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

Laxu would be a fool to believe or trust any word that comes out of the mouth of someone like Linnie.“I don’t want to know anything, Linnie. Get out of my apartment, right now!” Laxus said and meant every word.Now that they were alone, Laxus could not stand the sight of her. He had thought that Linnie was the only good thing he had going on until she betrayed him without any iota of remorse. “This shabby thing is what you call an apartment?” Linnie asked condescendingly. “Laxus, this place is a shithole that even pigs should not live in,” Linnie said.Laxus jaw tightened with annoyance. It was one thing to have to deal with her betrayal from afar, and it was another thing entire to have her stand in front of him and bring him down after all he had been through. “Get out,” Laxus ordered Linnie, more sternly this time around.He was ready to lay his hand on that delicate skin of hers and throw her out himself, because he knew without a doubt that Linnie was here for a suspicious mis
Rise Of The Rightful Heir Anonymous Recommendation
Laxus was unable to sleep that night as several thoughts ran through his mind. He was bothered about Nessy and where she would have gone to at that time of the night, but he was more worried about Linnie’s visit. First of all, she had shown up unannounced, meaning that her visit meant something, but then again, Laxus did not even give her the chance to corrupt his mind with whatever reason she had come for.There was also the issue of her mini-purse which was left in his apartment.Thinking about it now, Laxus could not tell if Linnie deliberately dropped the pause or she really forgot it, because as far as he could remember, she did not even sit for a minute, so how on earth did she leave her purse on his couch. Something was definitely not right.Laxus was woken up by the ringing of his phone. Laxus was surprised to see that it was Mr. Henry that was calling him.“Good morning, Mr. Henry,” Laxus said immediately he picked up. Laxus sat up in bed immediately, because regardless of
Rise Of The Rightful Heir The Absent Worker
Fear and dread gripped Laxus as he stood behind Mr. Henry, but he had to keep himself from being noticed, because the moment anyone sensed any unusual behavior in him, they would suspect him, especially the detective.Mr. Henry gasped upon hearing the words of the detective.“Mr. Gary is dead?” Mr. Henry asked, genuinely shocked.“Unfortunately, he is,” the detective said and his eyes met Laxus’s.Laxus removed his eyes immediately, and he wondered if that would be considered a suspicious act. Laxus hadn’t expected that his eyes would be met with Detective George’s gaze, and that was because Laxus was consumed with thoughts of what happened and guilt as well.“Someone, or some persons went into his home last night and killed him in cold blood,” Detective George said.Mr. Henry gasped in shock again while the other two waitresses covered their mouths with their hands. Laxus did not know the right thing to do that would make him act as surprised as the others. Should he gasp too or cove
Rise Of The Rightful Heir Prime Suspect
“Laxus, you were here last night?” Mr. Henry asked, surprised.Laxus could feel his knees getting weak and giving way, but he had to hold himself from falling. His insides were already shaking profusely. Laxus hadn’t expected Drake to say anything, or maybe he didn’t remember that he almost got into an altercation last night with Drale; of course, Drake would say something.Anything to put Laxus away for good.“Yes,” Drake answered when Laxus was hesitating. “He rushed in here as though he would fight with me, but when he didn’t find Nessy here, because I told him that she was off, he tried calling her, and then he just dashed off,” Drake explained explicitly.Laxus wished that he could put a cloth over Drake’s mouth to prevent him from talking, but it was already too late. If he had checked his phone after the distress call from Nessy, he would have seen her text message, and he would not have come to the restaurant first, and now, aside from the other shocked eyes, Laxus could feel

“You didn’t see this staff in question at all throughout the night last night?” The detective queried, looking intently and deeply into Laxus’s eyes, as though he was looking to detect a lie in his eyes.Laxus knew that now that he was being suspected, he could not afford to look away. If he did, it would give the detective the chance to rope him in, because somehow, Laxus felt that the detective was trying to hold him responsible for anything at all. Laxus had this feeling that the detective was holding something against him, or maybe the man did not just like him. Laxus could not tell, but the feeling was strong and it was there and it was unsettling.“No, I did not see her at all,” Laxus lied again. But even as Laxus lied, his heart beat faster, because it was not certain that Nessy was missing. Maybe she went over to a friend’s apartment last night, or even returned to her parents, and if either of those options were the case, it meant that Nessy would be found and equally interr
