Rise Of The Rightful Heir Pity Or Reward?
Laxus was speechless for a minute, not knowing what exactly to do or say. He struggled between telling Nessy the truth and simply finding a convenient lie, because in all honesty, he did not want to talk about the family and past he had left behind.“I can’t tell you, I am sorry,” Laxus eventually said calmly. He began to wonder what Linnie came to Nessy’s apartment for, and why she would be threatening Nessy. They had absolutely nothing binding them together, so why would she be harassing Nessy?“How am I supposed to feel safe when I don’t know what is going on?” Nessy asked, and Laxus understood where she was coming from, but he found it difficult to just tell Nessy everything.“How did she even find out that you live here?” Laxus asked.There were so many thoughts and questions running through his head now, and he wanted answers to most of them. He would have confronted Linnie, but Laxus had sworn never to have anything to do with her.“You tell me,” Nessy said, crossing her hands
Rise Of The Rightful Heir The Big Reveal
“I don’t want to talk about her,” Laxus said and hoped deep down that Nessy would just let things rest.Laxus decided that he would have to send a formal warning to Linnie, or even get a restraining order against her to protect Nessy so that they would not have to deal with this anymore. Laxus could not believe how broken he was by just seeing Nessy hurt and withdrawn from him. He had no idea that he wanted Nessy to be unhappy with him.“Then I am sorry, Mr. Laxus, but I cannot go anywhere with you, or continue working for you, or even staying in this lovely apartment you got for me,” Nessy said.Laxus was deeply heartbroken. He could not believe his ears, and for a minute, he thought he had heard wrongly…Laxus hoped that he had actually heard wrongly.“Excuse me?” Laxus asked in disbelief.“You heard everything I said, Mr. Laxus,” Nessy said, going back to being very formal with Laxus, and he hated it. Nessy saw how shocked Laxus was and she shook her head. “Oh, you thought that a l
Rise Of The Rightful Heir A Trip Down The Past
Nessy sat there, stunned into speechlessness. In everything that had gone through her head, she never thought of that. She never imagined that was what Laxus would say, and now that he had said it, she could not even think.Her mind had gone completely blank.“Or I was a Kinkaid,” Laxus corrected.It still didn’t change anything of who Laxus was, and Nessy wondered if she was experiencing something strange and unreal for the very first time. She knew that Kinkaid family; who didn’t know one of the wealthiest and influential families in the city? The Kinkaid Distillery company had been in existence before Nessy was born, and they had been very successful. Never had Nessy thought that she would ever sit with a Kinkaid in the same space and this closely, because the social standing was far apart.Nessy and Laxus stayed quiet for some time.Nessy did not know what to say or even how to react to what she just heard, and Laxus didn’t seem like he was going to say something else anytime soo
Rise Of The Rightful Heir Brunt Of Betrayal
“You and Linnie were engaged?” Nessy asked, shocked.She had heard of betrayals, like what her own father did to her by giving her away without considering her feelings or thinking about her safety simply because he wanted to get Gary off his neck, but this had to be the deepest betrayals she had ever heard. Nessy had never fallen in love before, but she knew that being hurt and betrayed by the people you loved and trusted had to be the worst pain in the entire world.“Yes, we were,” Laxus started. “I loved Linnie so much, Nessy. She was an ordinary waitress when we met and I fell in love with her. She seemed different from all the other high class girls I had met my entire life, and I thought that she was truly different. I thought Linnie loved me, but I was wrong. The moment an offer to marry my brother instead and enjoy the wealth and fame that came with being a Kinkaid was dangled in front of her, Linnie grabbed it,” Laxus explained.“She chose your brother over you?” Nessy asked;
Rise Of The Rightful Heir Horrified
