“Who the hell is that man?!” Laxus thundered as soon as he and Nessy were securely inside the company, away from the crowd and crazy man.The moment the brick missed Laxus, his security guard and bodyguards swung into action immediately. First, they opened the gate and guarded Laxus and Nessy until they were inside and the gate was shut back.The whole thing had made the crowd of bloggers and paparazzi rowdy and in a frenzy, causing loud noise and commotion. Bridget and some other staff members who had already arrived hurried out, and Bridget acted bravely by stepping out of the gate and teaming up with Laxus’s bodyguards to chase everyone away from the company premises.Meanwhile, Nessy was greatly shaken by what just happened.“He could have hit you with that brick,” Nessy had said, her body shaking and her lips quivering in fear and shock.Laxus had realized yet again that Nessy was very delicate and soft even though she acted the opposite sometimes.“I know, but he didn’t, and I a

“Have you ever heard of the name?” Luther asked the man.He seemed very shocked and although the Kinkaid name was a popular one, Luther had a feeling that it was more than just seeing it in the news or reading about it in the blog.“I told you that I would handle this alone,” Linnie muttered to Luther warningly.Luther felt insulted, and he opened his mouth to lash out at Linnie, but he stopped himself, reminding himself that he already made an agreement with himself.“Do you have something else to say?” Linnie asked when she noticed that Luther opened and closed his mouth too quickly.“No, you may carry on,” Luther said, sounding meek and obedient.With everything that had happened and all that he had realized and discovered, he believed strongly now that the way he was acting was the right way to go about it.“Good,” Linnie said before she turned back to the man.“Answer me,” Linnie commanded him.“Yes, I have,” he answered.“From where?” Linnie asked him.“Gary was once a senior st

“What’s wrong?” Nessy asked when she saw the look on Laxus’s face.Laxus showed Nessy the message, because this wasn’t what he could hide from her even though he wanted to.The message made him deeply and extremely troubled, and his mind began to move in different directions trying to think of who the anonymous person could be talking about. Nessy became worried almost immediately.“Who could have sent this?” Nessy asked.“I have no clue. The message came from a private number, so it cannot be traced, or maybe not immediately,” Laxus answered. “I think the bigger question is who this person is referring to,” Laxus added, deeply worried.“Or maybe someone is trying to play a silly prank on you,” Nessy suggested. “Almost everyone knows now that you were attacked today, so this is probably just to upset you more,” Nessy added.Laxus shook his head; he didn’t believe her.“I doubt that is the casse, Nessy. Who would go the extra-mile just to play a silly prank?” Laxus asked. “I have this

Linnie and Luther arrived at Lisa’s newsroom for the story that Sancho, Nessy’s father was about to release to the public.Linnie ensured that Sancho was kept safe and secured and away from the public eyes while being provided for. However, before now, she had been doing some deep thinking.Saying the story they had all agreed that he was going to say would tarnish Laxus’s glorious image. Linnie knew that that was what Luther wanted, but that wasn’t exactly what she wanted. Linnie still had unwavering hope that she would get Laxus back, and as a result, she did not want his reputation to be ruined, or even his company to face any setbacks.“When I get Laxus back, I want him wealthy, powerful, and influential, and not someone that has been run down and disgraced,” Linnie had said to herself.So the night before the statement release, she had carefully crafted out the story. Everyone was going to play by her rules now. Linnie was in charge of this ship, and she would not let anything st

Laxus was having a hard time getting over his conversation with Bowman. It took him every ounce of courage to leave Bowman after staying longer than expected.And now that he and Nessy were back to their home, he felt his heart swell with so much sadness and disappointment. He could not stop feeling like the universe did not like him.Laxus lay on the bed while Nessy talked to the chef by the door. They spoke in hushed tones, but Laxus could hear them.“Anything you think will make him feel better, please prepare it,” Nessy told the chef.She looked at Laxus on the bed with so much pity in her eyes. She had come to love and admire Laxus, and the marriage he shared with Nessy. In turn, Laxus and Nessy treated her like family, making her exceedingly loyal to them.“Of course, I will,” she responded firmly.“You know I would have done it myself or joined you in the kitchen, but I don’t want to leave his side just yet,” Nessy said.“I totally understand,” the chef said. “Let me know if y
