Rise Of The Rightful Heir Spurred By Thoughtful Gesture
Laxus was the first to catch himself and clear his throat, because he suddenly realized that Bridget was standing right behind him. Then he walked into the store and Bridget followed.“Good morning, Mr. Laxus,” Nessy equally cleared her throat and greeted professionally.Meanwhile, Bridget threw Nessy a disgusting look, but Laxus did not notice it, because his full attention was glued on Nessy and how she looked standing right in his hamburger store, in that apron, and looking beautiful. Ironically, Laxus had never seen Nessy that way before when they worked for Mr. Henry, or maybe he was too carried away with trying to work so hard so that he would be able to afford basic needs, and also, Linnie and Luther’s betrayal was still very fresh in his heart.“You can drop the formality, Nessy; I have repeatedly told you this,” Laxus said, not minding that Bridget was standing right there.“This is a formal place, sir,” Nessy said, reminding Laxus.She seemed rather uncomfortable to Laxus, a
Rise Of The Rightful Heir Her First Assignment
Linnie and Luther sat at the back of one of their cars as their driver followed Darwin’s car closely behind.In less than an hour, Darwin had summoned the presence of Detective George; to make Thaddeus think of it less as a threat-visit. Then after Detective George arrived, he and Darwin got into Darwin’s car while Darwin drove.“There will not be any need for convoys; they will only draw unnecessary attention to us. We are going to go over to him and handle this discreetly,” Darwin had told them.Thankfully, Darwin hadn’t frowned at Luther and Linnie using one of their cars or drivers, because Luther was boiling in anger and jealousy. He was angry for so many things, knowing that he had created this situation with his own hands. The last thing he ever wanted was to have Linnie, whom he knew as a desperate and blood-sucking bitch to become a part of the company. Luther was willing to do anything to keep her as a childless trophy Kinkaid housewife, but now, all that had changed. Then h
Rise Of The Rightful Heir Well Handled
“Dad, why does she have to be the one to do it?” Luther asked angrily, facing Darwin.“When I asked you what was to be done, what was your response?” Darwin asked Luther who reared his head back in embarrassment.Worse, he heard Linnie snigger. Right there and then, Luther wanted to tell his father that he would no longer be going in with them; since his father had now begun to relegate tasks to Linnie, he might as well make himself unavailable. Besides, he even wanted to be elsewhere desperately.“We are all going in there, and Linnie is going to prove her worth,” Darwin declared boldly, making Luther’s desire of leaving now impossible. “Now, everyone, come with me let’s go and fix this shit,” Darwin said as he matched towards the front door.Detective George followed immediately, and just when Linnie also moved her feet to follow too, Luther grabbed her arm roughly, but Linnie did not yelp in pain.“I hope you fail woefully,” Luther said through gritted teeth.Linnie looked at him a
Rise Of The Rightful Heir New Interest
Linnie sipped her glass of brandy and relaxed at their secluded spot as she waited for Bridget to show up. If Bridget hadn’t said that they needed to meet urgently, she would have gladly celebrated the best day of her life at home. On a second thought, maybe here was even better, because a sulking and jealous Luther would have tried everything possible to ruin her good mood.“I knew you would amount to something,” Linnie told herself.She was having the most expensive brandy in the bar, and she was extremely happy. It was a little bit late, and she wanted to have the evening all to herself. Hopefully, Luther would not ruin things for her by calling her. She had smashed the assignment Darwin had given her, because she had been able to get Thaddeus on their team, even easier than she had anticipated, and for the first time, Darwin had openly declared that he was proud of her.“You have done excellently well, Linnie, and I must admit that you have made me prouder than I have been in a r
Rise Of The Rightful Heir Misunderstood Question
Luther drive straight to Abby’s mining company the moment they closed from work. He was itching all day to leave the company, but unlike before, he could not just stand up and leave, knowing that he now had a competitor, and Linnie would be glad if he did anything that made him look bad or incompetent in front of his father.Luther still had intentions to speak with his father regarding hiring Linnie, but for now, he just wanted to see Abby and be happy.“You will have to wait for a moment, sir, because Miss Abby Golden is having an important meeting and she is not to be disturbed,” Abby’s secretary had told Luther.“I will wait for as long as it takes,” Luther had responded.So Luther had sat down and waited patiently, anticipating his meeting and rehearsing what he would say and not say in Abby’s presence. It was as though he was meeting a woman for the first time, and that was what even made Luther certain that he was in love with Abby. He was even skeptical about still meeting Abb
