Rise Of The Rightful Heir Strange Attitude
Linnie noticed that Luther had been holed up in bed for days now since the last time he returned home from work at night.“He skipped his breakfast again,” their chef reported to Linnie.“Again?” Linnie asked, worried.This should be the fifth time in a row that Luther was skipping food, and she wondered if her husband had not died in his room, because how could anyone survive without food for that long? Aside from that, Linnie had been living under the same roof with Luther, even though it was not in the same bedroom, and one thing that she knew about Luther was that he never joked with his breakfast. She even rarely had breakfast, but virtually even morning when she would come downstairs, she would meet Luther having breakfast, but now he had been rejecting his food.“What did you make for breakfast?” Linnie asked.She had never really cared to ask, because they had a sufficient maid who knew what she was doing, as well as competent domestic staff members, and Linnie had never lifted
Rise Of The Rightful Heir A Perfect Opportunity
“I said get out, or I will kill you! Get the fuck out of here!” Luther was screaming and growling at the top of his lungs at Linnie.His eyes screamed of rage and violence. His veins stood strong. He balled his fingers into angry fists, as though he would punch Linnie with them. For the first time, Linnie thought that she was in the room with a beast who would kill her, because even though there was a slight distance between them, she could feel Luther’s hot and angry breath against her skin. Linnie knew that if Luther became crazy enough to kill her, he would go scot free, because of his family’s influence and power, and worse, because she was just a woman without a family or name. In fact, they could paint a lie about a home accident that led to Linnie’s demise, and she would be forgotten as though she never existed, and that would even hurt her more, because that would mean that she left the shores of this earth without fulfilling half of what she desired.“Go!” Luther was still sh
Rise Of The Rightful Heir Powerful Men
Linnie came downstairs the next morning and she was surprised to see Luther seated at the dining and having breakfast as usual.After she had had sex with Luther the day before, he had fallen right to sleep, and had stayed holed up in his room, but this morning, she was surprised to see him down and eating. He was even dressed for work.“Good morning, Luther,” Linnie greeted as she sat on one of the chairs at the dining table.Luther paid her no mind as he continued with his breakfast.“I just said good morning,” Linnie said.“I am having breakfast, Linnie, as you can see. Do you expect me to choke on my food just to respond to you?” Luther asked sharply.Linnie was shocked at his tone. First of all, Luther talked whenever he wanted, so she did not understand his flimsy excuse of wanting to observe table manners, and then she had just helped him get out of a mood that was driving him insane, and this was the attitude that she got? Linnie looked at Luther, and for the first time, she w
Rise Of The Rightful Heir The Shoulder Of Responsibility
Luther arrived at the company and the first thing that flashed through his mind was blood, but he quickly shook it off and proceeded into the building. He was never going back to where he just got out from.Luther admitted to himself that what happened between him and Linnie shifted something in him, which was why he could he get up this morning, eat, and come to work. He would have wallowed in his own grief until he possibly died of it, because the nightmares after the incident almost made Luther lose his mind. While he stayed holed up in his bedroom, he had heard sound of the gunshot that Darwin fired that took the doctor’s life, and his battered face and pleading eyes kept calling at Luther. When he closed his eyes, he would see his face, and when he opened his eyes, he would still see his face. It had been the worst time of Luther’s life. He had also been dreadfully scared that he might never come out of this. His father had called him several times, but Luther could not just bri
Rise Of The Rightful Heir Accept Or Decline
Laxus had spent the last couple of days working tirelessly. He had also had to travel to different cities and countries to meet with business associates and also held meetings with businessmen and women, so much so that Laxus had not had time to think of or do anything else.Laxus had also invested most of the ideas that Thaddeus brought to him. He took the advice that Bowman gave to him and decided to invest in it, because regardless of his feelings, he was talking about business, and business had no connection with sentiments. Beside, Darwin already blatantly declared his disinterest years before now, and truthfully, Thaddeus had worked on the proposal, and it was no longer exactly the way he had presented it to Darwin. It had been a hectic couple of days, but Laxus expected it, because he knew that responsibilities like these usually came with a lot of task.“Mr. Laxus,” Bridget said as she popped her head into Laxus’s office.Bridget had been more than efficient so far, and Laxus
Rise Of The Rightful Heir Battle Of Shots
Bowman waited for Dragon in his private lounge. Even though he hated to be disturbed, this was a crucial meeting, and also, Dragon preferred to meet here than at his mansion.Since he got the news from Dragon about the death of the doctor, he had immediately ordered Dragon to get Barrister Dickson out of the clinic that they had transferred him to. Bowman wasn’t a child, and he wasn’t stupid either; he knew without a doubt that Darwin had a hand in it. Darwin was the one who put the Barrister in his condition in the first place, so he wouldn’t be shocked that Darwin would go the extra mile just to finish what he had begun. It was obvious that Darwin wanted to shut the Barrister’s mouth or get what belonged to Laxus from him, and as long as Bowman lived, he would never allow that to happen.These were some of the things that were happening around Laxus that he was blind to. Even the tarot reader had tried to bring those revelations to Laxus through her words, but Laxus had run away fro
