Rise Of The Rightful Heir A Determined Woman
Linnie waited in her car patiently. She had been waiting for over an hour now, but she could not afford to get impatient. She knew that if she got impatient, she might not get what she came all the way for. It was bright in the day, and from what Linnie gathered, it was Detective George’s off day.Thankfully, she had used the tinted car so no one would even know that she was the one who was leisurely parked close to his apartment, and also, Linnie had come alone. She did not make use of the drivers and bodyguards, because she did not want any of her business getting to the ears of Luther, especially now that he was determined to bring her down.“No one can kick me out of the Kinkaid family,” Linnie vowed to herself.She had gone over and beyond to get a spot in one of the richest, most influential and powerful family in the entire country; she even had to give up her love and devotion to Laxus even after years of being together, and she would not allow any of that to go to waste. Eve
Rise Of The Rightful Heir On Both Sides
Linnie arrived home with an achievement, but she had just gotten herself something to be worried about.“Darwin has discovered that the mansion that Laxus’s grandmother left behind is now worth billions of dollars, and she bequeathed it to Laxus.”Those had been the revelation from Detective George. Linnie hadn’t even needed to press further, or threaten more before Detective George had thrown in the towel.“Such a lousy prick,” Linnie had said as she left his smelling apartment. “I wonder why Darwin didn’t pick a more solid officer,” Linnie had added.She had gotten what she wanted without much hassle, but she had also been disappointed. If he could succumb to her easily, then it also meant that he should not be trusted. Well, that was something that Linnie had just discovered that would help her gain favor with Darwin.“When the time comes,” She had told herself as she drove out of the neighborhood. A smart woman knew that the best way to win was gather evidences and use them at the
Rise Of The Rightful Heir Stark Denial
“I don’t know anyone by that name,” Linnie lied with a straight face.Meanwhile, she was very mad that Olivia would do as much as go to Luther. What did she go to him for? Linnie would never let anyone destroy all that she had built over the years, especially not Olivia who put her through hell and made her hate her very existence.Linnie grabbed her robe by the bedside and covered herself up; it was obvious that the mission had been ruined, which was just shameful, because the lingerie was quite expensive, and she might just be ovulating, which meant that if they had had sex like a husband and wife would, there was every possibility that she would get pregnant.“I don’t know anyone by that name,” Linnie repeated as she got off the bed and attempted to walk out of the room while Luther’s questioning eyes stayed glued to her.“You are lying, and you know dad would not take kindly to that,” Luther said, making Linnie stop in her tracks.She turned to Luther with a mean expression on her
Rise Of The Rightful Heir Two Skilled Actors
Linnie would rather die than give Luther the satisfaction of winning this round. Regardless of whatever was going on within the walls of their home, Linnie would never pass up the opportunity to show that she was Linnie Kinkaid.“You will have to try harder next time, Luther,” Linnie said as she got dressed.It was a good thing that she always had new dresses in her wardrobe; one of the advantages of living in wealth, luxury, and abundance. All she needed to do was wear something that would turn heads, even though Luther’s head had proven to be the stiffest, and apply some makeup. What Luther did by not informing her on time was a deliberate act, but what Luther also didn’t know what that she was good with a good number of things, and that included beautifying herself.In less than thirty minutes, Linnie was done, and when she stared at her reflection in the mirror, she absolutely liked what she was seeing. She could have looked way more beautiful if she had had the time to hire styli
Rise Of The Rightful Heir Two Notorious Options
After his conversation with Nessy, while Laxus appreciated the fact that she did not rope him in even though she could have easily done so just to set herself free, Laxus decided that he would rather stay away from Nessy.Not that she was a bad person, but Laxus realized that Linnie was now trying to use Nessy to get to him, so the earlier he detached himself from her, the better off he might be.Regardless of what was going on, Laxus needed a job, and he needed one really fast. He was very broke and penniless now, and in one time, if he did not get a job, he might starve to death. Laxus knew that it would be difficult getting a job without proper recommendation, and worse now that he already had a prison record, so he decided to go for menial jobs. It would not meet most of his needs and get him a new apartment, but it would put food on his table for now.Also, Laxus would live in a rock, away from his manipulative and callous family if push comes to shoves.Laxus made a turn on the
