Come out little brother!” He calledAlfredo stepped out of his room into the living room where his brother sat, his walking staff beside him.“I’m an old man now Rodriguez, I don’t think ‘little brother ‘ suits me anymore”. He replied with a chuckle.“You’ll always be a little brother to me Alfredo. Come, sit.”“Your leg still giving you problems?” Alfredo asked pointing at his walking staff resting on the chair.“Yep. But I’m still up and about. It’d take more than a bad leg to keep this old man down. Rodriguez replied, half laughing.“I can see that. What brings you by after all this time brother?” Alfredo asked.“I don’t need a reason to come visit my little brother now do I? Besides, I heard you’ve just been discharged from the ho

HIS RESURGENCE CHAPTER 13Mr Alfredo paced from one corner of his room to the other. He was deep in thought. He did not like the news that greeted him that morning. He knew for certain now that someone was after his life.Xavier woke up from his troubled sleep. He had dark circles around his eyes. His sleep was plagued with nightmares. He hardly got any sleep. It didn’t help that he had had too much to drink. It turned out that his nightmares where actually memories from when he was little. His whole life had been a nightmare.Well, all of that was about to change.He helped himself to a glass of water, washed up and came down to the living room. He met Alfredo in a sour mood.“Everything alright?” He asked. Alfredo turned to face him and shook his head. “Miriam is dead.

HIS RESURGENCE CHAPTER 17Rodriguez reached out for the bottle of brandy in front of him. His face contorted as he gulped down the contents. He replaced the empty glass on the table and picked up his phone.“What should I do now? Should I call Nathaniel and inform him of his uncle’s decision to give the company to a stranger? Would he finally be concerned about the company if he finds out?”He stood up and paced about the room. “If I tell him about it, I’d also have to tell him about the things I’ve done to take back the company. That will only put him at risk. If I get caught he’d be treated as my accomplice. I’m doing all of this for him so I cannot afford to get him into trouble.‘I just have to infiltrate the company.
