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

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
Rise Of The Rightful Heir Tussle To Win
“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

“Bowman, someone took a shot at my life last night,” Laxus told Bowman while he waited for the arrival of the agent that Bowman talked about.“You cannot be a businessman without enemies,” Bowman simply said.“But I did not have enemies or faced life threats when I worked at the Kinkaid Distillery Company,” Laxus said, pondering on what had happened.“That should tell you a lot,” Bowman said.“Hold on…does that mean that my family is the one behind this?” Laxus asked.In all honesty, he had never known antagonism and threat until he turned his back on his family. A few weeks ago, Linnie had shown up at his doorstep unannounced and he had been arrested right after that happened. Right now, Laxus could not think of anyone else that might want him harmed except his family, but would they be dangerous enough to want him dead?It was one thing to be set up by one’s own family, but murder? Laxus shuddered at the thought.“Listen, Laxus, I think you should focus more on getting your apartmen
A Lifestyle Of Dread
“Whoever you are, come out and stop hiding in the shadows,” Laxus instructed, trying to put on bravado.He was alone now, and he did not even realize until now that the bright lights illuminating the aisle leading to the hall had been turned off, so the place was slightly dark.“Who is there?” Laxus asked again as he began to look around for something that could pass as a defensive tool.He had barely spent twenty-four hours in the premises and he was already being scared by only God knows who, but the last thing Laxus wanted to do was pose as a fearsome man.“You better come out and make yourself known right now or I will call the cops on you. Don’t think that I don’t have them on speed dial,” Laxus threatened with a lie. “This is my property, and I will not allow a riffraff make a nuisance here,” he added firmly.Then Bowman stepped out of the dark and entered the hall.“Christ, Bowman!” Laxus screamed out, holding his chest and releasing the breath he did not even know that he was
Acquaintance
The party had ended and Laxus bid the last guest off as his exited the hall with his beloved wife.“Oh, damn,” Laxus said as he sat down on one of the seats in exhaustion.Since the party began, he had not had the chance to rest his feet, and now, he felt as though he could close his eyes and magically find himself on his bed. Laxus looked around the big hall and reflected on all that happened in the last three hours, and he could not help but feel a sense of exhilaration and fulfillment. At the same time, Laxus was eager to begin. He could barely wait until Monday which would begin with the rigorous task of conducting interviews and selecting his first staff members, but then again, he had the weekend to get a suitable apartment and settle into his new lifestyle.For Laxus, this was a new beginning for him.“Nice party tonight,” a female voice said, startling Laxus.Laxus turned abruptly, almost in fear, because he had thought that he was left alone and everyone had left, but as he t
A Show For Infuriation
“Damn him!” Darwin barked as he angrily flung the remote and it hit the TV squarely, causing it to crack and go off instantly just the time when Abby was captured talking to Laxus with a sweet and suggestive smile on her face by the bloggers who were reporting live.For more than two hours, Darwin, Luther and Linnie had stood rooted in their spot and watching Laxus take on the world in a launch party. The anger oozing from Darwin emanated in the entire living room and it overpowered whatever emotions Luther and Linnie might have felt watching it.“I think you have destroyed the TV, dad,” Luther said.Darwin whirled around like a wounded monster and charged at Luther. “Are you daft or were you not watching the TV?!” Darwin asked Luther angrily, droplets of saliva flying from his mouth; he was extremely furious.“Well, that is not enough to destroy the TV, is it? It didn’t do anything wrong,” Luther said flippantly, making Darwin more aggravated.Linnie was certain that Darwin would hav
That One Guest
Laxus was not given the luxury of time to dwell in his shock for long, because the cheers of people around him reminded him of where he was and his responsibility.“Bowman has tricked me; the bloody old man,” Laxus cursed under his breath.Even after all he had said and tried as much as possible to stand firmly on what he wanted, Bowman still outsmarted him. He should have known that everything was too good to be true, but Laxus could not turn around in the midst of these people and turn everything down.He just couldn’t. “Congratulations, Laxus, this is such a big feat.”“This is more than anything we have seen in Las Vegas, and we have no doubt that it will thrive under your care.”“Laxus’s Distillery Cave; sounds like a fantastic name to me!”“For a startup company, this is absolutely mind-blowing. Congratulations, Mr. Laxus.”“Cheers to this big start, Laxus, and please know that we are always available to partner with you in any way possible.”A lot of those congratulatory words
Drastic Steps
Bowman arrived at the location that Dragon was waiting for him, and as soon as Dragon noticed Bowman’s presence, he got out of his car and joined Bowman in his. Then Bowman’s driver drove off.“You left the party,” Dragon observed.“I never planned to attend it,” Bowman answered strictly.Dragon was rarely ever surprised, because most times, he always knew that moves people were about to make before they made them, even Bowman, but he did not see this one coming at all. Dragon was not offended that Bowman did not tell him about this plan; Bowman did not tell Dragon everything to begin with. He was just taken aback.“That is strange,” Dragon stated. “Isn’t it your party as well?” Dragon asked.Bowman remained quiet; his mind was on the task they were going to carry out, and in situations like these, Bowman preferred to stay quiet, because it helped him stay focus on the task at hand. Also, it helped him stay calculative even though he trusted that Dragon had already put everything in p
Name Unveiled
Laxus almost had his mouth open when he came out and he saw the caliber of people in the company’s hall.It was a large and gigantic hall with the biggest capacity that Laxus had ever seen, and it was beautifully decorated just for the occasion. “Please, let us all pay attention, because the CEO of this new company is about to make his first grand entrance,” the anchor of the party had said.Then there had been a still calmness.Laxus had stood in front of a wide curtain, not knowing what to expect, and as a result, he had been left with anticipation that rushed through his veins like adrenaline.“You can do this, Laxus,” Laxus had told himself firmly.Bowman already told him that the launching party would be aired live on the biggest and most popular TV channels and shows all over the entire country, and everyone would watch it just as it was happening. This was the biggest and hugest thing that had ever happened to Laxus. This feeling was completely new, because when he had worked
Godforsaken Interview!
“We should be ready to begin in a couple of minutes,” the interviewer, a sharp-witted, bright and cheerful, yet professional young lady said to her crew members.They were at Luther and Linnie’s matrimonial home for the couple’s interview of the year which would come with the juiciest deals they had ever gotten. Although the venue of the interview had initially been scheduled to take place at the TV station space, but it was later decided that interviewing them at the comfort of their home was better; of course, Darwin did pull a few strings to make that happen.They had been here for more than an hour now, but they were all patiently waiting for Luther and Linnie, because they knew that they were the power couple of the year, even though it was getting somewhat late.As soon as the interviewer and her crew members saw the stylists coming downstairs, they breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that it was an indication that their couple was done and they would be downstairs in a few minut
A King's Treat
Laxus did not bother much about Bowman’s absence or his conversation with the scary-looking man, because he was too engrossed with his thoughts.As Laxus looked around the wide, large, and incredibly spacious factory and all the things that Bowman said to him, he could not help but marvel.“All you should worry about is making a lifelong impression on everyone that would attend, and the world that would watch the highlight of the grand opening.”Those were Bowman’s words and they still rang in Laxus’s head like a bell. “I have a special speech to prepare for in a couple of hours,” Laxus told himself.He looked at himself and discovered how low he was looking, but then again, Bowman had said that there were already hired stylists. Everything was happening so fast and it felt like a sweet dream, and Laxus had to literally pinch himself to see if he would wake up.“So I am going to be the one responsible for building this from scratch,” Laxus talked to himself.Bowman’s time away was giv
