Rise Of The Rightful Heir The Magic word
Laxus stayed longer in his grandmother’s gigantic mansion longer than he expected. When he touched that safe, he had to spend more than an hour trying to decipher the code to the safe lock.He tried multiple times, but none of them was opening the safe.“There has to be a code to the lock,” Laxus said to himself. He knew that he could not just walk away from now having found that his grandmother had a safe. He used to come into the room whenever he stayed with her, but then again, his stay was brief, and he only either came to ask for something or play with his grandmother. Also, the reason why Laxus even stumbled upon the safe lock was as a result of the consistent cleaning, which had made them take out the upper layer of her room’s design.It was probably old and worn out, but Laxus remembered vividly that when it came to cleaning, his grandmother was really particular about cleaning her room by herself. Then, of course, Laxus hadn’t thought anything of it; he was still much younge
Rise Of The Rightful Heir Box In a Box
Laxus smiled, almost as though he was in disbelief!Never in his wildest dream could he have thought of such a word. He would have spent the entire day, or even weeks in front of the safe box, and he would never have known it.“Well, it is a good thing I can still recall some of our conversations,” Laxus said to himself.As he opened the safe box, it made a rusty sound; an indication that ever since his grandmother passed, no one had touched it. Laxus was impressed at Barrister Dickson. The man literally took proper care of the mansion without violating anything. Not that Laxus had gone round to check around for valuable things, but this was enough confirmation that not only was the lawyer loyal, he also worked with a team of loyal people, because Laxus also knew that some house cleaners and even security guards were prone to stealing.Thinking of Barrister Dickson, Laxus thought that the man needed to really be appreciated. He was beyond impressed at how well the man had maintained t
Rise Of The Rightful Heir Fruitless Search
Laxus was so frightened and shaken that he could not even leave his grandmother’s premises. He sat down and waited.After a few more minutes, Bowman’s convy drove into the compound; Laxus had called him the instant he regained consciousness, unable to get over what had just happened to him.Bowman got out of the car with agility and vigor and he hurried towards Laxus urgently. His bodyguards, along with Dragon also came out from the other cars and followed Bowman, but they maintained a reasonable distance. As Bowman got close, Laxus was somewhat surprised at the level of fear and dread in his eyes; it was only someone who cared deeply about him that would have that look in his eyes.“What the hell happened?” Bowman asked the moment he got to Laxus. The only thing that Laxus had managed to do was come downstairs and wait outside. Even as Bowman asked the question, he was still too shaky to give an answer. Then Bowman turned to Laxus’s bodyguards and drivers who stood beside Laxus and
Rise Of The Rightful Heir Still Not Worthy
Darwin waited anxiously for Luther in his office, and after a few more minutes, the door swung open.“Oh, thank goodness you are already…” Darwin began, but he stopped when he noticed that it was Detective George. “I didn’t send for you,” Darwin said, scrunching his face in displeasure.With the way he was feeling right now, he wasn’t really in the mood to entertain anyone in particular. He had expected that it would be Luther that would stroll in through the door, because he sent Luther on an important mission, and he was nervous as hell.This was the first time that Darwin was sending Luther to handle a situation on his own, because Darwin knew that if he continued to babysit Luther, he would never be strong-hearted and brave enough to take on the company when the time was right. More than anything else in the world, Darwin wanted Luther to become the CEO of Kinkaid Distillery Company, but then again, if he left it to an untrained Luther, it would not survive a month.Killing the do
Rise Of The Rightful Heir Not The Plan!
