Rise Of The Rightful Heir False Statements
Everyone was gathered in Darwin’s office, including Thaddeus who was still looking as though he was going to pee in his pants any moment from now. Darwin ensured that Detective George was always present, because he knew exactly how things like this usually played out. Luther was also there, and as expected, he was fuming, but Darwin refused to let that change anything. Darwin knew exactly what he was doing; he was a desperate and an ambitious father and businessman, and someday soon, Luther would understand all of it. Then there was Linnie, Darwin’s new shining light, and unlike what a lot of people knew about Darwin, he would use Linnie to achieve his goals before he finally decided on what he would do with her, although he already admitted that Linnie was surpassing his expectations by her exceptional skills.Then Darwin also invited the company lawyer and of course, a popular blogger to push the narrative. If he had never been serious about dragging Laxus down, he meant it now, e

“We have to go,” Bowman turned to Laxus and said after his call with Dragon.Laxus, however, did not think it was a good idea. For him, he was more worried about the fact that Thaddeus had been taken by someone, and Laxus had no doubt now that that person would be no other person but Darwin. Right now, he wanted to sort this issue out, because he believed that the news from Dragon about the lawyer could actually wait.“Right now?” Laxus asked Bowman.“Yes,” Bowman answered. “We have to now that he is awake and conscious,” Bowman added.“But we can always do that later, Bowman. What are we going to do about Darwin’s attempt to ruin me and your company?” Laxus asked worriedly.Bowman looked at Laxus and smiled. “Listen, boy, two things can be handled at the same time, and while we wait for things with Darwin to be sorted out, we should go and see the lawyer,” Bowman insisted.Laxus knew at this point that he would no longer be able to stop or persuade Bowman. Besides, he trusted the man

“Are you okay?” Laxus asked Bowman, his attention quickly shifting from the barrister to Bowman.Bowman quickly steadied himself, surprised that he had reacted to the news in that manner. Granted, he was shocked and devastated by the news, but it wasn’t enough for him to lose his balance.“Yes, I am fine, thank you,” Bowman said, and it was not until Laxus was certain that Bowman could stand on his own that he decided to leave him.Laxus continued to pay close attention to Bowman, and if he was being honest with himself, he would actually admit that when he caught Bowman almost going down, his heart had skipped a bit. Laxus wondered if Bowman was ill, because for a man like Bowman, he did not expect such reaction.“Who are these people? Ask them to leave!” Barrister Dickson yelled frightfully.The fear in his eyes was so intense that Laxus could barely look at him, and he wondered what the lawyer might have gone through that would make him so scared of anyone at all.“We should talk o
Rise Of The Rightful Heir A Warning Visit
When Nessy heard her doorbell ringing, she was perplexed as to who would be visiting her. Since she moved into this apartment, she had not had any guest over for visitation; not like she had friends anyway, so the first person that came to her mind was Laxus.“What could he be doing here?” She asked herself, surprised already surprised…and agitated even though she was yet to open the door.This was the first time Laxus would be visiting her in her apartment, and even though he paid for everything, he hadn’t thought it wise to come before now. Also, it was getting late.Quite frankly, if Nessy was being honest with herself, she would admit that being around Laxus made her feel uneasy.Anyway, the doorbell continued to ring, and Nessy knew that she would have to eventually answer it. When Nessy opened the doorbell without checking from her peephole to even be certain that it was Laxus first, she was shocked to see no other person but Mrs. Linnie Kinkaid standing right in front of her, i
Rise Of The Rightful Heir Out Of The Blue
Nessy was shaken after Mrs. Linnie Kinkaid left her apartment. Her threat sent shivers down Nessy’s spine, and she became more afraid for her life now than when she was being threatened to spill the beans about the incident with Gary which Laxus was slightly involved in or even when she was sleeping in the counter without protecting.Things are deeper and more dangerous than you know…The words kept ringing in Nessy’s head. She worked as a slave for Gary for years before she killed him in self-defense, and being a man of wealth and power, she knew just how evil and dangerous their world was. Now, Laxus had become one of the richest and powerful men in the city, which meant that he was truly not the same person that she worked with in Mr. Henry’s restaurant.Nessy had almost totally forgotten that she knew little or nothing about Laxus, and now, he was right in the midst of demons and dragons, and for all she knew, he could be one of them, because if he wasn’t, why had a woman like Mrs
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

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

An Unusual Guest
Bowman returned to his hotel room with mixed feelings.He was heartbroken, but he was also relieved. At least now he would be able to travel back and never return. Bowman had the feeling that he would never be able to stop thinking about Katryn Kinkaid, but he would never set his eyes on her again, and he could also use other women to get her off his mind a little.Bowman’s worry also centered on what Mr. Kinkaid had confided in him about.He was dying really soon.Bowman’s heart had split into two when he heard it. He knew that all men would die, but he just never thought that Mr. Kinkaid was a man worthy of death. Bowman had just never thought of it, but now, he understood why the man was trying to put everything in place.More worrying was the fact that Mr. Kinkaid had not mentioned it to anyone else except Bowman. His wife and daughter had no knowledge of this. Also, Mr. Kinkaid had pleaded with Bowman not to let anyone know about the multi-million dollars company he was handling
What To Do
Bowman really wanted to punch something when he returned to his hotel room, precisely the wall, but he feared that if he did that, he would have to be paying for damages.Darwin was not deserving of a woman like Katryn, and it hurt him like hell.It hurt Bowman more deeply because he had a deep attraction for Katryn. He could not stop thinking about her or fantasizing being with her. If Bowman had her, he doubted that he would want another woman in his entire life.Katryn and Darwin’s wedding drew closer and closer, making it almost impossible to call it off, and being that Katryn wanted to go ahead with it because she was in love with Darwin also would make it very difficult to call it off.More than anything, Bowman could not stand it. “I need to leave this city,” Bowman said to himself.He believed that getting back to his job and busy schedule would take his mind off Katryn Kinkaid. At that moment, it did not matter much that Darwin was unfit for Katryn. It was now more important
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
