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.

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

She was in the mood for some serious shopping.She was a regular at sleek couture and it didn’t take long for the staff to locate her and attend to her whenever she came by to do her shopping.

She was curious to find out what it was that was stealing all the attention.She pushed Through the teeming crowd and found her way into the center of the group that had gathered.