Rise Of The Rightful Heir Repackaged Offer
Laxus arrived in Bowman’s house being driven by his driver and bodyguard in the front seat.Laxus hated to be here, but then again, he would rather face a harmless Bowman and tell him to his face once again that he wasn’t interested in his offer, and that he would never be interested, rather than face another rigorous interrogative section with a detective who wanted nothing but to see Laxus jailed for something he did not do.Laxus had been somewhat satisfied when he caught the detective’s regretful face as he watched Laxus jump into Bowman’s car and the driver drove off at top speed, but that satisfaction had long expired when Laxus realized that he was not going to a place he liked either.“Please, come out of the car,” the bodyguard said. He had opened the door for more than five minutes now, but Laxus hadn’t made a move to get down from the car, so he had to say the words.“I want to leave,” Laxus demanded.It was a ridiculous thing to say, especially with the way he had jumped i
Rise Of The Rightful Heir Not A Fool
“I already have everything in motion, so all you just need to do is take your position as the CEO,” Bowman explained.Laxus still stared at Bowman like a zombie as his rejection words died in his throat. “CEO?” Laxus asked.He was not dumb; becoming the CEO wasn’t the same thing as overseeing it. If one was the CEO of any establishment, just like his father, it meant that the person had full or half ownership of that establishment. Bowman’s word had been for Laxus to oversee it, and now he was mentioning CEO.Laxus felt like it was still the same trap that was packaged in a different way.“Yes, CEO,” Bowman responded; that was to show that he knew exactly what he was talking about and that his earlier mention of it wasn’t a slip of the tongue.“You want me to take ownership of the company,” Laxus stated the obvious. “I already told you that I wasn’t interested in taking anything from you,” Laxus added. He was not going to sell his conscience and worth for anything. Laxus might have co
Rise Of The Rightful Heir Final Acceptance
Laxus stared deeply at Bowman, but the older man was not moved.“This is still about my family, right?” Laxus asked when he felt that Bowman was taking too much time in answering his question. As Laxus asked the question, he was already boiling hot in his system.He wondered when Bowman would ever realize that Laxus would never accept to be used as a tool against his own family. They might be apart now, and they might be against him, but Laxus did not hate his father and brother, and if anything at all, he had no intentions of paying back their evil. The only thing that Laxus wanted deeply was to have enough to be able to protect himself when they would strike again. He wanted to be able stand his ground and not let them treat him like a common criminal or their sworn enemy simply because he turned and never looked back.“The truth or what you want to hear; which do you want?” Bowman eventually asked.“The truth,” Laxus answered, but deep down, his heart was beating.He knew that he a

Honeymoon Suggestion
Laxus thought that his heart would explode with emotions with the way he was feeling deep inside, so much so that he simply sat on their bed when they arrived home later that evening.After the lawyer had read the will, he had handed the official keys to the mansion to Laxus and congratulated him on the inheritance. The small box would also have been given to Laxus, but they all knew that it was missing. All attempts to get necessary information about his upbringing and why his grandmother was particular about not wanting Darwin anywhere near the mansion had been impossible.The lawyer had left after his mission was accomplished, and Laxus had had to sit through a dinner party that he wasn’t really in the mood for. However, Nessy was such a good guest that Laxus’s mood did not ruin the purpose for the dinner.“I should have known that including a celebratory dinner alongside with the will reading would not work well, but I guess I didn’t put things into consideration much,” Bowman had
Firm Instructions
Laxus could not help the tears that flowed from his eyes. The entire study was quiet as everyone allowed Laxus to sob without interruption, which Laxus was very grateful for. In that moment, he was not ashamed to display vulnerability, and he wouldn’t even have been able to control it even if he had wanted to. His emotions were doing being a rollercoaster at the moment and a lot of things were running through his mind. Never in his wildest dreams would Laxus have thought that his grandmother would bequeath to him the biggest and oldest mansions in the entire city…and to think that he had neglected to look after it after her passing.The only thing that Laxus had been concerned about when she died was the grief and heaviness in his heart. He had never imagined that his granny was capable of dying, because even if she was clearly old, she was filled with love and life, so Laxus was extremely devastated when she had passed.The last thing that had been on his mind had been inheritance.
