Rise Of The Rightful Heir One More Try
“…and it is worth billions…”Linne could not get those words out of her head. it was a good thing she stayed back and eavesdropped, because Darwin did not want her to know, just as he did not want her to know about most things that went on in the company, and Luther would never have said a word of it to her.“Bastards,” Linne said, grounding her teeth.Darwin left some minutes ago, and Luther also left almost immediately to only God knows where. He and his father had argued for some more minutes where Darwin was trying to get Luther to come to the office today so that they could join heads together and see what can be done about this new development, but Luther stubbornly objected.“I already have today scheduled for something else,” Luther had told his father.“You know I am doing all this for you. Come to the company and let us talk properly about this; I already asked the lawyer to come around as well. It will just be for a few hours, and you can go about your day from there,” Darw
Rise Of The Rightful Heir Strange Things
Since Laxus was no longer going to work, he spent the entire day thinking about his meeting with Bowman.First of all, the man seemed like he knew much about the Kinkaid family; things that Laxus obviously didn’t know, and now, he was offering a huge amount of money to Laxus to start up something for himself and fight his family. Bowman did not reveal anything else, which bothered Laxus; he only told him to spend some days thinking about his offer.“That offer is too much,” Laxus said to himself. What if he failed? What if Bowman decided that he needed his money back? Laxus would never be able to pay back, and that would make him be at the mercy of Bowman forever. Laxus wasn’t stupid or ignorant. He might not be rich anymore, but he was once in the midst of plenty, and he knew how men like Bowman operated.“Getting away from my family was freedom to me, and there is no way I am going back to being under anyone’s mercy, ever again,” Laxus vowed to himself.In fact, if his family could
Rise Of The Rightful Heir Uncertainty
Abandoning what he had just experienced, Laxus hurried to Nessy. It was getting dark now, and from what Nessy told him, she was still at the store. Laxus knew he shouldn’t be going there, especially considering the fact that Mr. Henry fired him, but he could not get over how scared and frantic Nessy sounded, as though she was in danger.The moment Laxus got to the shop, the sign there was close, which means they had closed for the day. However, Laxus tried to push through the door, but he was stopped by Drake.“What are you doing here?” Drake asked harshly. “You have been fired already, so why are you here?” Drake questioned, facing Laxus menacingly.“What have you done to her?” Laxus asked, breathing hard.He was breathing hard from rushing over to the shop and he was also breathing hard because he was ready to fight Drake if he had hurt Nessy. Laxus did not have any feelings or attachment to Nessy, but he just hated it when people, especially women were being bullied, especially the
Rise Of The Rightful Heir An Old Staff
Laxus was stunned, speechless, and confused as to what to do. He saw Nessy shaking as her eyes went from the man to Laxus, and her quivering lips released whimpers occasionally.“What…what happened here?” Laxus asked Nessy.He could not see the man’s face, but from the grey in his hairs, it was obvious that he was not exactly a young man. Anyway, Nessy found it difficult to open her mouth, and when she did, no words came out.“Nessy, you have to talk to me. What happened and who is he?” Laxus asked again.He could not possibly think of anything that could have gone wrong, and Nessy looked too innocent to kill a man in cold blood, but then again, looks were very deceiving, but all the same, Laxus could not find himself in this kind of situation. If the cops arrived and met him here, he would be in deeper trouble, because there was no way they would not realize that he was a Kinkaid.It dawned on Laxus that there was no way Nessy would say anything if he did not do anything to make her
Rise Of The Rightful Heir Panicky
Laxus staggered backwards, shocked.“What is it?” It was now Nessy’s turn to ask him. “Do you know him?” Nessy asked further when she saw that the color in Laxus’s face had disappeared.Laxus could not tell Nessy that he knew this man well enough. The man in question lying in his own pool of blood was Mr. Gary, an old staff of the company, and also, the same man who worked closely with Laxus’s father. Laxus had no idea that a staff of the company lived around these parts, and he could not tell if the man retired from the company and moved down here, because Laxus had been away from home for long now, but all the same, this was a messier situation than Laxus had thought it would be. If the cops got here and found him here, he would be in a deeper shit. First of all, they would think he possibly murdered the man, because he was kicked out of the Kinkaid Distillery company, and secondly, his family would buy that story and watch him rot in jail.Laxus could not risk it.“We have to go,”
Rise Of The Rightful Heir Unwanted Guest
“Hello, Laxus,” Linnie said with a broad smile on her face.Laxus just stood there, shocked to his bones and as a result of that, he could not utter a word. The last time he set his eyes on Linnie was the day his father had coldly announced to him that she would be getting married to Luther instead, and the hurtful betrayal he had received from her that day.Laxus Kinkaid would never forget that hurt in a lifetime.“Been a while, isn’t it?” Linnie asked, her smile neither wavering nor faltering when Laxus didn’t say anything, or even bother to let her in.Her soft, sweet, and feminine voice floated into his ears, and for a moment, Laxus almost allowed himself to be melted by the sound of her voice. Linnie’s voice was one of the reasons Laxus had fallen in love with her from the very beginning, but now, he was quick to remember that she did not waste any time in dumping him for his brother, Luther.“What do you want here?” Laxus asked, his voice sounding harsh and gruff. He liked it a

