HIS RESURGENCE

CHAPTER 42

Alex 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?

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

He opened his eyes and tried to adjust to the light seeping in through the window.The events of last night came flooding in and his mouth curved in a smile. Scarlet was one lucky charm. In all his years of doing business, this was the first time he had actually achieved something for himself without doing anything shady. Scarlet believed in him, she was the only one who did and it warmed his heart.“You’re awake.” He heard someone say. He turned towards the door and saw Clara walking towards him, a tray in her hands. She was smiling brightly as if she had won the lottery. His smile disappeared and a frown creased his face.“I made breakfast, I’m sure you’re hungry. There’s aspirin too, for your hangover.” She said placing the tray gently on the side table.Alex looked at her, surprise clearly showing on his face. Why was she ac

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

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.

The voice was manipulated of course so she didn’t know who it was.“I know you’re a killer Aurora. How could you kill your own family?” The caller asked and let out a cackling laughter.Aurora has dropped the phone in shock and ended the call, shaking to the bone.

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.

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 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?”“
