Rise Of The Rightful Heir Brewing Romance?
Laxus fell on his bed, exhausted like never before. He had no idea that business interviews were that draining, but he was glad that it was over now.The interviewer had tried to steer towards personal angles, but Laxus was smart enough to answer with vague answers, unlike Abby who conveniently answered most of them directly as though she was expecting the questions. It was obvious that she was confident about herself and very intelligent, and downright audacious, and any other man might have liked her, but certainly not Laxus.Even before the interview, he wasn’t attracted to Abby; Laxus had locked her heart towards that aspect of life forever, but even hanging out, or almost hanging out had made him like her less. Laxus could not even shake off how she had treated that receptionist who was nothing but nice and receptive. Today, Laxus had done his very best to avoid her, but Abby kept clinging to him, so when the interview was over, while Abby’s stylist had been doing a light touch o
Rise Of The Rightful Heir The Difference Is Clear
Linnie drove home with mixed emotions with her conversation with Bridget.The moment Laxus launched his company, Linnie was smart enough to know that he would be in need of staff, and more importantly, he would be in need of a secretary or personal assistant. While Darwin and Luther had been fuming and pacing, Linnie had been thinking strategically.“Now that Laxus has come out to limelight, I need to know exactly what is going on. The last time I visited his rented apartment, it was wretched and poorly furnished, so there is no way Laxus could have amounted to that out of the blues. I also know that he worked at small restaurant, making and selling hamburgers, and given the state of Laxus’s company, he would never have been able to save such money even in the next hundred years, so there is definitely something going on in Laxus’s life, and I need to know what it is. I need to know who Laxus’s sponsor is,” Linnie had thought deep and hard.There had to be someone in the shadows helpi
Rise Of The Rightful Heir Resurfacing
As Nessy began to work on the flour for the hamburger that morning, she could not stop thinking about the picture of Laxus and Abby Golden that Drake had forced her into seeing.She was still nursing the fact that till now, Laxus completely forgot about her, especially now that she had no place to stay. Nessy was not expecting anything from Laxus, and he did not owe her anything in particular, but with his current position, she could have made do with his help.“I really thought we were friends,” Nessy said to herself as she mixed the flour with so much pain in her heart.She could not understand why no one wanted to stay with her as a friend, and because Nessy had no friends, life were really difficult for her at the moment. Actually, life had never been fair to Nessy. She grew up with parents that never cared about her, and when her father had gotten into a bad debt with Gary, he had been more than willing to ship Nessy off to the old man to play slave just to get Gary off his back.
Rise Of The Rightful Heir The One Insignificant Person
Nessy’s heart had been beating rapidly since she got the phone call. As for the rest of the day at work, she could barely concentrate at anything. She had thought that she had gone scot free with Gary’s death, but now, her mistake crept up right away, and she had no idea what to do. He had already asked Nessy to meet him up at a secluded bar at 7pm to have a discussion, and Nessy knew that if she didn’t show up for it, he would pull through with his threats, and that would land her in jail for life.Nessy did not want to go to jail at all.The time he gave was certainly far from her closing time, but Nessy knew that this was not a person that she could play around with.“Nessy, are you okay? You have seemed nervous the entire day,” Mr. Henry asked in observation when Nessy had got into his office at 6pm to obtain permission to leave. “Did something happen with the hamburgers?” he asked further.Nessy hadn’t thought that he would notice her mood; people rarely paid attention to her an
Rise Of The Rightful Heir His Demands
Nessy’s eyes widened in shock. “What did you just say?” Nessy asked.“You heard me, Nessy. I want the entire world to know the truth,” Jeff repeated sternly.Nessy straightened up and she decided to play the game that she had been playing way before now, because unlike Mrs. Linnie Kinkaid who had been fishing for information for a while now, no one had any real evidence that would tie her to the crime.For crying out loud, Gary had been buried, and Nessy thought that her nightmare was over until Jeff’s call.“I don’t know what you are talking about,” Nessy denied.Jeff laughed sinisterly. “Listen, I did not call you here for you to deny things, because I knew that you did it,” Jeff said. Then he drew his face closer to Nessy, his smelly breath grazing her face and making her scrunch her face in disdain, and he said, “I saw you kill the old man in cold blood.”Jeff’s confidence scared Nessy. Even though Mrs. Linnie Kinkaid and the detective had forced her into saying something before w
Rise Of The Rightful Heir Tedious Access
As Nessy left the bar, she became more devastated.This issue was getting more complicated as time went on, especially when she thought that it was over. If someone like Mrs. Linnie Kinkaid got a hang of it, she would not only be joyous; she would also not hesitate a second to use it against Laxus.Not that Nessy had anything for Laxus, contrary to what everyone thought or insinuated, and not that she also held a grudge against him for not remembering her now that he was famous and popular, and even though people might feel like she should use that to bring him down, Nessy could not do that. She just wasn’t that kind of person.First of all, Laxus never touched Gary. By the time she even called Laxus, Gary was already dead, so in a way, he was innocent, but what Mrs. Linnie Kinkaid wanted and what Jeff was insisting on even though he claimed to have seen everything unfold was that Laxus was even the one who struck Gary to death.That was the testimony that Mrs. Linnie Kinkaid was exp
