Rise Of The Rightful Heir Not Fast Enough
Darwin and Luther waited for Detective George in Darwin’s office. They had been able to find out the person who sent an anonymous tip to the cops stating that he had viable evidence against Laxus and knew exactly what happened to Gary, and as usual, Darwin had swung into action.Darwin wanted that information first, because now, he did not want to only have Laxus arrested, and that was what the cops would do if they eventually got hold of that testimony and evidence before him. initially, that was what Darwin had wanted, so that Laxus would be ruined, but with the kind of backing that Laxus now had, Darwin knew that Laxus would not spend more than two hours in jail even after getting arrested.What Darwin wanted was to get hold of the information, use it to blackmail and threaten Laxus personally, without the presence of his new god, into surrendering all that he had been given and disappear from limelight forever.“How much longer are we going to wait for Detective George to bring th

Laxus had an amazing time making hamburgers. To his own surprise, he made over twenty five hamburgers, and even when he was done, he was not slightly exhausted.His chef joined him at a point in checking the oven to ensure that they weren’t getting overly baked, and they also shared short conversations, making the whole process worthwhile for Laxus. Before now, he might not have fancied the idea of acquainting himself with any of the domestic servants, but being that he had once being a server under someone, Laxus now looked at everyone the same way. Also, the chef’s presence made Laxus feel like his grandmother was right there in the kitchen with him.After that, Laxus asked the chef to distribute the hamburgers to his domestic workers, and when she was done, she attested that there were still some hamburgers left, and the next thing that came to Laxus’s mind was to send some to Bowman.“Please, have them well wrapped up for me,” Laxus told the chef.She did, and Laxus gave his driv

Laxus stared at the sign for some minutes, as though he could not believe what he was seeing. Permanently closed? How was that even possible? What happened?After Laxus stopped working at the restaurant, he simply stopping thinking about it. Why wouldn’t he anyway? He now had a multi-billion dollars company to handle and worry about. After Laxus was tired of staring at the sign, and it became crystal clear to him that the sign meant that it was the officers of the law that banned it, he turned and went into his car, wondering what could have happened.Laxus’s major dilemma was how to get in touch with Nessy.He had no clue where Mr. Henry lived, and he never communicated with the other people who worked at the restaurant at that time to even know where any of them lived, so where would he find Nessy? Laxus became really bothered and concerned. Originally, he should have just shrugged it off and scouted for someone else, but deep down, Laxus knew that Nessy was the right candidate for
Rise Of The Rightful Heir When Love Is Taken
Laxus stepped into his father's study, his confusion clear. Darwin Kinkaid stood by the large oak desk, his expression unreadable."Father, why did you call me here?" Laxus asked.Darwin looked at him with a stern gaze. ""You're here because there's a change in plans. Linne will marry Luther next week.""Laxus stared at his father, not sure if he had heard him correctly. ""What? That can't be true. Linne and I are supposed to marry soon."""It is true," Darwin replied coldly. "It's been decided."Laxus’s hands clenched into fists. ""But I love her. This isn’t fair!"""Fairness has nothing to do with it," Darwin said, his tone firm. "This is what needs to happen."Laxus shook his head in disbelief. ""You can't just order this. We were supposed to be married. Why would you do this to me?"""This isn't up for debate, Laxus," Darwin replied. "It’s final."Laxus’s voice wavered with frustration. ""You can’t just take away my future like this. Linne is mine!""Darwin’s eyes narrowed. ""This
Rise Of The Rightful Heir No Longer A Kinkaid
Laxus walked into a bar, feeling broken. He slumped onto a barstool. ""My strongest drink,"" he muttered.The bartender handed him a bottle, and Laxus drank straight from it, taking large gulps."What’s a Kinkaid doing here?" a voice taunted behind him.Laxus ignored it, focusing on his drink."Oh wait, he’s not really a Kinkaid," the voice mocked again, followed by laughter.Laxus snapped. He smashed the bottle into the man’s face, and a brawl erupted. Fueled by anger and alcohol, Laxus lashed out at anyone who got in his way.Eventually, he stumbled out of the bar, bloodied but determined. He wasn’t going to take any more abuse.He got into his car and drove straight into the bar, crashing through the front.The bar was rendered into ruins as Laxus struggled to exit the car, and just as he managed to do just that, the car exploded, sending him flying across the street. Laxus heard voices and sirens, which made him struggle to open his eyes. He adjusted to the bright light as his vi
