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
Rise Of The Rightful Heir Implications
“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
Rise Of The Rightful Heir The Unknown Son
Laxus stayed in cell, boiling with anger and rage. He could not believe that a man like him was in cell. This was the first time that Laxus was ever being in the cell, and the worst part was that it was based on a false accusation.He never assaulted or stole from Linnie.“Can I see anyone?” Laxus asked the cop who came to speak with an inmate in the other cell. “You cannot just keep me holed up here without my lawyer!” Laxus began to raise his voice in frustration when he was ignored.He belonged to a powerful and influential family in the country, and it was just wrong that he was being treated like a common criminal. Even thought Laxus had left home and never looked back, he still should not be treated this way, especially when it was even on wrong accusations. The cop left without saying a word and Laxus felt as though he could lift up the bars in the cell and set himself free from it. Laxus began to think about his life and predicament. He should have known that showing up in his
Rise Of The Rightful Heir A Setup
Detective George stared at Laxus and remembered the picture of him that Darwin had shown him. The picture hadn’t done Laxus any justice, because Detective George realized that Laxus was more good looking than that picture. Again, he noticed the distinct features that Laxus had that were missing in Luther, like the color of their eyes, and hairs, and even their noses. But still, he could not stop wondering why Darwin would want to “punish” his own son, but whatever the case may be, he would simply do his job and get his raise that was long due.“I have a right to demand a lawyer before granting an interrogation,” Laxus told the detective. Detective George nodded; damn, Laxus was good.The detective had known that Laxus was good even though he had fidgeted at first, making him suspicious, but then again, he was speaking to a Kinkaid, so he did not expect Laxus to be anything less than brilliant even though he was no longer associating himself with the Kinkaid family.“Yes, you do, but
Rise Of The Rightful Heir Twice Bitten
Laxus never imagined in his wildest dream that he would be spending the night in a cell, but as he laid his head on his bed in his cell room, he pondered about his life.Whether or not he was innocent, having a criminal or jail record would hinder him from getting a job. He wasn’t even sure that Mr. Henry would want to still keep him hired after all that had happened.“What am I going to do?” Laxus thought deeply as he asked himself.The words of his father, “You will have to pay for damages, Laxus, and no one will be able to save you,” just kept ringing in Laxus’s head, and he realized dreadfully that Darwin was right. Laxus could not think of anyone that he could possibly call to get him out of here. After his father left, he had been taken back into the cell without further interrogation, and now, it was almost midnight.Tears flowed down Laxus’s cheeks in regret.What Laxus was being regretful for, he could not tell. Maybe he should not have walked out on his family. Maybe he shou
Rise Of The Rightful Heir His Savior
“What did you just say?” Laxus turned and asked Linnie.She had a smirk on her face that Laxus wished he could wipe off. The words that came out of Linnie’s mouth was shocking, and at the same time, could put him away forever, even though he might already be in that situation.“I thought you didn’t want to speak to me,” Linnie said sarcastically. “I still don’t want to speak with you, Linnie,” Laxus said firmly and he meant it. Looking at Linnie now and recalling that beautiful, young, and innocent girl who had gracefully returned his belongings and he had fallen for at first sight, he wondered what happened to her, because all Laxus could see in front of him was an evil woman draped in expensive silk clothes.“Even with this information that is on the tip of my tongue?” Linnie teased.Laxus ground his teeth in annoyance, and he wondered why he could not stay completely away from his family. The reason he decided to go very far away from them was because he did not want to have anyt

She Calls The Shots Now
Linnie arrived at the hospital just in time for Darwin to receive visitors. Nevertheless, no one would have been able to stop her from seeing him anyway.This was a golden opportunity that had fallen into Linnie’s laps, and she would not take it for granted.Before going over to Darwin’s ward, she visited his doctor first. Linnie was smart enough to know that Darwin’s condition could have worsened or gotten better, so she needed to know before facing him. However, she sincerely hoped that it had gotten worse.Her knee was still hurting, causing her to limp, but Linnie did not care about that. As long as she could walk around with it with less pain, she could manage.“His condition is not going to get better,” the doctor told Linnie who pretended to be the most caring and loving and concerned daughter-in-law in the universe. “He might want to try other doctors abroad, which I would even suggest, but he is going to get the same result,” he added.“So he is never going to walk on his fee
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
