The Billion-Dollar Windfall: Edwin Volvox CHAPTER 38
"Boss, I got the guy who ratted you out to the corps.""That's incredible, Kendel." Klaus voiced at the top of his voice just after a brief silence. He wasn't expecting a quick response, but then Kendel had proven to be quite serious about making himself a part of the gang and fitting in."I reckon with your growth in the gang on a daily basis, but I already am proud of you." Of course, that's just what I want you to do. Edwin thought and a smirk formed across his lips. "Kendel, can you provide me details about how you managed to go through this operation successfully? Share your victory with me."."I would love to, boss. A more reason I called for the urgent meeting if you really wouldn't mind.""You are funny, Kendel. What is the meeting for? It's to discuss pressing issues like this, and of course, celebrating victories as well. Although there are some exceptions we make, we do not make it every duty to call a meeting, except, of course, we have ongoing missions." he explained op

"Klaus's trust, check. My name is off their radar, check. What's next?" Edwin said to his men during their meeting in the living room."Boss, how about the gang members willing to check for your background? They know nothing about you, but I feel we need to give them something to believe." Draco suggested."Yeah, a very good suggestion from you Draco. I bet they feel they are oppressed considering the fact that Klaus sticks to my part and favours me more. Let's give them what to believe with my new face. The school I attended, my parents, and everything that would fit into make it real, should be added. Tony, you know that's your job right?""Definitely boss.""Now, I need to reach the K5. Any ideas from anyone?" he threw the question out randomly, running his gaze from person to person expecting an answer."Draco, Alaric, Tony, Linda, Perry, Xander. Any ideas?" He called them according to how they were sited.Everyone shook their heads in disapproval, but then Linda broke the silence

"Why don't we get to pick a regular Tequila? As far as I can tell, Tequila also makes people fall hard." Xander voiced while they sorted for the wine."Tequila isn't bad, but then we want Klaus to feel as though he is respected, then we have to do it this way, getting a unique one. But we would go for a Tequila as well since the boss is about practising drinking."While they were at this, Edwin was on the other side of the rack also listening to their conversation, it was there he did see the need as to why Linda was needed in his gang.Left to him buying a Tequila was what he would have done, but there was some lady giving such candid advice as to the necessity.His phone chimed, it turned out to be a mail from Tony. He knew what it was, but he was quick to open it.His eyes flickered over and over the screen, reading what was sent.It turned out that Linda did have a painful past as well, she was a graduate of Accounting, but then, life had been quite merciless on her.She had lost

"It's time to play my own game," Edwin voiced with a different tone. "I want to meet with the manager of this place right now. Only with him would I decide your fate," he said to the sales representative."My apologies sir. I bet I was only misled, but also trying to do my job.""I'm trying to do my job as well Miss," he responded sarcastically, facing the other sales rep ordering them. "Are you all dunce? Call me the manager or I will do worse here!"Hurriedly, one of them scurried off with shaky feet, Edwin suddenly transformed into a merciless being who was unwilling to give in to whatever was a plea."What now! I wonder what's going to befall this young lady." "I can't seem to imagine it as well. Hopefully, the young man gets to give her a break by showing her mercy." The bystanders felt pitiful towards the sales representative who had gone wrong. However, Edwin had no ounce of mercy for her."I guess we have to wait till the manager arrives before we decide her fate." Another b

"I never said I did. I only take an interest in why that bitch would go to any length trying hard to make the boss look like a fool in the presence of others." Linda said, avoiding gazes while she rushed to the table.She pulled a plate of meal herself and hurriedly began to munch."I just hate it when somebody comes up trying to take advantage when they are wrong."She faced Xander. "Tell me what exactly happened between the boss and that lady. How did the separation happen?" she inquired with a half-filled mouth.Xander as well sighed before he voiced. "She left because the boss was still poor and then she followed another man.""Ha…ha…" Surprisingly, Linda burst into laughter, startling everyone around."It's not funny, Linda." Xander voiced amidst the meal."Yeah, it is. Sorry, I laughed. Isn't it just funny? What century are we where women do not have a work of their own?""Just zip up now, Linda, The boss must not hear you speaking this way." Alaric cautioned."I get your point

"I'm leaving. Considering the way you all behave, it shows I'm not fit to stay here. I would rather return to the club than stick with people who would constantly prick me on my skin with whatever they discovered of me." Linda voiced painfully, also heading to the wardrobe, and hurriedly hurling her clothes into her bags."Hey, hey hey, easy Linda." Xander hurriedly proceeded to stop her, trying to catch every cloth she threw."Just let go of me, Xander!" she yelled again, and this time with a firm tone, however, Xander wasn't giving in. He grabbed her wrist and held onto it firmly. Even though she made use of the other, hitting his chest constantly, Xander wasn't letting go. "You aren't going anywhere, Linda. Everything the boss said earlier on, he never meant it. Trust me when I say he is fun to be with, he is never a man to take advantage of his subordinates."With gritted teeth, she replied to him. "So what if he did learn about my parents? What if he did learn about why I did wh

