HIS RESURGENCE CHAPTER 112TWENTY NINE YEARS AGOAurora paced the dimly lit hotel room biting into her nails and bruising herself. She hardly felt the impact of her bite because her mind and body had been numbed by the troubles she was in. She was lost in thought and panic shook her small frame.How had she gotten herself into such a huge mess? How would she get out of it? Her parents were struggling to save the company and they were barely out of the waters yet even with her marriage to Benjamin Whitlock.If news of this were to get out, she would be ruined, her family, their reputation, the company and even her marriage. This would be the biggest scandal to hit the news this year.She stopped pacing when she heard a knock on the door. She listened again to make sure that it wasn’t anyone else knocking.”The knock came again, three knocks, a pause and then one more. It was him.She rushed to the door and opened it.“Thank God you’re here!” A hysterical Aurora said shuddering and the

HIS RESURGENCE CHAPTER 114The guests were obviously having a great time at the ball. You could hear the hearty chatter and clinking of glasses over the soft classical music playing at the background.The hall was tastefully designed and the colors of beautiful gowns and dresses shone as bright as the chandeliers hanging from the ceiling.There was silence in the hall and all faces looked up at the staircase where the man of the hour stood, a beautiful woman in hand. Xavier descended the stairs amidst applause from the guests.Scarlet looked radiant too and a smile lit up her face. She had her arm entwines with Xavier’s and he led her carefully down the stairs. She smiled at him and mouthed a thank you.“Ladies and gentlemen,” Xavier began. “I welcome you all to our first ever ball, in celebration of our achievement in the short years of our opening here in New York. I would like to thank everyone of you who have contributed one way or another to our growth and success. I hope for a

His Resurgence CHAPTER 116Scarlet took another glance at Xavier, he had been acting weird abt there was something off about his mood even though he did his best to hide it. She wondered what could have happened to make him so glum.She snakes her fingers in his and he turned his gaze from the road and looked at her. She smiled reassuringly at him and he reciprocated her action, and then he turned back to the road almost immediately.“Are you alright?” Scarlet asked, worry creasing her face. “You seem to be in a sour mood.”“I’m fine.” He replied, not looking at her.Xavier didn’t want to tell her about his findings. He wanted to keep her as far away from this mess as possible. Everything had happened because of him and he didn’t want to drag her into this, especially since Marcus was a very dangerous man. He had carried out an investigation on him and had seen the numerous crimes he had been charged with. Drug trafficking, illegal gambling, robbery, fraud and god knows what else. On

HIS RESURGENCECHAPTER 118“Where have you been?” She heard a voice ask immediately she entered the house. Scarlet was exhausted already and wasn’t really in the mood to talk but she knew he would misunderstand her if she didn’t say anything. Xavier had been quite edgy this past few days and he didn’t want to tell her what was going on with him. Honestly, she was feeling quite distant and it seemed they were slowly pulling apart. She didn’t want that, but she needed Xavier to make a move too, at least to show that he wanted her around him.She took off her heels and sat on the sofa, rubbing her foot. “I went out to see a friend.” She replied, not wanting to go into the details. She could tell that Xavier didn’t like Felix one bit. She wondered if it was because he sensed that she wasn’t comfortable around him and was just trying to protect her or if it was because he was jealous that another guy wanted

HIS RESURGENCE CHAPTER 120ASIAThe room was a small one with little ventilation. The only source of light in the room was a small opening in the wall that served as a window, but it was more or less like a peep hole, just enough to allow air enter the room so that the occupants would stay alive.That was where he had lived, for days which turned into weeks until he could no longer take it. He had to get out, had to find his way back home, back to his life where he lacked nothing.Here, he was a common beggar. He lived on the street and found his food in the trash. His home was that little room, along with others like him who had lost everything they had.No one knew him here in this small village and it was a miracle he was able to make it here. He had been smuggled by sea into the country weeks ago to begin a new life. His old one had been ruined beyond redemption, and the people behind it would pay dearly.He sat down in that little room one fine sunset, peeping through the little
