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 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

HIS RESURGENCE CHAPTER 113The desk was littered with heaps of files and documents waiting to be reviewed. Since they were all new to the team, they were asked to get up to speed with the company’s policies, past and present projects.Clara sat down, her back resting on the chair and her legs spread out. She was obviously exhausted and do were her colleagues.“We’re finally done with these, now let’s finish up the plans for the company’s gala. Any ideas?” Mrs Ella White, the team leader asked.Everyone stared at each other in silence, too tired to make any sensible contribution. Clara raised up her hands and stood up.“I think we should have a masked ball. It’ll be fun and different from the usual. I’m sure a lot of people will be excited to show up for that. I mean, who doesn’t like a little mystery?”Everyone nodded their heads in agreement.“The more people we have in attendance, the wider our product’s reach. We can do a screen show about our newest project and get people to patr

HIS RESURGENCE CHAPTER 114The guests were obviously having a great time at the ball. You could hear the hearty chatter and clinking of glasses over the soft classical music playing at the background.The hall was tastefully designed and the colors of beautiful gowns and dresses shone as bright as the chandeliers hanging from the ceiling.There was silence in the hall and all faces looked up at the staircase where the man of the hour stood, a beautiful woman in hand. Xavier descended the stairs amidst applause from the guests.Scarlet looked radiant too and a smile lit up her face. She had her arm entwines with Xavier’s and he led her carefully down the stairs. She smiled at him and mouthed a thank you.“Ladies and gentlemen,” Xavier began. “I welcome you all to our first ever ball, in celebration of our achievement in the short years of our opening here in New York. I would like to thank everyone of you who have contributed one way or another to our growth and success. I hope for a

HIS RESURGENCE CHAPTER 115The room seemed to reduce in size and the ventilation did nothing to cool up the atmosphere. It was just as he expected, but somehow it still shocked him. He sat back down and tried to push the thoughts aside, but he could not. He felt like screaming but he couldn’t do that now. Scarlet was close by and he didn’t want her to find out what he has just learned. He didn’t want her revisiting the incident.He was right all along, the voice he had heard was familiar and he had tried to connect the dots. Now everything was much clearer. He remembered Benjamin Whitlock’s words when they met at the cafe outside the building.“I’m sorry I called you out here in the middle of work.” He started. “But there’s something I think you should know.”“What is it?” Xavier replied“That man you asked me about. Marcus, your step father for the while your mother was married to him, I know him quite well.”Xavier shifted to the edge of his seat. They never did conclude their dis

His Resurgence CHAPTER 116Scarlet took another glance at Xavier, he had been acting weird abt there was something off about his mood even though he did his best to hide it. She wondered what could have happened to make him so glum.She snakes her fingers in his and he turned his gaze from the road and looked at her. She smiled reassuringly at him and he reciprocated her action, and then he turned back to the road almost immediately.“Are you alright?” Scarlet asked, worry creasing her face. “You seem to be in a sour mood.”“I’m fine.” He replied, not looking at her.Xavier didn’t want to tell her about his findings. He wanted to keep her as far away from this mess as possible. Everything had happened because of him and he didn’t want to drag her into this, especially since Marcus was a very dangerous man. He had carried out an investigation on him and had seen the numerous crimes he had been charged with. Drug trafficking, illegal gambling, robbery, fraud and god knows what else. On

HIS RESURGENCE CHAPTER 117Aurora stormed into Benjamin’s room and flung the door open. She was obviously in a sour mood. Benjamin looked up from the the mini study he had in his room when he heard the noise. What was that about?“You have the nerve to rat me out Benjamin. How could you do that?”“What are you talking about?” He asked wiping the glasses that sat on his nose and putting them on again.“You met up with Xavier and told him of my involvement with Scarlet’s kidnap.” She replied heaving with anger.“So his suspicions were right after all. All I did was tell him about Marcus. He was curious about his childhood and has been having memories of him lately. He figured out that Marcus was behind the kidnap on his own and that alone implicates you automatically.”Aurora pulled up a chair and sat across from him. “You shouldn’t have told him about my relationship with Marcus. That was what set everything in motion.”“Xavier is a smart man. Wether I had told him or not, he would ha