Nessy immediately shook her head the moment the thought came; it was totally wrong of her to come to such a conclusion. Besides, her own father also gave her away to a total stranger, and up till this very moment, neither of her parents had made any attempt to find or reach Nessy.“I am sorry you had to go through all that,” Nessy said, and she meant it.She knew exactly what it felt like to be betrayed and hurt by people you loved and cherished, especially family members.“There is no need for you to feel sorry for me,” Laxus said tightly. “I do not regret anything that has happened in the past, because it has helped me become who I am today,” Laxus added.Nessy nodded in agreement. She could tell that the entire situation was still affecting Laxus, whether or not he liked to admit it. One thing that Nessy knew for sure was that if anyone was truly over their past, they would not be angry and hurt when the conversation was brought up.“And I didn’t tell you any of this so that you wo
Rise Of The Rightful Heir Keep Him In The Dark
“What are you going to do about what the doctor has told you?” Dragon asked Bowman as they drove back to his mansion.It was settled now that Laxus would make quick and discreet arrangements for Barrister Dickson to be flown out of the country and attended to properly.“Laxus is in trouble,” Bowman said instead, pretending to not have heard Dragon. “He is being dragged for something that he is innocent about, and Darwin is doing this to tarnish his image and hard work,” Bowman added.It was obvious that he was trying to avoid the topic, but Dragon was not about to let Bowman get away with this one. When Bowman had gone into the Doctor’s office, Dragon had eavesdropped. He wasn’t usually a man to do something like that, but with the way Bowman dismissed Laxus and spoke to the doctor, even with the way they had gone into his office, Dragon was certain that something was off.More importantly, Dragon was worried about Bowman.He had noticed some changes in Bowman recently even though he
Rise Of The Rightful Heir Still Getting The Shitty Treatment
Darwin, Luther, and Linnie, along with the other members of the board spent ample time having a meeting in the conference room where Luther made some presentations as well as Linnie.One thing Linnie observed was how well Luther presented the assignment given to him.Linnie knew her husband. First of all, regardless of the fact that he now showed up at the company every day without fail, he did not really give a shit about Kinkaid Distillery Company. In fact, he was now extremely showing signs of dedication and commitment simply because she had been hired. Secondly, he was not that smart. If Laxus had done the presentation, Linnie would have been wowed by the excellence, but not Luther Kinkaid.Everyone was impressed, but Linnie was skeptical.“Well, the meeting is over now,” Darwin began after all said and done. “Everyone should please take their jobs seriously and ensure that we are on board. This company must be ranked as the best distillery company in the city, and no other compan
Rise Of The Rightful Heir The Meet-Up
Laxus waited for Linnie at the location he sent to her. It was a private place, and because of his standing in the city, he was assured of privacy.Laxus would not have demanded for privacy in this manner, but he needed to address and correct things. He also knew that he should have just gone about this the legal way, but judging by Darwin’s lawsuit threat, if he went right ahead with legal restriction orders, they might twist the narrative and say that Laxus was only doing it because of what he was being accused of, and knowing how gullible the public were, they would buy it hook, line, and sinker.Laxus knew without a doubt that Linnie would show up and show he waited for her patiently, and he was right; Linnie walked right in a couple of minutes later. She had a smile on her face, but as Laxus set his eyes on her, his stomach recoiled in anger.“Have you ordered something for me? You have always known what I like and gotten it correctly,” Linnie said sweetly.Laxus was only having

For The Love Of One Woman
Bowman had waited for Katryn and Darwin at the fancy restaurant that he had booked after Katryn had informed him that she had been able to get Darwin to come along.It had been a disastrous idea, considering the fact that Bowman could hardly deny his strong and deep attraction for Katryn. He was certain that he would end the dinner with a heartache, but then again, he was doing this for Mr. Kinkaid, and he would do anything for the man, even if it meant hurting himself.Some minutes later, Katryn and Darwin had strolled into the restaurant, with Darwin holding Katryn possessively. Bowman had bit his lower lip in stark jealousy as they both looked like the perfect couple. He had known that this was going to shred his heart into pieces. They hadn’t even gotten to him yet and he was already in pains.Bowman slowly and cautiously got up as they approached his table, because he did not want Katryn to taunt him about leaping to his feet again.“Thank you for inviting us to dinner,” Katryn
An Idea!
