She looked beautiful, always had, and lately,she had begun to appreciate herself a bit more.

He was attractive and still aroused her but his coldness and Indifference was starting to rub off on her. Frankly, the only reason she was fighting to keep him was to have that satisfaction of winning over Scarlet who she knew her husband had fallen for. She hated to lose, and this time, she would win. Alex couldn't always get what he wanted. This time, she just had to win."I made breakfast, it's in the kitchen if you're hungry.""I'll eat at the office."

She paced from one end of her dressing room to the other trying hard to calm herself. The door opened and Elsa came in with the dress.“Everyone’s excited madam Clara. The show’s going well. You should be excited too. Your dress is beautiful.”“Thank you Elsa. I don’t know why I’m so nervous.”“It’s understandable,but you’ll do just fine.”“Do you know if my husband is here?”“He isn’t here yet, his seat is still vacant. I’m sorry, I’m sure he’ll be here soon.”Clara forced a smile and nodded. “Sure he will, he’s probably just stuck in traffic.”“Okay, get ready. I’ll check on you soon.” She said patting her shoulder.As soon as the door closed behind Elsa, Clara picked up her phone and dialed a number.“Where is he?

HIS RESURGENCE CHAPTER 57Clara opened the door to Alex’s bedroom and stormed in visibly angry. The pictures her informant sent her kept on replaying in her mind as she drove home from the event. Today was supposed to be the most amazing day of her life. She was supposed to be utterly happy and without a care in the world. But Alex had ruined it for her. It wasn’t the fact that he didn’t show up for her event even when she invited him, it was the fact that he chose to be with Scarlet of all people. If he had been busy at work or been in a meeting or was even busy with another woman it would have been better. Just not with Scarlet!She threw the pictures on the bed and threw her purse at him. Alex was startled. He moved away from her to escape her attack.“What’s the meaning of this Clara? Are you crazy?“Yes! Yes I’m crazy! How could you do this to me?” She asked pointing at the pictures on the bed.Alex looked at them and his face stared back at him. He was at Walmars hotels having

HIS RESURGENCE CHAPTER 58Alex was tensed. He had literally just given this woman power over him. She could ask for anything and he would not hesitate to oblige her. That was how badly he wanted her.As he waited for her reply, he signaled the waiter for some dessert. He watched as the waiter retreated to the kitchen separated from the tables by a brown door with a counter by the side.What was she thinking right now? What would she ask of him?“Alex, there’s more to me than I let on. I am a very powerful woman with connections you won’t dare to imagine. You’d be too intimidated to stay by my side if ever I decide to be yours. You’d have a lot to measure up to and I’m afraid that it would tear us apart. Men don’t like it when their women are too powerful, it makes them feel weak. So, I need you to grow and become a better version of yourself. Become a man I can be with, powerful, confident and a boss, The boss. Only then will I tell you what to do to have me.”“Fine, I’ll become a

She had tried to distract herself with her sketches for her new line but she caught herself thinking about him. The way he had kissed her, the feel of his lips against hers, his hands, hard and muscular but soft on her skin, the words he whispered into her ear..She dropped her sketch pad and went to the window for some air. She wished she could see him again, spend time alone with him and finish what they started.Alex had been a pain in the neck. He chose a wrong time to get beat up and land in a hospital.

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. If he’s exposed and gets locked up in a mental hospital, I don’t have to worry about my

HIS RESURGENCE CHAPTER 148“No, no, NO! It can’t be. She would never betray me like that. She wouldn’t do that to her own son. How could she? “Clara stared at him, her mouth open. 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

HIS RESURGENCECHAPTER 145Scarlet could not remember the last time she had slept so soundly. She had nightmares every night and was afraid to close her eyes ever since Xavier left her. 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 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?”“