Rise Of The Rightful Heir Subtly Getting Closer
It was a completely busy day for Nessy, and she really liked it, because she enjoyed every single thing that she did; arranging the store, going shopping with the company’s driver and car to fill up the store, and even baking a single hamburger as sample.Laxus already accepted all her proposals, and also informed her about what he wanted to be done, and she was happy to obey his instructions, because if Nessy knew of anyone that knew exactly what he was doing, it would be Laxus. She could not wait for the hamburger store to be officially lunched. Laxus had already informed her that it would be next week, being that they would still have to employ some workers for various tasks and finish setting up the store.Nessy was very happy!After everything that she had been through, she could not believe that luck was shining on her, and also, she had a good apartment to go back to after work. However, Nessy could not stop thinking about the hug that Laxus gave her, and more, the intense emot
Rise Of The Rightful Heir Two Major Enemies
Luther drove back home like a wounded beast. Even though the conversation had just been between himself and Abby Golden, he had felt insulted and humiliated. Maybe he would not have won the contract with the Zayomi man, but he would have at least given it his best shot, and now, he had lost on both sides.“She prefers Laxus over me,” Luther said to himself angrily and bitterly.First, he had to marry a woman that Laxus had already been with, which was like marrying a hand-me-down woman, and now, the one woman that Luther loved dearly, Laxus wanted to steal her away as well. Luther was certain that if Laxus wasn’t in the picture at all, he would have had his chance with Abby, regardless of his marital status.“He is the more brilliant son, the more loved and favored grandson when granny was alive, and now, he is getting everything he wanted,” Luther continued to talk to himself hatefully.He was sick and tired of being rejected and Laxus being accepted. The only time he had enjoyed bei
Rise Of The Rightful Heir Who To Go With
It had been a very busy week for Laxus; online meetings with the men from Zayomi, trying to fix the hamburger store with Nessy and hiring workers to assist her, and also running the company’s affairs. Laxus could barely blink his eyes to rest, and he could not wait for the weekend where he would get to rest eventually.Anyway, one of the reasons Laxus was happy that he had been entirely busy was the fact that it helped him keep his mind off everything that transpired in Mr. Golden’s mansion, and also, the way he felt whenever he was close to Nessy. Every single day, they spent at least two hours together, and Laxus continued to fight his feelings towards her. He knew that it was not love; it could never be love…Laxus had declared himself incapable of loving any woman ever again, but then again, he could not tell what it was.However, being busy made him think of Nessy less, because as soon as he left her presence to face work, he usually forgot about her, or thought of her less.

Wrong Answers
Linnie was fuming after Luther picked up Abby’s call and left their home.She could not believe the level of audacity and disrespect from him, and it was obvious that he did not care about the consequences of such actions. Linnie had been upset, especially with what happened between them, but she had seen it as an opportunity to get what she wanted. If Luther was cheating on her with Abby Golden, that would be grounds for a favorable divorce for Linnie, because she would leave the sham of a marriage with Luther’s share of the Kinkaid inheritance, and she would not have to worry about being poor and wretched for the rest of her life.More, she would not have to deal with Luther or his sick father, Darwin, and she would be free to fight for Laxus’s love, regardless of the fact that he was now married.So, Linnie had called Detective George and had asked him to trail Luther and keep an eye on him, and of course, bring back the one news that Linnie wanted to hear so badly. She hated Abby
Any Kind Of Favor
Luther would never allow anything to prevent him from taking Abby’s call, including her stare, so in less than an hour, Luther was driving to see Abby. He was more than ecstatic and hopeful and he could barely wait to get to Abby. At this point, Luther did not care whether or not his repercussions would cause him his inheritance as long as he got what he wanted from Abby.As soon as Luther got to the open restaurant, he hurried into the restaurant, seeking Abby’s table.It was an expensive restaurant, no doubt, but it was also open, so at the end of the day, it couldn’t be termed that they met at a private place, although that was what Luther would have preferred.“Thank you for coming,” Abby said the moment Luther got to her and sat down.“No, Abby, I should be the one thanking you for calling and asking to see me,” Luther said, trying so hard not to sound overly excited.As he looked at Abby, he felt his heart crack. She did not look very happy, and he knew that Laxus’s marriage to
Do You Love Me?
