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
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 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 151A black, tinted Sedan pulled up in the compound and the driver waited inside, watching to see if anyone was home. 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
HIS RESURGENCE CHAPTER ONEXavier Whitlock had arrived at the mansion and wondered what would have made his father to summon him so quickly but now he knows and he wished he didn't come to the mansion to hear such bullshit from his father."Pardon?" Xavier asked, assuming he had heard wrong."You heard me right, Xavier" His father, Benjamin Whitlock said and Xavier scoffed."This must be a joke right?" Xavier refused to believe what his father had said, 'No, it might be a joke' he kept on murmuring."You know me clearly well Xavier and I do not joke, not in this manner" Benjamin Whitlock replied and the sob that threatened to come out of Xavier's throat took his whole strength to control.The older man in the room reminded the younger man, who sat across from him in the opposite chair, how ruthless he had been for all the years he had known him. "But this is absurd, father!"Xavier Whitlock, the younger man among the pair, blurted out as his anger began to rise, it was so hard for h
HIS RESURGENCE CHAPTER 2"How much did he pay you Clara? Just what did he give to you to make you accept his proposal" he pleaded the questions trying once more to reach out to her, he slowly made his way to where she stood. Clara turned away from him, avoiding not just his gaze this time but his questions, his pleas and him entirely."I'm sorry Xavierr, I can't continue with you anymore" she said. "But why?" he asked again extending his hands to her "I'm sorry" she said then moved away from him. "Clara…" he trailed off"Now that's enough!" Mr. Benjamin reprimanded Xavier immediately with a very stern glare. "You will not humiliate my daughter in-law and your brother's wife in my sight"Xavier was so shocked, more than he had ever been before. He was unable to do anything but watch as his life and everything he had built began to shatter right in front of him. Clara bowed to Mr Benjamin and respectively left the room, leaving both men to themselves. Xavier stared at Clara as s
HIS RESURGENCECHAPTER 3Xavier heard voices and sirens and it forced him to open his eyes which he struggled to do, slowly, adjusting to the light until his eyes were fully open. His ears were ringing and his head was banging. He immediately sat upright and instantly regretted it since it was like his head was about to fall down from his neck. "Oww" He winched in pain as every part of his body hurt and his head ached more,he could feel the metallic taste of iron from the cut on his lips and he knew it was blood."Are you okay sir?" A female nurse ran into the room to him when she heard his voice and helped him sit up as he struggled."What happened? I am fine, I am fine, don't touch me" He managed to reply to her. She managed to get him to sit up while he looked around like he was I'm a dazed state.He kept wondering why he was in a hospital of all places and why he was in so much pain.Memories flashed in his eyes and He recognized the scenes that he saw to be that of his favorite
