HIS RESURGENCE CHAPTER 34Scarlet woke up in the hospital, her body feeling sore and battered. She tried to get up but her body felt sluggish and she fell back onto the bed. She could feel a small bump on the back of her head where she hit the ground. Her clothes were soaked in blood and she couldn't remember what happened. She tried to sit up again and this time she made it, but was greeted with a throbbing headache. The first thing she noticed was that her arm was in a cast and there was a needle in it. Scarlet looked around, trying to find out what had happened, but everything was a blur. What happened? She tried to remember but couldn't.

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.

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
HIS RESURGENCE chapter 36Leah pulled up in front of the restaurant. She had been excited when she got a phone call from Xavier.

It happened in college with Antonio and now Xavier was crazy about scarlet and had turned her down.She wished her plan had worked. Scarlet had survived the gunshot and had ruined her plans again.

HIS RESURGENCE CHAPTER 38Benjamin Whitlock looked through the documents in front of him. His face creased into a deep frown. The board of directors sat in a circle, each with a copy of the documents detailing their performance in the market in the last year . It was obvious that their stocks were dropping really low and they had not made as much profit as they used to. The board of directors murmured amongst themselves.Alex sat beside his father. He looked really anxious. Ever since Xavier left the company and he was made the director, he had done his best to head the company and to make sure they stayed afloat.
