Rise Of The Rightful Heir Brothers At Odds
Laxus froze in his position.What was his brother doing at the restaurant where he worked? What was his brother doing in Las Vegas?""He was pretty impressed, and he wanted to see the chef making the hamburger. You might get a huge tip, you know.""Laxus heard a voice behind him whisper. Luther was busy with his iPad while he waited, so his head was bent low. Laxus turned and discovered that it was Nessy that was whispering words into his ear. He released a tight smile, because he did not want Nessy to grow suspicious.She seemed like a really smart person, because the first time she witnessed an altercation between Laxus and Drake, she had immediately sensed that something was going on between them, so he needed to make an appearance before she began to ask funny questions.""He seemed like a very wealthy person, Laxus. Like, he basically reeks of wealth and affluence,"" Nessy praised Luther.Laxus’s jaw tightened in annoyance and stark jealousy. He did not realize that hearing someo

Laxus wiped the kitchen counter with anger and vigor. “Argh!” he growled in annoyance.This was the fifth time that Laxus was wiping the kitchen counter, and it was already as shiny as a diamond, but he still continued to wipe it clean as though it was the first time. Laxus had cleaned the entire kitchen sparkling clean all by himself without waiting for the restaurant cleaner to do it, and all because he was freaking upset.“Damn it!” Laxus’s voice was louder and more painful this time around. The sound of his voice echoed all around the restaurant, as well as his pain and pain. Tears gathered in Laxus’s eyes, and before he could even realize it, they began to fall, and Laxus let them drop. As they dropped on the counter, he wiped them away with vigor and strength. At least now, he had something to actually wipe off the counter.The restaurant closed up completely about an hour ago, and all the staff signed off nearly forty-five minutes ago. Even Mr. Henry himself had closed up and
Rise Of The Rightful Heir A Long Night
After Drake stalked off, Laxus turned to leave. He still hadn’t forgotten his own pains, predicament and troubles. Also, he still hadn’t forgotten that the same Nessy had been drooling and gushing over his half-brother, but as he turned to walk away, he heard Nessy whimpering.Groaning internally and in frustration, Laxus turned and saw that Nessy was visibly shaking. Laxus would have thought that she was cold, after all the weather was chilly, but it was not enough to cause an adult to shiver, especially one like Nessy who wore a jacket as thick as his.“What are you doing here at this time of the night and with Drake?” Laxus’s voice was gruff and hostile, but instead of Nessy answering his question, she burst into tears.“Oh God, not tonight,” Laxus grumbled to himself. He had just finished shedding his own ocean of tears, and he was not about to watch someone else do theirs. Besides, one thing Laxus could not stand was watching a woman cry. It was one of his greatest weaknesses; on
Rise Of The Rightful Heir A Stubborn Guest
As soon as they began to walk towards Laxus’s apartment, he began to regret his decision. A lot of things could go wrong; as if a lot of things were not already going wrong.They walked to Laxus’s apartment in silence. When they arrived at his front door some minutes later, their boots had already gathered some snow that was already beginning to fall.“We would have frozen out there waiting for a taxi,” Nessy said. She sounded like her old self; the Nessy Laxus knew.Laxus ignored her completely. He opened the door with his key and urged her to get into the house, but Nessy stood still without moving.""Come on, I am really not down for any attitude tonight. You agreed to spend the night at my apartment for your own safety, didn’t you?"" Laxus’s tone was harsh and visibly upset. He was also impatient, and he did not intend to hold out his door for long, because he would hate to invite the cold into his small apartment.Then it dawned on Laxus that, perhaps, Nessy had thought that he s
Rise Of The Rightful Heir Lying His Way Out
“Are you okay?” Nessy asked, shocked at Laxus’s reaction to her question.Laxus quickly got over his initial shock and he bent low and picked up the spoon that had fallen to the ground. He did not expect to be asked that question, considering the fact that he was going over and beyond to keep his identity as a Kinkaid private. First of all, this was the exact reason he did not want to have anyone in his space. Laxus deliberately did not make any friends since he moved down here, because he was trying to avoid situations like this, and if Nessy hadn’t been stranded, he would never have invited her to his apartment. Secondly, Laxus did not realize that he still had a pen from the family company with him. He guessed that was the only thing of the Kinkaid clan that he had with him. Recalling now, the Kinkaid Distillery company pen had always been in his pocket every single day right from the time he started using pen to write when he was a kid, so it was only natural that he would have ha
Rise Of The Rightful Heir Stolen Recipe
As Laxus laid on his couch that night while Nessy slept on his small bed, he could not stop thinking about what Nessy had said.“…someone really special and close to my heart used to work for them.”Was it a relative or a lover? Laxus could not tell, and it troubled him greatly. He could not find sleep, and he could not stop thinking about it either. He earnestly wanted to find what employee of the Kinkaid company the person was, but Laxus knew that asking those questions might put him in the light of things, which he didn’t want. With only a few hours that he had spent alone with Nessy, he already knew that she was not just a chatty and merry-go-round kind of girl. She was also smart, and she would definitely figure out something. Also, tears had gathered in her eyes, and since Laxus could not stand a crying woman, he lad let the matter die.Still, Laxus wanted to know by every means possible.He could not guarantee that and Nessy would be on speaking terms now that he had helped her
