The Billion-Dollar Windfall: Edwin Volvox CHAPTER 64
"Can we talk?" Xander softly spoke to Linda after breakfast while she was attempting to return to her room. Hearing Xander speak, she froze on the spot waiting to hear what he had to say. "What is it, Xander? Do you want to attempt to kiss me again?" Linda asked, expecting a swift response. Xander had to sigh slightly before saying any more words. "Look, Linda. I truly am sorry. I never intended to do that, but I couldn't control myself."He placed his arm on her shoulders which she shrugged off, placing her arm beneath her breast, and clicking her head sideways. "You need to know I… Love you." he stuttered trying to speak his mind, not without considering how she was going to take it. Linda scoffed before saying. "Now, I can say you are indeed crazy." she strode off, but he followed after her. "Wait, Linda, there's something else I need to say, and I need you to listen to me please." He sincerely pleaded. Linda frustratedly stopped, impatiently waiting for whatever he wanted to

"Am I welcome? I brought soup." Linda said, lifting the bowl in her hand to Alaric's face."Yea you, you can come in." Alaric moved from the doorway giving her space."Guys, I brought soup! Who wants some?!" she squealed in excitement. However, others weren't finding her presence appealing.Their expression towards her was pale, with no element of excitement whatsoever."Boys, what's the silence for?" she tried as much to avert Edwin's gaze. "I think the best thing I'd do is to get you all a plate myself."She was about to turn around when Edwin called to say. "You know you shouldn't be here right?" immediately, Alaric made gestures to Draco and both of them exited the scene leaving Edwin and Linda alone."I came here because I knew you guys might not be eating well." She tried as much as she could to fake a smile."What if I tell you we didn't want you? And speaking of soup, I think you should leave right this minute!" Edwin said with a straight face without batting an eye."It's jus

Xander sauntered towards his room, leaving Tony's. A few steps from entering his room, he clicked his head sideways at the sight of a figure. "Linda!" he murmured to himself, catching a glimpse of her pale expression. Considering her expression, he would have gone to pacify her, but not with what she had done to him.On the other hand, she couldn't stay longer to behold his presence, and as such she left, and Xander left as well.He had more important things to deal with other than staring at a woman who didn't have the same feelings for him as he did.Quickly, he picked up his keys, and headed for the vehicle, since Perry wasn't available to join, he needed to go do things himself.Getting into the vehicle, he stepped on the gas and drove wildly, making sure to evade other vehicles as fast as he could.He needed to get the will and close the end of the case.Upon his entry into the warehouse, he spotted Ethan, who already seemed weak, due to the uncomfortable sitting in a position

"Crescent?!" Edwin repeated in surprise. "Yes boss, I saw the name clearly, it's a crescent blog." Tony repeated showing him the exact video directly from the blog. "here it is, boss.""Not at all, I did hear you… Just that the name, Cresent sounds familiar, I was watching a clip recently, and then I found that same name, just can't tell where exactly…." he passed trying hard to remember, but then he suddenly jolted to say. "Here, I remember. Are there any other related blogs with the same logo?""Umm… As far as I checked, boss, there were no others. This is the only blog I found to have that name." Tony replied brilliantly."If that's the case, then I think I know who exactly owns the blog. And we need to get to this person as fast as possible. Coincidentally, Klaus has given me the mission to kill this same person.""Huh!" Tony exclaimed in surprise before speaking out. "So, boss, what do we do? Are we going to kill?""Edwin scoffed before saying. "If we did kill like Klaus as alwa

"What baseless theory are you saying?! What about those whom you sold the drugs to? Aren't they parents or children of some parents here? Yet you have such audacity to spout baseless theory?" Garavel annoyingly and repeated, openly taking sides with Declan, and it did work.Biggs finally went mute. "Fine, I agree I'm wrong too." he found a seat to rest his butts."Yeah, good you admitted, you were wrong. Now everyone here, let's see how we can help Declan. Agreed?!""Some answered, while others didn't. As much as they were senators, some of them valued looking after themselves instead of getting plunged with the culprit."Boss, why not do as I say? They should believe that and all this protest, I believe, will end." Gregg suggested again."Well, that leaves us where? You seem so blind that you refuse to see that even the media wouldn't be able to find their way into this building. So how do we hold the damn meeting?" Declan was currently running out of patience and then his phone bega

"Klaus! I'm sure you would have gotten the message. The news flowing around about me." Declan stated firmly with an ordering tone."Yes, Your Excellency, I did hear, I got the news and…""There is no time for excuses, Klaus. Just let me know the source of the news. Who started it, who wants to ruin my political career?""I will do that.""When you do, make sure you break the person. Kill the person… Or.." he paused for a short while before he continued. "Just capture the person, I need to know who exactly it is, so I can destroy the person with my own hands." he voiced amidst gritted teeth."Certainly, I will do that," Klaus affirmed and thereafter put off the call.Declan had just put away the phone and sighed deeply sinking into his chair when he heard the double door forcefully pushed open."W..hat. Happened?" Declan jolted on his seat immediately, trembling with the look of fear while he stared at the men in black uniforms, pointing Assault rifles at him from all sides.The corps.

"Be quiet Draco, Klaus is the one calling," Edwin warned immediately.Picking the call immediately, the first thing that met him was the harsh words from Klaus. "Don't make me lose my trust in you. Why haven't you handled the journalist? The fucker has caused chaos around the state, I hope you must have heard of this.""Boss, I am going for him. I would never flaunt your orders.""You had better not, I need you to get him killed in twenty-four hours. Nothing more." Klaus was raging in correspondence to the report he got."I will b…" before he could finish the statement, Klaus cut the call immediately. Edwin sighed deeply and sank his head into the seat. "Draco, you were saying something earlier.""Boss, here. I saw this new headline,' he handed over the phone to him."What is? What? Governor Declan is dead?! How come? He got arrested earlier today. How come? How could he die behind bars?"Edwin couldn't hope back his surprise while he stared at the headlines which read. 'Governor Decl

Draco stepped firmly on the gas and sped off, peeking into his wristwatch at intervals, while Micheal kept giving directions."Aren't we there yet?!" Edwin had to yell out considering the different navigation Draco had to go through. He was already at the thought of Micheal lying to them, perhaps trying to deceive them into something or someplace different.It wouldn't be strange if he did that. However, Edwin was ever ready to remove life from him if such happened."We've been driving for thirty damn minutes! Is this how far and crazy your train station is?" Edwin was forced to yell at Michael at the peak of his anger."W…we are almost there. It's a village, it's difficult to reach the train station." From the back seat, Edwin pulled Micheal by the neck firmly. "Hey, look here. If in case we lose this person, trust me I will kill you! I will skin you alive!" Edwin's yells instigated fear into his heart that he gulped repeatedly immediately.Letting him go, Micheal opened his mouth

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.

"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
