Rise Of The Rightful Heir A Rare Gift Of Companionship
“How is it going?” Bowman asked Laxus as he served Laxus his favorite wine in his bar in his mansion.“This week has been the craziest week of my life,” Laxus said, accepting the wine and downing it in one swoop.He hadn’t tasted wine at all the entire week, not to talk of something as good as expensive as what he was having now. He arrived at the company early to resume interviews of staff members and closed later at night. Laxus even hardly had time to eat. The only time he had to eat was dinnertime, and the chef whom Bowman had stationed in his new mansion did her job perfectly well. She always ensured that Laxus had dinner before going to bed otherwise Laxus would have skipped dinner as well. No matter how early she tried to wake up to fix breakfast, Laxus was always earlier. “You look drained already,” Bowman said, chuckling. “Have you even had time to shave? I can see your stubbles,” Bowman observed, and he was not jesting around.Laxus used his hand to touch his face, and he r

Laxus arrived at the restaurant that Abby had told him that she had booked a reservation, and the moment his driver parked at the parking lot, Laxus regretted his actions immediately.“I shouldn’t have let Bowman talk me into this,” Laxus told himself grudgingly.This was a Sunday, and the best thing he would have done for himself was rest the entire day so that he could wake up energized and ready for the day on Monday, but here he was, dressed up and about to have dinner with someone he barely knew. Laxus was certain that he had sworn off love and women after the sting from Linnie, so again, what was he doing here? Laxus was tempted to ask his driver to drive him back to his mansion, but he knew that Bowman would not let him hear the last of it.“All I just have to do is show up, engage in a short conversation, and tell Bowman that there was no spark so that he would leave me the hell alone,” Laxus told himself.Then he got out of the car and walked into the restaurant. It was an ex
Rise Of The Rightful Heir What No One Sees
Luther sat in his office and tried to work on some files. He did not have an in-depth knowledge of them, and as he tried to get a hang of it, he realized that they were very difficult.“Damn, these stuffs never get easy no matter how hard I try,” Luther said in frustration. “How does anyone ever get them right? I have been on this since morning, and still, no result,” Luther grumbled angrily.He really hated to be in the company. He would prefer his secret passion to wearing a fancy suit and wasting days in the company when he did not understand shit, but then again, his father would kill him if he knew that after all these years, Luther was still dumb to whatever was going on in the company. Luther was beginning to have a headache just trying to get a hang of it.“No, that’s enough for one day. I obviously cannot do this, and there is no point trying to,” Luther said to himself. Then he did what he always did; he picked up his landline and dialed the secretary’s number assigned to hi
Rise Of The Rightful Heir Bloody
Darwin’s jaw tightened angrily. “That bastard,” he said to himself, but loud enough for Luther to hear him.Luther knew that that name was a bad blood around his father. He could not exactly tell, but it was the one name that made Luther’s father’s blood boil whenever he heard it, and Luther wondered who this Bowman was, and why he riled his dad up so much.“Please, spare my life,” the doctor pleaded. Luther managed to turn and look at the doctor, and his eyes were filled with fear and dread for his life. Luther opened his mouth to ask his father if there wasn’t any other way that they could have gotten this information out of him, but he changed his mind and swallowed instead. He knew that asking his father would only make him very aggravated, especially at a time like this.“Where did Bowman take him to?” Darwin asked. “If you lie to me or hide any information from me, be aware that your family is going to pay the costly price,” Darwin threatened deeply.Luther turned his face away
Rise Of The Rightful Heir One Last Try
Linnie waited patiently in the room that she had brought Nessy in twice now, and she was about to get it done for the third time.She couldn’t wait until the usual time when she accosted Nessy, because she needed to be home, so she had texted Detective George to meet her up.“I am tied up with work at the moment, ma’am,” Detective George had grumbled, but Linnie had gotten pissed off the excuse instead.She was Linnie Kinkaid; fearless, ruthless, determined, and always getting whatever the heck she wanted, and she expected everyone to run to do her bidding the moment she called. The only people that seemed to make things difficult for her were Darwin and Luther, but she was also working her way around that.Which was why she was doing this anyway.“Get your ass here this very minute, Detective George, and you are not going to keep me waiting,” Linnie had commanded and ended the call.She knew that Detective George would have no choice but to forsake whatever it was that was keeping hi
Rise Of The Rightful Heir Ruffle Feathers If You Have To
