at him, and he wondered what the lawyer might have gone through that would make him so scared of anyone at all.“We should talk o
Memory Loss
“We have to go,” Bowman turned to Laxus and said after his call with Dragon.Laxus, however, did not think it was a good idea. For him, he was more worried about the fact that Thaddeus had been taken by someone, and Laxus had no doubt now that that person would be no other person but Darwin. Right now, he wanted to sort this issue out, because he believed that the news from Dragon about the lawyer could actually wait.“Right now?” Laxus asked Bowman.“Yes,” Bowman answered. “We have to now that he is awake and conscious,” Bowman added.“But we can always do that later, Bowman. What are we going to do about Darwin’s attempt to ruin me and your company?” Laxus asked worriedly.Bowman looked at Laxus and smiled. “Listen, boy, two things can be handled at the same time, and while we wait for things with Darwin to be sorted out, we should go and see the lawyer,” Bowman insisted.Laxus knew at this point that he would no longer be able to stop or persuade Bowman. Besides, he trusted the man
