Rise Of The Rightful Heir Brothers At Odds
Laxus froze in his position.What was his brother doing at the restaurant where he worked? What was his brother doing in Las Vegas?""He was pretty impressed, and he wanted to see the chef making the hamburger. You might get a huge tip, you know.""Laxus heard a voice behind him whisper. Luther was busy with his iPad while he waited, so his head was bent low. Laxus turned and discovered that it was Nessy that was whispering words into his ear. He released a tight smile, because he did not want Nessy to grow suspicious.She seemed like a really smart person, because the first time she witnessed an altercation between Laxus and Drake, she had immediately sensed that something was going on between them, so he needed to make an appearance before she began to ask funny questions.""He seemed like a very wealthy person, Laxus. Like, he basically reeks of wealth and affluence,"" Nessy praised Luther.Laxus’s jaw tightened in annoyance and stark jealousy. He did not realize that hearing someo
Rise Of The Rightful Heir Leave Her Alone
Laxus wiped the kitchen counter with anger and vigor. “Argh!” he growled in annoyance.This was the fifth time that Laxus was wiping the kitchen counter, and it was already as shiny as a diamond, but he still continued to wipe it clean as though it was the first time. Laxus had cleaned the entire kitchen sparkling clean all by himself without waiting for the restaurant cleaner to do it, and all because he was freaking upset.“Damn it!” Laxus’s voice was louder and more painful this time around. The sound of his voice echoed all around the restaurant, as well as his pain and pain. Tears gathered in Laxus’s eyes, and before he could even realize it, they began to fall, and Laxus let them drop. As they dropped on the counter, he wiped them away with vigor and strength. At least now, he had something to actually wipe off the counter.The restaurant closed up completely about an hour ago, and all the staff signed off nearly forty-five minutes ago. Even Mr. Henry himself had closed up and
Rise Of The Rightful Heir A Long Night
After Drake stalked off, Laxus turned to leave. He still hadn’t forgotten his own pains, predicament and troubles. Also, he still hadn’t forgotten that the same Nessy had been drooling and gushing over his half-brother, but as he turned to walk away, he heard Nessy whimpering.Groaning internally and in frustration, Laxus turned and saw that Nessy was visibly shaking. Laxus would have thought that she was cold, after all the weather was chilly, but it was not enough to cause an adult to shiver, especially one like Nessy who wore a jacket as thick as his.“What are you doing here at this time of the night and with Drake?” Laxus’s voice was gruff and hostile, but instead of Nessy answering his question, she burst into tears.“Oh God, not tonight,” Laxus grumbled to himself. He had just finished shedding his own ocean of tears, and he was not about to watch someone else do theirs. Besides, one thing Laxus could not stand was watching a woman cry. It was one of his greatest weaknesses; on
Rise Of The Rightful Heir A Stubborn Guest
As soon as they began to walk towards Laxus’s apartment, he began to regret his decision. A lot of things could go wrong; as if a lot of things were not already going wrong.They walked to Laxus’s apartment in silence. When they arrived at his front door some minutes later, their boots had already gathered some snow that was already beginning to fall.“We would have frozen out there waiting for a taxi,” Nessy said. She sounded like her old self; the Nessy Laxus knew.Laxus ignored her completely. He opened the door with his key and urged her to get into the house, but Nessy stood still without moving.""Come on, I am really not down for any attitude tonight. You agreed to spend the night at my apartment for your own safety, didn’t you?"" Laxus’s tone was harsh and visibly upset. He was also impatient, and he did not intend to hold out his door for long, because he would hate to invite the cold into his small apartment.Then it dawned on Laxus that, perhaps, Nessy had thought that he s
Rise Of The Rightful Heir Lying His Way Out
