HIS RESURGENCE Chapter 124
HIS RESURGENCE CHAPTER 124A splash of water on his face woke him up from his forced slumber. He felt a throb on his head and he shut his eyes again to calm himself.He looked towards the direction the splash had come from and saw a huge man standing there, small bowl in hand.“Wakey wakey.” He said, his voice hoarse and familiar.“Where—where am I?”“That’s not really important right now kid. What you should be worried about is where you will be if your mother doesn’t show up within the hour.”Xavier shook his head confused. His mother? What was he talking about? And who was he?“Marcus?” He called out, suddenly remembering why the voice sounded so familiar.The huge man laughed aloud and removed the face mask he wore. “I guess there’s no need for this then.”“What do you want with me? Why have you brought me here?”“Oh I don’t care about you little vermin. All I want is Angelica, and you’re my ticket to getting her, as it has always been.”“What are you talking about?” He asked, hi

HIS RESURGENCE CHAPTER 125The sky lit up for a second, spreading a flash of light over the deep darkness of the rainy night. The sound of thunder echoed in the night sky and birds fluttered to their nests at the sound.The tires schreeched in the wet floor as the car came to a sudden halt. She parked her car away from the building, not wanting to be seen, and carrying an umbrella, she headed for the empty building where he would be waiting after the task was done.She hid in a corner and waited, not making a sound. But her mind wasn’t as silent. Her heart pounded loudly in her chest and her body shivered, not from cold due to the heavy downpour, but from the thought of what she was about to do. She had no choice. She had to do it.Aurora didn’t believe Marcus for a minute. He did t sound convincing enough on the phone when he said he would kill Angelica. He had spent his whole life searching for her and never even bothered to get married and have a family of his own because his hea

HIS RESURGENCE CHAPTER 126 The clear blue sky was a sharp contrast to last night’s heavy downpour. It rained through the night and finally stopped just before dawn. Now there were no traces of gloom, only bright, clear skies with white lumps of cloud and happy birds flying whilst chirping loudly.Aurora slept peacefully last night. She made sure she came home and changed from her wet clothes before her husband returned. She took her time to wash herself and drown the memory of what she had just done under the warm shower.Clad in her silky nightgown, she slid into the bed and shut her eyes. Her mind refused to shut down at first. She kept doubting herself, asking if she had made the right decision to be rid of him.Surely, she had. Marcus was a lose canon and would have sooner exploded, destroying them both. It was a risk she didn’t want to take.She frowned when she realized how alone she was now. Marcus was the o my one who ever really had her back and supported her. Where was Be

HIS RESURGENCE CHAPTER 127Xavier laid back on his chair, his mind deep in thought. Heaps of documents scattered all over his desk but he hadn’t gotten around to looking through any one of them. He couldn’t concentrate.The events of last night ran through his mind. His mother, here in New York! After so many years, what could she possibly want with him.The pain he had had to go through growing up without a mother, having no one to console him when things went wrong-as they often did back then-, having no one to pour his heart to, he grew up not having anyone like that. He didn’t need her now. And Marcus. How did he end up dead? He got up from his chair and stood by the window that overlooked the city.Who was he going to see at that deserted building? From the tickets found at the scene, he was going to flee the city using a fake identity. His plan seemed foolproof. So who killed him? Did he have any more enemies? Was it someone he was working with?A gentle tap on the door broug

HIS RESURGENCE CHAPTER 128Clara headed for the parking lot when she saw Angelica leave. They hadn’t met but Xavier had talked about her while they were together. He had gotten drunk sometimes when his father had made him mad and In those times, he had longed for his mother. He would talk about her then and she would sit there listening to him and comforting him.She quickened her steps and stopped abruptly when she saw Scarlet call out for her.That darn woman!Getting on Angelica’s good side would be an added advantage. If she helped her patch things up with her son, she would want them together and might even help set them up. But it seemed Scarlet beat her to it.She stood behind a car, blocking her from Scarlet’s view. But she could see them clearly, and she burned with anger as she watched.“I should go talk to Aurora.” Just as she turned to leave, she saw Scarlet bump into a strange guy. She was pretty sure she had never seen that face around. But strangely, something about h

HIS RESURGENCE CHAPTER 129Michael entered his office and sat on his chair, whirling it around and thinking to himself. He wanted to know who his father was but there was no one to ask. Marcus was dead, he would have easily gotten the information from him. It was still too early to reveal himself to his mother. He had a feeling that if his father found out who he was, he would turn him over to the police.What he had to do now was ruin Xavier like he ruined him. He wouldn’t be the one to lose again. First, he would target Scarlet. She was the most important person in his life right now and if anything happened to her, Xavier would be broken.But this new identity is so clean, I don’t want to get my hands dirty. I need someone to do the dirty work. Someone with the same motive, who wants Scarlet out of the way.He heard voices talking and followed the sound. It sounded like Clara but he couldn’t recognize the other voice.“Clara, you’re going to get yourself in trouble. You could get

HIS RESURGENCE CHAPTER 130Xavier checked his watch again and tapped his fingers on his laps impatiently. He was running late and his company wasn’t there yet. He should be on his way to the airport by now so he wouldn’t miss his flight to China.“Who’s coming along with me?”“Someone from the marketing team.” The driver replied, afraid that he would lose his job if the culprit didn’t show up now. The boss was already impatient.Clara hurried to the parking lot on her heels, running masterfully with them. Her slender legs were still gorgeous in them even as she ran.“I’m sorry I’m late sir.” She said, entering the car and sitting beside the driver.“Clara?”Xavier was surprised. He checked with the team and knew that someone else would be accompanying him on the business trip. Why was Clara here now? He was uncomfortable and worried majorly about what Scarlet would think if she found out.“Why are you here? Where’s Ella?”“I’m sorry, she had an emergency with her kid. One of them is

HIS RESURGENCE CHAPTER 131Clara sat in a corner of her room, seething with anger. Why did she have to show up now? Everything was going smoothly, they would have been alone in his room and she definitely would have had him.She sipped from her glass of wine and stared at the wall clock. It was already 11pm and sleep was far from her eyes. She needed him. The drink wasn’t even helping.She hadn’t heard Angelica leave. It seemed she would stay with him all night.“Fuck!” She yelled and smashed her glass on the wall.She heard a knock on the door and stood up to quickly pick up the broken glass. Her hands shook and she staggered a little. She was a little drunk now.She left the glass when the knock came again.“Who the fuck is that?” She screamed and opened the door. She clapped a hand over her mouth and her cheeks reddened in embarrassment.“Mr Garrison.”“Micheal.” He peeked through the door and noticed the broken pieces of glass on the floor. “Having a bad night?” He asked“No, I’m

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

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?”“
