Rise Of The Rightful Heir The Unknown Son
Laxus stayed in cell, boiling with anger and rage. He could not believe that a man like him was in cell. This was the first time that Laxus was ever being in the cell, and the worst part was that it was based on a false accusation.He never assaulted or stole from Linnie.“Can I see anyone?” Laxus asked the cop who came to speak with an inmate in the other cell. “You cannot just keep me holed up here without my lawyer!” Laxus began to raise his voice in frustration when he was ignored.He belonged to a powerful and influential family in the country, and it was just wrong that he was being treated like a common criminal. Even thought Laxus had left home and never looked back, he still should not be treated this way, especially when it was even on wrong accusations. The cop left without saying a word and Laxus felt as though he could lift up the bars in the cell and set himself free from it. Laxus began to think about his life and predicament. He should have known that showing up in his
Rise Of The Rightful Heir A Setup
Detective George stared at Laxus and remembered the picture of him that Darwin had shown him. The picture hadn’t done Laxus any justice, because Detective George realized that Laxus was more good looking than that picture. Again, he noticed the distinct features that Laxus had that were missing in Luther, like the color of their eyes, and hairs, and even their noses. But still, he could not stop wondering why Darwin would want to “punish” his own son, but whatever the case may be, he would simply do his job and get his raise that was long due.“I have a right to demand a lawyer before granting an interrogation,” Laxus told the detective. Detective George nodded; damn, Laxus was good.The detective had known that Laxus was good even though he had fidgeted at first, making him suspicious, but then again, he was speaking to a Kinkaid, so he did not expect Laxus to be anything less than brilliant even though he was no longer associating himself with the Kinkaid family.“Yes, you do, but
Rise Of The Rightful Heir Twice Bitten
Laxus never imagined in his wildest dream that he would be spending the night in a cell, but as he laid his head on his bed in his cell room, he pondered about his life.Whether or not he was innocent, having a criminal or jail record would hinder him from getting a job. He wasn’t even sure that Mr. Henry would want to still keep him hired after all that had happened.“What am I going to do?” Laxus thought deeply as he asked himself.The words of his father, “You will have to pay for damages, Laxus, and no one will be able to save you,” just kept ringing in Laxus’s head, and he realized dreadfully that Darwin was right. Laxus could not think of anyone that he could possibly call to get him out of here. After his father left, he had been taken back into the cell without further interrogation, and now, it was almost midnight.Tears flowed down Laxus’s cheeks in regret.What Laxus was being regretful for, he could not tell. Maybe he should not have walked out on his family. Maybe he shou

“What did you just say?” Laxus turned and asked Linnie.She had a smirk on her face that Laxus wished he could wipe off. The words that came out of Linnie’s mouth was shocking, and at the same time, could put him away forever, even though he might already be in that situation.“I thought you didn’t want to speak to me,” Linnie said sarcastically. “I still don’t want to speak with you, Linnie,” Laxus said firmly and he meant it. Looking at Linnie now and recalling that beautiful, young, and innocent girl who had gracefully returned his belongings and he had fallen for at first sight, he wondered what happened to her, because all Laxus could see in front of him was an evil woman draped in expensive silk clothes.“Even with this information that is on the tip of my tongue?” Linnie teased.Laxus ground his teeth in annoyance, and he wondered why he could not stay completely away from his family. The reason he decided to go very far away from them was because he did not want to have anyt
Rise Of The Rightful Heir Unfair
For a moment, Laxus just stood there, struggling between the feeling of relief and surprise.“Are you going to get in?” Bowman asked Laxus when Laxus stood without moving.Laxus hadn’t thought that he would not only be getting released, but he would also be getting a free ride back to his apartment. Heck, he hadn’t even thought that he would be getting released by Bowman, the one man he had vowed to stay away from. Laxus had thought deeply about who could have possibly wanted to set him free, and not once did his mind go to Bowman.Well, if Bowman had saved him from jail and those cruel bullies, riding in his car was something Laxus could certainly do. At least, this time around, he wasn’t using his tough-looking bodyguard to intimidate him.Laxus went into Bowman’s car and they drove off.“Thank you,” Laxus eventually said after a while, and he meant it from the depth of his heart, because if it wasn’t for Bowman, he would have rotted in jail and no one would have saved him, not even