The weeks of employing and picking out his staff were over, and Laxus could not have been more relieved. Now, he simply just began to hold seminars for his employed staff to get to know the rules and regulations that he had put in place so as to be able to run the company effectively. “Your coffee, Mr. Laxus,” Bridget said as she placed his cup of coffee on his table.Laxus took a sip from it and sighed in relief. It had been a tedious morning already, as Laxus and his new staff members had to arrive early so that they could kick start officially. They were getting the first Laxus Distillery Cave brand produced and distributed throughout the country. One thing that Laxus had one was also make contacts and contracts for sales, which came really easy for him because of the standing reputation he had while he worked for Kinkaid Distillery Company, and the strength of his new company.“Thank you, Bridget,” Laxus said and meant it.Since he hired Bridget weeks ago, he had not had any cou
Rise Of The Rightful Heir Disturbing And Bad News
Bowman was having a hard time sleeping, especially after his call with Laxus.“That young man is still under the whims of Darwin,” Bowman said to himself.He was pissed off. All his attempts to get Laxus to become as fearless and ruthless as every businessman should be were proving abortive. He needed Laxus to know that there was no way he could climb the ladder of success in the world without making enemies, and deep down, Bowman wanted Laxus to begin to see Darwin as both an enemy and a competitor.At least that way, he could be rest assured that Darwin’s tactics towards Laxus would not be effective. If Laxus continued this way, Darwin might be able to make him hide away, and that would be Bowman’s greatest regret, especially with how far he had invested in Laxus.Many years ago…Bowman gave the response he did to Laxus because he did not make to say the exact words that would put Laxus on the edge. He had tried it twice before now, and it never worked. The only reason he had been a
Rise Of The Rightful Heir Strange Attitude
Linnie noticed that Luther had been holed up in bed for days now since the last time he returned home from work at night.“He skipped his breakfast again,” their chef reported to Linnie.“Again?” Linnie asked, worried.This should be the fifth time in a row that Luther was skipping food, and she wondered if her husband had not died in his room, because how could anyone survive without food for that long? Aside from that, Linnie had been living under the same roof with Luther, even though it was not in the same bedroom, and one thing that she knew about Luther was that he never joked with his breakfast. She even rarely had breakfast, but virtually even morning when she would come downstairs, she would meet Luther having breakfast, but now he had been rejecting his food.“What did you make for breakfast?” Linnie asked.She had never really cared to ask, because they had a sufficient maid who knew what she was doing, as well as competent domestic staff members, and Linnie had never lifted

Morning Awkwardness
Laxus was the first to wake up and he discovered that he and Nessy were wrapped up in each other’s arms, and the scent of her hair wafted into his nostrils.The night before had been bliss, and they had both been caught up in the euphoria of it.They had had sex, drunk wine, eaten, and continued until late in the night when they had both fallen asleep in each other’s arms. It was dawn now, and Laxus did not feel like untangling himself. When he had suggested they got married, Laxus hadn’t envisioned sex as part of the bargain, and maybe that was why neither of them spoke about it. Granted, Laxus had been somewhat attracted to Nessy, especially recently, and that would most likely explain the awkwardness between the two of them, but never had he thought that they would jump into bed with each other as soon as they were alone in the same space.To be honest, Laxus had spent the other night at Bowman’s because he did not know exactly what to do with a wife or what to say to Nessy. This w
Compulsory Honeymoon
Laxus and Linnie arrived at the hotel that the Zayomi company had booked for them already. Since they touched down at the airport, they had been receiving nothing short of premium treatment.A convoy was sent to pick them up with flowers and they were driven straight to the hotel; one of the biggest and most grand hotels in the country, and this was the first time that someone like Nessy was being exposed to this kind of luxury.Nessy could not even hide her awe.As Nessy looked around in awe, Laxus took that time to steal glances at her, and he found himself staring in admiration. One thing that Laxus had first come to realize about Nessy was the fact that she was effortlessly beautiful.Unlike Linnie when they started dating who needed to apply literally every beauty product on her just to look gorgeous even though Laxus tried to tell her severally that she was beautiful just the way she was, and that she did not need to do too much, but all of that had fallen on deaf ears. Being a
The Family's Slave
Linnie thought that she might have heard wrongly, but of course, Darwin would never make jokes about something as crucial as this.And Luther had a smug look on his face.“But I thought I was doing well,” Linnie said desperately.She had fought so hard to get a position in the company, and now, she was just going to be asked to stop even when she hadn’t worked for up to one month? Linnie felt humiliated.“Your services are no longer required in the company,” Darwin said tightly, his voice harsh, but then again, she was used to it by now.Right from the first day she got acquainted to Darwin when she was still with Laxus, Darwin had never played nice with her.“I don’t understand,” Linnie said, trying to keep the tears from coming to her eyes, because she knew that if they came, she would definitely shed them, and Linnie would hate to give Darwin or even Luther the impression that they were hurting her this deeply.“What don’t you understand, Linnie?” Luther asked impatiently. “Dad alr
