Rise Of The Rightful Heir Love Or Money?
Linnie continued to pace about as her mind flashed back to everything that had happened, how she had twisted fate to her advantage that took her out of the slum and the cruel and greedy hands of her uncle and his wife, and the decisions that she had taken to also change her life for the better.After she had given Laxus his wallet as though he had forgotten it and had graciously returned it, Laxus had picked an instant interest in her. Soon enough, a relationship began between them, spurred by the fact that Linnie had pretended not to have known that he was Laxus Kinkaid. Laxus had been impressed, because according to him, he had always been with women who were only with him for his money.“I find you quite interesting, and being with you makes me feel safe and comfortable. I do not have to try as much as possible to act like I am the son of a rich man, because you accepted me even before you knew who I was,” Laxus had said on the day that he had asked Linnie to be his girlfriend. “Al
Rise Of The Rightful Heir Nothing
“Please, protect me from those who would aim to hurt me as a result of Gary’s death.”Those had been Nessy’s exact words and Laxus could not stop thinking about them. Before Nessy had left his apartment the day before, she had begged him to protect her. How she ever thought that Laxus would be able to protect her, Laxus had no idea.“The boss will see you shortly,” one of the domestic workers at Bowman’s mansion informed Laxus, disrupting his thought.“Okay, thank you,” Laxus said as he shifted thoughts of Nessy and her plea away from his mind.Then he sat up straighter as he waited for Bowman. He could not fill his mind with thoughts of Nessy and whatever problems she might be having when he also had problems of his own. He never told Nessy, but he was in a more danger of rotting away if he didn’t find a way to keep their cruelty at bay. “Laxus!” Bowman called out as he walked into his living room, looking refreshed and energetic.There was just something about Bowman that proved tha
Rise Of The Rightful Heir Plunged Deeper
“You want something from me,” Laxus insisted. “There is no way you can make me believe that you want nothing from me,” Laxus faced Bowman and said, getting more agitated. It was as though he was going deeper and deeper into a hole with Bowman. “What you want from me?” Laxus questioned.“You are tense, Laxus,” Bowman said calmly.His calmness when Laxus was having a hard time mentally made Laxus even more uncomfortable. “What do you want from me?” Laxus asked more firmly. “If you insist that it is nothing, I would have to decline your offer and leave,” Laxus stated.He did not mean that, of course, because he was too desperate to turn down Bowman’s offer. Right now, more than ever before, Laxus had realized that he needed some money and power. Passing a night in cell made him realize what he was up against, but the incident with Nessy made him conclude that there was no way out of this now.Bowman stared at Laxus intently, trying to decipher the extent of Laxus’s threat, and Laxus ens
Rise Of The Rightful Heir Clip His Wings
Darwin waited until it was late in the evening before packing up to leave, including his secretary, because he did not need any interruptions.When Darwin was certain that most of his staff members had gone home, he called one of his drivers and said into the phone, “You may drive home, but leave the tinted Lexus car behind. I have a very important appointment that I need to sort out alone.”“Yes, boss,” Darwin’s driver said and ended the call. Darwin watched from his window to ensure that his drivers and bodyguards had driven out. Then he grabbed his briefcase and walked out of the office, but when he passed by Luther’s office, he was surprised to see that Luther’s office door was ajar and Luther was speaking in low tones. Darwin tried to eavesdrop into Luther’s conversation, but Luther’s voice was so low that no matter how closely Darwin glued his ears to the door, he could not hear a single word that Luther was saying.Darwin had no other choice than to open the door.Luther was s
Rise Of The Rightful Heir Delayed For Good
Laxus went home right after he stormed out of Bowman’s house. He turned the offer down, and this time around, he meant it.“I will not be used a second time,” Laxus said firmly to himself.He had given his best to the Kinkaid Distillery Company and what did he get at the end? Laxus was not stupid, and he was right to even demand for what Bowman wanted, because he knew damn well that there was no way Bowman would give him such an amount of money without desiring something in return. “I am not going to allow myself to become a tool in another’s man’s hands,” Laxus vowed to himself.First of all, he already sensed that there was something underneath Bowman’s supposed “generosity” and “care” towards him. Secondly, Bowman held a grudge against his family, and he was looking for a tool that he would use. Laxus might not know the story behind that, and he knew that his family was capable of indulging in something that was callous and evil, but he did not want to be a part of it. What Laxus
Rise Of The Rightful Heir A Dangerous Stranger
Laxus was shocked to his bones!What was Linnie doing here at this time of the night, and more importantly, how did she know that Nessy would be right here?Laxus was stunned and confused, and he would have wondered if Nessy had spoken with Linnie, because at this point, Laxus could not trust anyone and what they were incapable of doing. If she could hide her identity as someone living with Gary even to Mr. Henry, her boss, then there were things that Laxus certainly did not know about her, but then again, Laxus saw the shock and dread in Nessy’s eyes, so if she had called Linnie, she wouldn’t be this shocked.“I know your face,” Nessy said with shaky breath as she tried to remember Linnie’s face and where she had seen her. “You were at Laxus’s house the other night,” Nessy finally got Linnie’s face.Laxus stood by the corner, watching them and listening to their conversation with a beating heart. He wanted to intervene, but he stopped. To Nessy, Laxus was still a random young man who
Rise Of The Rightful Heir Missed Shot
Bowman sat at his country club sipping on his glass of vodka. It had been a long week, and he usually came here when he was seeking rest. Many people had no idea that he ran one of the biggest country clubs in Las Vegas, and he preferred to keep it that way. That way, he could come in like a random customer, sit at his private lounge and just enjoy a lone time.“Every man has his secrets,” Bowman often said.Although some are deeper and uglier than others while some are not as bad, but regardless, every man did have something they did not want to share with the world. Soon enough, Bowman’s staff brought his expensive cigar to him. He should quit, he knew this, but it was also one of the things that kept him pumped up when he was feeling a little below the mood.“Dragon is here to see you, sir,” his staff informed him.Bowman hissed; Dragon was too stubborn. Bowman had often told him not to come to the country club when he was trying to have his lone time, but Dragon never obeyed. He wa
Rise Of The Rightful Heir Indescribable Satisfaction
Linnie was awakened by the sound of her ringing tone.“Who the heck is calling at such an early hour?” Linnie grumbled grumpily. There was nothing that infuriated her more than getting her beauty sleep interrupted. It had been a tough one last night, and Linnie only got into the house and into her bed at past 4am. The night hadn’t gone as she had planned it, and Nessy had proven tougher than she had thought and expected. In fact, Linnie had had to let her go when Nessy refused to budge after hours of scrutiny, and Luther was beginning to blow up her phone again, just like the night that she had paid Laxus a visit at the police station. Anyway, she was not anywhere done with Nessy.Linnie picked up the call without checking who her caller was. “Yes, who is this?” Linnie asked harshly.“Linnie dear,” a calm female voice boomed over the receiver and Linnie knew exactly who was calling.Even in her unconsciousness, she would know that voice any day and any time. This was the voice that

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
