Rise Of The Rightful Heir His Help
Laxus could not stop thinking about everything that was happening around him as well as Bowman’s incredible offer, and at the same time, he could not wait until the next day to meet with Bowman.“What does he want from me?” Laxus asked himself.First of all, he offered Laxus a billion dollar bill to sort out himself, and right after Laxus turned him down, he sends an anonymous recommendation to Mr. Henry to help him retain his job, and also use his connection and money to get Laxus out of prison.“He must definitely want something in return,” Laxus concluded.He wasn’t stupid. There was certainly no way anyone could be this generous without asking for anything in return. Laxus was a stranger to Bowman, and even though he knew that Laxus was a Kinkaid, he was still a stranger, and as such, an impossible notion for him to be so interested in Laxus’s wellbeing all for nothing. Well, whatever Bowman was after would not definitely be as dreadful as the antagonism he was getting from his fa
Rise Of The Rightful Heir The Only Ticket
Linnie was having trouble sleeping as she paced about her room in her silky expensive robe.She and Luther had separate bedrooms right from the beginning of their marriage, and she could literally count the number of times they have had sex.“How am I supposed to get pregnant?” Linnie would often ask herself whenever she was being reminded that she should have birthed a Kinkaid child for Luther. In truth, Linnie hadn’t put in extra effort to get Luther to bed her, because she was more focused on getting herself into the Kinkaid company than having a baby. If she had a baby, they would ensure that she stayed indoors and nurtured the child, but if Linnie managed to get a seat in the company, she would be able to secure a future for herself.Being Luther’s wife alone was not enough.Linnie thought about her life before she met Laxus Kinkaid, and she shook her head furiously.“I am never going back there,” Linnie told herself firmly, and she meant it.Darwin could embarrass and humiliate
Rise Of The Rightful Heir Love Or Money?
Linnie continued to pace about as her mind flashed back to everything that had happened, how she had twisted fate to her advantage that took her out of the slum and the cruel and greedy hands of her uncle and his wife, and the decisions that she had taken to also change her life for the better.After she had given Laxus his wallet as though he had forgotten it and had graciously returned it, Laxus had picked an instant interest in her. Soon enough, a relationship began between them, spurred by the fact that Linnie had pretended not to have known that he was Laxus Kinkaid. Laxus had been impressed, because according to him, he had always been with women who were only with him for his money.“I find you quite interesting, and being with you makes me feel safe and comfortable. I do not have to try as much as possible to act like I am the son of a rich man, because you accepted me even before you knew who I was,” Laxus had said on the day that he had asked Linnie to be his girlfriend. “Al
Rise Of The Rightful Heir Nothing
“Please, protect me from those who would aim to hurt me as a result of Gary’s death.”Those had been Nessy’s exact words and Laxus could not stop thinking about them. Before Nessy had left his apartment the day before, she had begged him to protect her. How she ever thought that Laxus would be able to protect her, Laxus had no idea.“The boss will see you shortly,” one of the domestic workers at Bowman’s mansion informed Laxus, disrupting his thought.“Okay, thank you,” Laxus said as he shifted thoughts of Nessy and her plea away from his mind.Then he sat up straighter as he waited for Bowman. He could not fill his mind with thoughts of Nessy and whatever problems she might be having when he also had problems of his own. He never told Nessy, but he was in a more danger of rotting away if he didn’t find a way to keep their cruelty at bay. “Laxus!” Bowman called out as he walked into his living room, looking refreshed and energetic.There was just something about Bowman that proved tha
Rise Of The Rightful Heir Plunged Deeper
“You want something from me,” Laxus insisted. “There is no way you can make me believe that you want nothing from me,” Laxus faced Bowman and said, getting more agitated. It was as though he was going deeper and deeper into a hole with Bowman. “What you want from me?” Laxus questioned.“You are tense, Laxus,” Bowman said calmly.His calmness when Laxus was having a hard time mentally made Laxus even more uncomfortable. “What do you want from me?” Laxus asked more firmly. “If you insist that it is nothing, I would have to decline your offer and leave,” Laxus stated.He did not mean that, of course, because he was too desperate to turn down Bowman’s offer. Right now, more than ever before, Laxus had realized that he needed some money and power. Passing a night in cell made him realize what he was up against, but the incident with Nessy made him conclude that there was no way out of this now.Bowman stared at Laxus intently, trying to decipher the extent of Laxus’s threat, and Laxus ens
Rise Of The Rightful Heir Clip His Wings
Darwin waited until it was late in the evening before packing up to leave, including his secretary, because he did not need any interruptions.When Darwin was certain that most of his staff members had gone home, he called one of his drivers and said into the phone, “You may drive home, but leave the tinted Lexus car behind. I have a very important appointment that I need to sort out alone.”“Yes, boss,” Darwin’s driver said and ended the call. Darwin watched from his window to ensure that his drivers and bodyguards had driven out. Then he grabbed his briefcase and walked out of the office, but when he passed by Luther’s office, he was surprised to see that Luther’s office door was ajar and Luther was speaking in low tones. Darwin tried to eavesdrop into Luther’s conversation, but Luther’s voice was so low that no matter how closely Darwin glued his ears to the door, he could not hear a single word that Luther was saying.Darwin had no other choice than to open the door.Luther was s