Rise Of The Rightful Heir Dropped
Luther watched his father pace about in his office, agitated and worried.“I think you should calm down, dad. Their call will come in soon,” Luther tried to encourage his father, but Darwin was not having it.“They are wasting so much time, and I need to know if the operation was successful or not,” Darwin said.He placed finger in between his teeth and they shook furiously. He had never been this agitated and nervous before in his entire existence. Darwin was worried to the core, because if anything should go wrong, he would he be doomed. They would all be doomed.“You don’t understand the gravity of the situation at hand; you never do, Luther,” Darwin said.They had been in the office an hour after the usual closing time and everyone had left. In fact, Darwin had sent a general order for everyone to close earlier than usual and go home simply because of this. The only person that remained in the entire company building with him was his son, Luther. This was more important than anyth
Rise Of The Rightful Heir Feeling Of Neglect
Luther thought that he was going to explode in a rage. “Where is the scotch?” Darwin asked, still reminiscing over the phone call he just made. “We have a toast to make before we head out to see that sick bastard, Barrister Dickson, and if he has recovered well enough, he will give us everything that he was meant to give to Laxus,” Darwin added gleefully.A moment ago, he had been so worried and agitated and afraid that he had almost lost his mind in the process. If they had been caught, Darwin would have landed in jail, except they do not sell him out, and that was something that Darwin could not bank on. He liked having clean and spotless dealings that left no traces. Every time he had done something dirty just to secure a future for himself, he had come out unscathed, and he wasn’t about to stop now. Heck, Darwin was not about to go to jail when he should be retiring and joining a golf club and spending the rest of his days puffing his expensive cigars away and getting occasional

Morning Awkwardness
Laxus was the first to wake up and he discovered that he and Nessy were wrapped up in each other’s arms, and the scent of her hair wafted into his nostrils.The night before had been bliss, and they had both been caught up in the euphoria of it.They had had sex, drunk wine, eaten, and continued until late in the night when they had both fallen asleep in each other’s arms. It was dawn now, and Laxus did not feel like untangling himself. When he had suggested they got married, Laxus hadn’t envisioned sex as part of the bargain, and maybe that was why neither of them spoke about it. Granted, Laxus had been somewhat attracted to Nessy, especially recently, and that would most likely explain the awkwardness between the two of them, but never had he thought that they would jump into bed with each other as soon as they were alone in the same space.To be honest, Laxus had spent the other night at Bowman’s because he did not know exactly what to do with a wife or what to say to Nessy. This w
Compulsory Honeymoon
Laxus and Linnie arrived at the hotel that the Zayomi company had booked for them already. Since they touched down at the airport, they had been receiving nothing short of premium treatment.A convoy was sent to pick them up with flowers and they were driven straight to the hotel; one of the biggest and most grand hotels in the country, and this was the first time that someone like Nessy was being exposed to this kind of luxury.Nessy could not even hide her awe.As Nessy looked around in awe, Laxus took that time to steal glances at her, and he found himself staring in admiration. One thing that Laxus had first come to realize about Nessy was the fact that she was effortlessly beautiful.Unlike Linnie when they started dating who needed to apply literally every beauty product on her just to look gorgeous even though Laxus tried to tell her severally that she was beautiful just the way she was, and that she did not need to do too much, but all of that had fallen on deaf ears. Being a
The Family's Slave
Linnie thought that she might have heard wrongly, but of course, Darwin would never make jokes about something as crucial as this.And Luther had a smug look on his face.“But I thought I was doing well,” Linnie said desperately.She had fought so hard to get a position in the company, and now, she was just going to be asked to stop even when she hadn’t worked for up to one month? Linnie felt humiliated.“Your services are no longer required in the company,” Darwin said tightly, his voice harsh, but then again, she was used to it by now.Right from the first day she got acquainted to Darwin when she was still with Laxus, Darwin had never played nice with her.“I don’t understand,” Linnie said, trying to keep the tears from coming to her eyes, because she knew that if they came, she would definitely shed them, and Linnie would hate to give Darwin or even Luther the impression that they were hurting her this deeply.“What don’t you understand, Linnie?” Luther asked impatiently. “Dad alr
Get Pregnant
