Rise Of The Rightful Heir Subtly Getting Closer
It was a completely busy day for Nessy, and she really liked it, because she enjoyed every single thing that she did; arranging the store, going shopping with the company’s driver and car to fill up the store, and even baking a single hamburger as sample.Laxus already accepted all her proposals, and also informed her about what he wanted to be done, and she was happy to obey his instructions, because if Nessy knew of anyone that knew exactly what he was doing, it would be Laxus. She could not wait for the hamburger store to be officially lunched. Laxus had already informed her that it would be next week, being that they would still have to employ some workers for various tasks and finish setting up the store.Nessy was very happy!After everything that she had been through, she could not believe that luck was shining on her, and also, she had a good apartment to go back to after work. However, Nessy could not stop thinking about the hug that Laxus gave her, and more, the intense emot
Rise Of The Rightful Heir Two Major Enemies
Luther drove back home like a wounded beast. Even though the conversation had just been between himself and Abby Golden, he had felt insulted and humiliated. Maybe he would not have won the contract with the Zayomi man, but he would have at least given it his best shot, and now, he had lost on both sides.“She prefers Laxus over me,” Luther said to himself angrily and bitterly.First, he had to marry a woman that Laxus had already been with, which was like marrying a hand-me-down woman, and now, the one woman that Luther loved dearly, Laxus wanted to steal her away as well. Luther was certain that if Laxus wasn’t in the picture at all, he would have had his chance with Abby, regardless of his marital status.“He is the more brilliant son, the more loved and favored grandson when granny was alive, and now, he is getting everything he wanted,” Luther continued to talk to himself hatefully.He was sick and tired of being rejected and Laxus being accepted. The only time he had enjoyed bei
Rise Of The Rightful Heir Who To Go With
It had been a very busy week for Laxus; online meetings with the men from Zayomi, trying to fix the hamburger store with Nessy and hiring workers to assist her, and also running the company’s affairs. Laxus could barely blink his eyes to rest, and he could not wait for the weekend where he would get to rest eventually.Anyway, one of the reasons Laxus was happy that he had been entirely busy was the fact that it helped him keep his mind off everything that transpired in Mr. Golden’s mansion, and also, the way he felt whenever he was close to Nessy. Every single day, they spent at least two hours together, and Laxus continued to fight his feelings towards her. He knew that it was not love; it could never be love…Laxus had declared himself incapable of loving any woman ever again, but then again, he could not tell what it was.However, being busy made him think of Nessy less, because as soon as he left her presence to face work, he usually forgot about her, or thought of her less. Laxu
Rise Of The Rightful Heir Enough Is Enough
“Bridget, please come into my office,” Laxus said over the intercom and a few seconds later, Bridget entered his office.“You called, sir,” Bridget said.“Yes, I did,” Laxus answered her. “I want you to book a flight for me and Nessy for mid week next week. I will forward all the details to your email,” Laxus instructed Bridget.He did not see the irritation and scowl that appeared on her face upon the mention of Nessy’s name. “Why her?” Bridget blurted out, making Laxus to raise his head up abruptly.“Excuse me?” Laxus asked, unsure of what he heard, and also unsure of the sharp tone of her voice.Bridget, realizing that she had spat out the hatred she had for Nessy by sounding that way and asking that question, cleared her throat and rephrased her question. “With all due respect, Mr. Laxus, I was merely asking what it is for…as your personal assistant concerned.”Laxus, being too busy and occupied with a lot of things decided not to think too much of what just transpired. “The Zayom
Rise Of The Rightful Heir The Feeling Of Doom
Laxus was still working when Bridget returned to his office.“Have you seen the email I sent you? Every useful information you need is there, so you can proceed with the flight booking and also take Nessy out for that shopping I spoke about,” Laxus said without even bothering to look at Bridget’s expression.“Gotten sir, but Nes…Miss Nessy will not be going with you on the trip,” Bridget told Laxus.Laxus snapped his head up in shock. “What do you mean by that?” Laxus asked. “Did you not deliver my message to her? I told you to tell her that it is an official obligation; one that cannot be turned down,” Laxus added. “I said all that, sir, exactly as you asked me to, but she looked at me square in the eyes and asked me to return to you with a negative response,” Bridget said, laying emphasis on every single word. Then cautiously, she continued. “Sir, I know that this isn’t my place, but I must confess that she was quite rude and disrespectful, and frankly, this is the first employee o