Rise Of The Rightful Heir A Kinkaid In Disguise
Laxus arrived in Las Vegas, hoping for a fresh start. He had left the Kinkaid mansion with nothing but the clothes on his back. As expected, all his accounts linked to the Kinkaids were frozen, a clear move by his father. Despite having earned the money legally, it didn't matter because of the Kinkaid name attached to them. His father was likely trying to show him that he couldn’t survive without the family’s help.Fortunately, Laxus had a small amount stashed away in a separate account under a different name. It wasn't much compared to his frozen accounts, but it was enough to rent a modest apartment, buy a few clothes, and cover basic meals for a week. The reality hit hard. He needed a job fast, or he’d end up on the streets.He laughed bitterly at the irony. Just days ago, he had more than enough to eat, even if he wasn’t treated well. Now, he was starting from scratch, determined to make it on his own.Laxus hurried through the crowded streets, holding his coat over his head to sh
Rise Of The Rightful Heir Drake's Ultimatum
Laxus froze, his heart pounding. “What are you talking about, Drake?”“Don’t play dumb,” Drake sneered. ""You’ve got everyone fooled, but not me. You’re a Kinkaid. You think you can hide that?""Laxus swallowed hard, but before he could respond, Drake continued. ""You’re going to quit this job. Walk away, or I’ll make sure everyone knows the truth.""Fear gripped Laxus. His mind flashed to the life he had built, the normalcy he had fought so hard to maintain. ""You don’t have to do this, Drake. We can talk—""“There’s nothing to talk about,” Drake interrupted. “Either you quit, or your little secret becomes public knowledge.”Laxus clenched his fists, anger mixing with fear. But he knew Drake wasn’t bluffing. He had no choice. ""Fine. I’ll quit.”Drake smirked, satisfied. ""Good. I want your resignation on my dad’s desk by tomorrow morning.""Laxus spent the night wrestling with the decision. "There's no other way..." The next morning, Laxus woke up late. "It's almost 9 a.m.!" he pan
Rise Of The Rightful Heir Kitchen Rivalry
Laxus left Henry’s office with a relieved smile. He convinced Henry to let him keep the job a little longer, giving him more time to find something else. The day had been long, and he returned to the kitchen, focusing on the last meal orders. As he stirred a pot, his mind drifted to the past few days. He tried to forget about Linnie, but it wasn’t easy.Suddenly, he heard someone grumbling nearby. He looked over and saw the new girl, Nessy, clumsily chopping onions with blood dripping from her finger. She kept cutting, unaware of the injury. Laxus realized she wasn’t as experienced as she had claimed. He sighed and turned back to his work, adding the final touches to the meal.Cooking had always been an escape for him. Back home, he had secretly taken cooking classes behind his father’s back. His father had always looked down on his love for the kitchen, insisting Laxus follow in the family business. Now, here he was, far from home, trying to prove he could make something of himself w

Revived Passion
Laxus stayed in his bedroom all night and even until the morning, and even after freshening up, he still remained in his bedroom.He couldn’t even go to the company knowing what the blogs were saying and the lawsuit against him. Over the night, Laxus contemplated going to Darwin and confronting him, but he ended up changing his mind before morning. First of all, he had no desire to set his eyes on Darwin, Luther, or even Linnie, and so far, he had been lucky, so he would not set a trap for himself by going to them. Besides, Bowman already assured Laxus that he would take care of it, and Laxus had come to trust Bowman wholeheartedly and completely.However, as Laxus stayed in his bedroom, he was bored already, even though it was still morning.“What would I do with myself now?” Laxus asked himself.He felt like an invalid just staying indoors and doing nothing on a workday. Laxus wasn’t naturally a lazy man, he preferred to always work, which was why even when he pulled out of the Kin
Two Captains In A Boat
