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

“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
Rise Of The Rightful Heir Unfair
For a moment, Laxus just stood there, struggling between the feeling of relief and surprise.“Are you going to get in?” Bowman asked Laxus when Laxus stood without moving.Laxus hadn’t thought that he would not only be getting released, but he would also be getting a free ride back to his apartment. Heck, he hadn’t even thought that he would be getting released by Bowman, the one man he had vowed to stay away from. Laxus had thought deeply about who could have possibly wanted to set him free, and not once did his mind go to Bowman.Well, if Bowman had saved him from jail and those cruel bullies, riding in his car was something Laxus could certainly do. At least, this time around, he wasn’t using his tough-looking bodyguard to intimidate him.Laxus went into Bowman’s car and they drove off.“Thank you,” Laxus eventually said after a while, and he meant it from the depth of his heart, because if it wasn’t for Bowman, he would have rotted in jail and no one would have saved him, not even

Linnie walked downstairs with her heels clicking against the marble tiles in a rhythm. Again, she found Luther having breakfast, but this time around, she decided to ignore him completely; she had somewhere important she needed to be.“Where are you going so early?” Luther asked when Linnie walked past him, headed for the door.Linnie wanted to ignore him as she had done at first, but she decided that it was best she responded to him, especially after ruining her mission last night with his bloody call. “I am going to do what you are supposed to be doing,” Linnie said to him.Luther grew upset instantly. He abandoned his food and got up immediately, and that was when Linnie realized that he was fully dressed for work. She did not even pay attention to what he was wearing, because she was already used to seeing him lazy about almost every morning on a full meal.“And what the fuck is that supposed to mean?” Luther asked.Linnie was surprised at Luther’s fury, but she was not afraid; s

“How the hell did he get released from prison?!” Darwin was raising the roof in his officer.Luther and Linnie sat down in the office as well. Luther watched his father vibrate, and deep down, he was happy and relieved. He wasn’t feeling that way because Laxus got released; he felt that way because Linnie went there right after their argument at home only to be told that Laxus had been released that morning.Darwin paced about, trying to get in touch with Detective George.Meanwhile, Linnie felt nothing short of embarrassment and rage. She knew that Luther was happy that she could not finish what she started, and it really hurt her, because she thought that she had everything under control. When Linnie had arrived at the station and was informed that Laxus had just been released a few minutes ago, she had almost passed out in shock.“What am I going to say to Darwin?” Linnie had asked herself in agitation.This was the golden opportunity she had to get Darwin to start including her i
Rise Of The Rightful Heir What's The Name?
The proud smile that Darwin gave to Luther was unmistakable, making Linnie almost burst in annoyance. She wished in that moment that she was the one who had come up with that brilliant idea and not Luther.“Now that Linnie has gone to spoil things for us,” Luther continued. It just felt good to always drag Linnie’s failure into the discussion, because not only would it rile her up, it would prevent her from getting that soft spot she had been desperately trying to obtain from his father.The words that he and Linnie exchanged that morning at the house was still nagging at him. Luther was not keen about the Kinkaid company; he had other desires, and as long as he continued to enjoy the benefits of being a Kinkaid son, and also, the returns from the company. However, he had not been awarded that luxury, because his father continued to insist that he become a part of the company.“I did not spoil anything for us!” Linnie jumped in, desperate to defend herself, and Luther smiled callously
Rise Of The Rightful Heir No More!
