Rise Of The Rightful Heir The Ways Of Integrity
Laxus had been plagued with two major thoughts; how to get Nessy to accept his job offer, because he still wanted her to manage the store, and what he would present to the man that was coming to Abby’s house. Frankly, this was an honorable invitation, and not just that, it was also a rare one, and Laxus knew more than anyone else that he should never let this opportunity slip past him.That morning, Laxus kept going through his files, thinking of the right pitch to make. He had to get it right, because Laxus was not a man that even liked to fail. Also, he knew that he would have to come up with something mind-blowing and fresh. The Zayomi company was the largest distillery company anyone had ever seen or heard about, and as such, the man coming might have heard most of the ideas that Laxus might have used on his own company.Then there was the issue of his company being new in the distillery business, which meant that he would have to go extra hard.Laxus continued to go through the f
Rise Of The Rightful Heir One Problem Solved
Laxus was a proper business man, and not just that, he also knew how well things were done in the world of business to avoid further scandals and lawsuits, so he had given Thaddeus hours to think about his proposal, because he did not have all the time in the world to wait for him.After three hours, Thaddeus returned to Laxus.“Have you come to a conclusion?” Laxus asked him.He would be disappointed if Thaddeus turned him down, of course, but it would not stop Laxus from using his ideas to fly in the company; he was not that kind of man. Being in the business for years, Laxus knew how hard it was to come up with a single proposal, much more something as unique as the one Thaddeus had come up with. Since Laxus wanted to use it as his own personal pitch; he would add a few more ideas to it, of course, but the least he could do was pay Thaddeus for the trouble. Laxus also wanted to do that so that in the nearest future, Thaddeus would not say to anyone that Laxus stole his ideas, even
Rise Of The Rightful Heir Need Over Pride
“Maybe I should have taken the offer,” Nessy said as she lay on her makeshift bed in the counter and thought deeply.She hadn’t been hungry since she last left Bowman’s house, although Nessy was deeply pained that she did not get to eat to her heart’s content or even pack up the food because of Laxus, knowing that she was broke and hungry.Now that she was back to her shack, she did not have a dime to buy any food. Things were very difficult, and Lily was unsafe out here. She could not even believe that despite all these challenges, she allowed her pride to get the better of her.Nessy wasn’t even that kind of person. With everything that she had gone through in life, she could even take the job of wiping the very ground that her enemy walks on if it would feed her.“You know you need the money to feed and get an apartment, but you foolishly turned down an offer that could fetch you all that,” Nessy scolded herself.She bit her fingers in regret. She really shouldn’t have turned Laxu
Rise Of The Rightful Heir Subtly Planned Date
Laxus could not believe how happy and relieved he was that he had been able to get Nessy to agree to work for him. Usually, Laxus should not have cared at all. In fact, he should have thought of somebody else the moment Nessy turned him down, and he was certain that if he had looked, he would have found someone equally worthy, or even more competent, but he just couldn’t.“You are in love with her.”Bowman’s statement flashed in Laxus’s head again, and he quickly shook it off.“I am not in love with Nessy or any other woman for that matter,” Laxus declared to himself firmly. He couldn’t even be in love with Nessy, because if he did, he could have known. To Laxus, he only loved at first sight, just as it had been with Linnie and the few women he had been with before Linnie. Once he saw a woman and his heart skipped a beat, he would know. However, in Nessy’s case, he saw her severally at Mr. Henry’s restaurant, and she even passed the night in his apartment once, but Laxus felt absolut
Rise Of The Rightful Heir Right Next To Each Other
Nessy could not recall the last time she sat at the back of a beautiful and expensive car…actually, she had never sat in a beautiful and fancy car of her own free will, so she had never enjoyed any of the drives.All the times that Nessy had been inside cars like this, she had been forced against her will, from when her parents gave her off to Gary for free because of the money they owed him, to when Linnie Kinkaid persistently disturbed her.Right now, Nessy was not being forced at all, and she allowed herself to enjoy the drive to Laxus’s mansion.However, Nessy’s mind wandered to an uncomfortable territory; she could not stop thinking and imagining Laxus on his date with a woman he referred to as Abby Golden. She would never even be able to forget her name. Nessy knew that it was none of her business, but she could not stop thinking about it. Even though she might not know this woman, Nessy suspected that she would be a wealthy and powerful woman in the country. People like Laxus al