Rise Of The Rightful Heir Delayed For Good
Laxus went home right after he stormed out of Bowman’s house. He turned the offer down, and this time around, he meant it.“I will not be used a second time,” Laxus said firmly to himself.He had given his best to the Kinkaid Distillery Company and what did he get at the end? Laxus was not stupid, and he was right to even demand for what Bowman wanted, because he knew damn well that there was no way Bowman would give him such an amount of money without desiring something in return. “I am not going to allow myself to become a tool in another’s man’s hands,” Laxus vowed to himself.First of all, he already sensed that there was something underneath Bowman’s supposed “generosity” and “care” towards him. Secondly, Bowman held a grudge against his family, and he was looking for a tool that he would use. Laxus might not know the story behind that, and he knew that his family was capable of indulging in something that was callous and evil, but he did not want to be a part of it. What Laxus
Rise Of The Rightful Heir A Dangerous Stranger
Laxus was shocked to his bones!What was Linnie doing here at this time of the night, and more importantly, how did she know that Nessy would be right here?Laxus was stunned and confused, and he would have wondered if Nessy had spoken with Linnie, because at this point, Laxus could not trust anyone and what they were incapable of doing. If she could hide her identity as someone living with Gary even to Mr. Henry, her boss, then there were things that Laxus certainly did not know about her, but then again, Laxus saw the shock and dread in Nessy’s eyes, so if she had called Linnie, she wouldn’t be this shocked.“I know your face,” Nessy said with shaky breath as she tried to remember Linnie’s face and where she had seen her. “You were at Laxus’s house the other night,” Nessy finally got Linnie’s face.Laxus stood by the corner, watching them and listening to their conversation with a beating heart. He wanted to intervene, but he stopped. To Nessy, Laxus was still a random young man who

A Brother's Warning Visit
It had been a long day for Laxus, but one thing he was grateful for was that he had been able to warn Linnie off. Nevertheless, he had also instructed one of bodyguards to hang around Nessy’s apartment just in case Linnie tried to be stubborn, because she was not to be trusted. He had given the bodyguard a firm instruction to not only prevent anyone strange from gaining access into the apartment, but also informing him immediately. Laxus would do anything to keep Nessy safe.Albeit, Nessy was not aware of the bodyguard arrangement.Laxus didn’t get the chance to go back to the office and speak to Bridget about what Nessy said about her, but he could always do that the next day. For now, Laxus wanted to just have his dinner and rest fully. However, that seemed impossible when Laxus got the alarm; someone new had approached his gate.Laxus called his security instantly.“Who is that?” Laxus asked.“He says his name is Luther Kinkaid, sir,” his security answered, taking Laxus aback.“Are
The Meet-Up
Laxus waited for Linnie at the location he sent to her. It was a private place, and because of his standing in the city, he was assured of privacy.Laxus would not have demanded for privacy in this manner, but he needed to address and correct things. He also knew that he should have just gone about this the legal way, but judging by Darwin’s lawsuit threat, if he went right ahead with legal restriction orders, they might twist the narrative and say that Laxus was only doing it because of what he was being accused of, and knowing how gullible the public were, they would buy it hook, line, and sinker.Laxus knew without a doubt that Linnie would show up and show he waited for her patiently, and he was right; Linnie walked right in a couple of minutes later. She had a smile on her face, but as Laxus set his eyes on her, his stomach recoiled in anger.“Have you ordered something for me? You have always known what I like and gotten it correctly,” Linnie said sweetly.Laxus was only having
Still Getting The Shitty Treatment
Darwin, Luther, and Linnie, along with the other members of the board spent ample time having a meeting in the conference room where Luther made some presentations as well as Linnie.One thing Linnie observed was how well Luther presented the assignment given to him.Linnie knew her husband. First of all, regardless of the fact that he now showed up at the company every day without fail, he did not really give a shit about Kinkaid Distillery Company. In fact, he was now extremely showing signs of dedication and commitment simply because she had been hired. Secondly, he was not that smart. If Laxus had done the presentation, Linnie would have been wowed by the excellence, but not Luther Kinkaid.Everyone was impressed, but Linnie was skeptical.“Well, the meeting is over now,” Darwin began after all said and done. “Everyone should please take their jobs seriously and ensure that we are on board. This company must be ranked as the best distillery company in the city, and no other compan
Keep Him In The Dark
“What are you going to do about what the doctor has told you?” Dragon asked Bowman as they drove back to his mansion.It was settled now that Laxus would make quick and discreet arrangements for Barrister Dickson to be flown out of the country and attended to properly.“Laxus is in trouble,” Bowman said instead, pretending to not have heard Dragon. “He is being dragged for something that he is innocent about, and Darwin is doing this to tarnish his image and hard work,” Bowman added.It was obvious that he was trying to avoid the topic, but Dragon was not about to let Bowman get away with this one. When Bowman had gone into the Doctor’s office, Dragon had eavesdropped. He wasn’t usually a man to do something like that, but with the way Bowman dismissed Laxus and spoke to the doctor, even with the way they had gone into his office, Dragon was certain that something was off.More importantly, Dragon was worried about Bowman.He had noticed some changes in Bowman recently even though he
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