Darwin had been able to send Linnie away regardless of how he did it. He had never cared how he treated Linnie, and in fact, the harsher, the better for someone like her.The issue now was what the detective was doing in his office when he was desperately waiting for Luther to return from his assignment.“I asked what you are doing here,” Darwin said rather harshly, but the truth was that he was not in the mood to play nice with anyone, because what he was bothered about was way greater and more serious than anyone’s feelings.If anything went wrong, they were all doomed.With how Luther was even delaying, Darwin was beginning to think that he had made a mistake asking Luther to handle the information that Linnie brought to him. Luther was supposed to be here about thirty minutes ago, and it disturbed Darwin greatly.“I should have handled it myself,” Darwin had been telling himself this since he began worrying about Luther’s delayed return. “Luther is too chicken-hearted and inexperi
Rise Of The Rightful Heir Time For A Few Truths
Bowman had been able to take Laxus away from the gigantic mansion back to his own mansion. Laxus still seemed shaky, but then again, he was less afraid now that Bowman and a host of other people were close to him.“Dragon will mobilize some bodyguards to join the security guard to keep watch over this mansion until we get to the bottom of this,” Bowman had said before they left. “None of this must get to the media, otherwise you all will be punished and fired,” Bowman had threatened.According to the whole story, the only persons who knew about this now was Laxus, his drivers and bodyguards, the security guard, and Bowman’s drivers and bodyguards, so that meant that he would know exactly who leaked the news if the story got out there…except, of course, whoever was responsible for this decided to sell the news to blogs.First of all, no one knew that Laxus was connected to the almighty gigantic mansion that the entire city knew about, and the more it stayed that way for now, the better
Rise Of The Rightful Heir Adamantly Ignorant
Laxus was surprised at what Bowman just told him. He had no clue about it, and it made him shocked. “So someone tried to kill him?” Laxus asked.“Twice now,” Bowman answered carefully. He knew how important, crucial, and fragile this moment was for Laxus, and he did not want to say things in a way that would leave Laxus triggered, even though Laxus had been staying in the dark for way too long.“Why didn’t I hear of this?” Laxus asked, more stunned, then he shook his head at himself; of course he would not be aware of it because after the death of his grandmother, he stopped keeping in touch, and Barrister Dickson on the other hand, never reached out.“A lot of things have been happening,” Bowman said.He exchanged looks with Dragon and they both shared a message between themselves without Laxus getting a hang of it; that was how close and coded Bowman and Dragon operated. In a crowd, they could identify with themselves easily and communicate without actually talking. Sitting in fron
Rise Of The Rightful Heir Two Pairs Of Good News
Linnie could not stop fuming at how Darwin discarded her like a piece of used tissue. It wasn’t new, but it didn’t mean that it would not hurt Linnie severely, especially when she was doing everything she could to get Darwin to see her, but each time she thought that she had done it, Darwin would treat her worse than the previous time and let her know that she was still unworthy.“What does the old bastard want?” Linnie asked herself as she paced about in her bedroom.She was so enraged and embittered that she did not even know what to do. “I should not have gone to him,” Linnie told herself. “I should have handled things myself. This would have been my opportunity to get close to Laxus again, but then I messed it up by going to Darwin instead…the spiteful old hag!” Linnie cursed.She genuinely wished that she could say those exact words to Darwin’s face. Deep down, Linnie could not wait to spit in Darwin’s face and say all the words that were embedded in her heart against it. She kn

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
An Angry Husband
Luther felt like a piece of trash at dawn, and as he returned to his bedroom, he had tears in his eyes.He had never hated sleeping with anyone the way he hated doing so with Linnie.He got washed up and went downstairs for breakfast sooner than usual, because he wanted to get away from the house. Luther already made up his mind that he would go to where he usually went before he was forced into showing up at the Kinkaid Distillery Company every single day.Luther needed to get a distraction otherwise he would lose his mind.This was the third time he was sleeping with Linnie since they got married, and each time was worse than the last. He wanted nothing to do with her, and now that his father had forced his hand into getting her pregnant to save the family name, Luther had to try, and he hoped that it would happen soonest so that he would not have to do it for long.More so, Abby’s rejection had fueled him into accepting.If only Abby had accepted him, Luther was more than willing a
Snake Under The Grass
“Good, good,” Bowman said hastily. “It is a good thing that you know me already, so we will just get straight to the point,” Bowman added, intentionally doing so to prevent Barrister Dickson from spilling what Bowman didn’t want anyone to know just yet, including Dragon.“Thank you for sticking it out for me after the attack; I was told,” Barrister Dickson said weakly. “I am sure you did all that for Laxus,” he added.Bowman swallowed. The tone of the lawyer indicated that he might fall into sleep again. Being that they were fortunate to have the man’s brains back, Bowman did not want to take chances. He could sleep and wake up clueless again, but the good thing was that he was far away from Darwin’s knowledge and reach. At least, before Darwin would know of it, Bowman would have gotten what he wanted from the lawyer.“Why does Darwin want you dead?” Bowman asked, going straight to the point.There was still no proof or evidence that it was Darwin who was behind the attack, but still,