Darwin barged into Luther and Linnie’s home as early as possible like a wild animal.“What the fuck! Is he doing this for popularity or publicity?” Darwin asked, fuming dangerously.Linnie returned back in time with no one suspecting her, and the buzz of Laxus’s marriage announcement and Abby Golden’s passing out not only made it easy for Linnie to slip out of the company unnoticed just as she had come, but also kept her out of the headlines. She had successfully been able to attend the function without being noticed by anyone, even though the outcome wasn’t what she had anticipated at all.Linnie was relieved that it wasn’t Abby Golden that Laxus had made that announcement with; maybe she would have been the one who collapsed, but at the same time, she was heartbroken and devastated.“He did it to spite me,” Linnie told herself all through the night.She could not sleep a wink!Of course Laxus had no idea that she was there, but he knew without a doubt that it would make the headlin
After The Announcement
The entire city was abuzz with new of Laxus’s abrupt marriage announcement on the day of the hamburger store launch.Right after the news, and after Abby Golden created a scene by passing out, almost every became chaotic. While the paramedics were trying to pay attention to Abby and get her back to consciousness, the bloggers, pressmen, paparazzi and media personality, people who were actually allowed into the venue so that they could capture the event, gathered around Nessy in the blink of an eye, bombarding her with questions.“Did you marry Mr. Laxus for money?”“Why a secret and suddenly wedding?”“Why wasn’t anyone invited?”“Are you both hiding something?”“Where did you come out from, because no one ever knew about you until now?”“Is this a marriage of love, convenience, or a contract marriage?” Nessy had almost fainted herself with the heat of their surrounding presence, because they hardly gave her any space to breathe, but she ensured that she did not open her mouth to res
The Big Announcement
The entire city was going ablaze again by the news of Laxus’s hamburger store launching.Every blogger and news press were talking about it. TV show hosts have nothing else to talk about other than it. All the bloggers and paparazzi were all gathered at the company already.It was a big day in Las Vegas, just like the day Laxus’s company was launched.“He is making waves, again,” Linnie said as she kept on reading posts about it from different blogging sites.She could not even keep her phone down. It was obvious that Laxus would soon become one of the biggest names in the city. Ever since the launching of his company, he had been soaring higher; way higher than the Kinkaid Distillery Company, even though Darwin would rather die than admit it. Now more than ever before, even though Linnie had been telling herself otherwise sometimes, she wished she hadn’t betrayed Laxus. Now, she wished that she stayed with him even when Darwin came with the offer to remain in the family by marrying
Marry Me
Laxus did not waste time after his lengthy discussion with Bowman whom he now greatly regarded, and as Bowman even gave his consent, Laxus didn’t hold back.He left his office and went to meet Nessy at the hamburger store. The hamburger store launching was the next day, after which they would travel for the Zayomi contract, and Laxus wanted to fix everything. Another thing that boosted his confidence was the fact that Bowman assured him that Darwin had been taken care of, and he would not be going on with the lawsuit anymore.“How did you do it?” Laxus had asked, believing Bowman completely.“That is not something you should worry yourself about. All you need to do is get everything set from your own end; you are not going to be facing any hindrances or adversity,” Bowman had assured him.Bowman never told Laxus how he went about these things, and it made Laxus worried and surprised, especially being that it involved someone as powerful and controlling as Darwin, but at the same time
A Firm Decision
The first thing Laxus did in the morning after his routine of going about and checking around was to call Bridget into his office.“Sir, you have a meeting by…” Bridget started, but Laxus stopped her immediately.“I didn’t call you so that you could read my schedule to me, Bridget, and for today, you can simply send it to my mail and set a reminder so that I will get it from here,” Laxus said.He could not even bring himself to be as friendly as he was with Bridget; maybe he would be after he was done addressing the issue, but he wanted to get it done and over with.Bridget seemed surprised, because Laxus had never been this way towards her. She also noticed that he was somewhat cold towards her when he arrived at work this morning. His cordiality just seemed too formal and stiff.“Have I done something wrong, sir?” Bridget asked, her heart skipping a bit.“Have you booked the flight for this week that I asked you to?” Laxus asked, even though it wasn’t exactly what he wanted to talk
Abrupt Change Of Mind
Linnie could hardly make out what happened the night before. Even when she had managed to get home and tried to tall to Luther, which was obviously pointless because he was angry as hell over what Linnie knew nothing about, it yielded to nothing.“Something is wrong,” Linnie kept telling herself all night.First of all, why did Darwin ask his convoy to leave without him? He obviously wanted to deceive people into thinking that he had left, but all for what? Linnie’s suspicions have been confirmed; he was definitely hiding something in his office.Then she remembered the box that was snatched from Laxus. The one the detective told her that Luther handed over to his father.“He is hiding that box in his office,” Linnie pondered to herself, alone in her bedroom all night.She did not sleep a wink at all, because after realizing that Darwin had to be hiding the box in his office, and also telling herself that she would do anything to find out about it, Linnie then began to think about the