Get Pregnant
Darwin barged into Luther and Linnie’s home as early as possible like a wild animal.“What the fuck! Is he doing this for popularity or publicity?” Darwin asked, fuming dangerously.Linnie returned back in time with no one suspecting her, and the buzz of Laxus’s marriage announcement and Abby Golden’s passing out not only made it easy for Linnie to slip out of the company unnoticed just as she had come, but also kept her out of the headlines. She had successfully been able to attend the function without being noticed by anyone, even though the outcome wasn’t what she had anticipated at all.Linnie was relieved that it wasn’t Abby Golden that Laxus had made that announcement with; maybe she would have been the one who collapsed, but at the same time, she was heartbroken and devastated.“He did it to spite me,” Linnie told herself all through the night.She could not sleep a wink!Of course Laxus had no idea that she was there, but he knew without a doubt that it would make the headlin
After The Announcement
The entire city was abuzz with new of Laxus’s abrupt marriage announcement on the day of the hamburger store launch.Right after the news, and after Abby Golden created a scene by passing out, almost every became chaotic. While the paramedics were trying to pay attention to Abby and get her back to consciousness, the bloggers, pressmen, paparazzi and media personality, people who were actually allowed into the venue so that they could capture the event, gathered around Nessy in the blink of an eye, bombarding her with questions.“Did you marry Mr. Laxus for money?”“Why a secret and suddenly wedding?”“Why wasn’t anyone invited?”“Are you both hiding something?”“Where did you come out from, because no one ever knew about you until now?”“Is this a marriage of love, convenience, or a contract marriage?” Nessy had almost fainted herself with the heat of their surrounding presence, because they hardly gave her any space to breathe, but she ensured that she did not open her mouth to res
The Big Announcement
The entire city was going ablaze again by the news of Laxus’s hamburger store launching.Every blogger and news press were talking about it. TV show hosts have nothing else to talk about other than it. All the bloggers and paparazzi were all gathered at the company already.It was a big day in Las Vegas, just like the day Laxus’s company was launched.“He is making waves, again,” Linnie said as she kept on reading posts about it from different blogging sites.She could not even keep her phone down. It was obvious that Laxus would soon become one of the biggest names in the city. Ever since the launching of his company, he had been soaring higher; way higher than the Kinkaid Distillery Company, even though Darwin would rather die than admit it. Now more than ever before, even though Linnie had been telling herself otherwise sometimes, she wished she hadn’t betrayed Laxus. Now, she wished that she stayed with him even when Darwin came with the offer to remain in the family by marrying
Marry Me
Laxus did not waste time after his lengthy discussion with Bowman whom he now greatly regarded, and as Bowman even gave his consent, Laxus didn’t hold back.He left his office and went to meet Nessy at the hamburger store. The hamburger store launching was the next day, after which they would travel for the Zayomi contract, and Laxus wanted to fix everything. Another thing that boosted his confidence was the fact that Bowman assured him that Darwin had been taken care of, and he would not be going on with the lawsuit anymore.“How did you do it?” Laxus had asked, believing Bowman completely.“That is not something you should worry yourself about. All you need to do is get everything set from your own end; you are not going to be facing any hindrances or adversity,” Bowman had assured him.Bowman never told Laxus how he went about these things, and it made Laxus worried and surprised, especially being that it involved someone as powerful and controlling as Darwin, but at the same time
A Firm Decision
The first thing Laxus did in the morning after his routine of going about and checking around was to call Bridget into his office.“Sir, you have a meeting by…” Bridget started, but Laxus stopped her immediately.“I didn’t call you so that you could read my schedule to me, Bridget, and for today, you can simply send it to my mail and set a reminder so that I will get it from here,” Laxus said.He could not even bring himself to be as friendly as he was with Bridget; maybe he would be after he was done addressing the issue, but he wanted to get it done and over with.Bridget seemed surprised, because Laxus had never been this way towards her. She also noticed that he was somewhat cold towards her when he arrived at work this morning. His cordiality just seemed too formal and stiff.“Have I done something wrong, sir?” Bridget asked, her heart skipping a bit.“Have you booked the flight for this week that I asked you to?” Laxus asked, even though it wasn’t exactly what he wanted to talk
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
