THE HEIR CHAPTER 101THE PRESENT Benjamin Whitlock sat on his bed and leaned back on the pile of soft pillows he made underneath him. He hadn’t thought about the past for years. He had done his best to push the memories out of his mind and focus on what truly mattered.But Aurora had leveled so many accusations against him which got him thinking if there were any truths to them.When he found Xavier standing at his door many years ago, it hadn’t taken him long to figure out who he was. He just had that knowing, a connection he couldn’t explain. But he was blinded by rage.How could she do that to him? He had searched for her all over after those pictures were shown to him. He was ready to talk to her, let her explain things herself because he knew that Aurora would do everything within her power to tear them apart. So he searched for her.When he eventually found her three months later, she said words that sounded like a volcanic eruption, too explosive to contain. And it had torn

HIS RESURGENCE CHAPTER 103The event had been as big as he was told. Dignitaries from all parts of the continent were in attendance. Governors, business tycoons, the press and everyone that mattered were all present at the center. The Don was right, no one would pass up the chance to be captured and televised for their good deeds and involvement in charity. For most, it was all about getting good press for their personal ambition and not necessarily their genuine interest for the cause.It didn’t matter though.Everything that had happened that day slipped by in a blur. He couldn’t pay attention to the event, something else distracted him.He glanced towards the source of his distraction now, seating across from him and he breathed deeply, loosening his tie a little for better passage of air.With everything that had been happening recently, Xavier had completely forgotten the event his father had told him to attend in Los Angeles. His company was a major sponsor and it was important

HIS RESURGENCE CHAPTER 105She drove as fast as she could to meet up with the last minute flight she had booked. She had to leave New York tonight so she could meet him tomorrow. The thought that he was traveling alone with that woman angered her to boiling point. She had to be there and get Xavier distracted, she couldn’t afford to leave him at the mercy of that witch.Xavier’s words when he left her at the bar kept echoing in her head. How could he have refused her touch, her kisses and her body. She had all but throw herself at him and he made her feel like a fool. Was he really in love with Scarlet?She was thankful that she got the information just in time. Nelson had been angry to see her at his favorite drinking spot. She had followed him knowing he would go there to rewind after the day’s work before heading home to his wife.“I’ve got nothing to say to you.” He said and continued sipping his drink, completely ignoring her.Clara anticipated his reaction and was prepared to

HIS RESURGENCE CHAPTER 107FIVE MONTHS AGOBeverly hotels and suit had been closed down since the incident. A murder was no joke, and since the victim was someone reputable, it had been all over the news.Three months since the horrific incident and things were yet to settle down. It wasn’t just the murder but a chain of other crimes had been dug up that ruined the hotel beyond repair.During the investigations to find out who Mr Gabriel Sullivan’s murderer was, the police had discovered other criminal activities that took place at the hotel.The owner, Gerald Kings had built the place as a secret and safe haven for top personalities like politicians, prosecutors, and businessman to do business without the fear of being traced. But patronizers took advantage of the fact that there were no checks or cameras and soon, underground businesses began to take place there. Several drug deals were carried out and other illegal businesses thrived.Mr kings found out about these deals and succ

HIS RESURGENCE CHAPTER 109The text was probably a prank. Someone was just trying to get her scared or maybe extort money from her. They hadn’t messaged her again since then, maybe because they didn’t have any proof.That hotel wasn’t under any sort of surveillance, she had checked and had confirmed it. No record of any transaction or meetings were kept, that was the attraction of the place. It was the perfect place for a murder. No one saw her, she was certain of it. And even if they did, her disguise had been fool proof. No one would know it was her.She picked up Her phone and deleted the message. There was no reason to be frightened, she had covered her tracks well.She entered the kitchen and fixed a light breakfast for herself. She had to go see Xavier today. She hadn’t seen him since the bloody note she left at their door, she was scared Nelson might have said something to him, but the cops hadn’t showed up at her doorstep and no one had questioned her about the incident.
