“How is it going?” Bowman asked Laxus as he served Laxus his favorite wine in his bar in his mansion.

“This week has been the craziest week of my life,” Laxus said, accepting the wine and downing it in one swoop.

He hadn’t tasted wine at all the entire week, not to talk of something as good as expensive as what he was having now. He arrived at the company early to resume interviews of staff members and closed later at night. Laxus even hardly had time to eat. The only time he had to eat was dinnertime, and the chef whom Bowman had stationed in his new mansion did her job perfectly well. She always ensured that Laxus had dinner before going to bed otherwise Laxus would have skipped dinner as well. No matter how early she tried to wake up to fix breakfast, Laxus was always earlier.

“You look drained already,” Bowman said, chuckling. “Have you even had time to shave? I can see your stubbles,” Bowman observed, and he was not jesting around.

Laxus used his hand to touch his face, and he r

    Laxus arrived at the restaurant that Abby had told him that she had booked a reservation, and the moment his driver parked at the parking lot, Laxus regretted his actions immediately.“I shouldn’t have let Bowman talk me into this,” Laxus told himself grudgingly.This was a Sunday, and the best thing he would have done for himself was rest the entire day so that he could wake up energized and ready for the day on Monday, but here he was, dressed up and about to have dinner with someone he barely knew. Laxus was certain that he had sworn off love and women after the sting from Linnie, so again, what was he doing here? Laxus was tempted to ask his driver to drive him back to his mansion, but he knew that Bowman would not let him hear the last of it.“All I just have to do is show up, engage in a short conversation, and tell Bowman that there was no spark so that he would leave me the hell alone,” Laxus told himself.Then he got out of the car and walked into the restaurant. It was an ex

    Luther sat in his office and tried to work on some files. He did not have an in-depth knowledge of them, and as he tried to get a hang of it, he realized that they were very difficult.“Damn, these stuffs never get easy no matter how hard I try,” Luther said in frustration. “How does anyone ever get them right? I have been on this since morning, and still, no result,” Luther grumbled angrily.He really hated to be in the company. He would prefer his secret passion to wearing a fancy suit and wasting days in the company when he did not understand shit, but then again, his father would kill him if he knew that after all these years, Luther was still dumb to whatever was going on in the company. Luther was beginning to have a headache just trying to get a hang of it.“No, that’s enough for one day. I obviously cannot do this, and there is no point trying to,” Luther said to himself.

    Darwin’s jaw tightened angrily. “That bastard,” he said to himself, but loud enough for Luther to hear him.Luther knew that that name was a bad blood around his father. He could not exactly tell, but it was the one name that made Luther’s father’s blood boil whenever he heard it, and Luther wondered who this Bowman was, and why he riled his dad up so much.“Please, spare my life,” the doctor pleaded. Luther managed to turn and look at the doctor, and his eyes were filled with fear and dread for his life. Luther opened his mouth to ask his father if there wasn’t any other way that they could have gotten this information out of him, but he changed his mind and swallowed instead. He knew that asking his father would only make him very aggravated, especially at a time like this.“Where did Bowman take him to?” Darwin asked. “If you lie to me or hide any information from me, be aware that your family is going to pay the costly price,” Darwin threatened deeply.Luther turned his face away

It had been a tedious morning already, as Laxus and his new staff members had to arrive early so that they could kick start officially. They were getting the first Laxus Distillery Cave brand produced and distributed throughout the country. One thing that Laxus had one was also make contacts and contracts for sales, which came really easy for him because of the standing reputation he had while he worked for Kinkaid Distillery Company, and the strength of his new company.“Thank you, Bridget,” Laxus said and meant it.Since he hired Bridget weeks ago, he had not had any cou

    Bowman was having a hard time sleeping, especially after his call with Laxus.“That young man is still under the whims of Darwin,” Bowman said to himself.He was pissed off. All his attempts to get Laxus to become as fearless and ruthless as every businessman should be were proving abortive. He needed Laxus to know that there was no way he could climb the ladder of success in the world without making enemies, and deep down, Bowman wanted Laxus to begin to see Darwin as both an enemy and a competitor.At least that way, he could be rest assured that Darwin’s tactics towards Laxus would not be effective.

