It was still late at night, and Laxus was having a hard time sleeping. Heck, he could not even recall the last time he slept peacefully, because it seemed now that there were problems looming around, and so his mind was constantly warning him not to fall asleep, or he might fall into trouble.

Right now, Laxus was confused and he felt lost. Confused because he did not know if he should call Nessy; because since that night, they hadn’t spoken to each other. Nessy hadn’t even called him to ask him why he didn’t show up the other night, and everything just kept troubling Laxus. Then he was lost because now he did not have a job, and he could not take the offer too. He couldn’t go back to Mr. Henry and the restaurant, and he could not go back to Bowman; that wasn’t even an option for Laxus.

He also needed to leave this apartment that was causing him more chaos than peace, but then again, he would need money for that, and he had none.

Laxus was still lamenting about how pathetic his life ha

    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.

  • 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

    “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

    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

  • Not As Planned

    Linnie felt as though her body was on fire, and every other thing that was going on before Bridget’s call, including her seduction tactic on Luther died instantly.She became enraged.It was bad enough that Olivia went to Luther to beg for money, almost ruining things for her, but when the desperate woman saw that things didn’t work out for her, she decided to trace her way to Laxus. “How did she even find Laxus or know about him?” Linnie asked herself, deeply disturbed. She should have handled Olivia way before now. The last thing Linnie wanted was for Olivia or her uncle to have a taste of the good life she was having after all they did to her. Seeing her uncle critically sick and being in a horrible financial state made Linnie satisfied and happy. She had felt that what they were going through was their karma, and Linnie would have been overjoyed if she had gotten a call that her uncle had eventually died, or that something terrible had happened to Olivia. Bridget already told he

  • Ruined Moment

    Linnie was seeing a show when the door banged open and Luther walked into the living room. Linnie was jolted in shock, because she hadn’t expected him to open the door in that manner, and more so, she had been consumed with her own thoughts; the TV was just a way to make anyone think that she was truly watching what was going on there.Luther gave her an ultimatum, and Linnie knew that he was dead serious. A man who did not love her would not hesitate to get rid of her the first chance that she got, and now, Linnie was left with two possible choices; find a way to get pregnant for Luther at all cost before she ultimatum runs out, or catch him having an affair and cheating on her. That way, he would have no choice but to hand over all he had, including his shares in the Kinkaid Distillery Company to her.Either way, Linnie gets to remain in the Kinkaid’s lives.“Shouldn’t you be in bed by now?” Luther asked.Linnie had almost thought that he was speaking to someone else, because if it

  • A Woman Worth The Trust

    Laxus stared at the sign for some minutes, as though he could not believe what he was seeing. Permanently closed? How was that even possible? What happened?After Laxus stopped working at the restaurant, he simply stopping thinking about it. Why wouldn’t he anyway? He now had a multi-billion dollars company to handle and worry about. After Laxus was tired of staring at the sign, and it became crystal clear to him that the sign meant that it was the officers of the law that banned it, he turned and went into his car, wondering what could have happened.Laxus’s major dilemma was how to get in touch with Nessy.He had no clue where Mr. Henry lived, and he never communicated with the other people who worked at the restaurant at that time to even know where any of them lived, so where would he find Nessy? Laxus became really bothered and concerned. Originally, he should have just shrugged it off and scouted for someone else, but deep down, Laxus knew that Nessy was the right candidate for

  • Roped In With False Identity

    Laxus had an amazing time making hamburgers. To his own surprise, he made over twenty five hamburgers, and even when he was done, he was not slightly exhausted.His chef joined him at a point in checking the oven to ensure that they weren’t getting overly baked, and they also shared short conversations, making the whole process worthwhile for Laxus. Before now, he might not have fancied the idea of acquainting himself with any of the domestic servants, but being that he had once being a server under someone, Laxus now looked at everyone the same way. Also, the chef’s presence made Laxus feel like his grandmother was right there in the kitchen with him.After that, Laxus asked the chef to distribute the hamburgers to his domestic workers, and when she was done, she attested that there were still some hamburgers left, and the next thing that came to Laxus’s mind was to send some to Bowman.“Please, have them well wrapped up for me,” Laxus told the chef.She did, and Laxus gave his driv

  • Not Fast Enough

    Darwin and Luther waited for Detective George in Darwin’s office. They had been able to find out the person who sent an anonymous tip to the cops stating that he had viable evidence against Laxus and knew exactly what happened to Gary, and as usual, Darwin had swung into action.Darwin wanted that information first, because now, he did not want to only have Laxus arrested, and that was what the cops would do if they eventually got hold of that testimony and evidence before him. initially, that was what Darwin had wanted, so that Laxus would be ruined, but with the kind of backing that Laxus now had, Darwin knew that Laxus would not spend more than two hours in jail even after getting arrested.What Darwin wanted was to get hold of the information, use it to blackmail and threaten Laxus personally, without the presence of his new god, into surrendering all that he had been given and disappear from limelight forever.“How much longer are we going to wait for Detective George to bring th

  • Revived Passion

    Laxus stayed in his bedroom all night and even until the morning, and even after freshening up, he still remained in his bedroom.He couldn’t even go to the company knowing what the blogs were saying and the lawsuit against him. Over the night, Laxus contemplated going to Darwin and confronting him, but he ended up changing his mind before morning. First of all, he had no desire to set his eyes on Darwin, Luther, or even Linnie, and so far, he had been lucky, so he would not set a trap for himself by going to them. Besides, Bowman already assured Laxus that he would take care of it, and Laxus had come to trust Bowman wholeheartedly and completely.However, as Laxus stayed in his bedroom, he was bored already, even though it was still morning.“What would I do with myself now?” Laxus asked himself.He felt like an invalid just staying indoors and doing nothing on a workday. Laxus wasn’t naturally a lazy man, he preferred to always work, which was why even when he pulled out of the Kin

  • Two Captains In A Boat

    Bowman sat at the backseat in one of his cars with Dragon as his convoy drove over to Darwin’s house. “You said you never wanted to see him face to face again, except it is to kill him,” Dragon said, reminding Bowman of what he said years ago.The drive so far had been quiet, and now, they were even closer to Darwin’s house. Bowman had appreciated the silence, because it gave him time to think deeply, and he had thought that Dragon, who understood him more than anyone else, was giving him the space to do just that, but Bowman was wrong, and he almost groaned out loud when he heard Dragon speak.It was night, which was the perfect time to have whatever meeting he wanted to have with Darwin.“And I haven’t changed that,” Bowman simply said, knowing that if he did not respond to Dragon, he might keep pushing.Sometimes, Dragon could be a real pain in the butt that Bowman could not get rid of.“So we are going in there to kill him?” Dragon asked, a tinge of excitement in his voice.Bowma

  • Firm Declaration

    Linnie had stayed locked up in her room since the doctor broke the news to not just her, but Darwin and Luther.She could still recall the look of excitement and relief on Luther’s face and the look of anger and disappointment on Darwin’s face. Linnie had never felt so humiliated and embarrassed in her entire existence before. In her defense, she had demanded for another test.Maybe Luther might have tried to swing the result, especially being the fact that he did not want Linnie to get pregnant, this was the family hospital and as such, the family doctor might lightly do whatever Luther asked him to do, and the test appointment was pre-booked before today, so Linnie had vehemently demanded for another impromptu test to be carried out on her right there and then; she knew exactly the way she was feeling.Darwin had angrily accepted, and Linnie had selected another random doctor in the hospital and of course, a different laboratory, and they all stayed right there and then so that she

  • It is Time

    “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
