Suddenly, there was a loud shriek in the neighbourhood, everywhere was suddenly bustling with the sound of people and it seemed like something had gone amiss.“That sounds like there was trouble out there. I think we need to check." Alaric and proposed in alert."Let's see to it, immediately, hoping that no one is dead." Edwin rushed towards the door, the others following behind to see what had happened only to discover that a lot of people had gathered in the front of a house not too far from theirs..It was surprising, nothing like an outburst had happened since the time thru got to the place.Even though it was a ghetto, it was one of the most peaceful places in the city.A sudden cry from a neighbour shows that something was amiss.Upon reaching the place, the trio moved closer to them to understand the situation.At first, they could see a young lady in her twenties, sitting on the porch, her tear-stained face and trembling lips conveying the pains. However, from the comments

“Boss, have you heard the latest news?” Tony hurriedly said over the phone immediately Edwin picked up.Tony's voice shot through the phone, making Edwin's curiosity pique. “What’s the matter? Edwin was fast to respond, deepening his frown.“Boss, Kimberly just declared Linda wanted over the news. It's all over, currently live. Funny enough the criminal tagged his own cousin as a criminal trying to take his life and offered the sum of a million dollars to anyone who finds her.” Tony dropped the bombshell.Edwin and the others hastened towards the house, and Edwin didn't fail to turn on the TV. Just as reported, Kimberly was seen addressing the public, stating the rewards firmly as though he wanted to get a criminal.He equally didn't fail to attach Linda's picture."Anyone who has seen her or has the information of her whereabouts should contact the law enforcement authorities immediately and will be rewarded with the sum of a million dollars." Kimberly completed and the next screen s

The following day, after breakfast, Edwin set out in his mask to meet with Klaus. On his way to get a cab, he sighted Helena on the other side of the road but he chose to ignore her to avoid her rude attitude.He wouldn't want trouble from her sour words, but instead of staying away as he thought, she crossed the road to meet with him. Luckily, he had stopped a cab so he merely got into the vehicle pretending he didn’t see and the driver drove off.That is quite a good start for the day. He had thought to himself.Walking into Klaus’ sitting room, he met him with Brandon and some other gang members. Surprised as to why everyone was gathered, it seemed quite strange. Nevertheless, he snapped out of his reverie immediately to greet.Acknowledging everyone including Klaus.“Good morning boss, good morning everyone.” He tried forcing a smile as though all was well.. He needed to see Klaus in private.However, different from what he thought, Klaus was different. “Kendel, here you are. I th

"Ms Ciara, you have a visitor here to meet with you." Ashley said after knocking the door and entering the office."A visitor? Who's it? Do I have an appointment to meet anyone today?" Ciara, whose head was earlier buried in the laptop before her. Raised her head then asked from the other end of her table. "Yes ma'am, a visitor. He stated his name to be Jason Hall and he's here to discuss some business partnership with you." Ashley replied courteously expecting a response.Leaning back into her seat, she rolled her pen twice before saying. "Okay then, let him in.``Upon his entry, he greeted. "Hello Ms, it's nice to see you. I'm Jason Hall, an investor from Capital City and I'm here to discuss some possible partnerships with the company." Draco said, moving closer to her and stretching his hand for a handshake."It's nice to meet you Mr Jason. I'm Ciara, the general manager of this humble company." Ciara replied while standing to her feet to take his hand."Wow, you look more beautif

On the other hand, Helen was about to enter a shopping mall to get drugs for her mother when she noticed the large audience gathered around, her curiosity piqued and she decided to take a peek of what was going on. However, the moment she got there, she saw a figure she was familiar with. Edwin’s figure. He was the one facing Declan, she obviously knew Declan, considering the fact that she was an indigene of that place. Declan was a very proud man, and he was known to do a lot of atrocities that he of course gets away with. Sighting Edwin right before him, she sighed deeply after which she mumbled. “What the hell does he think he is doing? Does he take everything for a joke? Show off!” She sighed to herself and then waited hoping to see where the show would end. While everyone was waiting for the reaction from Declan boys, a sleek black Bently drove in. and then a voice shot forward. "Who dares to touch him?" A domineering voice said from nowhere, startling Declan together with ot

Edwin hurried off, thankfully, he was able to make a point that he was never a man to take advantage of the situation of others to suit himself.He got into the cab, and sighed deeply, taking a last glance at the lady who had fallen at his feet to appreciate him while the car zoomed off."Fools everywhere!" he mumbled to himself, remembering his ordeal that day.However, he was quick to snap out, he had seen more foolishness, as such there was no need to linger on stupid errors, there are more things to put his mind on.He took his phone immediately, dialled Perry's line. It didn't take more than the first ring before he got through to the other side."Boss, I hope I worked it out just as I should." Perry responded immediately before Edwin could say a word."I commend your efforts, Perry. You have put in so much effort and trust me, you did justice. We need to eliminate fools like Declan who think they can get away with whatever evil they do.""Yes, boss, we definitely do. If you wan

Upon Ciara's arrival at the entrance of Draco's apartment, she felt her heart racing faster than usual and thumping harder against her rib cage.She had never in her life visited a man's place ever since she got married to Kimberly or even had a close male friend.Kimberly was quite jealousy, but this with Draci, she wasn't going to let it pass her by. Thankfully, the freak was out if town and would be have a hold on her anymore.Arriving at the door, she pressed the bell. Briefly turned around to take a glimpse of the mansion.Considering everything she was seeing, the huge mansion with glassy walled, adorned environment, carefully suited car park, you could tell that she was definitely swept off her feet."This would cost a fortune." she told herself, after which she was just about placing another ping on the door, but it came open."Ciara," Draco pretended to be awed. She was dressed in a short pink dress, slightly above her knees, her hair adorned into wavy curls while it bounced
The Billion-Dollar Windfall: Edwin Volvox CHAPTER 88
It's been days since DraCo and Ciara spoke last, it felt like a huge gulf had been made between them.Ciara could have Draco to herself, but the hindrance that she's already married to Kimbetky kept pulling her back.She could have easily neglected her marriage to him, if he were not a rich tycoon, but he was brutal from what she had noticed about him, he would go to any length just to make sure that she remains married to him.Even if it meant killing the opposite party.However, she was behind her desk heavily brooding on the fact that she had not gotten a call from Draco or even gotten a text.She wondered if he was mad at her, because each time she called him after the incident the previous day, he didn't hesitate to cut her calls or his number would not end up going."I need to focus. Ciara focus." she told herself behind the desk and then took the pile of papers before her trying to look into it one after the other, putting Draco behind her. However, each time she tried to do j

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
