HIS RESURGENCE CHAPTER 141FOUR DAYS AGOScarlet was stunned,frozen in place at the view before her. She hadn’t expected this, at least not yet. But it was real, everything.There were flowers, lots of them scattered all over in beautiful patterns. Their scent filled the air reminding her of the garden back home where she and her dad visited often before he passed away.It was breathtaking.But the flowers wasn’t the centre of everything. Something else looked better, and it was that which stopped her breath.WILL YOU MARRY ME?It was written on a placard surrounded by balloons and more roses.Was this real? Xavier, proposing to her?She walked slowly towards him when her legs finally regained locomotion. She looked behind her at Mrs Dorathy who had come to call her to the rooftop. The woman gave her a reassuring smile, her eyes glistening with happy tears.Scarlet chuckled to herself in disbelief.“Xavier— how did you—““I love you Scarlet. I have no doubt about it. My life makes se

HIS RESURGENCE CHAPTER 142Nathaniel got into the taxi that would convey him from the airport to his destination. He made a stop at the hotel his father’s secretary booked for him and unpacked his bags.“Did you get it?” He asked.“Yes, I’ll give him a call now if you’re ready.”“Do it.”The secretary dialed the number he had managed to get his hands on and gave the phone to Nathaniel as it rang.“Alexander Whitlock.” He called. “I have reason to believe that you’re messing with my plans to get my company back. That’s not good, for you.”“Nathaniel Hernandez. I wasn’t expecting a call from you. It seemed like you got what you wanted. Xavier is dead isn’t he? I saw it on the news, a bloated body was found in the sea with his identification on it.”“Yes, my plan worked, so I should be happy shouldn’t I?”“If your plan worked, you wouldn’t be calling me. I guess there’s another hurdle you’d have to cross.”Nathaniel’s face creased in a frown. It seemed he didn’t know what was going on.
HIS RESURGENCE 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?”“
HIS RESURGENCE Episode 144
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

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 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

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 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
