HIS RESURGENCE CHAPTER 14Rodriguez was seething with anger as he drove back to his house. His brother had just chosen a total stranger over his own nephew and had handed over his father’s legacy to someone else.‘I’m done playing nice Alfredo. This is the height of it.’ He thought to himself. He picked up his phone and dialed his son’s number. The phone rang endlessly but no one answered. He dialed it again and this time,someone picked up.“Hello, Nath can’t come to the phone right now, he’s busy.” A female voice spoke. Alfredo could barely hear what she said because there was so much noise at the background. It was obvious Nathaniel was out partying as he usually did.Rodriguez threw his phone on the empty seat next to him. If only his son knew that he was at the verge of losing his birthright, he wouldn’t be out partying and wasting away the little money they had left.He wished he had been more involved in the business before his father drew up his will. He wished he had succee

HIS RESURGENCE CHAPTER 15Xavier and Don Alfredo’s flight landed in Los Angeles at midday. They had called the head office and informed them to set up a meeting with the board of directors before getting on the plane. Don Alfredo had also informed his security details to be at the airport waiting for them including some plain clothed cops.When they reached the airport, Don Alfredo’s driver parked across the road and waited for his boss to get in.Suddenly, a gunshot was fired. The shooter made use of a silencer so that the sound would not be traced back to him amidst the crowd but he was spotted by one of the cops. The bullet pierced Xavier in the chest. He was the shooter’s target.Xavier fell with a thud and soon, there was pandemonium in the airport. Passengers ran and scampered for safety. The cops and security team immediately went towards the direction of the shooter.Don Alfredo couched down and lifted Xavier up.“Get him inside the car!” He screamed at the remaining officer

The board meeting was in a few minutes and everyone was already seated.The don formally introduced Xavier as his son and the heir to Hernandez corporation. This piece of information sparked confusion among the staff. No one had ever heard about Xavier Hernandez.While the Don was still speaking, some of the staff and their secretaries began digging up information about Xavier. Who was he? Where had he been the whole time? Why didn’t the world know about him until now?But his slate was clean. There was no tangible information about him on the internet. It was as if he never existed until that moment.Micah Simmons, who had been filling the role of the manager was greatly displeased by the Don’s announcement. He had been working in the company for years and had risen to the position of the manager. He thought himself better qualified for the position of the director.He had no idea the Don h

HIS RESURGENCE CHAPTER 17Rodriguez reached out for the bottle of brandy in front of him. His face contorted as he gulped down the contents. He replaced the empty glass on the table and picked up his phone.“What should I do now? Should I call Nathaniel and inform him of his uncle’s decision to give the company to a stranger? Would he finally be concerned about the company if he finds out?”He stood up and paced about the room. “If I tell him about it, I’d also have to tell him about the things I’ve done to take back the company. That will only put him at risk. If I get caught he’d be treated as my accomplice. I’m doing all of this for him so I cannot afford to get him into trouble.‘I just have to infiltrate the company. I need someone there who would be willing to work with me. There has to be someone who is not happy about Xavier’s presence and the power he has come to wield.He smiled broadly as he remembered. There was a particular person in that company who he knew wouldn’t be

HIS RESURGENCE CHAPTER 18After a light breakfast, Xavier dressed up and headed for the office. He had looked into The J&K project and had found out that it would be a great advantage to Hernandez corporation if the partnership pulled through. J&K corporation was a huge architectural company and were also into construction. They were open to partnering up with real estate companies who would help them plan and market their redevelopment projects, and sell of new buildings that would be set up in that area at the best price possible.Xavier knew he had what it took to close the deal. He just needed to meet with the CEO Of J&K.He got to the office and saw scarlet waiting for him outside the door.“Micah Simmons got here very early. He’s waiting inside your office.” Xavier nodded and asked her. “Is there any news from J&K?”“Yes sir, I was able to contact the president of J&K corporation . He wants to meet with you in person and discuss over dinner.”“Good. Set up an appointment then

HIS RESURGENCE CHAPTER 19Scarlet paced from one corner of her office to the other, Her face creased with worry. Xavier had only been gone for about ten minutes but she was already imagining the worst.She wondered what Simmons must have planned out. She knew he had something up his sleeves. He definitely was not happy that Xavier had occupied the much revered position he had always had his eyes on. What if Xavier actually falls into their trap? And why did simmons insist on Xavier going alone?Unable to bear the thoughts anymore, she picked up her phone and called Don Alfredo. He picked up on the second ring.“Something’s wrong Don.”“What is it child?” Alfredo asked, hearing the tremor in her voice.“Simmons set up a meeting with the president of FG global. He wants Xavier to partner with the company. Thing is, the company is going under. They have a lot of debts and will soon be auctioned off. Simmons knows that. He’s trying to trap Xavier.”“Does Xavier know about the company’s s

HIS RESURGENCE CHAPTER 20Scarlet tossed and turned on the couch. It wasn’t because the couch was uncomfortable. It was because she had too much on her mind. The event of that day kept replaying in her head over and over again.She sat up and looked over at Xavier. He was fast asleep, still shirtless. She had adjusted the room temperature,but she still felt hot. ‘How could he sleep so peacefully after what he did to her?’ She thought.She scolded herself for being so faint hearted and easy. How could she let her desires show when she knew he was a cold hearted monster? How would she face him now? What would he think of her?She lay down again and begged sleep to take her. It didn’t. Then she had a thought. She couldn’t be the only one feeling uncomfortable. She would make him pay. She smiled to herself and as if sleep was in her side, it overtook her shortly afterward.* * * *Xavier woke up to the sound of the alarm. It was seven o’clock. The meeting was in three hours. He sat up,

HIS RESURGENCE CHAPTER 21Xavier slowly opened his eyes, his vision blurry. He blinked severally and tried to sit up. The searing pain he felt jogged his memory. He remembered the meeting and then going back to the hotel. He remembered the car that followed them to the airport, and then the gunshot. He remembered Scarlet and the frightened look on her face.“Be careful. You had a bullet in your stomach.” Scarlet said.He sat up with difficulty and turned to look at her. Her eyes were swollen and had dark circles underneath. He wondered if she had cried or if she had been able to sleep at all.“My father.” He said, finally sitting up. “You didn’t tell him about this did you?”Scarlet sighed and as she opened her mouth to respond, Xavier’s phone rang.“How are you son?” Don Alfredo asked“I’m fine dad.” “Liar. Do you really think I wouldn’t find out about what happened at the airport?”Xavier turned and looked accusingly at Scarlet.“I didn’t tell him.” Scarlet mouthed“After the rece

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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?”“
