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
HIS RESURGENCE CHAPTER 43Alex sat with his head bowed. He was having second thoughts about this. 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
HIS RESURGENCE CHAPTER 44The smile on her face instantly faded into a tight scowl."Tell me you're joking. This has to be a joke. I refuse to believe what I just heard." She said."I...well it's....He hadn't meant for it to come out that way. Out of excitement he had blurted out his thoughts.He had intended to take things slowly and win her heart but now he had blown that Chance."You see... I..He was completely lost for words. 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. I've had feelings for you all this while but I couldn't say it to you.I tried to play it cool and act like it was just a joke but now I realize I didn't have a choice but to tell you the truth.I'm in love with you and I hope you don't leave me." He finally blurted out."No, no, no, no, no. No way! You can't do this. No! You are married Mr Alex
HIS RESURGENCE CHAPTER 45As soon as he got home, he rushed to the bathroom to clean up himself. No one could find out about this. Absolutely no one.He didn't mean to do it but Scarlet had so etched herself into his mind that he saw her everywhere. So when he had thought that man was trying to rape her, he'd lost control and....But he wasn't wrong. Was he? That man even though it wasn't Scarlet was trying to rape a girl. He had saved her only to end up killing her himself. He had to do it. She had seen him kill that man and if he hadn't killed her too, she would have gone to report him to the police despite the fact that he did it trying to save her life.He had tried talking to her to stay quiet and keep this a secret. She was against it at first saying the police would let him go since he had did it in an attempt to save her but after much pressure from him, she agreed only for her to go straight to the police station once she's left him.He knew humans were never to be trusted
HIS RESURGENCE CHAPTER 46Clara laughed hard. Hard and maniacally that she raised her voice into that shriek she heard so often and it echoed around the room. Alex's heart thumped a little faster. He was confused and couldn't understand the reason she was laughing so hard.His lawyer had prepared the divorce papers and had brought it to him. It had to be signed immediately. Alex who did not want to waste a single second have Clara the papers and she had began laughing afternoon seeing it. She didn't know what exactly was so funny but she was sure she was laughing because of a way to destroy Alex's image. She was indeed a malicious woman.Alex finished signing the divorce papers and was waiting for her to sign so they could get this over and done with.She was laughing so hard, tears were streaming down her cheeks. "I'm serious, I am not joking." he said, feeling the anger building up inside of him."Hey, do you want to get a divorce?" he asked in a very serious tone. "Over my dead b
HIS RESURGENCE CHAPTER 47His eyes was blood red from the rage and anger he was holding inside.He didnt know what to do.He just sat there at the bar.He could feel his heart beating fast, and couldn't breath.He was panting for air.The alcohol was doing that.Today was the worse day of his life. Knowing that he was stuck with the airheaded, selfish and depraved wife of his, he's hated her for a long time, but this day has made it worst.She never sees the mess he's in, she just acts like she's the Queen.It makes him want to take his own life everyday, But he couldn't.He needed to vent, he needed to talk to someone, he needed to hear comforting words from someone.But Clara wasn't that kind of woman, she didn't listen, she didn't even care and he knew it.He has many woman that he has talked to, and most of them just stayed to listen.But none of them cared to give advice.So he was always on his own, until he met her. Her presence had a way of making him smile, of lightening his
HIS RESURGENCE CHAPTER 48The instant she got into her room, she kicked off her shoes and fell on the bed. She was exhausted from the day's work and fr having to pretend for hour with Alex. Who knew pretending sapped this much strength from someone?She thought back to how Alex hand cried and she couldn't help but curse at him. He was such a devil yet on the outside he looked as sweet as pie.If she hadn't done her own investigation on him, she would have made a terrible mistake. She had it in mind to try and talk Xavier out of his revenge plan. She had thought somewhere inside Alex was a good person but the circumstances had made him turn out bad. If maybe he was worked on, he'd give up being a jerk and start living a life with a heart.The reason she had investigated him was to find out some instances that she's use to convince Xavier but the results of the investigation changed her mind completely.She had found out the series of crimes that head been involved in. Money launderin
HIS RESURGENCE CHAPTER 49Alex was nervous as hell. This was the first time he was actually going to pitch a business proposal to an investor.His palm was sweaty and his heart was pounding so hard that he feared his knees might give way and he'd tumble to the floor."I can't do this. I'm too nervous." He said facing Scarlet."Seriously? Why would you be nervous? Haven't you been in the business world for some years now? Meeting a few investors should not be a big deal for you." She said."I told you already, my brother used to do this and when he left, my dad and other executives took over it.""And you wonder why they doubt your competence?" She said sternly. "Since you can't do it, leave!" She said coldly"What? You're supposed to be giving me encouraging words not asking me to leave." Alex said in surprise."If proving to your dad that you're competent enough to handle the company isn't enough encouragement for you then I don't know what to say to you. If proving to Clara that yo