Rise Of The Rightful Heir Under Arrest
The moment Detective George requested to have Laxus’s phone, Laxus thought that he was going to pass out. There was no way the detective would see what Nessy texted him that he would not immediately rope Laxus in. With the way the detective had been going, he would be more than glad to get Laxus arrested, and when that happened, Laxus would have no one to bail him him.“Laxus, please give the detective your phone,” Mr. Henry said.He sounded somewhat worried about Laxus, and also disappointed, but instead of obeying what he had been told, Laxus stood still and unmoving. All eyes were on him.“Let me have your phone!” Detective George was getting impatient. “Do you know how grievous it is to withhold any information that might be helpful to an officer?” He asked, charging at Laxus.Laxus could not wrap his head around why the detective was so hell-bent on antagonizing him, especially as Laxus was certain that he had never seen the man before, but he knew that if Detective George saw t
Rise Of The Rightful Heir Finish Things Up
For the first time ever since Linnie officially became a part of the Kinkaid family by marrying Luther, Darwin sat in his office and conversed with Linnie while they waited for Luther and the fourth person to join them.“Why is Luther taking so much time for heaven’s sake?” Darwin asked, his patience gradually running out.He was actually getting fed up of his son being so reluctant and nonchalant about the wealth that he wanted them to accumulate for as long as they could. Luther was smart and intelligent, but when it came to the affairs and decisions of the company, he was too relaxed for Darwin’s liking. The fact that he did whatever he wanted to do when it liked to do it aggravated Darwin.“He should be here soon,” Linnie said even though she wasn’t sure of that herself. “According to him, the game he had to watch could not be missed,” Linnie asked with a twist of her lips.Darwin would definitely not crucify for openly showing her frustration with having to deal with Luther, beca

Dilemma
Luther felt better. The pain that he was feeling from the fall was gone after resting for twenty-four hours. However, he was still acting as though he needed help and support from Linnie.And it was for a reason.“Mr. Luther, would you like to have lunch here in your bedroom or downstairs at the dining table?” The maid asked Luther.Although he felt sound and better, he just still laid in bed as his mind thought about everything that had happened. He felt terrible and upset that he gave Linnie the chance to take the upper hand, and more than that, he was curious about those letters.“She knocked me out because of those letters,” Luther thought in his mind. “There must be something in it that she is hiding, so much so that she was willing to kill me. Then where was she the entire time? Where did she get the letters from?” Luther could not stop thinking.He was relieved that Linnie had eventually left him alone to tend to other things. She had been in his face since they returned from t
Honeymoon Suggestion
Laxus thought that his heart would explode with emotions with the way he was feeling deep inside, so much so that he simply sat on their bed when they arrived home later that evening.After the lawyer had read the will, he had handed the official keys to the mansion to Laxus and congratulated him on the inheritance. The small box would also have been given to Laxus, but they all knew that it was missing. All attempts to get necessary information about his upbringing and why his grandmother was particular about not wanting Darwin anywhere near the mansion had been impossible.The lawyer had left after his mission was accomplished, and Laxus had had to sit through a dinner party that he wasn’t really in the mood for. However, Nessy was such a good guest that Laxus’s mood did not ruin the purpose for the dinner.“I should have known that including a celebratory dinner alongside with the will reading would not work well, but I guess I didn’t put things into consideration much,” Bowman had
Firm Instructions
Laxus could not help the tears that flowed from his eyes. The entire study was quiet as everyone allowed Laxus to sob without interruption, which Laxus was very grateful for. In that moment, he was not ashamed to display vulnerability, and he wouldn’t even have been able to control it even if he had wanted to. His emotions were doing being a rollercoaster at the moment and a lot of things were running through his mind. Never in his wildest dreams would Laxus have thought that his grandmother would bequeath to him the biggest and oldest mansions in the entire city…and to think that he had neglected to look after it after her passing.The only thing that Laxus had been concerned about when she died was the grief and heaviness in his heart. He had never imagined that his granny was capable of dying, because even if she was clearly old, she was filled with love and life, so Laxus was extremely devastated when she had passed.The last thing that had been on his mind had been inheritance.