"What do you mean, the search will be more? What else did you find out? You are obviously coming from Linda's room, so what did you find out in a few minutes?" Alaric asked."Well, first of all guys, Linda lost her parents… Yea, they died just like boss said, but speaking to her and getting full details, I did realise that it was way more than death in a motor accident." While the discussion was going on, Edwin had asked Draco to pour him more shots, and at a go, he had taken two shots. And his visions were somewhat blurry, displaying his subordinates in double."Why are you guys having two resemblances?" Edwin voiced pointing at them."Two resemblances?" They each looked at themselves. "Boss is really drunk… I hope he doesn't puke on the nice floored tiles?" Tony softly mumbled.Draco had equivalently taken four more at a go, and just as suggested that shots would even cause a drug lord to go tipsy, he finally was getting tipsy. "You think boss will be able to do this?" Alaric ask
The Billion-Dollar Windfall: Edwin Volvox CHAPTER 45
"Honestly, guys, what do you think?" Xander questioned in excitement."it's a no.." Alaric was against it."Of course, it's a yes." Linda stood before Edwin with her arms resting below her breast. "Boss, you won't tell me no right? Remember I wasn't present for the initiation, please take us out," she pouted."Boss, that's true. I didn't even think about this before. She wasn't present for the initiation, Please take her out and take us along as well." Xander stated.However, others laughed him off. "That's not right Xander, this is about Linda not you, so your charm won't work.""Mine would." Draco raised an arm, in the middle of crunching his cookie. "Boss, please take us out. Considering the fact that I have been stuck between these four walls for the past few months. I feel like I'm emaciating."'No, you are actually dying. Dying fits in." Xander jokes. "Yeah, right. Boss, I'm dying." Draco said jokingly."Guys, fine. You can choose wherever you want to go, on just one condition.

CHAPTER 113
Edwin was immediately agitated by the knock on the door. He had called his guys to stay away from home, if they had, then who was at the door?All this he thought to himself in a daze."You have somebody at the door, man, go check." one of them teased him. He balled his fist in anger, strolling towards the door. The first thing he did was peep through the hole."Damn! Is she dumb!" he mumbled to himself, balling his fist, then opening up, he raised his voice to say. "What are you doing he…"Before he could finish, she raised a bag to him. "What else would I be doing here, if not for the fact that Mum asked me to come over with this plate of soup." Helen didn't allow him to finish his statement before she strode past him into the house."Hele…" her name hung in his mouth immediately while he watched her walk in.Upon getting into the living room, she froze to her feet when she sighted Brandon and his men, her legs turned jelly-like as well while she wondered what was happening.Howeve

At first, Edwin paused when he heard the masculine voice call him, he was expecting a feminine voice and that of Helen to be precise, but here he was meeting another thing entirely."Kendel!" Edwin was first of all struck to the spot. No other person called him by that name except for the Meritual gang, only they addressed him by that name."Are my ears playing tricks on me, or is this reality?" he asked himself, with a creased brow for a minute. Thereafter, fastened his step towards the door.He would never make the mistake of opening the door without the loophole anymore. Helen's case had taught him a lesson.Once bitten, twice shy.He checked the loophole and there, he met the shock of his life. It was Brandon.This time, it wasn't just Brandon, but Brandon was with other members of the gang.He at first headed from peeking through the hole, brushed through his face with his palm to be sure he wasn't dreaming and then he checked but it was still the same thing."What could they be

"Alaric is something up with you?" Alaric didn’t expect Draco or anyone to come around then, so he was startled.Giggling, he forced himself to say. "It's pretty nothing, I just came here to have a drink!" he sipped from the cup again."A drink, for over three hours?""Three hours! How is that even p.." he hurriedly checked his wristwatch only to realise that Draco was indeed right.He had spent over three hours drinking and soliloquising."Is it a girl issue?" Draco took a seat to level with him. "Hmmm… could it be a girl problem?" Draco hurriedly leaned closer. "I thought your woman was back. So why brood further?" Draco was inquisitive.Staring blankly, Alaric said to him. "Maybe I want more than that. Maybe I want more than what I'm getting." he sipped another round from his cup, but then this time, Draco collected it back from him."Hey, enough of it, Alaric! Time to stop drinking." Draco repeated, taking the wine far away.Alaric sighed and leaned against the cellar table before