Bowman’s mind was going round and round with thoughts of how he would be able to get the job done. He had already missed his chance at the club to get to know something about Darwin that he would take to Mr. Kinkaid, and now, he needed another means.He could not fail the one man he respected the most in the entire universe.In his hotel room, Bowman could not stop thinking, but all thoughts seemed to be leading him to a dead end. The more time he wasted, the more days he was likely to spend in a city that he really didn’t belong to. Also, he had a company to run for Mr. Kinkaid, even though the man had already informally bequeathed it to him.After hours of thinking and almost developing a headache in the process, Bowman eventually came to a conclusion! In less than an hour, he arrived at Mr. Kinkaid’s residence. His heart began to race very fast as soon as he got into the compound with his rented car and driver, all thanks to Katryn Kinkaid. Bowman knew that Mr. Kinkaid was at the c
The Look
“I think I could get a table for us,” Darwin had answered almost immediately.All eyes were still on Bowman, making him uncomfortable.Aside from the fact that the club was everything that Bowman never associated himself with, he wasn’t a man that liked being around many people, which was why he was actually hiding at Mr. Kinkaid’s party, and that had been exactly what had drawn Katryn to him.Maybe if he had simply mingled with everyone else like the other guests, Katryn’s smart eyes would not have picked him out.“This is no place for gentlemen, but I doubt you even understand what that means,” Bowman said, not bothering to mask his condescending tone.He didn’t like Darwin, and finding him here already made him like him less, and Bowman saw that his words made Darwin slightly upset, but he didn’t mind.“You are coming with me,” Bowman said authoritatively.Darwin scoffed in annoyance. “You must think that you are talking to your son, huh,” Darwin retorted. “You cannot just waltz in
The Offer
Bowman hadn’t had a particular thing in mind that Mr. Kinkaid might have asked of him, but he was certainly shocked when the man told him to watch over Darwin for a few days and give him a report. Bowman wondered why Mr. Kinkaid could not just call off the wedding which was in a few weeks rather if he felt uncomfortable with their union rather than going through all this length, but then again, he had never really questioned the ways and decisions of the man that he respected with everything he had.And so Bowman had no choice but to do what Mr. Kinkaid requested of him.He would have to spend more time in the city, and of course, see Katryn again.Bowman struggled between the feeling of excitement on the mere thought of seeing Katryn again and the guilt of desiring the young daughter of his boss. He feared that the more he saw Katryn, the harder it was for him to resist her.Well, he had a huge responsibility now that he could not run away from, and he would ensure that he did every
Smart But Unwise
One thing that Bowman was grateful for was the fact that the driver was someone he rented along with the car when he arrived in the city.If it had been one of Mr. Kinkaid’s drivers, he would have been doomed, because report would have certainly reached him about Bowman’s misconduct.But how in hell did Katryn see and notice Bowman’s erection? He tried really hard to keep it unnoticed, but then again, Katryn, whom Bowman now knew was sharper and smarter than he had given her credit for, had noticed, and that had been the most embarrassing moment of his life.As soon as Bowmna arrived at his hotel room, he dashed into the restroom and all he needed to do was envision Katryn and think of her as he touched himself, and the pleasure came freely to him. Bowman wasn’t a man who engaged in self-pleasure, especially when he could easily go out and get whatever woman he wanted, but on rare occasions when he was badly starved, especially at night, he indulged in it.Even at that, Bowman had ha
Irresistible
Bowman wished that he could say no, but then again, turning Mr. Kinkaid down was not something that he could deal with. Besides, he had no excuse as to why he couldn’t drop Katryn off.Thoughts of Katryn being in the car with him, in the same space with him, and possibly close to him aroused and scared him at the same time.“I promise not to be a bully,” Katryn said, sounding like a little child that needed to be spanked by a man like Bowman.Jeez, he hated where his thoughts always went the moment he looked at Katryn or even thought of her.How could he become so attracted to the one woman that was off limits for Bowman? He could have any woman he wanted to, all thanks to Mr. Kinkaid who had made him a man of money and power, even though no one knew him in the city. If Katryn Kinkaid had been another woman, Bowman would have had sex with her by now.And maybe this insane arousal and obsession would have disappeared.One of the many reasons that Bowman hadn’t committed to any woman, o
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