Laxus could not stop thinking about his conversation with Bowman. Truly, he had thought that he could walk away and live in peace, but it was obvious now that no matter what, his family would use their influence and powers to fight him.“I have left the company and family name; why can’t they leave me alone?” Laxus asked himself in agony.He had spent the entire night after Bowman left, but he had the unwavering feeling that this would not be the end of the battle. If they could try to set him up once even after leaving, they would definitely try to do it again, and Laxus could not just wait idly by for them to come to him and destroy him. Laxus remembered the tarot reader at Bowman’s mansion and what she had said about him. At that time, it had been scary, and Laxus hadn’t wanted to hear anything about it, but now, he realized that he was in deep danger.”And you must fight them back, Laxus.”Those were the words of Bowman, and they could not stop racing in his mind. He could not sto

Marry Me
Laxus did not waste time after his lengthy discussion with Bowman whom he now greatly regarded, and as Bowman even gave his consent, Laxus didn’t hold back.He left his office and went to meet Nessy at the hamburger store. The hamburger store launching was the next day, after which they would travel for the Zayomi contract, and Laxus wanted to fix everything. Another thing that boosted his confidence was the fact that Bowman assured him that Darwin had been taken care of, and he would not be going on with the lawsuit anymore.“How did you do it?” Laxus had asked, believing Bowman completely.“That is not something you should worry yourself about. All you need to do is get everything set from your own end; you are not going to be facing any hindrances or adversity,” Bowman had assured him.Bowman never told Laxus how he went about these things, and it made Laxus worried and surprised, especially being that it involved someone as powerful and controlling as Darwin, but at the same time
A Firm Decision
The first thing Laxus did in the morning after his routine of going about and checking around was to call Bridget into his office.“Sir, you have a meeting by…” Bridget started, but Laxus stopped her immediately.“I didn’t call you so that you could read my schedule to me, Bridget, and for today, you can simply send it to my mail and set a reminder so that I will get it from here,” Laxus said.He could not even bring himself to be as friendly as he was with Bridget; maybe he would be after he was done addressing the issue, but he wanted to get it done and over with.Bridget seemed surprised, because Laxus had never been this way towards her. She also noticed that he was somewhat cold towards her when he arrived at work this morning. His cordiality just seemed too formal and stiff.“Have I done something wrong, sir?” Bridget asked, her heart skipping a bit.“Have you booked the flight for this week that I asked you to?” Laxus asked, even though it wasn’t exactly what he wanted to talk
Abrupt Change Of Mind
Linnie could hardly make out what happened the night before. Even when she had managed to get home and tried to tall to Luther, which was obviously pointless because he was angry as hell over what Linnie knew nothing about, it yielded to nothing.“Something is wrong,” Linnie kept telling herself all night.First of all, why did Darwin ask his convoy to leave without him? He obviously wanted to deceive people into thinking that he had left, but all for what? Linnie’s suspicions have been confirmed; he was definitely hiding something in his office.Then she remembered the box that was snatched from Laxus. The one the detective told her that Luther handed over to his father.“He is hiding that box in his office,” Linnie pondered to herself, alone in her bedroom all night.She did not sleep a wink at all, because after realizing that Darwin had to be hiding the box in his office, and also telling herself that she would do anything to find out about it, Linnie then began to think about the
Final Warning
Darwin put the box on his desk and looked at it for some minutes. He just stared at it, allowing his mind to go blank for some seconds. Till now, he had not been able to open it. He had thought of giving it to a blacksmith to break the locks so just that he could see what was in it that the bloody old woman kept hidden from everyone, but then again, Darwin might get caught in the process. Besides, there was no reason to hurry up with it, especially now that his hands were full with other important things, like finding ways to bring Laxus down. He had all the time in the world to open it. The only persons that knew that the box was with him were Luther and Detective George, and he trusted them to keep their mouths shut.And he was the only one who knew that the box was in this very building and in his office.Darwin had contemplated carrying it to his house, but he was always having whores over, and as such, he did not want to take the risk of any of them snooping around. This was als
A Brother's Warning Visit