Bowman sat at the backseat in one of his cars with Dragon as his convoy drove over to Darwin’s house. “You said you never wanted to see him face to face again, except it is to kill him,” Dragon said, reminding Bowman of what he said years ago.The drive so far had been quiet, and now, they were even closer to Darwin’s house. Bowman had appreciated the silence, because it gave him time to think deeply, and he had thought that Dragon, who understood him more than anyone else, was giving him the space to do just that, but Bowman was wrong, and he almost groaned out loud when he heard Dragon speak.It was night, which was the perfect time to have whatever meeting he wanted to have with Darwin.“And I haven’t changed that,” Bowman simply said, knowing that if he did not respond to Dragon, he might keep pushing.Sometimes, Dragon could be a real pain in the butt that Bowman could not get rid of.“So we are going in there to kill him?” Dragon asked, a tinge of excitement in his voice.Bowma
Firm Declaration
Linnie had stayed locked up in her room since the doctor broke the news to not just her, but Darwin and Luther.She could still recall the look of excitement and relief on Luther’s face and the look of anger and disappointment on Darwin’s face. Linnie had never felt so humiliated and embarrassed in her entire existence before. In her defense, she had demanded for another test.Maybe Luther might have tried to swing the result, especially being the fact that he did not want Linnie to get pregnant, this was the family hospital and as such, the family doctor might lightly do whatever Luther asked him to do, and the test appointment was pre-booked before today, so Linnie had vehemently demanded for another impromptu test to be carried out on her right there and then; she knew exactly the way she was feeling.Darwin had angrily accepted, and Linnie had selected another random doctor in the hospital and of course, a different laboratory, and they all stayed right there and then so that she
It is Time
“This is preposterous and outrageous!” Laxus said, yelling at the top of his voice in Bowman’s living room.He had left the company right after Detective George served him the charge and left. Laxus was still holding the letter from the court, but he was burning with rage.“Calm down, Laxus,” Bowman said gently, trying to calm Laxus down.“How can you ask me to calm down? The lies they published on the blogs about me is bad enough, but this is just hell and it is going to ruin things!” Laxus said, still fuming and pacing while Bowman just sat still and watched Laxus vent.“You haven’t even touched your drink or sit down since you got here,” Bowman said.He was infuriated at how the whole thing turned out. He was enraged that Darwin was clearly gaining the upper hand. He had suspected that Darwin was the one who had sent someone to go after Laxus; who else would anyway? He just didn’t state his suspicions to Laxus because he wasn’t exactly sure yet, and Laxus was still blindly in the d
After The Elevating News...
Nessy, as usual, lingered after everyone had closed for the night. She used the excuse of cleaning up and arranging things just to stay longer than necessary, urging the other waitresses to leave.Nessy was turning over the tables when Mr. Henry walked up to her, ready to leave.“Nessy, you are always working so hard and diligently too,” he commended.Nessy smiled, because she knew that she was putting in all her efforts into ensuring that she did the best that she could. It was not just because she had no place to lay her head at night or because she was worried about being jobless and penniless that made her work so hard, no. Nessy was naturally a diligent and hardworking person, even when she lived with her parents and served Gary. “I do my best,” Nessy said humbly.“I have been watching you since I employed you. When you were waiting tables with the other waitresses, you were exceptional at what you did and how you attended to the customers, and when things started to go badly fo
Audacity At Its Peak
Laxus saw the look in the detective’s eyes and he decided that he was not going to condone any insolence or disrespect from him.When he worked at Mr. Henry’s restaurant was different from now. Detective George had the nerve to bully him at that time because Laxus had no money, power, and connection, but that was not the same anymore, which just happened to how the system worked, even though Laxus hated it.It was just rotten that people who were poor and helpless got treated like trash by the law, but the wealthy and famous could easily hide their evildoings and get away with breaking the law.“You don’t have an appointment,” Laxus said, his jaw tight with anger.“Come on, Laxus, I am a detective, and as such, I don’t need a permission or a bloody appointment to see anyone,” Detective George said with a coy grin playing on his lips.“I am Mr. Laxus, Detective George, and you will either accord me that respect or I will have my team of security guards throw you out. Do you even have a
