Darwin allowed tears of regret and frustration to flow after Luther left his bedroom.

He had thought he had won already. He knew that he had won; he did all he was supposed to do. Darwin went over and beyond, and now, was he just going to lie on the bed like a vegetable and watch a common woman ruin what he had worked hard for?

Bowman had always been his enemy, right from the very first day Bowman accosted him at the club and wanted to force him into a conversation, and several years later, Bowman was the cause of his predicament.

Darwin ground his teeth in annoyance.

He really wished that he could be given one more chance to stand up from this bloody bed and take his revenge on Bowman and make him pay for ruining his carefully laid out plan.

Darwin couldn’t help it as his mind drifted to several years ago when he paid the ultimate sacrifice to get what he wanted.

He had just returned from Mr. Kinkaid’s funeral and he ran into his father in the living room with a stern look on his fac

Latest Chapter

  • Time To Get Revenge

    Linnie arrived at Darwin’s apartment with their bodyguards to assist her in carrying some things that Darwin would need. Not that she wanted to give him the luxury of having access to everything he wanted, but her curiosity had also prompted her into coming.“You are fired, along with everyone else that works here,” Linnie informed the security guard at Darwin’s gate and his other domestic staff. “He will not be returning to this house,” Linnie added.She was certain of what she was saying. By the time she would be done with all her plans and gotten exactly what she wanted, she would not need Darwin’s pathetic sight in her face, but then, she would get a smaller apartment for him.His security guard was shocked at Linnie’s announcement, but he had also heard the news of Darwin’s accident, and he understood that Darwin might not possess all the powers to make decisions anymore.When Linnie got to the front door, she turned to one of her bodyguards and said, “Break the lock.”He obeyed

  • Kicking The Bastard Out

    For the next nine months, Darwin had ensured that Katryn was well taken care of and that she had everything she could ever need.He wanted her pregnancy to go as smoothly as possible.“I told you that this was risky,” the doctor had reminded Darwin.“Stay out of family business, doctor, and you did confirm that she was healthy enough,” Darwin had warned the doctor.He was a desperate man, and he would not allow anything or anyone to stand in the way of what he wanted.Then one night, Katryn had screamed in agony; she was in labor.Contrary to when she had Laxus’s pregnancy, she had a whole lot of difficulty. Darwin saw the excruciating pain that she was in, and for a tiny second, he had felt sorry for her.Giving birth to Laxus had come really easy for her, but the second labor had been very painful and scary. Darwin had waited in the lobby, praying and hoping that nothing should happen to his child. A few hours later, the doctor had come out and met with Darwin.“How did it go?” Dar

  • His Own Legacy

    Darwin had been wrought with anger, but there had also been an agreement between the both of them to keep it a secret from Bowman as well as the world.Mrs. Kinkaid had been aware of it as well, and she had been very disappointed at Katryn, of course, but to keep the family from a destructive scandal, she had also decided to keep quiet.Then Darwin had made Katryn promise him that she would never think of Bowman ever again, or try to reach him, and Katryn had accepted. They had then begun to live together as a couple. Darwin had taken over as the CEO in place of Katryn, and to the rest of the people in the city, Darwin was standing in for his lovely wife who was heavily pregnant, and also, he was now a Kinkaid, and therefore, eligible for the seat.As Katryn’s pregnancy developed, Darwin had grown a certain form of resentment towards her. He could barely stand the sight of her. Outside, they were the perfect and loving couple, but in their home, they were like strangers, although Ka

