Rise Of The Rightful Heir Not The Plan!
Darwin had been able to send Linnie away regardless of how he did it. He had never cared how he treated Linnie, and in fact, the harsher, the better for someone like her.The issue now was what the detective was doing in his office when he was desperately waiting for Luther to return from his assignment.“I asked what you are doing here,” Darwin said rather harshly, but the truth was that he was not in the mood to play nice with anyone, because what he was bothered about was way greater and more serious than anyone’s feelings.If anything went wrong, they were all doomed.With how Luther was even delaying, Darwin was beginning to think that he had made a mistake asking Luther to handle the information that Linnie brought to him. Luther was supposed to be here about thirty minutes ago, and it disturbed Darwin greatly.“I should have handled it myself,” Darwin had been telling himself this since he began worrying about Luther’s delayed return. “Luther is too chicken-hearted and inexperi
Rise Of The Rightful Heir Time For A Few Truths
Bowman had been able to take Laxus away from the gigantic mansion back to his own mansion. Laxus still seemed shaky, but then again, he was less afraid now that Bowman and a host of other people were close to him.“Dragon will mobilize some bodyguards to join the security guard to keep watch over this mansion until we get to the bottom of this,” Bowman had said before they left. “None of this must get to the media, otherwise you all will be punished and fired,” Bowman had threatened.According to the whole story, the only persons who knew about this now was Laxus, his drivers and bodyguards, the security guard, and Bowman’s drivers and bodyguards, so that meant that he would know exactly who leaked the news if the story got out there…except, of course, whoever was responsible for this decided to sell the news to blogs.First of all, no one knew that Laxus was connected to the almighty gigantic mansion that the entire city knew about, and the more it stayed that way for now, the better
Rise Of The Rightful Heir Adamantly Ignorant
Laxus was surprised at what Bowman just told him. He had no clue about it, and it made him shocked. “So someone tried to kill him?” Laxus asked.“Twice now,” Bowman answered carefully. He knew how important, crucial, and fragile this moment was for Laxus, and he did not want to say things in a way that would leave Laxus triggered, even though Laxus had been staying in the dark for way too long.“Why didn’t I hear of this?” Laxus asked, more stunned, then he shook his head at himself; of course he would not be aware of it because after the death of his grandmother, he stopped keeping in touch, and Barrister Dickson on the other hand, never reached out.“A lot of things have been happening,” Bowman said.He exchanged looks with Dragon and they both shared a message between themselves without Laxus getting a hang of it; that was how close and coded Bowman and Dragon operated. In a crowd, they could identify with themselves easily and communicate without actually talking. Sitting in fron
Rise Of The Rightful Heir Two Pairs Of Good News
Linnie could not stop fuming at how Darwin discarded her like a piece of used tissue. It wasn’t new, but it didn’t mean that it would not hurt Linnie severely, especially when she was doing everything she could to get Darwin to see her, but each time she thought that she had done it, Darwin would treat her worse than the previous time and let her know that she was still unworthy.“What does the old bastard want?” Linnie asked herself as she paced about in her bedroom.She was so enraged and embittered that she did not even know what to do. “I should not have gone to him,” Linnie told herself. “I should have handled things myself. This would have been my opportunity to get close to Laxus again, but then I messed it up by going to Darwin instead…the spiteful old hag!” Linnie cursed.She genuinely wished that she could say those exact words to Darwin’s face. Deep down, Linnie could not wait to spit in Darwin’s face and say all the words that were embedded in her heart against it. She kn
Rise Of The Rightful Heir What The Heart Prefers
Luther lingered for a while after work. He had been doing that for a while now, and the good thing about it was that no one could ask him questions, because he was also the boss, even though not officially, but everyone knew that he was next in line to his father.“Oh well, now that that ended well, I can do what I have in mind,” Luther said to himself.He had a plan earlier before his father summoned him and gave him a task that almost seemed impossible, but Luther had done it, even though it wasn’t what his father had initially expected of him. “Make sure that we never have to worry about Laxus again,” were the exact words of Darwin to Luther hours earlier. “Or do I need to handle it myself?” He had asked.Luther was not as stupid as everyone took him to be; he knew exactly what his father meant by that statement, and if he had been talking about someone else, anyone at all, Luther would have simply taken a bow and allowed his father handle it the best way he deemed fit. He might h
Rise Of The Rightful Heir The Big News
Luther was like a volcano waiting to explode as he drove home in a mad rush. The drive made him more frustrated because of rush hour. A lot of people were returning from work, so there was a little bit of traffic, and Luther wished that he could climb over their heads.“Isn’t there another route that you can take?” Luther asked his driver.Sitting at the backseat made it even more frustrating. Luther wanted to take over the steering wheel and drive to his heart’s content, even though he knew that his driver was already driving fast enough, given Luther’s orders.Luther could not stop looking at the text message.He was beginning to have a migraine just staring at it. The message had come some hours ago, but Luther didn’t even bother to check his phone; he had been consumed with the deep urge and desire to go over to Abby’s and see her. So for the life of him, Luther could not understand why that message decided to catch his attention at that very moment.The very moment he regretted d

Laxus was on his way to work when Bowman called him.“Where are you?” Bowman asked.“On my way to work,” Laxus answered.He was eve surprised that Bowman was asking him that kind of question; it was a work day, and it was early in the morning, and Bowman knew that Laxus would either be at work or on his way to work at this time. He wondered why Bowman was asking.“I thought you would be taking the day off,” Bowman said with deep concern in his voice.“Why would I want to do that?” Laxus asked Bowman.He understood that Bowman was worried about him because of what happened the day before, but after staying with Bowman and sleeping it off, Laxus woke up feeling better. Besides, Laxus would not allow an attack on his life stop him from doing his job. It wasn’t even as though he was attacked at the company, so why should he be taking the day off?“You were pretty shaken yesterday, Laxus. I am astonished that you are even up already,” Bowman said.“I already slept it off, Bowman. I am good

Linnie was still in a bubbly mood that morning, so much so that she could hardly contain her joy.Her hospital appointment with Darwin and Luther to confirm her pregnancy was scheduled for this morning; in an hour’s time, actually, and Linnie was taking her time to get dressed.She still had the image of Darwin and Luther’s expression yesterday in her head. Darwin had obviously been pleased, but her husband on the other hand, had seemed as though something horrible had just happened to him. Linnie was overjoyed, because it was obvious now that Luther never wanted her to get pregnant so that he could be taunting her for the rest of his life, and also have a reason to kick her out of the Kinkaid family, and she was just happy that again, she had been able to disappoint him.It was even preposterous that he would accuse her of not getting pregnant when they both slept in separate rooms and never had sex. Well, one thing that Luther would realize at the end of the day was that Linnie was

A Woman Worth The Trust
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
Roped In With False Identity
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
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
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
