Rise Of The Rightful Heir The Big Offer
“Who are you, and why would you ask me to get into your car just like that?” Laxus asked, his voice almost quivering in fear.He looked around, hoping to see passersby like him who could help him, but mysteriously, Laxus was the only one walking the pedestrian lane that morning, or maybe he had been the only one, but he didn’t realize it until now. Laxus had no idea who this person was or who had sent him, and he was already out here in the street long enough to know how dangerous and deadly it could be. When he was still under the wealth and protection of the Kinkaid family name, Laxus always moved with drivers and bodyguards, so he never knew how dangerous and cold the outside world was.“Don’t be stubborn,” the bodyguard warned sternly.He glared at Laxus, and Laxus feared for his life instantly. He was alone on this path, and it was still very early; if he proved stubborn, he could get killed right here and his body dumped without mercy. Laxus was going through so much, but the la
Rise Of The Rightful Heir A New Found Treasure
Luther sat on the dining table enjoying a sumptuous meal at the family mansion where he and Linne had been living in with his father, Darwin, since they got married.Luther already had his day planned out; after his meal, he would visit his game house and spend hours there playing chess with his group of friends, and afterwards, maybe rest by the poolside, and then visit the museum before the end of the day. He pretty much planned to do nothing today other than just having a nice time with himself and a bunch of friends who didn’t mind that he was a Kinkaid.Linne came downstairs shortly, dressed in an expensive floral dress.She saw Luther eating at the dining, his back turned to her, and she raised her nose in disgust. For the life of her, she could not understand why any man would just enjoy waking up every day and practically do nothing. Most days, they had to literally force Luther to go to the office, and Linne did not like that. She liked a man who was always up and doing, and
Rise Of The Rightful Heir One More Try
“…and it is worth billions…”Linne could not get those words out of her head. it was a good thing she stayed back and eavesdropped, because Darwin did not want her to know, just as he did not want her to know about most things that went on in the company, and Luther would never have said a word of it to her.“Bastards,” Linne said, grounding her teeth.Darwin left some minutes ago, and Luther also left almost immediately to only God knows where. He and his father had argued for some more minutes where Darwin was trying to get Luther to come to the office today so that they could join heads together and see what can be done about this new development, but Luther stubbornly objected.“I already have today scheduled for something else,” Luther had told his father.“You know I am doing all this for you. Come to the company and let us talk properly about this; I already asked the lawyer to come around as well. It will just be for a few hours, and you can go about your day from there,” Darw
Rise Of The Rightful Heir Strange Things
Since Laxus was no longer going to work, he spent the entire day thinking about his meeting with Bowman.First of all, the man seemed like he knew much about the Kinkaid family; things that Laxus obviously didn’t know, and now, he was offering a huge amount of money to Laxus to start up something for himself and fight his family. Bowman did not reveal anything else, which bothered Laxus; he only told him to spend some days thinking about his offer.“That offer is too much,” Laxus said to himself. What if he failed? What if Bowman decided that he needed his money back? Laxus would never be able to pay back, and that would make him be at the mercy of Bowman forever. Laxus wasn’t stupid or ignorant. He might not be rich anymore, but he was once in the midst of plenty, and he knew how men like Bowman operated.“Getting away from my family was freedom to me, and there is no way I am going back to being under anyone’s mercy, ever again,” Laxus vowed to himself.In fact, if his family could
Rise Of The Rightful Heir Uncertainty
Abandoning what he had just experienced, Laxus hurried to Nessy. It was getting dark now, and from what Nessy told him, she was still at the store. Laxus knew he shouldn’t be going there, especially considering the fact that Mr. Henry fired him, but he could not get over how scared and frantic Nessy sounded, as though she was in danger.The moment Laxus got to the shop, the sign there was close, which means they had closed for the day. However, Laxus tried to push through the door, but he was stopped by Drake.“What are you doing here?” Drake asked harshly. “You have been fired already, so why are you here?” Drake questioned, facing Laxus menacingly.“What have you done to her?” Laxus asked, breathing hard.He was breathing hard from rushing over to the shop and he was also breathing hard because he was ready to fight Drake if he had hurt Nessy. Laxus did not have any feelings or attachment to Nessy, but he just hated it when people, especially women were being bullied, especially the
Rise Of The Rightful Heir An Old Staff
Laxus was stunned, speechless, and confused as to what to do. He saw Nessy shaking as her eyes went from the man to Laxus, and her quivering lips released whimpers occasionally.“What…what happened here?” Laxus asked Nessy.He could not see the man’s face, but from the grey in his hairs, it was obvious that he was not exactly a young man. Anyway, Nessy found it difficult to open her mouth, and when she did, no words came out.“Nessy, you have to talk to me. What happened and who is he?” Laxus asked again.He could not possibly think of anything that could have gone wrong, and Nessy looked too innocent to kill a man in cold blood, but then again, looks were very deceiving, but all the same, Laxus could not find himself in this kind of situation. If the cops arrived and met him here, he would be in deeper trouble, because there was no way they would not realize that he was a Kinkaid.It dawned on Laxus that there was no way Nessy would say anything if he did not do anything to make her