Laxus’s convoy was at the airport to pick them up as soon as their flight landed. Since Nessy said what she said, Laxus had been unable to get through to her. It was almost as though she had turned into a stone that could not be penetrated, and it broke Laxus’s heart that they would become this sort of couple.As soon as they got outside the airport and headed towards their car, bloggers and paparazzi gathered around them like flies to a moth.“Welcome back, Mr. Laxus and Mrs. Nessy!” “How was your trip?”“Mr. Laxus, did you get to sign the contract?”“Mrs. Nessy, how does being the wife of Mr. Laxus feel?”Questions kept flying from different angles and corners as Laxus’s bodyguards tried to shield them from the nosiness of the reporters. Laxus noticed that Nessy had gradually held his hand. He was so caught up with trying to avoid the bloggers that he hadn’t when Nessy had taken his hand.Laxus did not resist her hold onto him.Camera lights flashed in their eyes as the bloggers an
An Angry Husband
Luther felt like a piece of trash at dawn, and as he returned to his bedroom, he had tears in his eyes.He had never hated sleeping with anyone the way he hated doing so with Linnie.He got washed up and went downstairs for breakfast sooner than usual, because he wanted to get away from the house. Luther already made up his mind that he would go to where he usually went before he was forced into showing up at the Kinkaid Distillery Company every single day.Luther needed to get a distraction otherwise he would lose his mind.This was the third time he was sleeping with Linnie since they got married, and each time was worse than the last. He wanted nothing to do with her, and now that his father had forced his hand into getting her pregnant to save the family name, Luther had to try, and he hoped that it would happen soonest so that he would not have to do it for long.More so, Abby’s rejection had fueled him into accepting.If only Abby had accepted him, Luther was more than willing a
Snake Under The Grass
“Good, good,” Bowman said hastily. “It is a good thing that you know me already, so we will just get straight to the point,” Bowman added, intentionally doing so to prevent Barrister Dickson from spilling what Bowman didn’t want anyone to know just yet, including Dragon.“Thank you for sticking it out for me after the attack; I was told,” Barrister Dickson said weakly. “I am sure you did all that for Laxus,” he added.Bowman swallowed. The tone of the lawyer indicated that he might fall into sleep again. Being that they were fortunate to have the man’s brains back, Bowman did not want to take chances. He could sleep and wake up clueless again, but the good thing was that he was far away from Darwin’s knowledge and reach. At least, before Darwin would know of it, Bowman would have gotten what he wanted from the lawyer.“Why does Darwin want you dead?” Bowman asked, going straight to the point.There was still no proof or evidence that it was Darwin who was behind the attack, but still,
No More Time
Bowman was more than excited about what Dragon told him. He did not even want to worry about why such important information got to Dragon first, as long as it was good news.“I want to speak with him right now,” Bowman requested firmly.“And you will, but I was told that according to their time zone, you should be able to speak to him in two hours time,” Dragon informed Bowman.“Then let me speak with the doctor,” Bowman said.He could not even hide the fact that he was very relieved. Asking to speak to the doctor just to be sure was not an indication that he did not trust Dragon, and thankfully, Dragon already knew about these things. With Dragon, Bowman did not need to explain himself, which was one of the reasons they had had a good working relationship over the years.Dragon instantly dialed the number and gave it to Bowman who put in on speaker.“How did they get your number anyway?” Bowman asked while they waited for the foreign doctor to take the call.“When Laxus was filling i
A Hopeful News
Bowman had just finished with his appointment with the doctor, and he tried not to let the weight of his words sit too long in his heart.“Your condition is getting critical, Bowman.”Those had been his words, and after which he had prescribed some medications to keep Bowman ready for the meantime. Bowman had checked with good hospitals privately, and they had all come out with the same result; heart condition.Bowman stepped out of the hospital slowly, thinking about what the doctor said and still trying to be bold about it. The good thing about staying anonymously powerful, influential and filthy rich was the fact that he could go wherever he wanted to go to without being chased around by nosy bloggers and paparazzi. Bowman was only being discreet because he did not want news of it to get to Laxus yet, even though it was unlikely, being that people did not know that he and Laxus had any relationship or connection whatsoever.Bowman groaned in exasperation when he saw Dragon waiting
Change In Attitude
Laxus had the sighed and sealed contract in his hand, but for some reason, he did not feel triumphant. He should be feeling elated, because he knew exactly what this contract with the Zayomi company would do for the company he was handling for Bowman, and also, especially how far he had come just to get it, but he wasn’t.Right before the meeting, the Zayomi man had found a way to persuade the other men into asking Nessy to excuse them from the executive chambers.“We already know that Laxus is now married, even though it caused quite a bad scandal and a stir in his country,” the Zayomi man had begun just before the meeting had officially started.“It didn’t cause any bad scandal, the last time I recall,” Laxus had gently and respectfully interrupted, correcting the impression the Zayomi man was trying to create amongst the other men and also doing it with respect.Even though he was already feeling upset about the switch in the character of the man from Zayomi, Laxus felt that since
Whorish Treatment
“What?” Linnie asked, confused and surprised at the same time. She was not sure that she heard Luther correctly.“Are you deaf or something?” Luther asked harshly, his eyes blazing hot with anger.Even though where he stood was a little dark because it was late and Linnie’s bedroom light did not illuminate brightly in that area, she could see and feel his anger and irritation in the core of her bones.“I am not deaf, Luther, but I am wondering if you are drunk,” Linnie said, standing confidently and facing Luther as he slowly entered her room.They had been married long enough now, but Linnie could count the number of times that Luther had entered into her room, as compared to the times that she had entered his.“Maybe getting drunk would have been a better idea, now that you have mentioned it,” Luther spat. “At least, being drunk would make me less aware of being with a woman like you,” Luther added spitefully.His words sliced through Linnie’s heart, but she decided that she would n
