HIS RESURGENCE Episode 21
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

HIS RESURGENCE CHAPTER 22“So, what you’re telling me is that, Dante Butera was killed in the police station and nobody knows who did it? How is that even possible?” Don Alfredo asked in disbelief.“Nothing came up on the security footage. The person who brought in the bottle of water was in the police uniform alright, but he wasn’t one of them. No one knew him. I guess with all the commotion, nobody noticed that he was a stranger. The guy had a face cap on, and he skillfully avoided the cameras. He’s vanished into thin air.” Xavier replied,devastated.“And are you sure Dante was telling the truth, that he wasn’t responsible for the attack in Argentina?”“I don’t think he was lying. We had his family, and the police promised to take care of them. But if he didn’t do it, it only means there’s someone else out there who wants me dead. And I have to find out who that person is.”Don Alfredo walked over to him and patted him on the shoulder. “I wanted to give you a new life. I knew there

HIS RESURGENCE CHAPTER 23“Monday mornings suck.” Scarlet exclaimed as she sank into her chair. She rubbed her aching foot and relished the relief she felt. Monday’s were usually busy. She had had to fill in for Xavier in some meetings while he attended others.She peeled into Xavier’s office to see if he was back too. He was in his office. He stood close to the widow, one hand in his pocket. He always took that posture when he answered the phone.“Sure dad, I can come over for dinner. It’s been too busy at the office, I rarely eat dinner at home.” He said“Then it’s settled then. I’ll ask Margaret to make something delicious. Bring scarlet along. I haven’t spoken to her in a while.”“Umm..sure.” Xavier replied reluctantly.“Whats with the reply? Do you not like her?” Alfredo asked.“She’s good at her job, I give her that. She can be annoying sometimes though.” Xavier replied Don Alfredo let out a laugh. “Well I’m glad you both are getting along. See you at dinner then, both of you

HIS RESURGENCE CHAPTER 24Leah grit walked into the fairly dark room. It was broad daylight but the curtains in the room was drawn. From what she could see, it was some sort of study. There were lots of books on several.shelves, a desk and chairs.“Have a seat.” She heard someone say. It was a woman. She was seated at a corner where it would be impossible to make out her face. She could tell from her silhouette that it was a middle aged woman, probably in her early fourties. She looked like a rich woman and her aura exuded power. She sat down, her hands placed on her laps.“You know why you’re here don’t you?” The woman asked.“Yes ma’am.” She replied.“And what exactly is that, tell me?”“I am going to be the face of your newly acquired company. I will only act and make decisions when you instruct me to. I’m the boss on the outside, and I answer to you.”“Very good. You’re a smart one. There’s a deal I need you to acquire. You went to business school so you’re not entirely useless.

"At least we have someone to share the risks with besides, the benefits supersedes the disadvantages."Xavier wasn't at all pleased with the three way partnership but Don Alfredo was right.He relaxed in the car and let his thoughts drift but was soon brought out when she felt a head on his shoulder.

HIS RESURGENCE CHAPTER 27Scarlet tapped gently on the door and opened it. She had gone to get Xavier some coffee. She placed them gently on the table.“How can you drink two cups of coffee? Too much caffeine isn’t healthy you know?” Scarlet teased.“I’ll need a lot of it today. We have a meeting with silicon housing. Mr Peter has sent in the project and his plans. We need to meet up and decide how best to go about the project.”Scarlet rolled her eyes in exasperation. “So we’re meeting with Leah grit. This is going to be a long meeting.”“It seems you don’t like her very much. Do you know her?” Xavier asked.“We went to college together. We were roommates. Let’s just say it wasn’t a great experience living with her.”Xavier sat up and crossed one leg over the other, his interest piqued. “Really? What was she like?”Xavier wasn’t really interested in the woman. She was really beautiful but she gave off the wrong kind of vibes. He had learned to trust his instincts especially when it

HIS RESURGENCE CHAPTER 28"I've told you already Leah, I'm not interested in you." Antonio said.Leah was shocked. He wasn't interested in her? Everyone was interested in her. She was the one everyone turned to. Why was Antonio different?She stammered for a response and before she could speak, he cut her off."Leah. You're very beautiful, but it's not enough. I want something more than that.""I don't see why that's necessary," Leah replied nervously."For me it is. I want someone who is smart, intelligent, thoughtful, generous. The kind of woman that would make me and your mom proud.""I am those things.""You're good, Leah, but not great."Leah found herself speechless, though she was not scared.Just then, Scarlet walked by and Leah noticed how Antonio's eyes lit up at the sight of her. She shivered when his eyes traveled down her petite frame. "Scarlet," he said, hoping to get her attention. " I gotta go." He said, running off to Scarlet, leaving Leah standing there, confused,

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

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.

Did she have a good dream last night?And then she remembered.No, it couldn’t have been just a dream.

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 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?”“