“Are you okay?” Nessy asked, shocked at Laxus’s reaction to her question.Laxus quickly got over his initial shock and he bent low and picked up the spoon that had fallen to the ground. He did not expect to be asked that question, considering the fact that he was going over and beyond to keep his identity as a Kinkaid private. First of all, this was the exact reason he did not want to have anyone in his space. Laxus deliberately did not make any friends since he moved down here, because he was trying to avoid situations like this, and if Nessy hadn’t been stranded, he would never have invited her to his apartment. Secondly, Laxus did not realize that he still had a pen from the family company with him. He guessed that was the only thing of the Kinkaid clan that he had with him. Recalling now, the Kinkaid Distillery company pen had always been in his pocket every single day right from the time he started using pen to write when he was a kid, so it was only natural that he would have ha
Rise Of The Rightful Heir Stolen Recipe
As Laxus laid on his couch that night while Nessy slept on his small bed, he could not stop thinking about what Nessy had said.“…someone really special and close to my heart used to work for them.”Was it a relative or a lover? Laxus could not tell, and it troubled him greatly. He could not find sleep, and he could not stop thinking about it either. He earnestly wanted to find what employee of the Kinkaid company the person was, but Laxus knew that asking those questions might put him in the light of things, which he didn’t want. With only a few hours that he had spent alone with Nessy, he already knew that she was not just a chatty and merry-go-round kind of girl. She was also smart, and she would definitely figure out something. Also, tears had gathered in her eyes, and since Laxus could not stand a crying woman, he lad let the matter die.Still, Laxus wanted to know by every means possible.He could not guarantee that and Nessy would be on speaking terms now that he had helped her
Rise Of The Rightful Heir Laid Off
It took Laxus some time to be able to get over his shock.“Excuse me sir, but that is a blatant lie!” Laxus said defensively.The recipe he had been using to make hamburgers that had been making customers troop into the restaurant was his grandmother’s secret recipe which Laxus had inherited from her when she died. Often times, when he was much younger, he usually spent time with his grandmother at the Kinkaid family mansion. What a lot of people didn’t know was that Laxus’s maternal grandmother was the head behind the Kinkaid Distillery company. She had inherited it from her father who didn’t live long enough to build the company to its peak, and out of love, had allowed her husband to be the face of the company while she stayed at home to take care of their two daughters, Laxus’s mother and her younger sister, while still brainstorming for the company.As the business grew and expanded over the years, what people didn’t know was that it was divided into two companies; the Kinkaid Di
Rise Of The Rightful Heir The Big Offer
“Who are you, and why would you ask me to get into your car just like that?” Laxus asked, his voice almost quivering in fear.He looked around, hoping to see passersby like him who could help him, but mysteriously, Laxus was the only one walking the pedestrian lane that morning, or maybe he had been the only one, but he didn’t realize it until now. Laxus had no idea who this person was or who had sent him, and he was already out here in the street long enough to know how dangerous and deadly it could be. When he was still under the wealth and protection of the Kinkaid family name, Laxus always moved with drivers and bodyguards, so he never knew how dangerous and cold the outside world was.“Don’t be stubborn,” the bodyguard warned sternly.He glared at Laxus, and Laxus feared for his life instantly. He was alone on this path, and it was still very early; if he proved stubborn, he could get killed right here and his body dumped without mercy. Laxus was going through so much, but the la

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
The Perfect Alibi
Linnie stood above Luther and stared at him for some minutes. He was still breathing, so she was certain that he had merely passed out; it must have been the effect of the alcohol in his system.“Bastard,” Linnie cussed him, resisting the urge to actually spit on his face.As she looked at him, she realized that she hated Luther Kinkaid with passion. If she wasn’t mindful of what laid at stake, she might have succumbed to the temptation of choking him and watching him die. This was literally the first time that Linnie was having this strong urge to kill, and she could not tell if it was as a result of the hatred she had for Luther or what she had experienced at Darwin’s office a few hours ago.“Who is helpless now?” Linnie asked the unconscious Luther hatefully.Luther stayed on the ground without moving, and the only thing that signified that he was still alive was the rising and falling of his beating chest. He was just like his father, Darwin, who was probably still lying just like
