HIS RESURGENCE CHAPTER 22“So, what you’re telling me is that, Dante Butera was killed in the police station and nobody knows who did it? How is that even possible?” Don Alfredo asked in disbelief.“Nothing came up on the security footage. The person who brought in the bottle of water was in the police uniform alright, but he wasn’t one of them. No one knew him. I guess with all the commotion, nobody noticed that he was a stranger. The guy had a face cap on, and he skillfully avoided the cameras. He’s vanished into thin air.” Xavier replied,devastated.“And are you sure Dante was telling the truth, that he wasn’t responsible for the attack in Argentina?”“I don’t think he was lying. We had his family, and the police promised to take care of them. But if he didn’t do it, it only means there’s someone else out there who wants me dead. And I have to find out who that person is.”Don Alfredo walked over to him and patted him on the shoulder. “I wanted to give you a new life. I knew there

HIS RESURGENCE CHAPTER 24Leah grit walked into the fairly dark room. It was broad daylight but the curtains in the room was drawn. From what she could see, it was some sort of study. There were lots of books on several.shelves, a desk and chairs.“Have a seat.” She heard someone say. It was a woman. She was seated at a corner where it would be impossible to make out her face. She could tell from her silhouette that it was a middle aged woman, probably in her early fourties. She looked like a rich woman and her aura exuded power. She sat down, her hands placed on her laps.“You know why you’re here don’t you?” The woman asked.“Yes ma’am.” She replied.“And what exactly is that, tell me?”“I am going to be the face of your newly acquired company. I will only act and make decisions when you instruct me to. I’m the boss on the outside, and I answer to you.”“Very good. You’re a smart one. There’s a deal I need you to acquire. You went to business school so you’re not entirely useless.

HIS RESURGENCE CHAPTER 26"cheer up boy!" Don Alfredo said. "At least we have someone to share the risks with besides, the benefits supersedes the disadvantages."Xavier wasn't at all pleased with the three way partnership but Don Alfredo was right.He relaxed in the car and let his thoughts drift but was soon brought out when she felt a head on his shoulder. That was when he remembered Scarlet was in the car too, seated by him.She had fallen asleep. She must have been exhausted.He looked at her but by then she was fast asleep.She complain about how very uncomfortable her dress was and had stopped to change. She had on a white shirt and jean skirt and her hair was pulled back into a ponytail.She was looking very adorable now, curled up on the back seat with her head on his shoulder .His heart fluttered at the sight. Just like it did when he'd seen her before they came to the dinner. He'd felt that pull he had not been able to explain or define. That hand on his shoulder…and the

HIS RESURGENCE CHAPTER 28"I've told you already Leah, I'm not interested in you." Antonio said.Leah was shocked. He wasn't interested in her? Everyone was interested in her. She was the one everyone turned to. Why was Antonio different?She stammered for a response and before she could speak, he cut her off."Leah. You're very beautiful, but it's not enough. I want something more than that.""I don't see why that's necessary," Leah replied nervously."For me it is. I want someone who is smart, intelligent, thoughtful, generous. The kind of woman that would make me and your mom proud.""I am those things.""You're good, Leah, but not great."Leah found herself speechless, though she was not scared.Just then, Scarlet walked by and Leah noticed how Antonio's eyes lit up at the sight of her. She shivered when his eyes traveled down her petite frame. "Scarlet," he said, hoping to get her attention. " I gotta go." He said, running off to Scarlet, leaving Leah standing there, confused,

HIS RESURGENCE CHAPTER 30Xavier was in no way pleased that Leah was made to oversee the project. Yes, he would enjoy using her to make Scarlet feel uncomfortable (he didn't know why he enjoyed that) but the whole vibes he was getting from Leah in general did not leave much room for happiness. "How annoying." He muttered to himself."I'll hang up now dad. I still have a lot to do." He said in a dull tone."Yeah, that's fine. Do be careful though. I don't want you getting hurt.""I'll be fine dad." He replied calmly."Good. Bye." Xavier heard his dad hang up.He sighed and relaxed on his seat. There was a slight knock on the door and Scarlet came in.Xavier's eyes roamed her body In a quick glance . Her long brown hair brushed the small of her back, and even though she was wearing nothing but a silver coat and jeans, she still had that naughty vibe. He frowned at that, and took a few moments to regather his thoughts."May I?" She asked."What is it Scarlet?"'such a grumpy bear' she
