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
Rise Of The Rightful Heir Missed Shot
Bowman sat at his country club sipping on his glass of vodka. It had been a long week, and he usually came here when he was seeking rest. Many people had no idea that he ran one of the biggest country clubs in Las Vegas, and he preferred to keep it that way. That way, he could come in like a random customer, sit at his private lounge and just enjoy a lone time.“Every man has his secrets,” Bowman often said.Although some are deeper and uglier than others while some are not as bad, but regardless, every man did have something they did not want to share with the world. Soon enough, Bowman’s staff brought his expensive cigar to him. He should quit, he knew this, but it was also one of the things that kept him pumped up when he was feeling a little below the mood.“Dragon is here to see you, sir,” his staff informed him.Bowman hissed; Dragon was too stubborn. Bowman had often told him not to come to the country club when he was trying to have his lone time, but Dragon never obeyed. He wa
Rise Of The Rightful Heir Indescribable Satisfaction
Linnie was awakened by the sound of her ringing tone.“Who the heck is calling at such an early hour?” Linnie grumbled grumpily. There was nothing that infuriated her more than getting her beauty sleep interrupted. It had been a tough one last night, and Linnie only got into the house and into her bed at past 4am. The night hadn’t gone as she had planned it, and Nessy had proven tougher than she had thought and expected. In fact, Linnie had had to let her go when Nessy refused to budge after hours of scrutiny, and Luther was beginning to blow up her phone again, just like the night that she had paid Laxus a visit at the police station. Anyway, she was not anywhere done with Nessy.Linnie picked up the call without checking who her caller was. “Yes, who is this?” Linnie asked harshly.“Linnie dear,” a calm female voice boomed over the receiver and Linnie knew exactly who was calling.Even in her unconsciousness, she would know that voice any day and any time. This was the voice that
Rise Of The Rightful Heir The Game Has Changed
Bowman was boiling with rage and vengeance.“Darwin dare take a shot at me!” Bowman ranted, his anger emanating from every pore in his body. “That damn Darwin dared to attempt to take my life!” Bowman could not get a hold of himself.He was raving mad, and he wanted to get a hold of Darwin and strangle him by himself. “You know how much I detest coming here, yet you have made me come here,” Dragon said as he walked into Bowman’s living room.It had been too long since he last met with Bowman at his mansion, and that was because Dragon preferred to meet in places like the club house, because such places suited his personality. The home setting was for those who lived without a care in the world, and he would not have answered Bowman’s call if he did not think that it was extremely urgent. Bowman rarely called him, especially when they had just parted ways, but Dragon knew that such calls were not ignored or neglected.“I almost got killed today,” Bowman turned to Dragon and blurted ou
Rise Of The Rightful Heir Deeper And Deeper
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
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

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
