The Billion-Dollar Windfall: Edwin Volvox CHAPTER 90
After making sure Alaric had crept in, Edwin approached the door. He had barely gotten to the door when the doorbell rang again the third time.He would not just open up, he paused a bit and then asked. "Who is it?"When he was getting no answer, he peeped through the peephole and then he found Helen, putting her hands on her waist and changing her stance repeatedly as though she was mad at something."Helen?! What is she doing here?" he mumbled to himself after which he opened up."Helen! What are you…""I came over for something important." She interrupted without allowing him to finish his side of the story first, which allowed him to furrow his brows, but still trying to be the gentleman as much as he could, he asked her."Do you mind coming in?" "There isn't any need to. I don't want to either. But I came over for something important.""O…"Another time she was interrupting him. "I saw you at the scene this afternoon, I saw what you did. How you defended the girl.""O… It's good

Draco strode towards her and said. "If I leave, we will still spend time together, but for now, business and money come first, so I will be able to buy you more things than I have done before. Won't you like that uhn…" Draco pulled her closer, placing a kiss on her lips."It's fine, just that I need to know if you will come around soon. Kimberly would be coming home soon, but then he would be returning for another three weeks to spend with his other wives, and I don't want to be alone." She pouted, clinging tight to him.Kissing her on the lips, smiling broadly he said. "You won't be alone, it's I and you all the way.""Really?!" she jolted, shining her teeth."Yes, really." he crossed her lips with his finger. "Now if you don't mind, I would like to go dress so I can leave. You can close the place for me when you are done.""No problem. A last kiss wouldn't be too much right." She leaned closer for one, till they both shared a deep kiss.Hurriedly, Draco left the place, they had more

“If we aren't careful, we won’t be fine here,” Edwin repeated, settling into the seat while others watched him."Boss, what happened? What's the problem?" Both Draco and Alaric were alert trying to depict the meaning of Edwin's statement "We won't be fine. Klaus is serious about finding Linda, and at this point, he is going to go to any length just to find her. He already promised that if we don't get her, then he doesn't mind breaking the whole city just to get her.""This is serious, but getting a solution shouldn't be too far boss," Draco said hopefully."Hopefully Draco. Hopefully. Klaus is a deadly criminal, but we should be deadlier. But how to go about that I don't know yet." Edwin responded differently."For now, the most important thing is telling Linda to make sure she doesn't violate the rules by going out anywhere." Alaric chipped in, everyone looking slightly confused about what to do next."Let that slide for now, Draco, you need to speed up things with Ciara and Kimbe

"Mr Yen is arriving today, I think we should prepare a place for him instead of him arriving here," Edwin said after receiving the report of the arrival."There is no need to bother about that boss. The Carlos Conglomerate has a hotel here in Eastcliff, it's one of the biggest. We can easily get a presidential suite for Mr Yen.""Really?! The Carlos Conglomerate is that large?!" Edwin was quite surprised that he exclaimed."Yes, boss. There's a lot from Carlos Conglomerate. I'll get going so I won't miss them.""Alright, get going so we pick up from somewhere."Alaric was just about to leave when Draco said. "Should I go with you? I could be a good use, you know. A good company.""You are supposed to be with Kimberly, not mess around," Edwin said with furrowed brows."Sorry, boss. I was merely joking." Draco apologised immediately, while Alaric left.Arriving at the waiting zone, Alaric was quick to get cardboard with a marker on it, he visibly wrote. "Calvin."After about half an hou

The following morning, awoken by an alarm, and the sun escaping through the curtain blinds, Alaric forcefully opened his eyes.It took him some time to recollect what had happened the previous night and where he was, and then he remembered the last person he had spoken to the previous day was Ariana.However, turning his head sideways, he caught the beautiful woman he had married years back, lying close to him and peacefully snoring.Immediately he planted a kiss on her forehead, but she awoke."Rushing somewhere?" she said leaning on her chin."I have to take Mr Yen somewhere as soon as possible.""Hmm… Okay." she was just about sinking back when he said."You are his assistant right? You should be going with him."She immediately threw the blanket on her face. "Gosh, I am. What was I thinking?"Ariana stood up immediately, going to the bathroom. On second thought, she was suddenly remembering that if Mr Yen caught her with Alaric, she wasn't so sure what his reaction would be."Alar

On the other hand, Xander was left to watch over Linda while the others were out.Considering the fact that he was the one placed in charge of watching over her, he tried all he could to keep her in place. However, for two days, she had sealed herself away from all of them, locking herself up in her room."Check on your girlfriend, Xander." That was what the others had said before they left home.But considering her words. "I'm not ready for love, I want revenge," he had the thoughts of stepping back, but he was filled with concern.She had not being out of her room for three days, worry was drawn over him as he wondered if she was really fine."Linda! Linda! Linda!" He called at the front of her door, placing a knock at intervals while he did so."Linda, I know you are in there, you've being in for the past three days, come on open up." he had concern laced in his tone.However, regardless of how much he hit the door, she never came to open it.Xander had to pause for a while, trying

"You want to know why I care this much?" Xander leaned over staring into her Emerald green eye ball, which Linda kept gulping, wondering what was going to happen next."I keep doing this because I care about you. I am in love with you, and you hurt me each time you behave selfishly like you just did. Trying sucide, do you know how many people you actually put in trouble? You put our lives on the line all because you want to kill yourself and end your fucking life!"He sighed heavily. "You just…" he wanted to say more, but then he was pissed, he turned around to leave immediately without batting an eye at her.Linda on the otherhand sank into the bed.**** Meeting with Mr Yen and trying to fit him into the current situation of things.Discussion has being going on for about an hour, and there were still so much to fill Mr Yen into."Alaric, fighting this man would be pretty hard. And with all youve explained about his status, I would say he is a tough criminal. Now, going against him,

"I will get the door Alaric, never mind." Edwin stood up to do as he said. However, approaching the door, he didn't bother checking the loophole, all he wanted instead was to open the door to blast whoever it was, due to the repeated knocking."Why behave like a miscreant?" Edwin yelled out, and opened the door, upon sighting Helen, he slammed the door to her face before she could even say a word. Edwin behaving as thought he saw no one."What the heck does she want from us?" Edwin ranted, locking the door behind them and returning to his seat.Nevertheless, the knock continued, making Alaric's curiosity piqued."Boss, who was it?" Alaric asked, seeming inquisitive."Just some passerby who seemed to take this place for granted." his response didn't sound quite impressive, hence, Alaric asked again the second time."Passerby! Why would a passerby be at our door?" Alaric mumbled, but then the knock kept coming through."Boss!" Alaric softly called, however, Edwin was now more engrossed

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?"

"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