Bowman’s heart broke when he saw Laxus and when he heard him speak in that manner. He was more infuriated with Darwin now more than ever, and he wished that he could just do what he had in mind and finish everything off once and for all.“Please don’t say that,” Bowman said, trying to prevent his voice from shaking due to the immense emotion he was feeling. “Come with me, Laxus,” Bowman added as he led Laxus to his study room where they could talk privately.When they got there, Bowman poured them both two glasses of scotch.“I don’t think I am in the mood for drinks,” Laxus said, his eyes welling with tears. “Gosh, I am so close to achieving things, and now, it is going to go down the drain,” Laxus added sorrowfully.Now was not the time to cajole Laxus into drinking anything, so Bowman decided to drink alone. Then he sat close to Laxus and squeezed his knee hard.“A man should never accept defeat, especially when the battle hasn’t even begun,” Bowman said.“What should I do?” Laxus
Rise Of The Rightful Heir False Statements
Everyone was gathered in Darwin’s office, including Thaddeus who was still looking as though he was going to pee in his pants any moment from now. Darwin ensured that Detective George was always present, because he knew exactly how things like this usually played out. Luther was also there, and as expected, he was fuming, but Darwin refused to let that change anything. Darwin knew exactly what he was doing; he was a desperate and an ambitious father and businessman, and someday soon, Luther would understand all of it. Then there was Linnie, Darwin’s new shining light, and unlike what a lot of people knew about Darwin, he would use Linnie to achieve his goals before he finally decided on what he would do with her, although he already admitted that Linnie was surpassing his expectations by her exceptional skills.Then Darwin also invited the company lawyer and of course, a popular blogger to push the narrative. If he had never been serious about dragging Laxus down, he meant it now, e

“We have to go,” Bowman turned to Laxus and said after his call with Dragon.Laxus, however, did not think it was a good idea. For him, he was more worried about the fact that Thaddeus had been taken by someone, and Laxus had no doubt now that that person would be no other person but Darwin. Right now, he wanted to sort this issue out, because he believed that the news from Dragon about the lawyer could actually wait.“Right now?” Laxus asked Bowman.“Yes,” Bowman answered. “We have to now that he is awake and conscious,” Bowman added.“But we can always do that later, Bowman. What are we going to do about Darwin’s attempt to ruin me and your company?” Laxus asked worriedly.Bowman looked at Laxus and smiled. “Listen, boy, two things can be handled at the same time, and while we wait for things with Darwin to be sorted out, we should go and see the lawyer,” Bowman insisted.Laxus knew at this point that he would no longer be able to stop or persuade Bowman. Besides, he trusted the man

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
Final Warning
Darwin put the box on his desk and looked at it for some minutes. He just stared at it, allowing his mind to go blank for some seconds. Till now, he had not been able to open it. He had thought of giving it to a blacksmith to break the locks so just that he could see what was in it that the bloody old woman kept hidden from everyone, but then again, Darwin might get caught in the process. Besides, there was no reason to hurry up with it, especially now that his hands were full with other important things, like finding ways to bring Laxus down. He had all the time in the world to open it. The only persons that knew that the box was with him were Luther and Detective George, and he trusted them to keep their mouths shut.And he was the only one who knew that the box was in this very building and in his office.Darwin had contemplated carrying it to his house, but he was always having whores over, and as such, he did not want to take the risk of any of them snooping around. This was als
A Brother's Warning Visit
It had been a long day for Laxus, but one thing he was grateful for was that he had been able to warn Linnie off. Nevertheless, he had also instructed one of bodyguards to hang around Nessy’s apartment just in case Linnie tried to be stubborn, because she was not to be trusted. He had given the bodyguard a firm instruction to not only prevent anyone strange from gaining access into the apartment, but also informing him immediately. Laxus would do anything to keep Nessy safe.Albeit, Nessy was not aware of the bodyguard arrangement.Laxus didn’t get the chance to go back to the office and speak to Bridget about what Nessy said about her, but he could always do that the next day. For now, Laxus wanted to just have his dinner and rest fully. However, that seemed impossible when Laxus got the alarm; someone new had approached his gate.Laxus called his security instantly.“Who is that?” Laxus asked.“He says his name is Luther Kinkaid, sir,” his security answered, taking Laxus aback.“Are
The Meet-Up
Laxus waited for Linnie at the location he sent to her. It was a private place, and because of his standing in the city, he was assured of privacy.Laxus would not have demanded for privacy in this manner, but he needed to address and correct things. He also knew that he should have just gone about this the legal way, but judging by Darwin’s lawsuit threat, if he went right ahead with legal restriction orders, they might twist the narrative and say that Laxus was only doing it because of what he was being accused of, and knowing how gullible the public were, they would buy it hook, line, and sinker.Laxus knew without a doubt that Linnie would show up and show he waited for her patiently, and he was right; Linnie walked right in a couple of minutes later. She had a smile on her face, but as Laxus set his eyes on her, his stomach recoiled in anger.“Have you ordered something for me? You have always known what I like and gotten it correctly,” Linnie said sweetly.Laxus was only having
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
