The Billion-Dollar Windfall: Edwin Volvox CHAPTER 13
At the large dining table were seated all the family members of the Shawn family. At both ends of the long table occupied all, except for the patriarch of the family who sat at the edge.Everyone munched on their meal In silence and no one dared to say a word, all eyes were glued to their meals.The silence went on and on for about ten minutes, before lord Shawn broke the silence."What do we do with the situation at hand? We finally have someone who has stretched out a hand of partnership but then insists on a condition. Since we can not provide the condition, what do we do?"No one spoke, for about two minutes after the question had been asked, everyone munched in silence.As such, he suddenly hit the table heavily. "Are you all deaf? Do I continue feeding you with nothing to show for it?" lord Shawn's voice was laced with anger. "I feed you all with your kids, provide the necessary shelter, but now the least you all could do in repaying me is behaving as though I mean nothing?""N

At the entrance of the Shawn's mansion stood the trio, Ciara, Drake and Lucy.While they awaited a response from the maid who had gone to report their arrival, Lucy pulled Ciara by the arm and said. "Hey, Ciara. Make sure you apologise well. Remember your mistake made us a stranger to the family."Ciara still had the arrogant look drawn on her face. "Yes, Mom." her voice was as well laced with arrogance.Just at the same time, the maid returned. "You can come in sir." While the maid ushered them in, Drake's feet had turned jelly-like.This was the first time in two years that he was stepping his foot back into the family house. He could vividly remember how lord Shawn discovered the relationship between Ciara and Edwin and then Ciara had stood firm saying she would get married to him even if they refuse to give their consent.On the same auspicious day, Lord Shawn had given Drake's family the choice of either staying and refusing his daughter to marry Edwin or leaving the family mans

"Good evening passengers. The flight from Boldevia to Eastcliff is about to take off, please fasten your seatbelts. Prepare for the ride.” The announcement boomed throughout the cabin.Closing his eyes, Edwin sighed and leaned back into the seat behind him as he nervously toyed with his wedding ring while it sunk in that he was now divorced. He was still finding it difficult to bear with the harsh reality.There were a lot of emotions to process between getting betrayed by Ciara and going on this mission. It was all too much to even try to figure out just how he was going to handle all of it, but then he knew if he would be successful, he had to get his ass together.Moreover, in his entire life, this was the first time he was travelling without Elizabeth. But he knew better when it came to crime, he always knew that family or anything precious shouldn't be around you, as they might be your weakness."Boss," Xander who sat beside him called but he was still in his thoughts."I will be

Looking behind at the dirty Pickup that parked a few distances behind them, Edwin looked back at the driver, narrowed his gaze, and growled, “Is that who you have been delaying our time for?”Without a doubt, Xander knew that they were about to get robbed and a sense of excitement started stirring inside him.The thought of beating the crap out of these guys had him way too hype and adrenaline began coursing through his veins.As the six men stepped out of the pickup, Xander noticed that the driver was sneering, looking at them like some treasure he couldn’t wait to collect.“This was supposed to be way more fun, but you dickheads refused to get in the damn car.” The driver snarled, throwing up his arms.“I will give you a thousand bucks to stop this nonsense and take us to our destination,” Edwin said, feeling way too exhausted to get into a fight with five robbers.A laugh filled with sarcasm came from the driver’s side of the truck, followed by a sneer, “Do you think I would take t

The security quickly took out their weapons and darted them towards Edwin, Xander, Alaric, and Tony, shouting angrily, “Get in your trash, now!” “We just want to book a suite and get some rest,” Edwin said, raising both of his hands and smiling weakly. “I have money to pay for this place.” A lousy laugh came from the security as he shook his head, he was a robust, balding guy with rough skin. “Oh sure, I bet you can afford to buy a whole hotel, right? You’re probably loaded or something.” He mocked, shaking his head again, his eyes scanning Edwin from top to bottom. “Wait, I know you! Hey, Zane, doesn’t this guy look familiar?!”Edwin was choked immediately, this is the first time he was coming to Eastcliff. How would anyone know him?"Hey, there's a misconception somewhere, I don't know you. You don't know me.""I remember, he's that guy who once looked into the hotel trash bin for something tangible.""And here he is saying he would pay for a hotel." The two security guards star

The following morning, Alaric, Tony and Xander proceeded to the restaurant. The previous night had been a heck of a journey that everyone actually forgot to eat.Hungrily, the trio had proceeded hoping that Gary would meet with them soon enough. "Give us each One-Pot Lemon Garlic Shrimp Pasta." Xander had told the waiter but then the duo interjected immediately."We?!" Tony and Alaric exchanged glances. "How will you eat that?""But I thought you both would love lemon! It's actually cool, it exercises your system.""No, no. Not our system, your system. With the level of work on us, we need to eat pretty fine," "So if you don't mind, we will be taking our own order ourselves." Xander declared facing the waiter. "Now for me, get me a bowl of Chicken & Veggie Stir-Fry.""And you sir!" he turned to Alaric."Yes for me, get me… Umm, same thing as him," he pointed towards Xander.All their orders were recorded on a notepad, after which the waiter stomped on his heels and left.There was o

In thirty minutes, a sleek Black BMW arrived in front of the guest house. It fitted into the description Edwin had given, simple and small.It was difficult to attract people with such a car. Anyone who used it could be referred to as middle class. "Hi, I'm Edgar, I will be your designated driver from today henceforth." A young man dressed in a lapel suit against his body, which looked less expensive, walked towards them to introduce himself. Adding to it, he had black long, straight hair brushed together with a bond."Yea, just lead us to our destination. No long talk buddy." Edwin responded and entered the vehicle with the others. Just in a short while, Edgar drove off."Monica, I've searched for those guys. I check for them in their rooms, including the restaurant, but they are nowhere to be found." Aurora arrived at the lobby trying to catch her breath at the same time, holding on to a big paper bag.Monica laughed, still concentrating on the book before her. "If you are referr
