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 107FIVE MONTHS AGOBeverly hotels and suit had been closed down since the incident. A murder was no joke, and since the victim was someone reputable, it had been all over the news.Three months since the horrific incident and things were yet to settle down. It wasn’t just the murder but a chain of other crimes had been dug up that ruined the hotel beyond repair.During the investigations to find out who Mr Gabriel Sullivan’s murderer was, the police had discovered other criminal activities that took place at the hotel.The owner, Gerald Kings had built the place as a secret and safe haven for top personalities like politicians, prosecutors, and businessman to do business without the fear of being traced. But patronizers took advantage of the fact that there were no checks or cameras and soon, underground businesses began to take place there. Several drug deals were carried out and other illegal businesses thrived.Mr kings found out about these deals and succ

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

HIS RESURGENCE CHAPTER 111Scarlet watched as the blood drained out of Clara’s face and she became ashen white. Her breathing rate increased too and it looked like she would pass out. Her mood had changed suddenly at the meeting when she received a message on her phone.Xavier saw it too and she could tell that he was just as suspicious. What had Clara gotten herself into this time?“I’m sorry, I need to use the restroom.” She said and left the room hurriedly before she or Xavier could say anything.Xavier turned and looked at Scarlet. She nodded and stood up from her seat.“I’ll go right ahead, I have a meeting scheduled and I’m due in a few minutes.” Scarlet said and left the office.She walked to the ladies bathroom and entered. She bumped into a hysterical Clara and her phone fell on the floor.“Oops, my mistake.” Scarlet said reaching down to pick it up for her. Clara quickly pushed her hand away and picked up the phone before scarlet got to it.“It’s fine, I’ll get it myself.
HIS RESURGENCE Episode 112
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

How dare she try to play him for a fool?He opened his car and made to come out but was stopped as another car drove into the compound. He recognized the car and its owner. What was he doing here too?He waited for him to go inside the building and watched from behind. “So,they really were making plans behind to betray me? He asked himself. Nathaniel was going inside when he heard someone call his name, stopping him in his tracks. It was Scarlet.“You got a minute? “ she asked, heading towards him“You really shouldn’t be here right now.” He said, eyeing her. “You may not get out of here alive.”“Why’s that? She replied with the same expression. “Sounds like I’m being threatened.”Nathaniel pu
Episode 150
HIS RESURGENCECHAPTER 150Police sirens rented the air, breaking the silence of the night. They drove at top speed behind Scarlet’s car towards the crime scene. Someone had been shot.Scarlet had called the cops when she heard the gunshot over the phone. She didn’t like Aurora one bit, but she didn’t wish death on her, especially not at the hand of her own son.Mr Whitlock had been with her when she called. He had seen her car parked outside the restaurant and knew something was happening inside. He hadn’t wanted to stop by but he did just to see what she was doing there. And then he had heard Aurora talking with Clara about everything she had done. The fact that she had no remorse brought bile to his throat and he fought the urge to throw up.How could she have deceived him for over twenty years? How did he not know about it and about Alex’s condition. How negligent had he been of his home and his kids?So after he had heard everything and confronted her, he needed to get away. He c

His RESURGENCECHAPTER 149“You were right about Alex.” Clara said when Aurora had sat down and ordered a drink. “He really acted strange yesterday and almost choked me to death. The sooner we get rid of him, the better.”“Did you doubt me?” Aurora asked, sipping from her glass of wine.“I don’t exactly trust you, you know that.”“I don’t either, but we’ve only got each other. What do you think Alex is going to do to you when he gets what he wants? You know definitely that he’s not going to keep you around.”“And will you? If I help you get the company, will you not ditch me also? He’s your son after all, I’m sure that being unreliable is in your gene.”“You’ll be by my side after all this, I can guarantee that. Just, help me set up an appointment with the stakeholders and shareholders if you can. You work there so I’m sure you have your ways.”“I’ll do my best. When will you expose Alex?”“Soon. If he’s exposed and gets locked up in a mental hospital, I don’t have to worry about my
Episode 148
HIS RESURGENCE CHAPTER 148“No, no, NO! It can’t be. She would never betray me like that. She wouldn’t do that to her own son. How could she? “Clara stared at him, her mouth open. She had never seen him so hyperactive and angry. This wasn’t normal. Aurora was right, Alex was sick.“Calm down Alex. We’re still at the office. You don’t want to draw so much attention do you?”Alex stopped and stared out the window, suddenly sullen and calm.“Fine then. We’ll need to eliminate everyone who’s after my company. Whitlock corporation cannot be buried and destroyed. Since it has been merged with Hernandez conglomerates, I have a right to it. I’ll get it by all means.”“What are you going to do?” Clara asked.“Nathaniel cannot sell this company. And my mother can’t have it either. That greedy bitch!” He fumed, grabbing on to the window blinds and squeezing it until he hurt himself.“Alex, you’re bleeding, stop it.”He looked at the cut in his hand and chuckled. “It’s been a long time since I

