HIS RESURGENCE Episode 103
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 RESURGENCE CHAPTER 104“Check the CCTVs around the area, check the ones on every exit as well. 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. 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 106Loud music blared from the speakers and dancers moved in sync with the rhythm, screaming at the top of their lungs. 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. She had a bottle of whiskey in her hand which she drank from as she danced.She needed to forget everything that was going on in her life right now and just party. The world was pissing her off, knocking her off the path she had carved out for herself. But she would prove she was stronger. Her friends had gone into the bathroom with some dudes they picked up here, probably screwing their brains out in there. She wasn’t in the mood for sex and besides, the man she wanted wasn’t anyone else than Xavier. She wanted him more than she had ever wanted anything else.She needed to let off some steam, Xavier’s rejection still hurt her coupled with the fact that

HIS RESURGENCE CHAPTER 108Xavier pulled up in front of the Whitlock mansion. He was starting to show up here more often than he wanted to. This place unsettled him and try as he could, he couldn’t shake off the bad feelings he got whenever he was here. But he had to be here so he could find out how true his memories were. He was barely seven years old when he was abandoned so he was too young to understand and remember all that had happened.If his father could help him fill the missing spaces, perhaps he would be able to find out who that man was and his part in his life.He got out of the car and walked into the house after preparing himself mentally to meet the man who had hated him throughout his life.Mr Whitlock was seated on his favorite chair reading the morning papers, his glasses perched on he ridge of his nose.He cleared his throat to draw the older man’s attention.“Mr Whitlock.”He chuckled to himself and closed the newspaper, placing it on the table in front of him.

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.

HIS RESURGENCE CHAPTER 110They sat, facing each other, not saying a word. Clearly there was much to say but each of them just sat there mulling over their words.The only sound that could be heard was the ticking of the clock in the room, a sound that was becoming increasingly loud and annoying.“Are we doing this or...” Clara said.“Why are you here Clara?” Xavier asked.“Why does everyone keep asking me that? You of all people know how bad my finances are at the moment. I’ve tried getting investors for my business but nothing is working out. You don’t expect me to sit down doing nothing do you?”“So you’re here just because you have no other option and you need money?”Clara went silent for a moment. This was an interview and she knew he would go hard on her because of their history together.“I’m done holding on to the past and I think I’m ready to shut that door now. Right now I want to start over and get my life straight. I’m quite good at making headlines you know, my clothing