  • His Final Decision

    Darwin had paced about furiously.He couldn’t believe what the doctor said. He couldn’t believe the damn result, and worse, Katryn sat in their new living room, sobbing.Darwin could hardly look at her. He could not even contain his fury as he squeezed the pregnancy test result in his hand, as though that would make him feel any better.“You are not going to say a word?!” Darwin had yelled at Katryn, causing her to jump frightfully.She had always seemed to soft and feminine, almost impossible for any man to want to hurt her, because of her gentility and softness, but Darwin had been fooled by it.He had thought that Katryn Kinkaid was too much of an angel to deceive anyone, yet, she had deceived him completely. He had thought that all through the time of their courtship, he was the master of the game, but Katryn had also been subtly playing her own game. If Darwin wasn’t afraid of rotting in jail for murder, he would have strangled Katryn to death; that was how much he had despised

  • Most Shocking News

    Back to himself, Darwin ground his teeth in annoyance. He had paid the ultimate price, and he would not allow anyone or anything to trick him out of his hard work. Luther might not understand the sacrifice that Darwin had to pay to ensure that he was the only heir of the Kinkaid clan, and maybe that was why he was acting like a fool.Darwin waited patiently because he knew that the maid would soon come and check up on him, and he wasn’t wrong. She arrived shortly after, and Darwin acted like he was still recuperating.He knew he had to be very careful around them, because now that Linnie seemed to be in charge, of course their loyalty would lie with him.Then Darwin signaled to her to call Luther for him before she left.Luther entered a few minutes later, but he stayed away from Darwin’s bed. He was avoiding being assaulted by Darwin again. Darwin knew that Linnie wasn’t back from his house, and he understood that what she might find might leave her astonished, but he needed to act f

  • A Father's Rage

    “Dad, I thought the doctor said you were too weak to use your hands or your mouth,” Luther asked, shock written all over his voice.Darwin tightened his hold on Luther’s arm, making him wince loudly in pain.“Ouch, dad, you are hurting me!” Luther pleaded.“I wish I could kill you this very minute,” Darwin said through clenched teeth, and when he was a little but satisfied with the pain he was inflicting on Luther, he let him go.Darwin understood that no matter how much pain he inflicted on Luther, it would not amount to the pain he was feeling. His chest was tight with anguish, making him pant heavily. Darwin had experienced all types of emotions all his life, but he had never felt this way.Worse, he was helpless and he felt useless.“You are a disappointment to me,” Darwin spat. “And I know that you are only here because she has left the house,” Darwin said.“I am deeply sorry, dad,” Luther apologized deeply.“Save your sorry ass apology! What the heck am I supposed to do with it,

  • Long-South Visitor

    Darwin allowed the maid to feed him as though he was a child without making a fuss, and besides, it was believed that he was near invalid. According to what he heard the doctor say to Linnie, he would need a couple of days before he could start speaking and responding as before.And Darwin was going to bid his time.Darwin had been through the worst couple of days in his life. He never would have thought that this would be his end. Bowman had come into his ward and spoken to him at will, but that was nothing compared to the humiliation and pain that he faced the times that Linnie showed up.“The tiny bitch,” Darwin said to himself bitterly. “I made her who she is today. I gave her the opportunity to become a Kinkaid when I could have simply pushed her away along with Laxus, and now, she feels she can take charge,” Darwin added.He had been frustrated beyond words, and Darwin had wished that things hadn’t turned out the way they did.If only Bowman hadn’t sent his thug to ransack his o

  • Game Plan

    Nessy’s cab arrived and picked her up from where she was hiding. She almost laughed at her situation; Laxus didn’t love her, and he had gone back to the woman that had always had her heart, and now that she had left, he might probably be jumping for joy.So why was she hiding from someone she didn’t think would even look for her in the first place?Anyway, Nessy took her mind away from Laxus and Linnie and focused on what she was going to do. Her heart was beating very fast as the cab drove closer to the hotel. She hadn’t set eyes on her father in ages. If the sound of his voice made her feel the way she felt, she could only imagine how seeing him physically would make her feel.But she was almost there, and there was no going back now.Nessy went straight to the receptionist and said, “I am here to see Sancho; he was recently lodged here, and he had been here for a couple of days now.”The receptionist looked at Nessy in a strange way, and Nessy understood that it was because of the