Linnie walked downstairs with her heels clicking against the marble tiles in a rhythm. Again, she found Luther having breakfast, but this time around, she decided to ignore him completely; she had somewhere important she needed to be.“Where are you going so early?” Luther asked when Linnie walked past him, headed for the door.Linnie wanted to ignore him as she had done at first, but she decided that it was best she responded to him, especially after ruining her mission last night with his bloody call. “I am going to do what you are supposed to be doing,” Linnie said to him.Luther grew upset instantly. He abandoned his food and got up immediately, and that was when Linnie realized that he was fully dressed for work. She did not even pay attention to what he was wearing, because she was already used to seeing him lazy about almost every morning on a full meal.“And what the fuck is that supposed to mean?” Luther asked.Linnie was surprised at Luther’s fury, but she was not afraid; s

“How the hell did he get released from prison?!” Darwin was raising the roof in his officer.Luther and Linnie sat down in the office as well. Luther watched his father vibrate, and deep down, he was happy and relieved. He wasn’t feeling that way because Laxus got released; he felt that way because Linnie went there right after their argument at home only to be told that Laxus had been released that morning.Darwin paced about, trying to get in touch with Detective George.Meanwhile, Linnie felt nothing short of embarrassment and rage. She knew that Luther was happy that she could not finish what she started, and it really hurt her, because she thought that she had everything under control. When Linnie had arrived at the station and was informed that Laxus had just been released a few minutes ago, she had almost passed out in shock.“What am I going to say to Darwin?” Linnie had asked herself in agitation.This was the golden opportunity she had to get Darwin to start including her i
Rise Of The Rightful Heir What's The Name?
The proud smile that Darwin gave to Luther was unmistakable, making Linnie almost burst in annoyance. She wished in that moment that she was the one who had come up with that brilliant idea and not Luther.“Now that Linnie has gone to spoil things for us,” Luther continued. It just felt good to always drag Linnie’s failure into the discussion, because not only would it rile her up, it would prevent her from getting that soft spot she had been desperately trying to obtain from his father.The words that he and Linnie exchanged that morning at the house was still nagging at him. Luther was not keen about the Kinkaid company; he had other desires, and as long as he continued to enjoy the benefits of being a Kinkaid son, and also, the returns from the company. However, he had not been awarded that luxury, because his father continued to insist that he become a part of the company.“I did not spoil anything for us!” Linnie jumped in, desperate to defend herself, and Luther smiled callously

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
Out Of The Blue
Nessy was shaken after Mrs. Linnie Kinkaid left her apartment. Her threat sent shivers down Nessy’s spine, and she became more afraid for her life now than when she was being threatened to spill the beans about the incident with Gary which Laxus was slightly involved in or even when she was sleeping in the counter without protecting.Things are deeper and more dangerous than you know…The words kept ringing in Nessy’s head. She worked as a slave for Gary for years before she killed him in self-defense, and being a man of wealth and power, she knew just how evil and dangerous their world was. Now, Laxus had become one of the richest and powerful men in the city, which meant that he was truly not the same person that she worked with in Mr. Henry’s restaurant.Nessy had almost totally forgotten that she knew little or nothing about Laxus, and now, he was right in the midst of demons and dragons, and for all she knew, he could be one of them, because if he wasn’t, why had a woman like Mrs
A Warning Visit
When Nessy heard her doorbell ringing, she was perplexed as to who would be visiting her. Since she moved into this apartment, she had not had any guest over for visitation; not like she had friends anyway, so the first person that came to her mind was Laxus.“What could he be doing here?” She asked herself, surprised already surprised…and agitated even though she was yet to open the door.This was the first time Laxus would be visiting her in her apartment, and even though he paid for everything, he hadn’t thought it wise to come before now. Also, it was getting late.Quite frankly, if Nessy was being honest with herself, she would admit that being around Laxus made her feel uneasy.Anyway, the doorbell continued to ring, and Nessy knew that she would have to eventually answer it. When Nessy opened the doorbell without checking from her peephole to even be certain that it was Laxus first, she was shocked to see no other person but Mrs. Linnie Kinkaid standing right in front of her, i
