The Billion-Dollar Windfall: Edwin Volvox

A frustrated Edwin bolted into the house in anger. He had just returned from the bank where he confirmed his fears. Previously he had checked his balance through his phone, only to realise all his money, which he struggled to save in the last three years, was gone. Out of fifty thousand dollars, he mysteriously found three dollars. Everything was gone, his savings were the last hope he had to pay for the surgery of his sick mother. However, considering various options, the only person who could go to such a length of withdrawing his fund was Ciara Shawn, his wife. The moment he walked into the bedroom, he found her filling her nails. Seething in anger, Edwin yelled out. "Where is my money? Why did you touch my savings?" Instead of a look of remorse and guilt, she acted indifferently, engrossed in taking care of her nails other than acting as she cared. "What else would your beautiful wife use the money for?" "Of course, I had to get a beautiful dress that would make my appearance

Both the nurses, guardians and Edwin himself had to turn towards the location of the voice, only to see a huge framed man dressed in a dark navy blue suit. Which turned out to be a three-piece suit with a crisp white shirt and a navy blue tie. His shoes were black, shiny, and polished.Adding to it, he had short, dark hair, neatly combed and parted on the side. His face was clean-shaven, and he wore a pair of wire-framed glasses. "I said, you all should let him go! He is not to be rough-handled!" he repeated after recognising their hesitation.He hastened towards Edwin, slightly bowed, with an apologetic tone. "My apologies for coming late, young master. I should have arrived early enough and then this wouldn't have happened." Edwin was dazed. He found it hard to get meaning out of what was being said."Let's get going immediately, young master. I will make sure I get the best doctor and your mom will be on her feet in no time." Edwin had doubts.He knew no one to suddenly help him o

“I want a divorce, Edwin.” Ciara had repeated to Edwin’s dismay. “Where exactly did I go wrong, Ciara?” Edwin believed she was supposed to be the one apologising for all the evil she had done since the day they got married. Severally, she had caused him humiliation in the family. Made a joke out of him, her family wasn’t fine with him, and so was Ciara herself.Nevertheless, he had loved her unceasingly hoping that one day she would come to love him like he did. But it was all a dream.She would go to the extent of frustrating him and selfishly making decisions. The last which had almost cost him the life of his mom, if not for the miraculous intervention from Adrian.“Ciara, why don’t we talk about this when we get home? I believe there is a misunderstanding somewhere.”On the other hand, Ciara scoffed.”You are a big joker, Edwin. Get down here right now so we can get the papers signed!” Edwin became disorganised, torn between the situation at hand and then his wife’s sudden reque

Andrew Anthers threw the document to Edwin's face. "Make sure you sign it right now, so we can get the hell out of your cottage!" 'If you cannot provide for her, I will give her the world. If you feel like she is worth nothing, then let me take care of her. And I already am, right from this moment."Andrew threw the papers at Edwin's face which of course got him quite annoyed. He would not tolerate getting trampled upon by anybody.Edwin balled his fist and squatted to pick up the document. "What's in the paper you threw at me?" he frowned to ask."If you can not denote it by reading, then I guess we would hire someone to help your dumb brain out," Andrew said with audacity.Edwin read through it, and then he saw it. Right on top of the document was boldly written. Divorce agreement."Are you serious about this Ciara?" Edwin asked her with creases lined across his forehead. "Man, get this thing signed or I hand you over to the cops for beating up a woman." Andrew sounded quite impat

Edwin stopped Alice with his hand across her figure. "Not yet, Alice. We've got scores to settle with these people," he turned towards Ciara."I thought you should be over me by now? With the obvious fact that you are already married to a scumbag like yourself." Edwin said without flinching. "Don't you dare, Edwin! I mean it when I say don't you dare insult my husband. He is much more capable than you have ever been since the day we got married. So speaking of the useless one among us here, I think everyone should get to know that you are the useless one." Ciara scornfully rested her arms underneath her breast.She was certainly enjoying the fact that her words were beginning to call the attention of every other person around them."This is really going to be good for the gossip of the week." a bystander said."You bet it, yea. Coupled with the fact that it's a family drama, people are certainly going to love it. We need to take note, my blog is gonna hear some pretty news." a second