Rise Of The Rightful Heir The Routine Of A CEO
Laxus got dressed for the day’s work and came downstairs as early as usual, escaping his chef. Laxus knew that the woman always tried her best to wake up earlier than Laxus just so that she could prepare breakfast for him, but she always missed him, because Laxus was faster than her.Laxus wasn’t a breakfast person; he had tried to tell her this severally, but it had fallen on deaf ears.“I don’t care, you need to eat. Everyone needs food,” she had insisted firmly.Laxus had smiled fondly, because she reminded him of his grandmother who always ensured that he was well taken care of. Laxus could not thank Bowman enough for carefully selecting a chef for Laxus who cared for him as though she was his mother, even though he rarely made it easy for her. Anyway, Laxus always ensured that he made up for every missed breakfast at dinner by eating up everything that he was served even if he had to force himself.Laxus stopped bothering about breakfast when he began to work at Mr. Henry’s resta
Rise Of The Rightful Heir Adamantly Assertive
“I don’t think I am interested,” Laxus said to Bridget without wasting time.The last thing he wanted was to be in anything that involved Abby Golden. “Have you been reading the blogs? Just one show, and they are already spreading false news about us,” Laxus said, tight-lipped. “I don’t want that,” he stated vehemently.Laxus, although an extremely busy man who barely even had time to blink his own eyes, was still abreast of what was going on around, including news, and as usual, gossips and fake news always spread like wildfire. When Laxus came across the gist about a brewing romance between him and Abby, it had left a sour taste in his mouth for hours. He knew that many men would be overjoyed to be around a woman of substance, grit, and power, but that wasn’t just Laxus, and try as much as he could, he could not just force an attraction or likeness that wasn’t there.“If you will just give me an opportunity to explain what I came up with, sir, you will see how beneficial it will be

A Platter For The Hungry
Nessy ran as fast as her legs could carry her, but then again, she must have been foolish to think that she would ever be able to outrun a man like that, especially on an empty stomach. Before Nessy could even run far, she felt strong and firm arms grip her.“Help!” Nessy yelled as he held her tight, stopping her from struggling or escaping his grip.Unfortunately, this was the slums where no one really cared about what happened to anyone. It was literally the environment where beggars lived, and so even if anyone was being harmed or carted anyway, no one showed any form of concern. If Nessy had been financially capable enough, she would have rented an apartment, and none of this would be happening to her. Camping in a place like this, even if she called the cops, they would not pay her any mind. Nessy felt sorry for herself, because she knew that her life was in grave danger, and yet she had no help.“Somebody, please, help!” Nessy screamed at the top of her lungs, but as she expecte
Something Juicy And Scary
Laxus was having quite a busy day at work, but one thing that gave him some satisfaction was the fact that he had been able to help Olivia and her husband. The arrangements hadn’t been difficult to make. All Laxus had to do was call a surgeon outside the country, and the moment the surgeon knew that it was Laxus of the Laxus Distillery Cave, he had fixed Linnie’s uncle’s name into the list for urgent surgery, and then Laxus had had Bridget make the necessary arrangements.Laxus felt fortunate to have such an efficient personal assistant.Speaking of efficient personal assistants, Bridged opened Laxus’s door slightly and popped her head into his office.“Mr. Laxus, you have a visitor,” Bridget informed him.“Who is that?” Luther asked without even raising his head from what he was doing on his computer. “Miss Abby Golden,” Bridget answered.Laxus’s mood soured immediately, because she wasn’t even in the list of people Laxus wanted to see, talk more of being the least.“I am tied up wi
Not As Planned
Linnie felt as though her body was on fire, and every other thing that was going on before Bridget’s call, including her seduction tactic on Luther died instantly.She became enraged.It was bad enough that Olivia went to Luther to beg for money, almost ruining things for her, but when the desperate woman saw that things didn’t work out for her, she decided to trace her way to Laxus. “How did she even find Laxus or know about him?” Linnie asked herself, deeply disturbed. She should have handled Olivia way before now. The last thing Linnie wanted was for Olivia or her uncle to have a taste of the good life she was having after all they did to her. Seeing her uncle critically sick and being in a horrible financial state made Linnie satisfied and happy. She had felt that what they were going through was their karma, and Linnie would have been overjoyed if she had gotten a call that her uncle had eventually died, or that something terrible had happened to Olivia. Bridget already told he
Ruined Moment
Linnie was seeing a show when the door banged open and Luther walked into the living room. Linnie was jolted in shock, because she hadn’t expected him to open the door in that manner, and more so, she had been consumed with her own thoughts; the TV was just a way to make anyone think that she was truly watching what was going on there.Luther gave her an ultimatum, and Linnie knew that he was dead serious. A man who did not love her would not hesitate to get rid of her the first chance that she got, and now, Linnie was left with two possible choices; find a way to get pregnant for Luther at all cost before she ultimatum runs out, or catch him having an affair and cheating on her. That way, he would have no choice but to hand over all he had, including his shares in the Kinkaid Distillery Company to her.Either way, Linnie gets to remain in the Kinkaid’s lives.“Shouldn’t you be in bed by now?” Luther asked.Linnie had almost thought that he was speaking to someone else, because if it
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
