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

“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

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

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
