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.

We need to find out who did this.” Xavier said in the control room where he waited with the security guards, his chest heaving angrily.Who was it that had placed that bloody note in front of his door? What did they mean by their warning? What were they referring to?Scarlet sat in the lobby with don Alfredo. She was shaken up by the weird note and it scared her to her bones. She rested her head on Don Alfredo’s shoulder and he patted her, soothing her and calming her frail nerves.Xavier came out of the control room, still looking agitated. He shook his head sideways indicating that the surveillance cameras hadn’t been helpful.“Nothing?” Don asked“Nothing Dad. There was nothing out of the ordinary in the footage. Only the workers have gone in and out of the building and they each underwent security check before they were allowed to work at this event.” He replied, ruffling his hair i

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.

Tables were filled with booze and empty bottles of alcohol, the drunk clubbers drinking and chatting away.Clara moved with the music and her heartbeat echoed the bass thump from the speakers.
