HIS RESURGENCE CHAPTER 92Nelson withers knocked at Xavier’s office and went in on Xavier’s permission. He looked around his office and then on his desk. He smiled when he noticed that the heap of files that had been stacked on his desk had reduced drastically. There were only two of them left. He had been afraid he wouldn’t be able to make it.Xavier looked up from his computer and nodded a greeting to him, smiling equally. Nelson worked in his company as the head of finance. He was really good at his job and had received an award for the employee of the year. He was getting married now and tonight was his bachelors party. He had invited all his friends and colleagues at the office, especially Xavier.Xavier and Nelson went to college together, although Xavier was a year ahead of him.

HIS RESURGENCE CHAPTER 94The only time he had experienced fear beyond his capacity to handle, to the point that he cried, was when his mother had left him in front of Mr whitlock’s mansion when he was seven years old. The memory was faint now and he could barely remember her face or her expression when she abandoned him there, promising to come back for him but never got around to doing so even at this very moment. He had been so lost and confused, he just stood there, letter and DNA test results in hand and tears in his eyes. His mother had been gone for an hour now and there was still no sign of her. The whitlocks had driven in thirty minutes later and were surprised to find a boy who had a striking resemblance with Benjamin, and a birthmark on the shoulder that matched the one on his, standing at their front door. He had no idea what to expect, but he handed over the letter to the man whom her mother had told her was his real father and looked around in fear. A woman stood be

HIS RESURGENCE CHAPTER 96Sirens blared in the darkness and the silent woods became agog with cacophonous sounds. The woods lit up with the flashes from the police vehicles that had surrounded the little shack.They had arrived just in time to hear a gun go off and a high pitched shriek from a woman whom they figured was the captive. They separated themselves into two teams, one stayed out in front, guns pointed and ready to fire if the abductor tried to escape and the other team pushed open the door and went inside in search of the criminal.There was blood on the floor. Someone had been shot but no body was in sight. The shot was not fatal.The police looked around and saw a woman wrapped in a man’s arms, his hand shielding her and comforting her.“Where is he?” One of the men asked.“He fled.” Xavier replied. “I shot him in the leg, but he got away immediately he heard you arrive. He’s hurt, but he know these woods.”“He couldn’t have gone far with a bullet in his leg. We’ll find

HIS RESURGENCECHAPTER 98Drops of golden rays filled the room creating patterns of light on the walls. The air smelt of freshly brewed coffee and cakes. A voice hummed softly in the kitchen and as he descended the stairs, he wished each morning could be just like this.Scarlet turned and almost bumped into a shirtless figure standing behind her. She had been too busy to notice him walk in.“I’m sor..ry, my bad.” She said quickly He moved towards the kitchen counter and grabbed a glass, not saying a word. He opened the fridge and poured himself a glass of water.“There’s coffee and some snacks if you want.”“I’m good, thanks.” He replied and went upstairs. Scarlet sat down at the table and ate quickly. She hadn’t come in her car and she had to get to work too, she didn’t want to be left behind.Xavier came down a few minutes later already dressed and ready for the office.“Don’t leave without me.”“I have to catch up with a meeting..”“Don’t leave without me.”“Scarlet..”“I get tha

THE HEIRCHAPTER 100THIRTY TWO YEARS AGO Angelica woke up feeling nauseous and unsteady. She tried to sit up and grab the glass of water on the table next to the bed. She reached for the glass but felt nothing. Surprised, she turned to her side table in search of it. She never went to bed without a bottle of water next to her.Her eyes widened in shock at the realization that she wasn’t in the right apartment. Where was she? Whose bedroom was this and how had she gotten there?She tried to recollect and retrace where she had been and what she had done in the last twenty four hours but her mind was as blank as the pages of a new book. Her head ached as she tried to force the memories back. She winced in pain and held on to her head.“Don’t try so hard Angelica, you’ll hurt yourself.”She turned, frozen by the voice she heard. One she thought she had escaped for good. How did he find her again?She jolted out of the bed and almost fell back down. The room spun and this time she though