  • Rise Of The Rightful Heir   Strange Attitude

    Linnie noticed that Luther had been holed up in bed for days now since the last time he returned home from work at night.“He skipped his breakfast again,” their chef reported to Linnie.“Again?” Linnie asked, worried.This should be the fifth time in a row that Luther was skipping food, and she wondered if her husband had not died in his room, because how could anyone survive without food for that long? Aside from that, Linnie had been living under the same roof with Luther, even though it was not in the same bedroom, and one thing that she knew about Luther was that he never joked with his breakfast. She even rarely had breakfast, but virtually even morning when she would come downstairs, she would meet Luther having breakfast, but now he had been rejecting his food.“What did you make for breakfast?” Linnie asked.She had never really cared to ask, because they had a sufficient maid who knew what she was doing, as well as competent domestic staff members, and Linnie had never lifte

    “I said get out, or I will kill you! Get the fuck out of here!” Luther was screaming and growling at the top of his lungs at Linnie.His eyes screamed of rage and violence. His veins stood strong. He balled his fingers into angry fists, as though he would punch Linnie with them. For the first time, Linnie thought that she was in the room with a beast who would kill her, because even though there was a slight distance between them, she could feel Luther’s hot and angry breath against her skin. Linnie knew that if Luther became crazy enough to kill her, he would go scot free, because of his family’s influence and power, and worse, because she was just a woman without a family or name. In fact, they could paint a lie about a home accident that led to Linnie’s demise, and she would be forgotten as though she never existed, and that would even hurt her more, because that would mean that she left the shores of this earth without fulfilling half of what she desired.“Go!” Luther was still sh

  • Ruined Moment

    Linnie was seeing a show when the door banged open and Luther walked into the living room. Linnie was jolted in shock, because she hadn’t expected him to open the door in that manner, and more so, she had been consumed with her own thoughts; the TV was just a way to make anyone think that she was truly watching what was going on there.Luther gave her an ultimatum, and Linnie knew that he was dead serious. A man who did not love her would not hesitate to get rid of her the first chance that she got, and now, Linnie was left with two possible choices; find a way to get pregnant for Luther at all cost before she ultimatum runs out, or catch him having an affair and cheating on her. That way, he would have no choice but to hand over all he had, including his shares in the Kinkaid Distillery Company to her.Either way, Linnie gets to remain in the Kinkaid’s lives.“Shouldn’t you be in bed by now?” Luther asked.Linnie had almost thought that he was speaking to someone else, because if it

  • A Woman Worth The Trust

What happened?After Laxus stopped working at the restaurant, he simply stopping thinking about it. Why wouldn’t he anyway? He now had a multi-billion dollars company to handle and worry about. After Laxus was tired of staring at the sign, and it became crystal clear to him that the sign meant that it was the officers of the law that banned it, he turned and went into his car, wondering what could have happened.Laxus’s major dilemma was how to get in touch with Nessy.He had no clue where Mr. Henry lived, and he never communicated with the other people who worked at the restaurant at that time to even know where any of them lived, so where would he find Nessy? Laxus became really bothered and concerned. Originally, he should have just shrugged it off and scouted for someone else, but deep down, Laxus knew that Nessy was the right candidate for

    Laxus had an amazing time making hamburgers. To his own surprise, he made over twenty five hamburgers, and even when he was done, he was not slightly exhausted.His chef joined him at a point in checking the oven to ensure that they weren’t getting overly baked, and they also shared short conversations, making the whole process worthwhile for Laxus. Before now, he might not have fancied the idea of acquainting himself with any of the domestic servants, but being that he had once being a server under someone, Laxus now looked at everyone the same way. Also, the chef’s presence made Laxus feel like his grandmother was right there in the kitchen with him.After that, Laxus asked the chef to distribute the hamburgers to his domestic workers, and when she was done, she attested that there were still some hamburgers left, and the next thing that came to Laxus’s mind was to send some to Bowman.“Please, have them well wrapped up for me,” Laxus told the chef.She did, and Laxus gave his driv

