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
HIS RESURGENCE CHAPTER 50Alex woke up with a splitting headache. He ran his fingers through his soft, jet black hair and sat up slowly wincing as he did so. 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
HIS RESURGENCE CHAPTER 51The room was silent for a whole minute and that one minute felt like hours. The silence was deafening and heavy. They both stood staring, glaring daggers at each other. The weight of her threat seemed to make the room spin. She had expected him to scream at her, or even hit her, but the silence surprised her even more. And then suddenly, Alex broke into a laugh. A sickening, sinister, cackling laugh that sent shivers down her spine and goosebumps on her skin. Her confusion deepened.“Did you hear what I said Alex?” Clara asked not certain he understood the threats she just made. “I swear I’m not playing. I will fucking go to the cops and tell them that you’re a murderer! You kill people to get what you want you piece of trash!”Alex closed the space between them in lightening speed and grabbed her by the elbow. He shoved her violently against the wall and held her by the neck, choking her. She kicked against him and struggled to free herself until she slowl
