Rise Of The Rightful Heir Two Pairs Of Good News
Linnie could not stop fuming at how Darwin discarded her like a piece of used tissue. It wasn’t new, but it didn’t mean that it would not hurt Linnie severely, especially when she was doing everything she could to get Darwin to see her, but each time she thought that she had done it, Darwin would treat her worse than the previous time and let her know that she was still unworthy.“What does the old bastard want?” Linnie asked herself as she paced about in her bedroom.She was so enraged and embittered that she did not even know what to do. “I should not have gone to him,” Linnie told herself. “I should have handled things myself. This would have been my opportunity to get close to Laxus again, but then I messed it up by going to Darwin instead…the spiteful old hag!” Linnie cursed.She genuinely wished that she could say those exact words to Darwin’s face. Deep down, Linnie could not wait to spit in Darwin’s face and say all the words that were embedded in her heart against it. She kn

Luther lingered for a while after work. He had been doing that for a while now, and the good thing about it was that no one could ask him questions, because he was also the boss, even though not officially, but everyone knew that he was next in line to his father.“Oh well, now that that ended well, I can do what I have in mind,” Luther said to himself.He had a plan earlier before his father summoned him and gave him a task that almost seemed impossible, but Luther had done it, even though it wasn’t what his father had initially expected of him. “Make sure that we never have to worry about Laxus again,” were the exact words of Darwin to Luther hours earlier. “Or do I need to handle it myself?” He had asked.Luther was not as stupid as everyone took him to be; he knew exactly what his father meant by that statement, and if he had been talking about someone else, anyone at all, Luther would have simply taken a bow and allowed his father handle it the best way he deemed fit. He might h

Luther was like a volcano waiting to explode as he drove home in a mad rush. The drive made him more frustrated because of rush hour. A lot of people were returning from work, so there was a little bit of traffic, and Luther wished that he could climb over their heads.“Isn’t there another route that you can take?” Luther asked his driver.Sitting at the backseat made it even more frustrating. Luther wanted to take over the steering wheel and drive to his heart’s content, even though he knew that his driver was already driving fast enough, given Luther’s orders.Luther could not stop looking at the text message.He was beginning to have a migraine just staring at it. The message had come some hours ago, but Luther didn’t even bother to check his phone; he had been consumed with the deep urge and desire to go over to Abby’s and see her. So for the life of him, Luther could not understand why that message decided to catch his attention at that very moment.The very moment he regretted d

Laxus was on his way to work when Bowman called him.“Where are you?” Bowman asked.“On my way to work,” Laxus answered.He was eve surprised that Bowman was asking him that kind of question; it was a work day, and it was early in the morning, and Bowman knew that Laxus would either be at work or on his way to work at this time. He wondered why Bowman was asking.“I thought you would be taking the day off,” Bowman said with deep concern in his voice.“Why would I want to do that?” Laxus asked Bowman.He understood that Bowman was worried about him because of what happened the day before, but after staying with Bowman and sleeping it off, Laxus woke up feeling better. Besides, Laxus would not allow an attack on his life stop him from doing his job. It wasn’t even as though he was attacked at the company, so why should he be taking the day off?“You were pretty shaken yesterday, Laxus. I am astonished that you are even up already,” Bowman said.“I already slept it off, Bowman. I am good
Rise Of The Rightful Heir Squashed!
Linnie was still in a bubbly mood that morning, so much so that she could hardly contain her joy.Her hospital appointment with Darwin and Luther to confirm her pregnancy was scheduled for this morning; in an hour’s time, actually, and Linnie was taking her time to get dressed.She still had the image of Darwin and Luther’s expression yesterday in her head. Darwin had obviously been pleased, but her husband on the other hand, had seemed as though something horrible had just happened to him. Linnie was overjoyed, because it was obvious now that Luther never wanted her to get pregnant so that he could be taunting her for the rest of his life, and also have a reason to kick her out of the Kinkaid family, and she was just happy that again, she had been able to disappoint him.It was even preposterous that he would accuse her of not getting pregnant when they both slept in separate rooms and never had sex. Well, one thing that Luther would realize at the end of the day was that Linnie was
Rise Of The Rightful Heir Audacity At Its Peak
Laxus saw the look in the detective’s eyes and he decided that he was not going to condone any insolence or disrespect from him.When he worked at Mr. Henry’s restaurant was different from now. Detective George had the nerve to bully him at that time because Laxus had no money, power, and connection, but that was not the same anymore, which just happened to how the system worked, even though Laxus hated it.It was just rotten that people who were poor and helpless got treated like trash by the law, but the wealthy and famous could easily hide their evildoings and get away with breaking the law.“You don’t have an appointment,” Laxus said, his jaw tight with anger.“Come on, Laxus, I am a detective, and as such, I don’t need a permission or a bloody appointment to see anyone,” Detective George said with a coy grin playing on his lips.“I am Mr. Laxus, Detective George, and you will either accord me that respect or I will have my team of security guards throw you out. Do you even have a