  • Not Fast Enough

    Darwin and Luther waited for Detective George in Darwin’s office. They had been able to find out the person who sent an anonymous tip to the cops stating that he had viable evidence against Laxus and knew exactly what happened to Gary, and as usual, Darwin had swung into action.Darwin wanted that information first, because now, he did not want to only have Laxus arrested, and that was what the cops would do if they eventually got hold of that testimony and evidence before him. initially, that was what Darwin had wanted, so that Laxus would be ruined, but with the kind of backing that Laxus now had, Darwin knew that Laxus would not spend more than two hours in jail even after getting arrested.What Darwin wanted was to get hold of the information, use it to blackmail and threaten Laxus personally, without the presence of his new god, into surrendering all that he had been given and disappear from limelight forever.“How much longer are we going to wait for Detective George to bring th

  • Revived Passion

    Laxus stayed in his bedroom all night and even until the morning, and even after freshening up, he still remained in his bedroom.He couldn’t even go to the company knowing what the blogs were saying and the lawsuit against him. Over the night, Laxus contemplated going to Darwin and confronting him, but he ended up changing his mind before morning. First of all, he had no desire to set his eyes on Darwin, Luther, or even Linnie, and so far, he had been lucky, so he would not set a trap for himself by going to them. Besides, Bowman already assured Laxus that he would take care of it, and Laxus had come to trust Bowman wholeheartedly and completely.However, as Laxus stayed in his bedroom, he was bored already, even though it was still morning.“What would I do with myself now?” Laxus asked himself.He felt like an invalid just staying indoors and doing nothing on a workday. Laxus wasn’t naturally a lazy man, he preferred to always work, which was why even when he pulled out of the Kin

  • Two Captains In A Boat

    Bowman sat at the backseat in one of his cars with Dragon as his convoy drove over to Darwin’s house. “You said you never wanted to see him face to face again, except it is to kill him,” Dragon said, reminding Bowman of what he said years ago.The drive so far had been quiet, and now, they were even closer to Darwin’s house. Bowman had appreciated the silence, because it gave him time to think deeply, and he had thought that Dragon, who understood him more than anyone else, was giving him the space to do just that, but Bowman was wrong, and he almost groaned out loud when he heard Dragon speak.It was night, which was the perfect time to have whatever meeting he wanted to have with Darwin.“And I haven’t changed that,” Bowman simply said, knowing that if he did not respond to Dragon, he might keep pushing.Sometimes, Dragon could be a real pain in the butt that Bowman could not get rid of.“So we are going in there to kill him?” Dragon asked, a tinge of excitement in his voice.Bowma

  • Firm Declaration

    Linnie had stayed locked up in her room since the doctor broke the news to not just her, but Darwin and Luther.She could still recall the look of excitement and relief on Luther’s face and the look of anger and disappointment on Darwin’s face. Linnie had never felt so humiliated and embarrassed in her entire existence before. In her defense, she had demanded for another test.Maybe Luther might have tried to swing the result, especially being the fact that he did not want Linnie to get pregnant, this was the family hospital and as such, the family doctor might lightly do whatever Luther asked him to do, and the test appointment was pre-booked before today, so Linnie had vehemently demanded for another impromptu test to be carried out on her right there and then; she knew exactly the way she was feeling.Darwin had angrily accepted, and Linnie had selected another random doctor in the hospital and of course, a different laboratory, and they all stayed right there and then so that she

  • It is Time

    “This is preposterous and outrageous!” Laxus said, yelling at the top of his voice in Bowman’s living room.He had left the company right after Detective George served him the charge and left. Laxus was still holding the letter from the court, but he was burning with rage.“Calm down, Laxus,” Bowman said gently, trying to calm Laxus down.“How can you ask me to calm down? The lies they published on the blogs about me is bad enough, but this is just hell and it is going to ruin things!” Laxus said, still fuming and pacing while Bowman just sat still and watched Laxus vent.“You haven’t even touched your drink or sit down since you got here,” Bowman said.He was infuriated at how the whole thing turned out. He was enraged that Darwin was clearly gaining the upper hand. He had suspected that Darwin was the one who had sent someone to go after Laxus; who else would anyway? He just didn’t state his suspicions to Laxus because he wasn’t exactly sure yet, and Laxus was still blindly in the d