His Inheritance
On their way to Bowman’s mansion, as they sat at the back of the car, Laxus felt as though his tongue had been tied.He was still very embarrassed with his reaction about Nessy’s whereabouts. He had acted like a teenager who was scared that his mother had abandoned him, and worse, his voice had been frantic and loud enough that Nessy had heard him. Even though Nessy hadn’t said anything about it or reacted to it, Laxus had felt completely flushed. Fortunately for him, Nessy had simply accepted to go with him to Bowman’s, abandoning the breakfast that she had prepared for the both of them.“I am sorry that we couldn’t have the breakfast that you took time making,” Laxus eventually managed to break the ice. “Bowman sounded urgent, and if we had stayed back to eat, we would have been late. Nevertheless, we would have the next breakfast together,” Laxus promised.Now, he didn’t know if Nessy was cold because he didn’t eat what she had prepared or if she was still on about last night.“It’
A Franctic Husband
Laxus was forced to open his eyes when his phone rang beside the bed table. He reached forth for Nessy, but her side of the bed was empty.“Why did she leave the bed so early?” Laxus asked himself, getting worried and wondering if she had crawled back to her hole.He could still recall what she said last night, and how speechless he had been. A part of him had told him that she had made that confession in her sleepy state, so she couldn’t have realized that he didn’t say a word, right? Even though he had only been married to Nessy for a couple of days, he already knew that she was an emotional woman with a soft heart.Not saying that he loved her too could hurt her deeply and make her recoil, but then again, Laxus hadn’t even decided if he was truly in love with Nessy as well, and he did not want to lie to her.Laxus’s phone began to ring again, taking him out of his reverie. He was somewhat relieved when the caller ID showed Bowman. Since they returned from their trip, Laxus hadn’t s
Not So Much In Charge
Darwin refused to believe the crap the doctor just told him. He became wild and frantic and the doctor had to leave him for a second to get Luther.Darwin struggled hard to get on his feet, clenching his teeth bravely to prevent him from crying out in pain and attracting the attention of anyone at all. He would rather die than let anyone see him defeated.Darwin tried and tried, but the pain was too much to bear, and his legs just wouldn’t move an inch because his waist was completely numb.“Fuck!” Darwin exclaimed in frustration.It was not until he almost fell off the bed that he decided to stop struggling. It would be worse for anyone to find him on the floor, so Darwin decided that he would simply wait for Luther to show up and have him take him out of here. Darwin would not be defeated!His heart was racing and beating really fast, because a part of him kept reminding him about what the doctor said, but because Darwin could never imagine being in that position, he refused to take
A Hardened Patient
Darwin tried to sit up, but the sharp pain that shot through him from every part of his body sent him back to the bed and he groaned out loud in pain, causing his assigned nurse to rush into his ward.He was feeling numb on his waist and he was frustrated as fuck.“Mr. Darwin, I suggest you stay put,” the young nurse said frantically as she tried to check Darwin if he was alright.As soon as her hand touched Darwin, he hit her hand away from his body violently, making her yelp in pain.“I was only trying to help you,” she said solemnly.“I don’t need your freaking help!” Darwin yelled at her rudely. “Where is my doctor?” Darwin asked angrily.He hated being confined to a hospital bed. For years, he had managed to stay far away from hospitals and doctors, and now that he was here, he wanted to leave badly. He could not understand why he was feeling this much pain, and why he wasn’t feeling his waist. It had been just a push from Bowman’s man, so it couldn’t have been that bad. Besides,
The Kinkaid Wife
Linnie sat dutifully in Luther’s ward, close to his bed in the hospital like a loving and caring wife that she was. They had been in the hospital all night, but she felt relieved now, because her knee had been treated and the pain had greatly subsided. Linnie could rarely believe how everything had worked in her favor. She had ensured that the bloggers had gotten the story, and now that it was dawn, she believed that the news would be flying all over the internet in no time.Luther opened his eyes, finally awake.The doctor had given him some sedatives to make him sleep better after he was examined, and also some drugs to help the alcohol get out of his system faster. He looked like a mess, and once again, Linnie realized that he was not half as handsome as Laxus.“You,” Luther said grudgingly when he turned and saw Linnie. “I don’t want you here, you evil woman,” Luther declared.Of course, Linnie knew that he would try to be a nuisance once he woke up, but she was very well prepare
A Perfect Way Too Reconcile
Laxus wondered if he had not made the mistake of not letting Nessy sleep in the guestroom like she wanted, because she had become cold and unhappier. He felt terrible, because this wasn’t what he envisioned for the both of them, especially with how they had been during their trip before the Zayomi man spoilt things for them.As Laxus cast a glance over Nessy who was sleeping beside him on their bed, he worried about what they were becoming. His heart ached badly.“Why do I feel this way about being neglected?” Laxus asked himself worriedly.He could as well be very contented with the fact that Nessy was willing to play the perfect couple out there in public, and as long as they were cordial inside the home, he shouldn’t have minded, but Laxus couldn’t. He wanted things between himself and Nessy to be better than it had been. He wanted to be happy again, and he wanted to make Nessy happy.“You are in love with her.”A bold voice that sounded like Bowman’s said in Laxus’s head, but this
The Perfect Alibi
Linnie stood above Luther and stared at him for some minutes. He was still breathing, so she was certain that he had merely passed out; it must have been the effect of the alcohol in his system.“Bastard,” Linnie cussed him, resisting the urge to actually spit on his face.As she looked at him, she realized that she hated Luther Kinkaid with passion. If she wasn’t mindful of what laid at stake, she might have succumbed to the temptation of choking him and watching him die. This was literally the first time that Linnie was having this strong urge to kill, and she could not tell if it was as a result of the hatred she had for Luther or what she had experienced at Darwin’s office a few hours ago.“Who is helpless now?” Linnie asked the unconscious Luther hatefully.Luther stayed on the ground without moving, and the only thing that signified that he was still alive was the rising and falling of his beating chest. He was just like his father, Darwin, who was probably still lying just like