Rise Of The Rightful Heir Panicky
Laxus staggered backwards, shocked.“What is it?” It was now Nessy’s turn to ask him. “Do you know him?” Nessy asked further when she saw that the color in Laxus’s face had disappeared.Laxus could not tell Nessy that he knew this man well enough. The man in question lying in his own pool of blood was Mr. Gary, an old staff of the company, and also, the same man who worked closely with Laxus’s father. Laxus had no idea that a staff of the company lived around these parts, and he could not tell if the man retired from the company and moved down here, because Laxus had been away from home for long now, but all the same, this was a messier situation than Laxus had thought it would be. If the cops got here and found him here, he would be in a deeper shit. First of all, they would think he possibly murdered the man, because he was kicked out of the Kinkaid Distillery company, and secondly, his family would buy that story and watch him rot in jail.Laxus could not risk it.“We have to go,”
Rise Of The Rightful Heir Unwanted Guest
“Hello, Laxus,” Linnie said with a broad smile on her face.Laxus just stood there, shocked to his bones and as a result of that, he could not utter a word. The last time he set his eyes on Linnie was the day his father had coldly announced to him that she would be getting married to Luther instead, and the hurtful betrayal he had received from her that day.Laxus Kinkaid would never forget that hurt in a lifetime.“Been a while, isn’t it?” Linnie asked, her smile neither wavering nor faltering when Laxus didn’t say anything, or even bother to let her in.Her soft, sweet, and feminine voice floated into his ears, and for a moment, Laxus almost allowed himself to be melted by the sound of her voice. Linnie’s voice was one of the reasons Laxus had fallen in love with her from the very beginning, but now, he was quick to remember that she did not waste any time in dumping him for his brother, Luther.“What do you want here?” Laxus asked, his voice sounding harsh and gruff. He liked it a

“Bowman, someone took a shot at my life last night,” Laxus told Bowman while he waited for the arrival of the agent that Bowman talked about.“You cannot be a businessman without enemies,” Bowman simply said.“But I did not have enemies or faced life threats when I worked at the Kinkaid Distillery Company,” Laxus said, pondering on what had happened.“That should tell you a lot,” Bowman said.“Hold on…does that mean that my family is the one behind this?” Laxus asked.In all honesty, he had never known antagonism and threat until he turned his back on his family. A few weeks ago, Linnie had shown up at his doorstep unannounced and he had been arrested right after that happened. Right now, Laxus could not think of anyone else that might want him harmed except his family, but would they be dangerous enough to want him dead?It was one thing to be set up by one’s own family, but murder? Laxus shuddered at the thought.“Listen, Laxus, I think you should focus more on getting your apartmen
A Lifestyle Of Dread
“Whoever you are, come out and stop hiding in the shadows,” Laxus instructed, trying to put on bravado.He was alone now, and he did not even realize until now that the bright lights illuminating the aisle leading to the hall had been turned off, so the place was slightly dark.“Who is there?” Laxus asked again as he began to look around for something that could pass as a defensive tool.He had barely spent twenty-four hours in the premises and he was already being scared by only God knows who, but the last thing Laxus wanted to do was pose as a fearsome man.“You better come out and make yourself known right now or I will call the cops on you. Don’t think that I don’t have them on speed dial,” Laxus threatened with a lie. “This is my property, and I will not allow a riffraff make a nuisance here,” he added firmly.Then Bowman stepped out of the dark and entered the hall.“Christ, Bowman!” Laxus screamed out, holding his chest and releasing the breath he did not even know that he was
Acquaintance
The party had ended and Laxus bid the last guest off as his exited the hall with his beloved wife.“Oh, damn,” Laxus said as he sat down on one of the seats in exhaustion.Since the party began, he had not had the chance to rest his feet, and now, he felt as though he could close his eyes and magically find himself on his bed. Laxus looked around the big hall and reflected on all that happened in the last three hours, and he could not help but feel a sense of exhilaration and fulfillment. At the same time, Laxus was eager to begin. He could barely wait until Monday which would begin with the rigorous task of conducting interviews and selecting his first staff members, but then again, he had the weekend to get a suitable apartment and settle into his new lifestyle.For Laxus, this was a new beginning for him.“Nice party tonight,” a female voice said, startling Laxus.Laxus turned abruptly, almost in fear, because he had thought that he was left alone and everyone had left, but as he t
A Show For Infuriation
