Linnie arrived at Darwin’s apartment with their bodyguards to assist her in carrying some things that Darwin would need. Not that she wanted to give him the luxury of having access to everything he wanted, but her curiosity had also prompted her into coming.“You are fired, along with everyone else that works here,” Linnie informed the security guard at Darwin’s gate and his other domestic staff. “He will not be returning to this house,” Linnie added.She was certain of what she was saying. By the time she would be done with all her plans and gotten exactly what she wanted, she would not need Darwin’s pathetic sight in her face, but then, she would get a smaller apartment for him.His security guard was shocked at Linnie’s announcement, but he had also heard the news of Darwin’s accident, and he understood that Darwin might not possess all the powers to make decisions anymore.When Linnie got to the front door, she turned to one of her bodyguards and said, “Break the lock.”He obeyed

Laxus was overjoyed, but at the same time, he was worried when he got to the place that Nessy rented for herself.Dragon gave him the address, and Bowman had insisted on coming with him, but Laxus refused. He wanted to handle this all by himself and correct the wrong that he did.Laxus knocked on the door and waited patiently. Few seconds later, the door opened and there was Nessy. Shock was registered on her face when she saw Laxus.“Laxus, what are you doing here?” Nessy asked.“Please, may I come in?” Laxus asked remorsefully and gently.He was worried that Nessy might not want to let him in or even listen to him. Laxus’s heart was beating loudly, and he couldn’t understand why he was feeling this scared and worried to lose Nessy forever.He had never felt this way about any other woman, not even Linnie. When Linnie left him and married Luther instead, he was enraged and hurt, but he wasn’t worried or scared, and his heart certainly didn’t beat this rapidly.After a moment of conte

Bowman knew the moment he saw the letters even without touching or opening them, and that was because after he heard of Katryn’s death, Mrs. Kinkaid had revealed to him that he had a son with Katryn; a result of their one-night stand, and she also told him that Katryn had tried to write to him, but Darwin seized all the letters.“Five million dollars, and you will get to read all these letters,” Linnie answered. Then she proceeded in bringing out the small box, much to Bowman’s surprise. “And you can have this forever too,” she added.Bowman’s heart grew heavy.What Linnie was asking for was not an amount he could not afford, and he knew that she was a desperate bitch, but he didn’t mind. Anything that would put his mind at rest and help him to complete what he should have done years ago, and also get closer to Katryn one last time, he was willing to do it.“And you will never show your face again?” Bowman asked her.“You have it,” Linnie answered with certainty.Bowman didn’t believe

Laxus was almost losing his mind. He had already alerted the cops, and although they were out looking for Nessy, they had to do so cautiously so that they would not upset the kidnappers.Dragon was also out with his men, combing the entire city carefully and searching everywhere for Nessy.“You are going to have a heart attack if you continue like this,” Bowman told Laxus.He had never seen Laxus this troubled, and it confirmed all that Bowman had been saying that Laxus was deeply and madly in love with Nessy. The look he saw in Laxus’s eyes was very familiar; it was the same kind of look that he had about Katryn Kinkaid.“How can you ask me to calm down? What would become of me if anything happens to Nessy?” Laxus said.He was already beating himself up for letting Nessy go to the gigantic mansion with just one driver and bodyguard. He already had that fear the first time that Nessy mentioned her intentions to visit the mansion, but she managed to talk him out of it.How could he hav

Laxus stayed glued to Nessy’s side at the hospital, holding her hand tenderly and never letting go. Nessy had been in the hospital for twenty-four hours now, and even though she kept slipping in and out of consciousness as a result of the medication that was administered to her, Laxus remained at her side.Bowman had tried to talk Laxus into going home to get some rest, but Laxus had been adamant.Even the doctor had informed Laxus that there was nothing to be worried about anymore, as Nessy was better; the medication only needed to wear out of her system so that she could regain consciousness fully and be discharged, Laxus still didn’t leave.Staring at Nessy, it dawned on Laxus that he had fallen in love with her.Without knowing and without looking, he had loved Nessy. After the betrayal he experienced from Linnie, Laxus never imagined that he would ever be able to love another woman, but here he was, having his heart pump with love for Nessy.The mere thought of losing Nessy made L
