An Opportunity To Step In
Luther squeezed his eyes shut in regret.He knew he shouldn’t have allowed Tyler into his home or even had the conversation knowing that Linnie was upstairs, but he thought that it would be quick and dismissive, and being that they had both crawled into a hole since the incidence, she would not be aware.“I see what is going on here,” Linnie said as she came down to the living room.With the way they saw it, it was obvious that she was eavesdropping, so it would be utterly useless for Luther to deny any of what she must have heard.He turned and looked at Tyler angrily. “Now that you have gotten what you wanted, can you leave?” He asked Tyler angrily.“I came here for money, not this,” Tyler said stubbornly. “Someone was bound to find out anyway, so let’s be grateful that it’s your beautiful wife and not your dad whom you are scared of, or even the entire city,” he added.Luther had no idea that Tyler could be like this.All the times that they did their thing secretly, Tyler always a
Caught!
Linnie was furious, and so was Luther. The news that broke out about the Kinkaid Distillery Company had forced everyone into staying away.The only good thing was that it was a temporary setback. However, if they allowed it to linger for too long, it might become a permanent situation.Linnie had the small box that she got from Darwin’s office that was snatched from Laxus at his grandmother’s gigantic mansion. However, she had been trying to open it but couldn’t.“I think I need to find someone who would help me get it done,” Linnie told herself.It was bad enough that Laxus had officially gotten his inheritance; the same thing that Darwin was trying so hard to avoid, and now, he was wealthier than all of them put together. Linnie had never been to the gigantic mansion, but from what she heard, it was the biggest and grandest mansions in the city, and yet, that wretched Nessy happened to be the one by Laxus’s side when he emerged a billionaire.“It should have been me,” Linnie lament
First And Last Time
Bowman sighed deeply and heavily as he wiped the tears that had been sliding down his cheeks as he shook his head, trying to get rid of the memories.They were the only memory that Bowman doubted he would be able to forget, no matter how deteriorating his mental health might become.“Katryn Kinkaid…” Bowman mentioned her name.He hadn’t looked away from the inscription on her tomb since he arrived, and this was the first time he was calling her name out loud, and as he did, his heart broke and his lips quivered.Bowman had always been a man of strength, but his only weakness had been Kinkaid’s daughter; a treasure that he couldn’t have.A week after Bowman had returned and not bothered to reach out to Katryn, Mr. Kinkaid had passed on.Bowman had still been dealing with the hurt of losing Katryn, added to the fact that he couldn’t get visions of their lovemaking out of his head, so much so that for that entire week, Bowman had had difficulty concentrating at work. The only thing he co
Pleasure And Choices
Bowman had stood in front of Katryn as she stood at his door, staring speechlessly. There wasn’t anything in particular he had expected from Katryn, being that he was completely engulfed with the shock and restlessness that the announcement of her presence brought, but it was certainly not tears in her beautiful eyes.No one knew this, but that had been the first time that Bowman was seeing a woman in tears.Of course, he had heard that women cried sometimes; these were stories that he often heard at the men’s club he visited sometimes just to unwind after a busy week at Mr. Kinkaid’s secret company, but he had never seen it. Bowman had always mingled with call girls and women who just wanted sex and money without commitment, so he often thought that the men at the club were either lying, or simply exaggerating.And there he was, staring blankly at Katryn Kinkaid in tears.Seeing her in the state did not just leave Bowman speechless, he mind also went blank. He had no idea what he wa
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