It had been a long day for Laxus, but one thing he was grateful for was that he had been able to warn Linnie off. Nevertheless, he had also instructed one of bodyguards to hang around Nessy’s apartment just in case Linnie tried to be stubborn, because she was not to be trusted. He had given the bodyguard a firm instruction to not only prevent anyone strange from gaining access into the apartment, but also informing him immediately. Laxus would do anything to keep Nessy safe.Albeit, Nessy was not aware of the bodyguard arrangement.Laxus didn’t get the chance to go back to the office and speak to Bridget about what Nessy said about her, but he could always do that the next day. For now, Laxus wanted to just have his dinner and rest fully. However, that seemed impossible when Laxus got the alarm; someone new had approached his gate.Laxus called his security instantly.“Who is that?” Laxus asked.“He says his name is Luther Kinkaid, sir,” his security answered, taking Laxus aback.“Are
The Meet-Up
Laxus waited for Linnie at the location he sent to her. It was a private place, and because of his standing in the city, he was assured of privacy.Laxus would not have demanded for privacy in this manner, but he needed to address and correct things. He also knew that he should have just gone about this the legal way, but judging by Darwin’s lawsuit threat, if he went right ahead with legal restriction orders, they might twist the narrative and say that Laxus was only doing it because of what he was being accused of, and knowing how gullible the public were, they would buy it hook, line, and sinker.Laxus knew without a doubt that Linnie would show up and show he waited for her patiently, and he was right; Linnie walked right in a couple of minutes later. She had a smile on her face, but as Laxus set his eyes on her, his stomach recoiled in anger.“Have you ordered something for me? You have always known what I like and gotten it correctly,” Linnie said sweetly.Laxus was only having
Still Getting The Shitty Treatment
Darwin, Luther, and Linnie, along with the other members of the board spent ample time having a meeting in the conference room where Luther made some presentations as well as Linnie.One thing Linnie observed was how well Luther presented the assignment given to him.Linnie knew her husband. First of all, regardless of the fact that he now showed up at the company every day without fail, he did not really give a shit about Kinkaid Distillery Company. In fact, he was now extremely showing signs of dedication and commitment simply because she had been hired. Secondly, he was not that smart. If Laxus had done the presentation, Linnie would have been wowed by the excellence, but not Luther Kinkaid.Everyone was impressed, but Linnie was skeptical.“Well, the meeting is over now,” Darwin began after all said and done. “Everyone should please take their jobs seriously and ensure that we are on board. This company must be ranked as the best distillery company in the city, and no other compan
Keep Him In The Dark
“What are you going to do about what the doctor has told you?” Dragon asked Bowman as they drove back to his mansion.It was settled now that Laxus would make quick and discreet arrangements for Barrister Dickson to be flown out of the country and attended to properly.“Laxus is in trouble,” Bowman said instead, pretending to not have heard Dragon. “He is being dragged for something that he is innocent about, and Darwin is doing this to tarnish his image and hard work,” Bowman added.It was obvious that he was trying to avoid the topic, but Dragon was not about to let Bowman get away with this one. When Bowman had gone into the Doctor’s office, Dragon had eavesdropped. He wasn’t usually a man to do something like that, but with the way Bowman dismissed Laxus and spoke to the doctor, even with the way they had gone into his office, Dragon was certain that something was off.More importantly, Dragon was worried about Bowman.He had noticed some changes in Bowman recently even though he
Horrified
Nessy immediately shook her head the moment the thought came; it was totally wrong of her to come to such a conclusion. Besides, her own father also gave her away to a total stranger, and up till this very moment, neither of her parents had made any attempt to find or reach Nessy.“I am sorry you had to go through all that,” Nessy said, and she meant it.She knew exactly what it felt like to be betrayed and hurt by people you loved and cherished, especially family members.“There is no need for you to feel sorry for me,” Laxus said tightly. “I do not regret anything that has happened in the past, because it has helped me become who I am today,” Laxus added.Nessy nodded in agreement. She could tell that the entire situation was still affecting Laxus, whether or not he liked to admit it. One thing that Nessy knew for sure was that if anyone was truly over their past, they would not be angry and hurt when the conversation was brought up.“And I didn’t tell you any of this so that you wo
