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

HIS RESURGENCECHAPTER 118“Where have you been?” She heard a voice ask immediately she entered the house. Scarlet was exhausted already and wasn’t really in the mood to talk but she knew he would misunderstand her if she didn’t say anything. Xavier had been quite edgy this past few days and he didn’t want to tell her what was going on with him. Honestly, she was feeling quite distant and it seemed they were slowly pulling apart. She didn’t want that, but she needed Xavier to make a move too, at least to show that he wanted her around him.She took off her heels and sat on the sofa, rubbing her foot. “I went out to see a friend.” She replied, not wanting to go into the details. She could tell that Xavier didn’t like Felix one bit. She wondered if it was because he sensed that she wasn’t comfortable around him and was just trying to protect her or if it was because he was jealous that another guy wanted

HIS RESURGENCECHAPTER 119Xavier closed the documents he was looking over and shut down his computer. Who was he kidding? He wasn’t focused and had been reading a single page in the last thirty minutes. He hadn’t been himself since the argument with scarlet.‘Should I call her? Where would she be right now? I hope she’s home.’ He thought to himself.When she left, he sat down and evaluated everything she had said to him. She was right,and he had been wrong to accuse her like that without any concern for her feelings. He had hurt her and it was all because of his jealousy.Yes, seeing them both together at the restaurant had angered him. He claimed that he did not have any feelings for her then why did it affect him like that? Who was he fooling?He felt sorry for taking it out on her but he couldn’t call her right now. She probably wouldn’t pick up the phone.His phone rang and he check

HIS RESURGENCE CHAPTER 120ASIAThe room was a small one with little ventilation. The only source of light in the room was a small opening in the wall that served as a window, but it was more or less like a peep hole, just enough to allow air enter the room so that the occupants would stay alive.That was where he had lived, for days which turned into weeks until he could no longer take it. He had to get out, had to find his way back home, back to his life where he lacked nothing.Here, he was a common beggar. He lived on the street and found his food in the trash. His home was that little room, along with others like him who had lost everything they had.No one knew him here in this small village and it was a miracle he was able to make it here. He had been smuggled by sea into the country weeks ago to begin a new life. His old one had been ruined beyond redemption, and the people behind it would pay dearly.He sat down in that little room one fine sunset, peeping through the little

The owner of the office was punching away on her computer, her attention fully focused.She was the CEO of Stellar couture, a fashion designing brand that was well known in London.A gentle tap on her door caused her to look up, her eyes leaving the designs she was sketching.“Ma’am.” Lucian called. “The private investigator is here to see you.”“Let him in.” She replied, trying to hide the excitement in her voice.She shut down her computer, knowing she wouldn’t be able to focus until she got the report she had been waiting for.“Detective Carson. Have a seat.” She said, motioning towards the chair across from her.“We found him.” He said sitting down.Her heart leapt. Finally, she had located her son after years of searching. “Where is he?” She asked.“He is in New York, and he’s now the owner of the Whitlock corporation, more like he bought it over.”“He wasn’t

He saw some movements in the house through the window and he smiled to himself. This was becoming a lot more fun.How could she have tried to deceive him? 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
Episode 146
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?”“
