HIS RESURGENCE

CHAPTER 29

Xavier had something over Simmonshead, so despite the fact that he loathed Xavier, he dared not confront Xavier head-on.

He could speak to Verity, and expose his treachery, and that would mean being publicly defamed.

"My track record for managing teams is on par with others on the list, and I consistently perform among the top senior managers. Vice President Xavier, are you still angry with me for what transpired previously? And if you are, I would appreciate your sharing that emotion, and understanding, with me. And yes, if you do have anger towards me, I would also appreciate knowing that, because I can't help but think you're doing this out of anger"

Simmons appeared to be a little unhappy.

Xavier giggled while lowering his eyes. "No, I don't bear a grudge against you, but I do recall that before to this, you weren't interested in working with J&K. I just worry that it may hinder our ability to work together."

"I'll follow the company's decision, as you

Yes, he would enjoy using her to make Scarlet feel uncomfortable (he didn't know why he enjoyed that) but the whole vibes he was getting from Leah in general did not leave much room for happiness. "How annoying." He muttered to himself."I'll hang up now dad. I still have a lot to do." He said in a dull tone."Yeah, that's fine. Do be careful though. I don't want you getting hurt.""I'll be fine dad." He replied calmly."Good. Bye." Xavier heard his dad hang up.He sighed and relaxed on his seat. There was a slight knock on the door and Scarlet came in.Xavier's eyes roamed her body In a quick glance . Her long brown hair brushed the small of her back, and even though she was wearing nothing but a silver coat and jeans, she still had that naughty vibe. He frowned at that, and took a few moments to regather his thoughts."May I?" She asked."What is it Scarlet?"'such a grumpy bear' she

"What is it?" His voice was low and oozing sex. It was if the emotions he was feeling transferred to her because the moment scarlet heard his voice, a tingling sensation rose up in the pit of her stomach and made her stomach turn. Why was she feeling this way? She should be scared from how he was glaring at her but she wasn't. Instead she was getting turned on?That was wrong, she chastised herself.

Xavier is not good at being organized you know. He’ll forget everything if I don’t remind him about it. I wonder how he’s been coping without me.” She said to the Don when they were alone in her ward.“You’re the one with the bullet wound and yet you’re worried about Xavier. Tell me child. Is there something more to it?”Scarlet looked away from him and blinked rapidly. She did that when she was embarrassed, or flushed.“It’s nothing Don. I’m just doing my job. I’m worried about the company, that’s all.” She replied.“I know I’m an old man scarlet. But I’ve got eyes. I know you feel something for him. Tell me child.”Scarlet heaved a sigh

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.

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

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.

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.

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?”“