Rise Of The Rightful Heir Laid Off
It took Laxus some time to be able to get over his shock.“Excuse me sir, but that is a blatant lie!” Laxus said defensively.The recipe he had been using to make hamburgers that had been making customers troop into the restaurant was his grandmother’s secret recipe which Laxus had inherited from her when she died. Often times, when he was much younger, he usually spent time with his grandmother at the Kinkaid family mansion. What a lot of people didn’t know was that Laxus’s maternal grandmother was the head behind the Kinkaid Distillery company. She had inherited it from her father who didn’t live long enough to build the company to its peak, and out of love, had allowed her husband to be the face of the company while she stayed at home to take care of their two daughters, Laxus’s mother and her younger sister, while still brainstorming for the company.As the business grew and expanded over the years, what people didn’t know was that it was divided into two companies; the Kinkaid Di
Rise Of The Rightful Heir The Big Offer
“Who are you, and why would you ask me to get into your car just like that?” Laxus asked, his voice almost quivering in fear.He looked around, hoping to see passersby like him who could help him, but mysteriously, Laxus was the only one walking the pedestrian lane that morning, or maybe he had been the only one, but he didn’t realize it until now. Laxus had no idea who this person was or who had sent him, and he was already out here in the street long enough to know how dangerous and deadly it could be. When he was still under the wealth and protection of the Kinkaid family name, Laxus always moved with drivers and bodyguards, so he never knew how dangerous and cold the outside world was.“Don’t be stubborn,” the bodyguard warned sternly.He glared at Laxus, and Laxus feared for his life instantly. He was alone on this path, and it was still very early; if he proved stubborn, he could get killed right here and his body dumped without mercy. Laxus was going through so much, but the la

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
Past Hurt and Grudge
“The Kinkaid Distillery Company has been thrown in disarray since the attack on their CEO, Mr. Darwin Kinkaid. As eyewitnesses would have it, his son, Luther Kinkaid, and daughter-in-law, Linnie Kinkaid, were seen fighting dirty right in his office for power and takeover. The Kinkaid Distillery Company has become a laughingstock now, and it is such a shame, because it used to be one of the biggest and most thriving distillery companies in the country. With all the drama going on in that family, we doubt that that company will ever get back on its feet. For now, they are under a temporary lockdown…”Laxus and Nessy listened to the news about the Kinkaid family and company in their living room, shaking their heads.Videos and pictures of Luther and Linnie fighting like kids in Darwin’s office were all over the internet, and now, with this news, they were going for doom already.“This is so tragic,” Nessy said sadly. “And to think that you used to be a member of that family,” she added,
Coercive Rest
“Don’t you dare come close to me!” Darwin yelled angrily at the nurse that was assigned to him.He had not slept since he woke up from the attack in the hospital, and as a result, he was having a banging headache. He could not stop thinking and worrying about things.Luther had been with him when he had gotten a call from his secretary and informed him about Linnie’s appearance, so he had hurried out of Darwin’s ward and straight to the company to stop her from whatever she might be planning to do. From that time until now, Luther wasn’t back and Darwin was dying from suspense.He had been struggling and fighting, but it had only made him end up in more pains and worsened his mood, so as soon the nurse came in to check up on Darwin and put back the sheet that had fallen off him as a result of his restlessness, Darwin had lashed out at her.She had scurried to the other side of the ward in fear, and she was the tenth nurse that was being assigned to Darwin in just a few days.“I am sor
Something For The Blogs
“Shit!” Linnie exclaimed in disgust and anger at the painful interruption that Luther just made and she wondered how he knew what she had been about to do, or that she was even at the company. “One of those freaking idiots must have tipped Luther off,” Linnie added.The pressmen and women were shaken a bit; why wouldn’t they be anyway? Luther looked like he would strangle someone to death with his appearance, but they soon recovered from their shock and fear.“You bitch!” Luther screamed angrily, his voice hitting the roof.“What are you doing here, honey?” Linnie asked in a sweet and romantic voice. She knew that the pressmen and women had their eyes and ears glued to what was happening, so she must act accordingly, even though she wanted to act as angry and disgusted as she felt. Didn’t she ask those security guards not to let anyone in? How incompetent could they be? She had specifically said no one should be let in, and they should know that it included Luther. If they had heeded
Press Release
Linnie carefully put the box out of the eyes of everyone else, so that when she was ready to leave, she would take it with her.“Make sure you take out anything and everything that looks like Darwin from this office; it belongs to me now,” Linnie ordered.She caught the shocked looks on their faces for a minute before they nodded and continued with what they were doing. Linnie smiled proudly; they might not be comfortable with her directives, but they had no choice but to comply.She was the boss now.Linnie could rarely wait for the press to arrive so that she would make that press release that would go viral in no time, and once it did, coupled with the fact that news of Darwin’s health conditions was already out there, things would go smoothly for her. Just as Nessy was not a threat to getting Laxus, so was it with Luther; he was not a threat to reigning over the Kinkaid Distillery Company.“Is there anything that you have that you want us to put in place of what we have removed?”
