The Billion-Dollar Windfall: Edwin Volvox CHAPTER 48
"Wow, such a stressful day it was, but it was worth the stress all along," Xander said, falling into the seat the moment they got home."Yeah, it was worth it. I loved the way it turned out. I loved my boss's sense of judgement." Tony replied."I did too, just that I cringed when he mentioned locking up that bad-mouthed girl for three days with no food or water, I felt for her." Linda chipped in, but not until Edwin, Draco and Alaric strode in before they each went silent."Boss, that was brilliant, giving the lowlife an opportunity.""Yeah, sure. But no one is a low-life either. Opportunity separates us." Edwin responded. "Alaric, here, take this." he handed over the papers."Boss,""It's for you. You own it. I have enough to my name, I don't need more. So you can have it.""And here comes just another benevolent act." Linda voiced with a smile. "He is just tooooo benevolent," she said, stressing the o in the words."Thanks, boss. I appreciate this." Alaric was about to say more but

"Where is he, where can I find him?" Linda yelled at the top of her voice, clenching her teeth, and tightening her fist."Calm down, Linda. Another reason we never wanted to tell you yet." Xander tried to pacify her.."I don't care Xander, I feel like tearing life out of him. He is a beast! Kimberly is a beast!" Linda cried out at the top of her voice falling to the ground.Her voice had alerted the rest, and they came running into the kitchen. "What happened? And Perry, I thought we were heading out, what happened, why aren't you dressed?" Edwin asked shifting his gaze from Linda to Perry, trying hard to understand what was going on."Yeah, boss. I was supposed to go get dressed, but then I came for the water you asked of me, and I met Xander.""Xander! Did you cause Linda's pain?" Edwin was quick to ask even before getting a response."Not at all, boss, I didn't, but something we discovered made her cry," Xander answered, squatting low to pacify Linda."What did you guys discover th

Perry's heart pounded hard wondering what would happen if Kimberly read the contract to the clause part. Their plans would be screwed and another opportunity of getting Kimberly to trust them might never be available anymore. Hence, Perry found his heart beating hard. It had never occurred to him that he would fret before a client, but here he was feeling scared before a client, but he tried not to show it, if not, Kimnerly was going to suspect foul play. After a few glances, Kimberly voiced with a smile. "Mr Rowland, this is lovely, I love the deals, and with this, we would have a long-lasting working relationship. I would like to have a meeting with the boss, perhaps it could be online." He apprehended his signature to the document. Perry took the documents, took a little glance at it before putting it into his bag. "It's fine, Mr. Van, I will make sure I pass the information to my boss. As regards the meeting, I'm sure, he would find something to do about it, and if it doesn't w

"Meeting with Klaus?!" Linda exclaimed widely after setting her gaze on the message, reading it repeatedly."I thought it shouldn't be this fast.""We need to talk, everyone," he gulped down the coffee at a stretch heading to the sitting room immediately. "Draco!" he called loudly from the hallways, his voice echoing to the living room, putting everyone on their toes."Boss, any problem?!" Draco had stomped to his feet at the sound of his name."Yes Draco, Klaus messaged. Do you think I am ready for it? If in case he calls for a drink? I didn't think the meeting would come this quickly." Edwin's voice was braced in nervousness."I really can't talk about that, boss. But I'm sure Klsus would call you for a drink soon, as long as you are his favourite…" he finished but immediately included after realising that exactly was going through Edwin's mind. "You need not panic, boss, your stomach is used to alcohol already."Draco changed his stance before he furthered on. "You might not be a g

"Why should I be mad at you?" Edwin dropped what he was holding, and turned around, only to get what he never hoped for.Linda locked lips with him unexpectedly and he was left to stare. Her lips intruding his unexpectedly, forcing his to part ways, had felt as though he were in a long time dream.The last time me ever had a kiss was with Cisra, he had loved her wholeheartedly, and never devoted his time to another woman but her.At the same time willing to please her with everything he had, but then she found it pretty hard giving herself to him.The only time he had enjoyed intimacy with her were their early days in marriage, but months later into it, Ciara had fathomed rules which included dividing their beds in two so as to prevent intimacy.Was he broken by it, obviously yes. Which husband in his right senses would be willing to accept the fact that he wouldn't touch his wife.Certainly no one, but Edwin had stood by the law. Ciara had one day gotten so drunk that she herself req

"Guys, something is wrong, but then I don't want you asking me if I know what's wrong, cause I don't. For now, I can't tell." Tony repeatedly checked over and over again putting the rest in confusion."Tony, check this damn thing," Xander repeated, slightly hitting his fist against his palm."If you will be so patient, I will sort this out," Tony warned without staring."We are waiting, Tony." Linda took a seat patiently staring, even though repeatedly stomping her foot against the ground.Tony busily having his fingers clatter on the keyboard soon voiced. "I've found it. All along, it was only a misconception, but it's solved now.""Thank goodness." Linda stopped hitting the ground, and Xander became patient as well."Now, back to track. Linda, here are the pictures. I need you to choose which of these belongs to your dad's lawyer."It didn't take long before she pointed it out. "Here it is.""It's this guy?" Tony stared suspiciously at the picture."Yea, it is. It's really the guy."

8 pm, Meritual gang meeting…Another moment where everyone was gathered. It's been quite a while since the last gang meeting, another reason Klaus requested the meeting is that he could put his team members on track, ensuring that even during the meeting's absence, none of them have gone out of their way exposing the gang secret.Lastly, he wanted to get more information about Kendel. In the recent time, he had suddenly grown a likeness out of the box for him and if it were possible that the young lad would live with him, he would see to it that he made it happen. However, he couldn't. Based on the fact that Kendel has rejected him first due to some reasons, Klaus not wanting to portray himself as a pushy boss had accepted and agreed to it.After everyone was gathered. Klaus raised and said. "I called this meeting so we could look into something, but I feel you guys aren't ready for it.""We are ready for anything, boss. As long as it's your command, give us anything and we will foll
The Billion-Dollar Windfall: Edwin Volvox CHAPTER 55
Upon reaching out to the door, Kendel’s jaw dropped. “Barron! You!” He pointed to them one after the other in surprise, after assuring Alaric wasn't with them anymore. He definitely needed to make it real.“Barron! What are you both doing here? How did you even get my house, are you stalking me?” Kendel was amazed.“Stalking you?” Both of them turned to face one another and scoffed before saying again. “Stalking you, you say. We are not stalking you. We only wanted to bring you some gift, properly welcome you into the gang.” Barron explained.“But how would we have done that when all you do was to hang out with Klaus 24/7? You don't even want to get used to us, so we decided to find where you live, and here we are.”Kendel faked sighing deeply and concerned even though he knew they were lying. “Alright then. I guess it's fine guys I… I don't know how the gang works yet, and… I barely hang around Klaus. Yeah, he did ask me to get used to him., but then, I must be honest, I'm scared of

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

CHAPTER 112
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