"Yes boss, I think we should carry them along. They deserve to know everything that's happening so they can know where to come in." Alaric advised and just immediately, Edwin dailed Mr Yen's number."Mr Yen!" "Edwin, is there a problem?" He asked immediately, even though he could at first be heard analysing some aspect of the case with Ariana which showed their dedication to the case."There is a problem, Mr Yen. And for now, I don't think there is a solution to it yet." Mr Yen was immediately agitated. "Please fill me in." be requested."The guilty in this case. Kimberly has put the life if the judge on a stake and now, Klaus the most dangerous underground warlord had declared that I look into her case. He wants dirt on her. In one word, Kimberly wants her license revoked.""This is totally against the law." Mr Yen was instantly confused about what to do. "I'm confused, Edwin. If this judge doesn't declare judgment and he is successfully able to revoke her licence to practice law,

“Let’s elope together at least you would be free from the grasp of your old man. He would seize to have a hold over you. We can have the world to ourselves. Ciara shot him a surprised gaze and then she chuckled. Unlike her old man husband, a lot of things excited her about Draco, and she was ready to elope with him if that's what it would cost her to have a good life. At least, Draco was rich, handsome, intelligent and overall, good in bed.Then what else would she want in a man? All these she thought to herself immediately.“That's a great idea,” she leaned closer to him. “Now, tell me is this a proposal? Are you giving me a proposal?”He smiled in return. “Well, it could be whatever you call it, but honestly I want you by my side every single day and I want to grow old having access to this beautiful body and the owner of the beautiful body.” Draco responded leaning closer as well and intoxicating her with his deep masculine voice that tingled like that of an angelic tone in her e

"What problem do we have here again?" Edwin sounded frustrated."Nothing, really, boss. I'm just so concerned about the reputation of the judge. It wouldn’t be fair to see the innocent woman suffer for what she never did. That is the real law and judgement.""You are right Tony. I understand that." Edwin sighed deeply before he then continued. "You know what, let's have this discussion tonight with everyone during facetime meeting.""Alright boss. Good idea.""You would need to excuse me now Tony, I need to settle Klaus.""We will be waiting for you by nightfall, boss." The call ended immediately.***** On the other hand, Xander had being the one staying with Linda. Since the moment they had repaired their relationship, its being difficult to let her out of his sight.Nervously resting against his lap while she awaited the court results."Still nervous, yeah?" Xander was reading a book but then his other hand was utilised to brush through her brown blonde hair to calm her down."I do

"What if she doesn't have any dirt, what if she's clean?" Edwin asked Klaus he sought ways to discourage Klaus. Even though he knew it might not work, he still wanted to try."There is no harm in trying, is there? Moreover I don't intend to stain my relationship with the K5, it would go a long way to affect me…no one goes against them and remains alive. They are rulers, an unshakable power of the society." Klaus responded affirming his point of view."And if there is none, if no dirt is found, make sure to create one. It's her against us and we must win this time around." Klaus was clear enough after which he ended the call.Edwin gulped hard with the thought of how best he was going to get that done. This same lady is the only way to their salvation as well. Moreover, how would he destry her career just for the sake of some country crazy men.He shook the thought off, and then began to think of how he could accomplish his new mission. On a quick thought, the best person to do the jo

Fuming in anger, he couldn't contain it anymore, his ego had been hurt and he felt he could burn down the whole city."Mr Van, if we would be working in cooperation together I think it's best that you follow my ins…""I don't take instructions from anyone. I’ve been in the business world since you were born and I've been facing cases on cases, so if you don't know how best to defend me then I think you either shut up or get relieved from your duties.,"Despite the fact that Brawly was trying to ignite a discussion so he could help, Kimberly's ego wouldn't allow a space for such.He wanted to control everyone at his fingertips and would want everyone to worship him as well.After considering and figuring out Kimberly's behaviour, Brawly decided to keep his low."Give me the name of that disrespectful judge." Kimberly's voice thundered."What judge Mr Van?" Brawly had already turned confused so he decided to ask so he could clarify."Are you dumb? What judge did we both meet with today?

CHAPTER 105
Not until Ciara felt his arm tug at her waist, did she realise that there was trouble.She shuddered when his hands touched her, and her brows constricted from irritation.Why is he touching me? She told herself and at the same time was just about making an attempt to turn his hands off when she remembered he accused her of cheating.If she pulled herself out of his embrace, he was going to suspect her more.Deep down, she irritably said to herself. "Calm down Ciara. Accommodate him, it's all for a short time." she told herself.The following day, the court was buzzing with whispers from various people. Even Kimberly had wondered where the faces had come from.He wouldn't have told anyone except his immediate family members that he was going to undergo a trial. Looking around and seeing different faces whispering he was still confused as to where they had come from.Nevertheless, it was time he focused on the case at hand, he had to win it.One other thing was missing, the fact that h
