HIS RESURGENCE CHAPTER 2"How much did he pay you Clara? Just what did he give to you to make you accept his proposal" he pleaded the questions trying once more to reach out to her, he slowly made his way to where she stood. Clara turned away from him, avoiding not just his gaze this time but his questions, his pleas and him entirely."I'm sorry Xavierr, I can't continue with you anymore" she said. "But why?" he asked again extending his hands to her "I'm sorry" she said then moved away from him. "Clara…" he trailed off"Now that's enough!" Mr. Benjamin reprimanded Xavier immediately with a very stern glare. "You will not humiliate my daughter in-law and your brother's wife in my sight"Xavier was so shocked, more than he had ever been before. He was unable to do anything but watch as his life and everything he had built began to shatter right in front of him. Clara bowed to Mr Benjamin and respectively left the room, leaving both men to themselves. Xavier stared at Clara as s

HIS RESURGENCEChapter 4 Those words were not ordinary words to Xavier, he was tempted to leave but he knew he owned nothing to his name and if he dared to leave, his father would definitely make sure that he would bear the consequences.“What do you want?” Xavier finally asked. He turned towards his father, staring at him almost in tears. He has done his best, he has done everything just to please him and now he is exhausted.All he had wanted was to be loved like a son, to be treated like he meant something to them but Alas! Who was he kidding?! He can never measure up to the golden boy; his step brother, Alexander Whitlock.“Go back inside your room and ponder about your life, I want you to think hard and think of the effect of last night and how it has affected us” his father said.“Exactly what I intend to do but I intend to do that outside, I would be back soon” Xavier replied. Left for him he would have left the house but he couldn’t, not yet, until he finds a means of living

HIS RESURGENCEChapter 6Xavier was angry as he moved away from his father and the Smith family.His father hadn’t only ruined his life but had also made a marriage arrangement for him without his consent. He clenched his fists as he kept on walking.He bumped into someone without noticing as he was walking blindly, deep in thoughts."I'm sorry”He said without taking note of whom he bumped into, all he was centered on was leaving the premises.He snatched a drink from the tray carried by one of the waiters passing by, he gulped down its contents and then dropped the glass back on the tray. Xavier didn't care what people were saying about him anymore, he just wanted to leave. He could still hear their snickers and murmurs but those were the least of his problems at the moment.He undid his tie and unbuttoned his suit as if to release the tension and anger he was feeling.Why should he care about how he looked when it's not his wedding besides no one would notice him anyways aside fr

HIS RESURGENCE CHAPTER 8Xavier woke up to the beeping of the ECG. He slowly opened his eyes and tried to make sense of the unfamiliar environment he was in. He looked at his hands and saw that a drip had been connected to his veins.“Ughh. I’ve been winding up in hospitals lately .“ he thought to himself. But this time around, he felt like shit. His head pounded as though he had been hit by a truck. And then the memory came flooding in.He remembered running into David and getting an envelop from him. He remembered opening the envelop and being run over by a car.“What the hell. Here I was thinking my life couldn’t get any worse”The door opened and a nurse walked in.“You’re awake” the nurse stated, a hint of relief in her voice.“ how long have I been here?” He asked impatiently “ it’s been three days sir. You’ve been unconscious for three days . You were hit by a car and you fell pretty hard . The impact was quite severe but you recovered quickly .“Xavier stopped listening whe

HIS RESURGENCE CHAPTER 10It has been a week since Xavier’s meeting with Lisa. The day he dreaded was not so far away anymore. He did not want to marry Lisa. He knew he would never be happy if he did. On one hand, he was trying to deal with his own family treating him like a piece of trash. Lisa’s family wasn’t any different. Mr Smith already made it clear what he thought about him during his last visit and even at his brother’s wedding reception. To them he was just a worthless kid whose only good quality was having the Whitlock name. He was nothing more than an inconvenience they had to put up with for the sake of the sake of their business.Xavier’s mind wandered as he dressed up for a meeting with a potential client. He planned to stop by the bar after his meeting. He had been meeting up with Don Alfredo quite frequently and they had formed a bond. Mr Hernandez treated him like a father more than his own father had treated him his whole life. Mr Hernandez was smart and had a lo
