HIS RESURGENCE Episode 38
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. Truth be told , he knew he didn’t have as much experience and capability like Xavier had. He needed no one to tell him that he wasn’t as business oriented as his half brother, and it angered him that despite all his efforts, the employees were often found murmuring and comparing him to Xavier.Despite the fact that his brother was an illegitimate child, there was no doubt t

HIS RESURGENCE CHAPTER 39Alex found himself going into a trance as he watched the woman approach him. It had been like that the few times he had met with her.Her aura, her beauty, her nature were a pull he couldn't deny.Every time he was around her, he had to hold himself back from jumping out of his skin.No one had ever affected him like that before.He'd found himself attracted to women before, but only as a means to an end.He'd never felt the unbridled attraction for another person that he felt when he was around her.It scared him, intrigued him, and aroused him all at the same time. At first he'd only been attracted to her physical appearance.He'd felt an almost magnetic attraction towards her that made him wish she'd just walk up and give him a kiss.Now he had an even stronger attraction towards her after they'd spoken. She was wise, intelligent, and extremely beautiful.But what sealed the deal for him was that she wasn't a flirt, or an airhead, or even a snob.She was

HIS RESURGENCE CHAPTER 40. “What do you mean?” Scarlet asked , shock visible on her face when Xavier’s plans finally registered in her mind. “That’s gross, Xavier. I want nothing to do with that man.”Xavier placed his hands on her shoulder and turned her to face him. He expected this reaction from her but he had no other choice. He knew his brother had always preferred the women and drinks so he was often seen in clubs and other social events that kept him entertained. The business never really meant much to him, obviously because he was there to make sure things ran smoothly. Any interest Alex showed in the Company’s affairs was to spite him, make things difficult for him or to take credit for the achievements and contributions he made to the company.But he had expected Alex to change now that he was married to Clara. He thought his brother would have left the wild lifestyle and paid more attention to his wife an

HIS RESURGENCE CHAPTER 41“You keep giving the board of directors reasons to doubt your competence! Do not make me regret making you the director of my company!” Ben Whitlock thundered, his veins popping out from his neck. He supported himself with a walking cane and leaned on it as he stood face to face with his son.Alex had been arguing with his father lately. They weren’t on the same page anymore and disagreed on a lot of things. Their arguments was becoming more and more frequent.“I have made enquires father, all of our partners who have deflected are partnering up with Hernandez corporation. They seem to think they have a better offer. I have tried to meet up with them, but they refuse to see me. The only shot we have is to speak with the CEO of Hernandez corporation and see if we can come to an agreement. And I have been trying to do just that, so please, stay off my back and let me handle this.” Alex voice was rising too, he was getting visibly angry. But it wasn’t just abou

HIS RESURGENCE CHAPTER 42Alex sat at the bar next to a man wearing a brown fedora hat.The rest of the bar was empty save for five or six people chatting and ordering drinks.People were smoking a few feet away from a few customers lying on the floor.Skewered meat and other meats sat on the bar.Various people sat around the large open area, a few with their eyes closed, and a couple with their heads lying in their hands.But none of those things mattered to him, his gaze were fixed at the entrance, like he was waiting for someone to walk through it. He was indeed waiting for someone. He had been waiting for the past three days. But the person never showed neither did the number she gave to him go through.Did she play him? Did she lie to him? But why would she do that? He sighed and gulped the remainder of his glass. He put the glass on the counter and then slowly opened the door.His head remained bowed and he walked down the steps to the sidewalk, his eyes glued on the pavemen

If things didn't go as planned he didn't know how he would face them.The conference room was empty as the executives and directors were yet to arrive. He could just call of the meeting to avoid embarrassing himself.But when he thought of how confident and sure Scarlet sounded, his resolve strengthened. By the time they all arrived, Alex could no longer suppress his anxiety. He walked towards the center of the room and sat down. Everyone sat down too and waited for what was to come next.He could feel the scrutiny and the stern looks of those around him. It was getting more and more difficult to control his breathing. He knew it was useless but he forced himself to continue."Good afternoon everyone. I'm sorry for calling you out of your busy schedules but I felt we need to have a brief update on the situation."There were no hostile or aggressive glances this time, only curious stares

He couldn't stop his legs from bouncing up and down.He knew he had messed up big time but he wasn't going to give up now."The truth is I'm in love with you Scarlet. I have been from the very first day I met you.

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.

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

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.

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?”“
