Laxus could not stop thinking about his conversation with Bowman. Truly, he had thought that he could walk away and live in peace, but it was obvious now that no matter what, his family would use their influence and powers to fight him.

“I have left the company and family name; why can’t they leave me alone?” Laxus asked himself in agony.

He had spent the entire night after Bowman left, but he had the unwavering feeling that this would not be the end of the battle. If they could try to set him up once even after leaving, they would definitely try to do it again, and Laxus could not just wait idly by for them to come to him and destroy him. Laxus remembered the tarot reader at Bowman’s mansion and what she had said about him. At that time, it had been scary, and Laxus hadn’t wanted to hear anything about it, but now, he realized that he was in deep danger.

”And you must fight them back, Laxus.”

Those were the words of Bowman, and they could not stop racing in his mind. He could not sto

    Laxus arrived at his apartment feeling better than he had ever felt in a really long time. Suddenly, he did not feel the weight of anything on him. After his call to Bowman, he was asked to come to Bowman’s mansion the next day, because Bowman went out of town that morning.So Laxus went back to his apartment and decided to rest for the entire day before his life would change for the better. He began to think of what he could do with such an amount of money, because whatever Laxus decided to do, he could not afford to fail. Laxus already concluded that he would work his butt off, and he would pay Bowman back the money; he realized that he actually needed money to be able to fight his family back, because if Laxus had his own money, his family would not be able to treat him like total trash, and the only person that would be able to give him that amount of money was Bowman.While Laxus was thinking, his phone rang; it was Mr. Henry.Laxus decided to pick up. “Good morning, Mr. Henry,”

    Laxus could not stop thinking about everything that was happening around him as well as Bowman’s incredible offer, and at the same time, he could not wait until the next day to meet with Bowman.“What does he want from me?” Laxus asked himself.First of all, he offered Laxus a billion dollar bill to sort out himself, and right after Laxus turned him down, he sends an anonymous recommendation to Mr. Henry to help him retain his job, and also use his connection and money to get Laxus out of prison.“He must definitely want something in return,” Laxus concluded.He wasn’t stupid. There was certainly no way anyone could be this generous without asking for anything in return. Laxus was a stranger to Bowman, and even though he knew that Laxus was a Kinkaid, he was still a stranger, and as such, an impossible notion for him to be so interested in Laxus’s wellbeing all for nothing. Well, whatever Bowman was after would not definitely be as dreadful as the antagonism he was getting from his fa

    Linnie was having trouble sleeping as she paced about her room in her silky expensive robe.She and Luther had separate bedrooms right from the beginning of their marriage, and she could literally count the number of times they have had sex.“How am I supposed to get pregnant?” Linnie would often ask herself whenever she was being reminded that she should have birthed a Kinkaid child for Luther. In truth, Linnie hadn’t put in extra effort to get Luther to bed her, because she was more focused on getting herself into the Kinkaid company than having a baby. If she had a baby, they would ensure that she stayed indoors and nurtured the child, but if Linnie managed to get a seat in the company, she would be able to secure a future for herself.Being Luther’s wife alone was not enough.Linnie thought about her life before she met Laxus Kinkaid, and she shook her head furiously.“I am never going back there,” Linnie told herself firmly, and she meant it.Darwin could embarrass and humiliate

    Linnie continued to pace about as her mind flashed back to everything that had happened, how she had twisted fate to her advantage that took her out of the slum and the cruel and greedy hands of her uncle and his wife, and the decisions that she had taken to also change her life for the better.After she had given Laxus his wallet as though he had forgotten it and had graciously returned it, Laxus had picked an instant interest in her. Soon enough, a relationship began between them, spurred by the fact that Linnie had pretended not to have known that he was Laxus Kinkaid. Laxus had been impressed, because according to him, he had always been with women who were only with him for his money.“I find you quite interesting, and being with you makes me feel safe and comfortable. I do not have to try as much as possible to act like I am the son of a rich man, because you accepted me even before you knew who I was,” Laxus had said on the day that he had asked Linnie to be his girlfriend. “Al

    “Please, protect me from those who would aim to hurt me as a result of Gary’s death.”Those had been Nessy’s exact words and Laxus could not stop thinking about them. Before Nessy had left his apartment the day before, she had begged him to protect her. How she ever thought that Laxus would be able to protect her, Laxus had no idea.“The boss will see you shortly,” one of the domestic workers at Bowman’s mansion informed Laxus, disrupting his thought.“Okay, thank you,” Laxus said as he shifted thoughts of Nessy and her plea away from his mind.Then he sat up straighter as he waited for Bowman. He could not fill his mind with thoughts of Nessy and whatever problems she might be having when he also had problems of his own. He never told Nessy, but he was in a more danger of rotting away if he didn’t find a way to keep their cruelty at bay. “Laxus!” Bowman called out as he walked into his living room, looking refreshed and energetic.There was just something about Bowman that proved tha