Rise Of The Rightful Heir Firm Agreement
Laxus went back to the company after the so-called lunch date with Abby Golden. Right after he saw that flashlight, he just became very uncomfortable being there, and somehow, he suspected that Abby had something to do with it, but Laxus did not say a word. Instead, he managed for the rest of the time with her, but when he could no longer bear it, he had to lie that he had something urgent to do at work.Laxus flopped on his office chair, exhausted and drained. He really wished he had been able to get hold of the photographer and pay him off to never post those pictures online. Anyway, Laxus was quick to stop thinking about it, because he had more important things to worry about, like Nessy and the meeting with the Zayomi man.Regarding his thoughts, Laxus called Bridget. “Please come to my office,” he said into the phone, and almost immediately, Bridget arrived.“You are back early, sir,” Bridget said lightly. They were slowly cultivating a cordial relationship, and Laxus was comfort
Rise Of The Rightful Heir A Wounded Lion
Linnie finished dinner about an hour ago and she just relaxed in the living room. She wanted to go upstairs and maybe sleep early, but she also had the urge to just stay in the living room, and she decided to go with the urge of the living room.Linnie was already used to having dinner alone and most times, going to bed before Luther arrived from the company or wherever he always went after work, because Linnie knew for a fact that when Luther always arrived home was never the time that he usually closed from the company. Initially, she had thought to trail him, but when better and important things came up in her mind, like securing her place in the Kinkaid Distillery Company, she abandoned that thought.While watching the TV, Linnie’s phone chimed; it was a notification from the blogs. Taking her phone and looking at her screen, Linnie’s eyes widened at what she saw.“Two Billionaire CEOs seem to be giving us the love vibe! For the longest time, we have not had a power couple who are
Rise Of The Rightful Heir An Unlikely Opportunity
Luther stood, frozen in shock at what he had just done. He could not even believe that he was capable of something like that, talk more of actually doing it. The living room was dreadfully quiet, the impact of Luther’s damage hanging over him and Linnie.Linnie also stood, frozen in shock as they both stared at her broken and damaged phone by the wall.The only thing that could be heard from both of them was their breathing, which was as a result of shock. Neither of them ever thought that something like that would ever happen. In a flash of a moment, Luther had become a violent beast and had acted in a way that was erratic and irrational.“Goodness…” Luther said through gasped breath, breaking the ice. Neither of them tore their eyes away from the shattered phone; it was as though they were staring at a scientific resolution and trying to figure out what it might be. “I…I am…sorry,” Luther apologized, stuttering.Linnie swallowed hard. This wasn’t the outcome that she would ever have

Deeper And Deeper
“You could have gotten yourself killed, Dragon! Why don’t you ever listen to me?” Bowman scolded Dragon angrily as they sat at the back of Bowman’s car, returning to his mansion.Aside from his obvious anger, Bowman sounded frightened, and for the first time, Dragon felt the man’s tough and fierce love towards him, and it almost melted Dragon’s heart. It was good to know that Bowman felt the same way he felt about him.“I always listen to you,” Dragon said, groaning in pain.His entire body hurt from wrestling with Darwin and the parts where Darwin’s vengeful punches hit him hurt like hell, but he was more than grateful that he wasn’t dead instead.“Darwin could have killed you in a heartbeat and you know it,” Bowman continued.“Well then, let’s be thankful of small miracles like whatever he saw on his damn phone that made him to lose focus for a second,” Dragon said.He sounded nonchalant about what just happened, but deep down, he was shaky and relieved at the same time. When Darwin
An Escape, Finally
With shaky fingers, Linnie typed a quick message to Darwin and hoped that it would be enough distraction.She could not think of something else that would work effectively in a moment like this.“My men should have killed you when you tried to save Barrister Dickson from my hands, but they were just so incompetent. I am glad that I get to do it myself, and this time around, with a good reason to back it up,” Darwin said as he pointed the gun towards the intruder.Linnie still couldn’t see his face, which she desperately wanted to, because she wanted to see if he was afraid of dying.“Whatever could be a good reason to become a murderer?” The intruder asked.If he was scared and worried for his life, he was perfect at masking it, because he sounded collected and calm, and Linnie wondered how he could have achieved that, being that she was nervous to death from her hiding place.Aside from the fact that she feared that if she got out of this alive, she might have a permanently damaged k
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