HIS RESURGENCE CHAPTER 147“You’re late.” Aurora said as Clara pulled up a chair and sat down across from her. Clara looked around, taking in the view.“Nice place, I guess you’ve still got some money to spare.” Aurora’s face whitened and colour completely faded. What if Clara was actually behind the blackmail?“Why? Are you short of cash, need money?”Clara laughed and pushed back the strand of hair that fell loosely on her face. “Who doesn’t want money? Isn’t that why you asked me to help you get your hands on Xavier’s company?”Aurora’s eyes widened and she looked around to make sure no one was listening in. “You shouldn’t say that out loud. It’s not a private place.”“You shouldn’t hide your greed Aurora, we’re the same, and that’s why I’m going to help you. But there’s only one problem though, Micheal.”“Alex?”“He doesn’t go by that name anymore.”“That’s what he told me. He wants nothing to do with me Clara, he hates me.”“You’ll be going up against him if you fight for the c

HIS RESURGENCE CHAPTER 146Aurora checked her watch again. It was way past the time they agreed on. He was running late and she was getting apprehensive. She had to get back home before Benjamin returned. Lately, she felt like he was watching her and she could not afford to skip. She had made countless reckless decisions that could come back to haunt her if she wasn’t careful.Like now, she was in big trouble.She got a call from a strange person early that day and was shocked to the bone with what the person knew about her. The voice was manipulated of course so she didn’t know who it was.“I know you’re a killer Aurora. How could you kill your own family?” The caller asked and let out a cackling laughter.Aurora has dropped the phone in shock and ended the call, shaking to the bone. He called again.“Surprised?” He asked when she picked up the second time.“Who are you?”“Why do people ask that when they know they’re not going to get a reply?”“What do you want?”“Now that’s a be
Episode 145
HIS RESURGENCECHAPTER 145Scarlet could not remember the last time she had slept so soundly. She had nightmares every night and was afraid to close her eyes ever since Xavier left her. Sometimes, Angelica would come over and stay with her. It hurt her to see her daughter-in-law so broken and lost. She felt it too.But last night was different. She slept peacefully and woke up to the loud chirping of birds outside her window. The sun was already up in the sky when she arose. She felt light and free, like a huge burden had been taken from her, she actually felt happy.Why was she feeling this way so suddenly? Did she have a good dream last night?And then she remembered.No, it couldn’t have been just a dream. It just couldn’t.She pushed the blanket off of her and hurried out of the room and down the stairs, Her heart pounding in her chest. The house was empty. There was no one in the living room or in the study.Last night just had to be real.She stopped in her tracks, her hand cov

HIS RESURGENCE CHAPTER 144The room looked really strange. It was beautiful, simple yet elegant. The designs and furnishings were definitely done by an expert. He would know because he worked with buildings. But this touch was quite different from anything he had ever seen.He sat up and pushed the velvety blanket off of him so he could get up, but he couldn’t move his legs. They seemed to be too heavy now. His head ached too and he reached up to touch it. He felt bandages wrapped around his head.What was going on? How did he get there? And where was he exactly?He laid back down and covered himself quickly but quietly when he heard footsteps outside the room. The door opened a second later and a woman walked in, a tray in hand. He peeped through his half open eyes and saw that she was dressed as a nurse. There were fresh bandages and first aid. He eased up a bit and opened his eyes.“Where am I?” He askedThe nurse jumped, startled and placed a hand on her chest. She breathed in r
Episode 143
HIS RESURGENCE CHAPTER 143They stood next to each other, neither of them saying a word. Aurora was still in shock. She had been trying to find him for a while now and everything she did yielded nothing. She always cane to a dead end. She had already decided in her mind that her son was dead and there was nothing she could do about it. Never in her wildest dreams did she think he would do something this extreme.Changing your identity, your face and your name, that took a lot of guts and sacrifice. But she couldn’t blame him though. He didn’t want to go to jail and the only way to escape prison was to become someone else.She wanted to say so much, but she held herself back. She couldn’t risk him getting caught.Micheal looked around to make sure no one was close by. He opened his car and got in, signaling her to do the same.“I can’t risk being seen with you. It would raise suspicion for sure.”“Where have you been Son? And what did you do to your face? Why do you look like this?”“