His Inheritance
On their way to Bowman’s mansion, as they sat at the back of the car, Laxus felt as though his tongue had been tied.He was still very embarrassed with his reaction about Nessy’s whereabouts. He had acted like a teenager who was scared that his mother had abandoned him, and worse, his voice had been frantic and loud enough that Nessy had heard him. Even though Nessy hadn’t said anything about it or reacted to it, Laxus had felt completely flushed. Fortunately for him, Nessy had simply accepted to go with him to Bowman’s, abandoning the breakfast that she had prepared for the both of them.“I am sorry that we couldn’t have the breakfast that you took time making,” Laxus eventually managed to break the ice. “Bowman sounded urgent, and if we had stayed back to eat, we would have been late. Nevertheless, we would have the next breakfast together,” Laxus promised.Now, he didn’t know if Nessy was cold because he didn’t eat what she had prepared or if she was still on about last night.“It’
A Franctic Husband
Laxus was forced to open his eyes when his phone rang beside the bed table. He reached forth for Nessy, but her side of the bed was empty.“Why did she leave the bed so early?” Laxus asked himself, getting worried and wondering if she had crawled back to her hole.He could still recall what she said last night, and how speechless he had been. A part of him had told him that she had made that confession in her sleepy state, so she couldn’t have realized that he didn’t say a word, right? Even though he had only been married to Nessy for a couple of days, he already knew that she was an emotional woman with a soft heart.Not saying that he loved her too could hurt her deeply and make her recoil, but then again, Laxus hadn’t even decided if he was truly in love with Nessy as well, and he did not want to lie to her.Laxus’s phone began to ring again, taking him out of his reverie. He was somewhat relieved when the caller ID showed Bowman. Since they returned from their trip, Laxus hadn’t s
Not So Much In Charge
Darwin refused to believe the crap the doctor just told him. He became wild and frantic and the doctor had to leave him for a second to get Luther.Darwin struggled hard to get on his feet, clenching his teeth bravely to prevent him from crying out in pain and attracting the attention of anyone at all. He would rather die than let anyone see him defeated.Darwin tried and tried, but the pain was too much to bear, and his legs just wouldn’t move an inch because his waist was completely numb.“Fuck!” Darwin exclaimed in frustration.It was not until he almost fell off the bed that he decided to stop struggling. It would be worse for anyone to find him on the floor, so Darwin decided that he would simply wait for Luther to show up and have him take him out of here. Darwin would not be defeated!His heart was racing and beating really fast, because a part of him kept reminding him about what the doctor said, but because Darwin could never imagine being in that position, he refused to take
A Hardened Patient
Darwin tried to sit up, but the sharp pain that shot through him from every part of his body sent him back to the bed and he groaned out loud in pain, causing his assigned nurse to rush into his ward.He was feeling numb on his waist and he was frustrated as fuck.“Mr. Darwin, I suggest you stay put,” the young nurse said frantically as she tried to check Darwin if he was alright.As soon as her hand touched Darwin, he hit her hand away from his body violently, making her yelp in pain.“I was only trying to help you,” she said solemnly.“I don’t need your freaking help!” Darwin yelled at her rudely. “Where is my doctor?” Darwin asked angrily.He hated being confined to a hospital bed. For years, he had managed to stay far away from hospitals and doctors, and now that he was here, he wanted to leave badly. He could not understand why he was feeling this much pain, and why he wasn’t feeling his waist. It had been just a push from Bowman’s man, so it couldn’t have been that bad. Besides,
The Kinkaid Wife
Linnie sat dutifully in Luther’s ward, close to his bed in the hospital like a loving and caring wife that she was. They had been in the hospital all night, but she felt relieved now, because her knee had been treated and the pain had greatly subsided. Linnie could rarely believe how everything had worked in her favor. She had ensured that the bloggers had gotten the story, and now that it was dawn, she believed that the news would be flying all over the internet in no time.Luther opened his eyes, finally awake.The doctor had given him some sedatives to make him sleep better after he was examined, and also some drugs to help the alcohol get out of his system faster. He looked like a mess, and once again, Linnie realized that he was not half as handsome as Laxus.“You,” Luther said grudgingly when he turned and saw Linnie. “I don’t want you here, you evil woman,” Luther declared.Of course, Linnie knew that he would try to be a nuisance once he woke up, but she was very well prepare
A Perfect Way Too Reconcile
Laxus wondered if he had not made the mistake of not letting Nessy sleep in the guestroom like she wanted, because she had become cold and unhappier. He felt terrible, because this wasn’t what he envisioned for the both of them, especially with how they had been during their trip before the Zayomi man spoilt things for them.As Laxus cast a glance over Nessy who was sleeping beside him on their bed, he worried about what they were becoming. His heart ached badly.“Why do I feel this way about being neglected?” Laxus asked himself worriedly.He could as well be very contented with the fact that Nessy was willing to play the perfect couple out there in public, and as long as they were cordial inside the home, he shouldn’t have minded, but Laxus couldn’t. He wanted things between himself and Nessy to be better than it had been. He wanted to be happy again, and he wanted to make Nessy happy.“You are in love with her.”A bold voice that sounded like Bowman’s said in Laxus’s head, but this
