Second Announcement
Linnie sat there numbly, unable to move or say a word.She couldn’t even breathe.This could not be happening to her! Why did the universe always derived pleasure from taking things away from her when she was close to getting what she always wanted?Just why?“Mrs. Linnie Kinkaid?” The doctor tried to call her attention. “Are you still here?” He called some more/Linnie had to snap out of her thoughts, but even as she looked at the doctor, her eyes were dim and gloomy.“Did you hear what I just said?” The doctor asked Linnie.“I heard you,” Linnie said, and wished that she didn’t.Maybe if she had been deaf as at the time he gave her the worst news of her life, it would not have been true.Linnie and the doctor both stayed quiet for a while before Linnie cleared her throat.“What you are saying to me is that I am going to lose this pregnancy any time soon?” Linnie asked.She had to tell herself to stop acting dumb and actually take control of the situation. She had already bragged to
Breaking News
“You can’t say anything?” Linnie teased Darwin as he watched her numbly.The injections they had been giving him was really turning him into a zombie, and Linnie liked it, although she would have liked it better if he could react to what she was saying.She wanted to see the anger, bitterness, and frustration in his eyes. She wanted to see him struggle and try to reach for her so that he could strangle her. She wanted to watch him in excruciating pains while he was at it.Anyway, the most important thing was that he could hear her.“I am finally carrying the Kinkaid baby,” Linnie said as she got closer to Darwin.Then she opened the result and placed it right in front of his eyes so that he could see that she wasn’t teasing or lying.“Yes, that’s it,” Linnie added.When she was certain that he had seen the result, she took it away from his face and looked at him with disgust in her eyes.“I wish you could speak, Darwin, because I honestly wanted to know what you would have to say,” Li
I am Pregnant
“I am what?” Linnie had to ask again.It felt as though she couldn’t understand the words of the doctor as she stayed frozen.“You are pregnant,” he said again, louder and more clearly this time.“No, this cannot be,” Linnie said, shaking her head.Yes, she had thought of it on her way to the hospital, but she hadn’t believed it herself, because the last time she had been certain that she was pregnant, it had turned out to be food allergy.The doctor must have been lying to her.“I cannot be pregnant,” Linnie was adamant.“But you are, and the result is right here in my hand,” the doctor insisted.He gave the result to Linnie to take a look herself, but she didn’t make any attempt to collect the result from him, because she was too dazed.“Mrs. Kinkaid, I know you are shocked and out of words, but trust me, you are pregnant,” he added.“How long gone?” Linnie asked; she was still struggling to accept what he just told her.“Two weeks,” the doctor. “And a couple of days,” he added.“No
A Kinkaid Baby, Finally!
Linnie smiled as she walked out of the hotel. She didn’t even bother to glance at the receptionist, because she never cared about her.Her mission must have failed, which hurt Linnie deep down and left her in regret, but she had just sown a new seed.She was never one to give up the fight easily.Linnie got into the car she booked and the driver drove out of the hotel premises. She wasn’t stupid enough to come in her car or with one of their drivers, because even though Linnie was at the helm of things now, she did not want to mess anything up. A story of infidelity would make her lose everything.As the driver continued driving, Linnie’s smile vanished when she felt a sharp pain on her lower abdomen. She had almost yelped in pain, but it was gone; Just as quickly as it came, and Linnie relaxed herself. It was probably one of those times where she felt a swift pain which usually turned out to be nothing. Besides, she had been stressing herself lately.Then Linnie’s thoughts drifted
Finally Set Free
“I want us back together, Laxus.”Laxus resisted the urge to laugh. He hadn’t even gotten the feeling of Linnie’s presence, and worrying that perhaps, her presence might get out and the public would read a different meaning to it.He was only recently accused of stealing his wife from her parents, and he could only imagine what they would say about another man’s wife in his hotel suite late at night.“You need to leave now, Linnie,” Laxus told her firmly.“I know you want me and you are still in love with me,” Linnie said.Laxus stared at her as though she had gone crazy. She definitely had no idea what she was saying. The only thing he felt towards Linnie was anger.He was angry with her for the betrayal years ago, and he was most definitely angry with her for causing his heart to be so broken that he couldn’t mend it enough to love another woman. Laxus wanted to drag her out of his hotel suite, but he restricted himself.First of all, this was a public place. Other patrons could hea
Corny In Her Ways
This was Linnie’s rare chance, and she was going to ensure that she got what she wanted.When Bridget had called her to inform her about Laxus’s decision to spend the night in a hotel discreetly, she had been more than ecstatic.“Seems like there is trouble in paradise already,” Linnie had said coyly.She had always known that Laxus was not in love with Nessy. The only woman Laxus had ever been in love with, and will ever be in love with was her. He probably only married Nessy just to pay her back for choosing Luther.Linnie always knew that her time would come, and now was it.“I don’t think you should go to him, ma’am,” Bridget had tried to advise her.“Why not?” This is the chance I had been looking for all my life and you are saying I shouldn’t go? Why did I plant you there, Bridget? Is it to do nothing with the information you give to me?” Linnie had scolded her.“Not that, Mrs. Linnie Kinkaid, but the last time you reacted on the information I gave you about Mr. Laxus, it had al
Loyalty Doesn't Betray
In an hour time, Laxus was already lodged in a hotel suite.“Make sure you book it in your name. I don’t want the press to know that I am spending the night outside my home alone,” Laxus had told Bridget.“I am right on it, sir,” Bridget had responded.The hotel receptionist had been excited to be seeing Laxus, but Laxus had tipped her generously and indirectly informed her that he wanted to be here discreetly.After Laxus was settled in, the only person he could think to call was Bowman.“I know it’s late, and I shouldn’t be calling you, especially with your health condition,” Laxus started to explain the moment the call connected, but Bowman cut him short.“You can always call me anytime, Laxus. I have a heart condition; it doesn’t mean that your call is going to send me to my grave immediately,” Bowman teased lightly.He didn’t sound very sleepy, and his words were a soothing balm for Laxus.“It’s just that I couldn’t think of anyone else to call, Bowman, and you are like the fathe
Blinded By Rage
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
Gone And Over
After they were done with the press release, Luther and Linnie returned to their home.“What next?” Luther asked Linnie as soon as they entered their living room. “Since you are now the one in charge,” he sneered, and Linnie caught it.She turned to him and smiled coyly. “It hurts to see someone else leading, right? Especially the one you never thought would eventually lead,” Linnie sneered back.Luther ground his teeth in annoyance. He thought it would be easy just standing by and watching Linnie take the lead. He thought it would not be so annoying and difficult to allow her do what he was supposed to be doing, but the more he stood by and watched, the angrier he became.His father would be extremely furious with him.“So what next?” Luther asked again.His mind was elsewhere. He hadn’t heard from or spoken to Abby Golden in days, and each time he thought of her, he worried that she might be upset with him. Well, with the things Nessy’s father had said about Laxus, things would s