“Damn him!” Darwin barked as he angrily flung the remote and it hit the TV squarely, causing it to crack and go off instantly just the time when Abby was captured talking to Laxus with a sweet and suggestive smile on her face by the bloggers who were reporting live.For more than two hours, Darwin, Luther and Linnie had stood rooted in their spot and watching Laxus take on the world in a launch party. The anger oozing from Darwin emanated in the entire living room and it overpowered whatever emotions Luther and Linnie might have felt watching it.“I think you have destroyed the TV, dad,” Luther said.Darwin whirled around like a wounded monster and charged at Luther. “Are you daft or were you not watching the TV?!” Darwin asked Luther angrily, droplets of saliva flying from his mouth; he was extremely furious.“Well, that is not enough to destroy the TV, is it? It didn’t do anything wrong,” Luther said flippantly, making Darwin more aggravated.Linnie was certain that Darwin would hav
That One Guest
Laxus was not given the luxury of time to dwell in his shock for long, because the cheers of people around him reminded him of where he was and his responsibility.“Bowman has tricked me; the bloody old man,” Laxus cursed under his breath.Even after all he had said and tried as much as possible to stand firmly on what he wanted, Bowman still outsmarted him. He should have known that everything was too good to be true, but Laxus could not turn around in the midst of these people and turn everything down.He just couldn’t. “Congratulations, Laxus, this is such a big feat.”“This is more than anything we have seen in Las Vegas, and we have no doubt that it will thrive under your care.”“Laxus’s Distillery Cave; sounds like a fantastic name to me!”“For a startup company, this is absolutely mind-blowing. Congratulations, Mr. Laxus.”“Cheers to this big start, Laxus, and please know that we are always available to partner with you in any way possible.”A lot of those congratulatory words
Drastic Steps
Bowman arrived at the location that Dragon was waiting for him, and as soon as Dragon noticed Bowman’s presence, he got out of his car and joined Bowman in his. Then Bowman’s driver drove off.“You left the party,” Dragon observed.“I never planned to attend it,” Bowman answered strictly.Dragon was rarely ever surprised, because most times, he always knew that moves people were about to make before they made them, even Bowman, but he did not see this one coming at all. Dragon was not offended that Bowman did not tell him about this plan; Bowman did not tell Dragon everything to begin with. He was just taken aback.“That is strange,” Dragon stated. “Isn’t it your party as well?” Dragon asked.Bowman remained quiet; his mind was on the task they were going to carry out, and in situations like these, Bowman preferred to stay quiet, because it helped him stay focus on the task at hand. Also, it helped him stay calculative even though he trusted that Dragon had already put everything in p
Name Unveiled
Laxus almost had his mouth open when he came out and he saw the caliber of people in the company’s hall.It was a large and gigantic hall with the biggest capacity that Laxus had ever seen, and it was beautifully decorated just for the occasion. “Please, let us all pay attention, because the CEO of this new company is about to make his first grand entrance,” the anchor of the party had said.Then there had been a still calmness.Laxus had stood in front of a wide curtain, not knowing what to expect, and as a result, he had been left with anticipation that rushed through his veins like adrenaline.“You can do this, Laxus,” Laxus had told himself firmly.Bowman already told him that the launching party would be aired live on the biggest and most popular TV channels and shows all over the entire country, and everyone would watch it just as it was happening. This was the biggest and hugest thing that had ever happened to Laxus. This feeling was completely new, because when he had worked
Godforsaken Interview!
“We should be ready to begin in a couple of minutes,” the interviewer, a sharp-witted, bright and cheerful, yet professional young lady said to her crew members.They were at Luther and Linnie’s matrimonial home for the couple’s interview of the year which would come with the juiciest deals they had ever gotten. Although the venue of the interview had initially been scheduled to take place at the TV station space, but it was later decided that interviewing them at the comfort of their home was better; of course, Darwin did pull a few strings to make that happen.They had been here for more than an hour now, but they were all patiently waiting for Luther and Linnie, because they knew that they were the power couple of the year, even though it was getting somewhat late.As soon as the interviewer and her crew members saw the stylists coming downstairs, they breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that it was an indication that their couple was done and they would be downstairs in a few minut
A King's Treat
Laxus did not bother much about Bowman’s absence or his conversation with the scary-looking man, because he was too engrossed with his thoughts.As Laxus looked around the wide, large, and incredibly spacious factory and all the things that Bowman said to him, he could not help but marvel.“All you should worry about is making a lifelong impression on everyone that would attend, and the world that would watch the highlight of the grand opening.”Those were Bowman’s words and they still rang in Laxus’s head like a bell. “I have a special speech to prepare for in a couple of hours,” Laxus told himself.He looked at himself and discovered how low he was looking, but then again, Bowman had said that there were already hired stylists. Everything was happening so fast and it felt like a sweet dream, and Laxus had to literally pinch himself to see if he would wake up.“So I am going to be the one responsible for building this from scratch,” Laxus talked to himself.Bowman’s time away was giv