Laxu would be a fool to believe or trust any word that comes out of the mouth of someone like Linnie.“I don’t want to know anything, Linnie. Get out of my apartment, right now!” Laxus said and meant every word.Now that they were alone, Laxus could not stand the sight of her. He had thought that Linnie was the only good thing he had going on until she betrayed him without any iota of remorse. “This shabby thing is what you call an apartment?” Linnie asked condescendingly. “Laxus, this place is a shithole that even pigs should not live in,” Linnie said.Laxus jaw tightened with annoyance. It was one thing to have to deal with her betrayal from afar, and it was another thing entire to have her stand in front of him and bring him down after all he had been through. “Get out,” Laxus ordered Linnie, more sternly this time around.He was ready to lay his hand on that delicate skin of hers and throw her out himself, because he knew without a doubt that Linnie was here for a suspicious mis
Rise Of The Rightful Heir Anonymous Recommendation
Laxus was unable to sleep that night as several thoughts ran through his mind. He was bothered about Nessy and where she would have gone to at that time of the night, but he was more worried about Linnie’s visit. First of all, she had shown up unannounced, meaning that her visit meant something, but then again, Laxus did not even give her the chance to corrupt his mind with whatever reason she had come for.There was also the issue of her mini-purse which was left in his apartment.Thinking about it now, Laxus could not tell if Linnie deliberately dropped the pause or she really forgot it, because as far as he could remember, she did not even sit for a minute, so how on earth did she leave her purse on his couch. Something was definitely not right.Laxus was woken up by the ringing of his phone. Laxus was surprised to see that it was Mr. Henry that was calling him.“Good morning, Mr. Henry,” Laxus said immediately he picked up. Laxus sat up in bed immediately, because regardless of

Forbidden Fruit
“Hi, daddy!” Katryn had called out, bubbling with laughter and joy as she went right to where Mr. Kinkaid was seated and hugged him tightly.Mr. Kinkaid had hugged her right back, and in that moment, Bowman had seen how happy and proud Mr. Kinkaid had been, and of course, his happiness.And that was the first time that Bowman wished that he also had a family.Katryn was dressed in crop top shirt and shorts that revealed her tall and full thighs. Bowman had tried to take his eyes away from them, but he couldn’t. Her hair, the same as Mr. Kinkaid’s, had been tied in a ponytail, revealing her beautiful ears and earrings.Bowman had swallowed hard over and over again. Seated right there, as he watched Mr. Kinkaid’s only daughter and child, he had been hard as a rock.For the first time, he had wanted a woman so badly.“She is forbidden fruit, Bowman,” that same voice had warned Bowman.“Don’t I know you?” Katryn had asked, finally turning to Bowman and dragging him out of the battle he wa
The Responsibility
After that short encounter with Katryn at the party, Bowman had been unable to get her out of his mind.It had been disturbing and troubling, because for the very time, a woman had caught his attention. He had stayed back in the city for an extra day, which was unlike him, and as he went over to the Kinkaid Distillery Company to inform his boss, Mr. Kinkaid, of his intention to return to the branch out of town, Bowman could feel the heaviness in his heart.He knew that he would not return to this city for the rest of the year, or any time soon, and somehow, he was deeply devastated that he would not be seeing Katryn again.“She is your boss’s young daughter, and she has a fiancé already, Bowman; get your head right,” a voice in Bowman’s head had warned him.But his heart had been adamantly stubborn.“Bowman, ready to leave?” Mr. Kinkaid had asked, shaking Bowman vigorously the moment Bowman had stepped into his office.Bowman respected Mr. Kinkaid a lot. In fact, he was the only man
The Special Place
“There is somewhere I need to go, alone,” Bowman told Dragon, placing emphasis on the “alone” part of his statement.Dragon looked at him suspiciously. “Is it a visit to the doctor?” Dragon asked.“No, it is not,” Bowman answered.“Then where is this place that you don’t want me going along with you?” Dragon asked further.Bowman was almost exasperated, because first of all, he wasn’t even used to being followed everywhere like this, but ever since he was diagnosed of the heart issue, Dragon had made it a point of duty to always be around him. Bowman saw the way Dragon always looked at him when he thought he wasn’t looking, and he did not particularly like it, but he decided not to fuss about it.Dragon always stared at Bowman as though he would collapse at any moment, and he wanted to ensure that he would be right there to keep Bowman from falling.“You have been going everywhere with me, including to Darwin’s ward even when you knew that it was risky,” Bowman started. “Darwin could
Past Hurt and Grudge