    “You want something from me,” Laxus insisted. “There is no way you can make me believe that you want nothing from me,” Laxus faced Bowman and said, getting more agitated. It was as though he was going deeper and deeper into a hole with Bowman. “What you want from me?” Laxus questioned.“You are tense, Laxus,” Bowman said calmly.His calmness when Laxus was having a hard time mentally made Laxus even more uncomfortable. “What do you want from me?” Laxus asked more firmly. “If you insist that it is nothing, I would have to decline your offer and leave,” Laxus stated.He did not mean that, of course, because he was too desperate to turn down Bowman’s offer. Right now, more than ever before, Laxus had realized that he needed some money and power. Passing a night in cell made him realize what he was up against, but the incident with Nessy made him conclude that there was no way out of this now.Bowman stared at Laxus intently, trying to decipher the extent of Laxus’s threat, and Laxus ens

    Darwin waited until it was late in the evening before packing up to leave, including his secretary, because he did not need any interruptions.When Darwin was certain that most of his staff members had gone home, he called one of his drivers and said into the phone, “You may drive home, but leave the tinted Lexus car behind. I have a very important appointment that I need to sort out alone.”“Yes, boss,” Darwin’s driver said and ended the call. Darwin watched from his window to ensure that his drivers and bodyguards had driven out. Then he grabbed his briefcase and walked out of the office, but when he passed by Luther’s office, he was surprised to see that Luther’s office door was ajar and Luther was speaking in low tones. Darwin tried to eavesdrop into Luther’s conversation, but Luther’s voice was so low that no matter how closely Darwin glued his ears to the door, he could not hear a single word that Luther was saying.Darwin had no other choice than to open the door.Luther was s

    Laxus went home right after he stormed out of Bowman’s house. He turned the offer down, and this time around, he meant it.“I will not be used a second time,” Laxus said firmly to himself.He had given his best to the Kinkaid Distillery Company and what did he get at the end? Laxus was not stupid, and he was right to even demand for what Bowman wanted, because he knew damn well that there was no way Bowman would give him such an amount of money without desiring something in return. “I am not going to allow myself to become a tool in another’s man’s hands,” Laxus vowed to himself.First of all, he already sensed that there was something underneath Bowman’s supposed “generosity” and “care” towards him. Secondly, Bowman held a grudge against his family, and he was looking for a tool that he would use. Laxus might not know the story behind that, and he knew that his family was capable of indulging in something that was callous and evil, but he did not want to be a part of it. What Laxus

    “It hurts, right?” Drake sneered at Nessy as he could see that she was stunned beyond words and she could not get her eyes off the screen.Drake reached out and snatched the phone off Nessy’s hand.“Now you can stop being delusional and know where you belong,” Drake added despitefully.Nessy’s hold on the stool for defense had weakened. She could not begin to explain how it made her feel, other than the fact that Drake was right. Not that Laxus owed her anything; far from that, and Nessy was never an entitled young woman who believed that anyone owed her anything, but she just felt slighted and pained. When she had accidently killed Gary, Laxus was the only one she could think to call as a friend that she could trust, and he had not only shown up, he had also helped her get out of the situation without getting caught, even though she was still getting threats. Nessy just felt that Laxus should have said something to her instead of just abandoning her like that after knowing what she h

  • Out Of Her League Now

    Nessy busied herself with waiting tables, but her mind was not settled. Since she sent Laxus a voicemail about needing him, she neither got a response nor a call back, which made her worried. To Nessy, this was the second time that she was calling Laxus and he did not come to her aid. She had also noticed how subtly dismissive he had been towards her, but she had ignored the signs because she felt that because of what happened, they were friends.Last night, when Laxus did not show up, she had gone to his apartment after she closed from work, but then again, he hadn’t been home.“I just hope he is okay,” Nessy said to herself as she went about her work.She worried about Laxus because she liked him enough as her friend. When Mr. Henry employed her, Nessy just felt like Laxus was the only person that she connected with on a friendship level even though he gave her the cold shoulders. Something drew Nessy to Laxus; she could not explain it, and she could not control it either.After th

    “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

    “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

    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

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

    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

    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

    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
