The Billion-Dollar Windfall: Edwin Volvox CHAPTER 1
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

The only possible solution Edwin thought of rendering, was pleas at the table of the doctor to get his mother treated, while he sought other possible means to get the money.Upon his entry into the hospital, he was heading straight to the office, but then while he strode the hallway, something caught his attention. He noticed a patient was dumped in the hallway. From where he stood, he could see the struggles of the patient, depicting how much pain she was passing through. Pitifully, Edwin shook his head, thoughts of why the hospital could have done such a thing ran through his mind, but then he couldn't make out a reason as to why it happened.Nevertheless, he kept on walking. He was almost a step away from the patient when his curiosity piqued. The same patient had a familiar bracelet he had gifted his mother.It caused him to take a second glance at the person laying on the floor.However, he was dumbstruck at the sight of what he saw. "Mother!" he yelled out in fury. All along i

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

There was no need for further explanation. 'The hospital had been purchased by a superior family.' the president had declared.No other person had reached out to buy the hospital except for Alaric. When the realisation dawned on Aiden that he had hit a hard rock, he fell flat to the ground immediately. "Young master, my sincere apologies. I take back all I said."The revelation didn't hit him alone, but it also hit the nurses and guardians. However, fear could be noticed on the face of the nurses."We did underestimate him, now I'm very sure we will get fired." A nurse had murmured in fear."It's not me you offended, you offended my young master. So it's only if he forgives you. The ball remains in his court." Alaric replied to the director.Even after the discouraging words, Aiden kept apologising, however, the moment he realised the nurses were still on their feet, he yelled. "You all should get down on your knees! Can't you get a hang of the situation?"Edwin on the other hand was

“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

"What mission Sir Carlos?" Edwin was surprised. Sir Carlos leaned back. "It's not a tough deal Edwin. Only you are expected to spend one million dollars from the card I gave you. The one million dollars must be used well.'"I would like to see how best you can utilise the money. You have just a week to do that, Edwin, then we move on to the next thing. But then, in the meantime, welcome back to the family." Sir Carlos declared.As much as Edwin was happy with the fact that he had finally gotten to know who he really is, his heart wasn't at peace. Never in his whole life has he handled an amount that's as big as one million dollars, not to talk of spending it. However, he could tell that it was a simple test to test how extravagant or reserved he could be.While he was thrown into deep thought, he suddenly heard Sir Carlos command Aiden."Aiden, please drive Edwin back home. It's getting late already. I believe he would also want to see his mother at the hospital. So I think it's hig

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

Ciara was enraged that Edwin didn't try to plead with her not to leave. She felt less important because of that.All through the discussion about the divorce, all he kept on doing was asking questions and not going down on his knees as a gentleman would do in order to retain his wife. She wanted more humiliation for him than he was already getting.She had thought this to herself the moment he boldly said she should leave."Dad, Mom, Andrew, please let's go immediately," she voiced in displeasure. "And as for you Edwin, I expect you to meet us at the courthouse in a few minutes. Remember we value our time, Andrew here as a lot of meetings to get back to. So don't keep us waiting," she turned around to leave.On the other hand, Andrew couldn't help but leave without taunting. "Oh darling, have you forgotten that he cannot make it there in time? He doesn't have a car, I bet he doesn't even have money for a public vehicle. Too.""Hmm, that's true, Andrew." She turned to Andrew. "Since w