Nessy, as usual, lingered after everyone had closed for the night. She used the excuse of cleaning up and arranging things just to stay longer than necessary, urging the other waitresses to leave.Nessy was turning over the tables when Mr. Henry walked up to her, ready to leave.“Nessy, you are always working so hard and diligently too,” he commended.Nessy smiled, because she knew that she was putting in all her efforts into ensuring that she did the best that she could. It was not just because she had no place to lay her head at night or because she was worried about being jobless and penniless that made her work so hard, no. Nessy was naturally a diligent and hardworking person, even when she lived with her parents and served Gary. “I do my best,” Nessy said humbly.“I have been watching you since I employed you. When you were waiting tables with the other waitresses, you were exceptional at what you did and how you attended to the customers, and when things started to go badly fo

“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

Good Guess
Unable to express her shock and fear by gasping, Linnie’s mouth fell open.Darwin had a gun with him and she doubted that the other man knew this!She had never seen Darwin with a gun before. Heck, she had never even imagined that he was a gun man. Granted, everyone who knew Darwin knew that he was a dangerous man, but a gun? The way he kept the gun between his belt and waist, it was obvious that he was not an amateur.It then dawned on Linnie that the situation was more dire and dangerous than she had thought it was.Now, Linnie was even more afraid for the intruder’s life than she was for herself. At least, Darwin had no idea that she was in his office as well; neither of the men knew that there was a third party, and if she was lucky, none of them would bother themselves with coming around Darwin’s desk.The thought of Darwin shooting and killing someone in her very presence scared the shit out of Linnie, and she realized that she was not even as strong-hearted and cruel as she had
Some Kinkaid Truths
We meet again, Darwin.”Linnie heard the man say, and even though she could not see him, he did not sound anything remotely resembling someone who was afraid, even though he was the intruder.Linnie wasn’t that surprised, because she already knew that assassins and men that did other people’s dirty works did not live in fear or faced obstacles with trembling. They might get scared at a point, but somehow, they had trained themselves never to display any form of fear, especially in situations like this.The only person who was dying of fear was Linnie herself.She could hear her heart thumping loudly and slamming hard against her ribs, and she worried that with the way her heart was beating, Darwin and the intruder would hear. She was worried that the sound of her beating heart which she was hearing in her ears would attract their attention.Linnie tried to steady her racing heart and put her mind to rest, but she could not. She was right in the face of danger, and she had no idea what
Room For Three
Dragon entered Darwin’s office and met it quiet and calm as expected; it was late by the way, but something made him wary. He had hoped that he would have some difficulty getting the door to open, but then again, the door had been totally unlocked. He knew that Darwin was not a clumsy man who would carelessly leave his office door open, especially considering the fact that he was hiding something.But then again, he never would have thought that Dragon would maneuver his security and enter his office at night, so it might also be possible that he felt safe enough not to lock his office door properly.Now that he had successfully gained entry into Darwin’s office, Dragon took his cell phone and dialed Bowman’s number.Bowman picked almost immediately, as though he had been waiting for Dragon’s call. Anyway, Dragon suspected that Bowman did not stick to the instruction of resting. Rather, he stayed awake and vigilant, waiting to hear from Dragon.“I have been able to get access into hi
Intrusion
Linnie called Darwin and waiting for him to pick up his call. She was calling because she wanted to make sure that she kept records with Darwin. Being the kind of man that he was, Linnie knew without a doubt that if there was a tiny chance that this could swing in her favor, by whichever means, then she would have to let him know what was going on.Darwin picked on the third ring.“What do you want?” He asked grudgingly without waiting for Linnie to say a word after the call connected.“It’s Luther,” Linnie reported. Well, if he wanted to continue being a rude asshole, then she might as well go right to the point. Linnie had no intentions of lingering on the call with him by the way.“What about him? Is he well?” Darwin asked, his voice softening a bit. It was obvious that he cared only about his son, which shouldn’t even come as a surprise to Linnie in the first place.“I think he is seeing Abby Golden,” Linnie reported firmly.“What makes you think that?” Darwin asked impatiently.
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,
