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. But today was different. It seemed all of the staff were busy with something or someone else. Even the customers who came to shop were focusing on something else. 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.

HIS RESURGENCE CHAPTER 53TEN YEARS AGO Liam couldn’t conceal his excitement, he had the kind of face that showed off every emotion he felt so it was very easy to read him.He headed towards the cafeteria where he always met with scarlet after their stressful school hours to rewind and just talk. Scarlet was his favorite cousin. They were very close even though they were distant cousins. They just clicked the first time they met and since then, they had been inseparable.He scanned the tables in search of her and smiled broadly when he saw her waving at him. She had already ordered his favorite ice cream and she got a smoothie for herself.They attended different schools but both schools were close to the other, about ten minutes walk apart. Liam’s was a private school. His parents were not very rich but Liam was a smart kid and was able to get a scholarship by the time he was in high school. “Hi smoothie.” Liam teased.

HIS RESURGENCE CHAPTER 54Clara opened the old, dusty box she had just brought up from the basement. She blew off the dust and lifted the lid. The contents were still intact though covered in dust. She hadn’t opened the box for over a year.She picked up the huge,hard back book and flipped open the pages. Her eyes widened in admiration. She really was talented. Her designs were spectacular and unique. She had stood out in fashion school and had gotten the praise of so many well known designers.“You’re going to make it big; you’re very talented;your designs are out of this world.” She had been told by so many.But disaster had struck. She had entered the school using a copy of someone else’s design and had had to bribe and sleep with top management of the school to cover it up.Her parents were rich and had spoiled her terribly so she hated to work and preferred to have everything handed to her. when she heard of an opening in Dela Rosé fashion academy, she thought she would make it
HIS RESURGENCE CHAPTER 55Clara sat in front of her mirror and applied make up on her face. she was clearly excited and she smiled occasionally at her reflection. She looked beautiful, always had, and lately,she had begun to appreciate herself a bit more. She wondered why."Maybe it has something to do with Vincent Jacques?" a voice spoke inside her head.she brushed off the thought.The door creaked open and Alex walked in, shirtless and sweaty from his morning workout. 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." Alex replied coldly."You can at least appreciate my effort A
HIS RESURGENCE CHAPTER 56The hall was filled up, no seats were left empty except for the reserved seats. The day had come quickly and Clara’s nerves were all over the place. 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? Who is he with?” She asked impatiently.“He’s at a restaurant at brooks street.”“Walmars?”“Yes
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
HIS RESURGENCE CHAPTER 59Three days had passed since she was in Vincent’s arms. They hadn’t seen each other since. 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. She forced herself to visit him at least once just so that his parents; her in-laws wouldn’t make a fuss about her neglecting their son. She was fed up with all of them.
