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

His RESURGENCE CHAPTER 132“I must be crazy.” Clara thought to herself, pacing her hotel room. She looked at the man lying shirtless on her bed, the blanket covering his naked lower part.She remembered drinking too much and did not forget when she agreed to sleep with him. What confused her was the fact that Micheal felt familiar.His touch, his kisses, his lovemaking. It felt as though she had been with this man before. But Micheal was a man she had never met.“Who does he remind me of?” She asked herself, her eyebrows furrowed.It felt like Alex, her ex husband. She would know better. She was married to him for over two years.But Alex could as well be dead. Nobody knew where he was or had any contact with him. And she was certain that Alex would not survive without his family’s support. The cops were after him and there was no way he would show up here again if he wanted to stay out of jail.“I mean, it’s not like he would have done surgery on his face just to avoid the police.”

HIS RESURGENCE CHAPTER 133“Someone’s on to you Alex.” Riles said immediately he answered the phone. “They’ve been doing some digging and they know your identity is fake.”“Who are they?”“I don’t know yet. I think he was hired though, a private investigator maybe.”“What does he know?”“He only knows you’re not Micheal. They found out that the owner of that name is dead, my boys had no choice but to tell em. I’m sorry man.”“It’s okay. I think I have an idea who it is.”“Will you be okay?”“Yes, I’ll be fine. They don’t know who I really am, you better keep it that way.”“Yes boss.”Micheal hung up the phone and sat on his bed in the hotel. They had a meeting that morning and he had to get ready for it. It had to be Clara. He knew he made a mistake last night but he just couldn’t help it. Sleeping with her wasn’t part of the plan but he had done it anyway.He remembered seeing her reach for the covers that morning. Yes, she probably had her suspicions now.He got dressed and headed

HIS RESURGENCE CHAPTER 134“We need to leave. There’s not much time left anymore.” Scarlet said amidst sobs.Xavier stared at her, confusion etched on his face. He had expected a warm welcome after being apart for days. But it seemed something was terribly wrong.“Scarlet, please calm down and take a deep breath. What’s wrong?”D-don. Its worsened and it’s really bad. He won’t make it.” She replied, barely coherent enough to be heard.“What? How? He was getting treatment and he said he was getting better. “He picked up his phone and tried to call him. He was never too sick to answer the phone. There had to be a mistake somewhere. He would answer the phone and they would talk as usual.But the phone rang without any response.No, not now. This couldn’t be happening now when everything was finally falling into place. He was supposed to get better so they could live happily together.“We have to go see him Xavier! We need to see him right now.”“Max!” Xavier called, his voice shaking w
