Rise Of The Rightful Heir Stolen Recipe
As Laxus laid on his couch that night while Nessy slept on his small bed, he could not stop thinking about what Nessy had said.“…someone really special and close to my heart used to work for them.”Was it a relative or a lover? Laxus could not tell, and it troubled him greatly. He could not find sleep, and he could not stop thinking about it either. He earnestly wanted to find what employee of the Kinkaid company the person was, but Laxus knew that asking those questions might put him in the light of things, which he didn’t want. With only a few hours that he had spent alone with Nessy, he already knew that she was not just a chatty and merry-go-round kind of girl. She was also smart, and she would definitely figure out something. Also, tears had gathered in her eyes, and since Laxus could not stand a crying woman, he lad let the matter die.Still, Laxus wanted to know by every means possible.He could not guarantee that and Nessy would be on speaking terms now that he had helped her
Rise Of The Rightful Heir Laid Off
It took Laxus some time to be able to get over his shock.“Excuse me sir, but that is a blatant lie!” Laxus said defensively.The recipe he had been using to make hamburgers that had been making customers troop into the restaurant was his grandmother’s secret recipe which Laxus had inherited from her when she died. Often times, when he was much younger, he usually spent time with his grandmother at the Kinkaid family mansion. What a lot of people didn’t know was that Laxus’s maternal grandmother was the head behind the Kinkaid Distillery company. She had inherited it from her father who didn’t live long enough to build the company to its peak, and out of love, had allowed her husband to be the face of the company while she stayed at home to take care of their two daughters, Laxus’s mother and her younger sister, while still brainstorming for the company.As the business grew and expanded over the years, what people didn’t know was that it was divided into two companies; the Kinkaid Di
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

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