“The Kinkaid Distillery Company has been thrown in disarray since the attack on their CEO, Mr. Darwin Kinkaid. As eyewitnesses would have it, his son, Luther Kinkaid, and daughter-in-law, Linnie Kinkaid, were seen fighting dirty right in his office for power and takeover. The Kinkaid Distillery Company has become a laughingstock now, and it is such a shame, because it used to be one of the biggest and most thriving distillery companies in the country. With all the drama going on in that family, we doubt that that company will ever get back on its feet. For now, they are under a temporary lockdown…”Laxus and Nessy listened to the news about the Kinkaid family and company in their living room, shaking their heads.Videos and pictures of Luther and Linnie fighting like kids in Darwin’s office were all over the internet, and now, with this news, they were going for doom already.“This is so tragic,” Nessy said sadly. “And to think that you used to be a member of that family,” she added,
Coercive Rest
“Don’t you dare come close to me!” Darwin yelled angrily at the nurse that was assigned to him.He had not slept since he woke up from the attack in the hospital, and as a result, he was having a banging headache. He could not stop thinking and worrying about things.Luther had been with him when he had gotten a call from his secretary and informed him about Linnie’s appearance, so he had hurried out of Darwin’s ward and straight to the company to stop her from whatever she might be planning to do. From that time until now, Luther wasn’t back and Darwin was dying from suspense.He had been struggling and fighting, but it had only made him end up in more pains and worsened his mood, so as soon the nurse came in to check up on Darwin and put back the sheet that had fallen off him as a result of his restlessness, Darwin had lashed out at her.She had scurried to the other side of the ward in fear, and she was the tenth nurse that was being assigned to Darwin in just a few days.“I am sor
Something For The Blogs
“Shit!” Linnie exclaimed in disgust and anger at the painful interruption that Luther just made and she wondered how he knew what she had been about to do, or that she was even at the company. “One of those freaking idiots must have tipped Luther off,” Linnie added.The pressmen and women were shaken a bit; why wouldn’t they be anyway? Luther looked like he would strangle someone to death with his appearance, but they soon recovered from their shock and fear.“You bitch!” Luther screamed angrily, his voice hitting the roof.“What are you doing here, honey?” Linnie asked in a sweet and romantic voice. She knew that the pressmen and women had their eyes and ears glued to what was happening, so she must act accordingly, even though she wanted to act as angry and disgusted as she felt. Didn’t she ask those security guards not to let anyone in? How incompetent could they be? She had specifically said no one should be let in, and they should know that it included Luther. If they had heeded
Press Release
Linnie carefully put the box out of the eyes of everyone else, so that when she was ready to leave, she would take it with her.“Make sure you take out anything and everything that looks like Darwin from this office; it belongs to me now,” Linnie ordered.She caught the shocked looks on their faces for a minute before they nodded and continued with what they were doing. Linnie smiled proudly; they might not be comfortable with her directives, but they had no choice but to comply.She was the boss now.Linnie could rarely wait for the press to arrive so that she would make that press release that would go viral in no time, and once it did, coupled with the fact that news of Darwin’s health conditions was already out there, things would go smoothly for her. Just as Nessy was not a threat to getting Laxus, so was it with Luther; he was not a threat to reigning over the Kinkaid Distillery Company.“Is there anything that you have that you want us to put in place of what we have removed?”
Eventually!
Linnie arrived at the Kinkaid Distillery Company with a triumphant smile on her face.She had already made some calls and in a few minutes, pressmen would arrive. She already had everything planned out and she could barely wait to execute them. She had been patient for years, and now, it was time to make do with the opportunity that the universe had presented to her.By the time she was done, she would have successfully taken over the company, and emerge even richer than what she had anticipated.She had seen the news about Laxus and his inheritance too. “He will be mine by the time I am done with Darwin and Luther,” Linnie vowed to herself.She still hadn’t given up on the reconciliation between she and Laxus. Even though he was now married to that wretch, Nessy, she could get him back.“If I could end up the victor after everything with Darwin and Luther, then I can end up being Laxus’s wife as well,” Linnie told herself as she took her time climbing up the stairs to the top floor.
Triggered
Luther paced restlessly in Darwin’s ward with his phone in his hand and the blog news on his screen while Darwin fumed on his bed uncontrollably.Darwin was in severe pain as a result of his attempt to rise when he read the news, but he did not give a fuck about the news. If the pains would make him get back on his feet, he would gladly endure them, but now, he was not just suffering from pains, he was angered in his spirit.Luther had hurried to his father’s ward when he also got wind of the news.“You are nothing short of a failure and disappointment to me,” Darwin said through clenched teeth.As he looked at his son, Luther, he wanted to punish him gravely. Darwin had done everything possible to turn Luther into the son he wanted to be, but none of them worked, and now, as he glared at Luther, he felt as though he hated his own son.“Just look at the mess you have caused us!” Darwin barked some more.His words stung Luther deeply, and he could not find the guts to even face his fat
