HIS RESURGENCE

CHAPTER 58

Alex 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. She needed some time away from the watchful, judging eyes of her in-laws and was in desperate need of some fresh air.She had just returned from the hospital. She thought that seeing Alex in that

At least the maids were there to clean up the place till their return.Vincent pulled up in front of her house and got out of the car. He kissed her on both cheeks and opened her door for her.“Thank you.” She said, a smile plastered on her face.“You look beautiful as always.”“You don’t look too bad yourself.”Vincent stole glances at her as he drove to the airport. She looked ravishing in her crop top and blue denim jean.“I’ve never seen you in casual clothes before. You look stunning and relaxed at the same time. I like that.”“Thank you. I like to be comfortable when I fly. It helps me forget that I’m actually afraid of heights.”Vincent laughed, the sound sending heat waves down to her toes.“You look like someone who’s not afraid of anything and yet you’re afraid of heights. You won’t hear the end of this.” Cla

The way he looked at her made her skin crawl.She inwardly cursed the day she met him. It was a year after her marriage to Alex and he had just been made the director of the Whitlock corporation. He knew next to nothing about running the business and he desperately needed to impress his father and convince the board of directors that he was capable of handling the business.He had been asked to make Gabriel Sullivan, CEO of HX global their partner. He was a man with a lot of money and seeking a good company to invest in and so many companies had indicated interest and were clamoring to get him to invest in their company. Alexander didn’t stand a chance. He didn’t know the right things to say and the right way to say them. He had no experience pitching a business plan and convincing people to buy into it. Frankly, when Clara heard about his assignme

He lifted her up and bent down to look her in the eyes.“You have ten seconds to come with me or I’ll carry you out of here.”“What? You wouldn’t..”“Do you really think so?”She knew Xavier wasn’t the type to bluff. He definitely had no problem carrying her over his shoulder and walking out of the office for everyone to see. That would be embarrassing.“Fine. I’m coming, just give me a minute to clear out my desk. Am I in trouble?”“We’ll see.”“Where are we going?”“My place.”Xavier pulled up at his mansion and stepped out of the car. His house overlooked the sea. The place had a serenity

She hurried to the door and opened it. The smile on her face was bright and beautiful, she practically glowed.“Someone’s definitely feeling better. I was so worried about you that I didn’t get much sleep.” Vincent said“I’m sorry I made you worry. I guess flying isn’t really my thing.”“Are you hungry? We can grab something to eat before we go.”“Sure, I’m starving.”They went downstairs and into the restaurant. They both ordered a light breakfast of some sandwiches and coffee.Vincent could barely keep his eyes off her. He didn’t know what was happening to him. Lately, he found himself thinking about her and imagining a future with her.This wasn’t part of the plan. He wasn’t supposed to get emotionally attached to her, especially since he knew the kind of woman she was. She would t do him any good, but his heart

I’m glad you didn’t rush it, you would probably have made a few mistakes if you had let your anger get into your head.”“I waited two years to re-emerge and set my plans in motion. I wouldn’t do anything to jeopardize it.”“What about Scarlet. Is she alright with all this? You know, with her past experience with Alex it must be difficult for her.”Xavier was surprised. “You knew about it?”“I was friends with her father before he died, he used to work for me. We talked and he told me a few things. He told me how His nephew’s death affected Scarlet. She wasn’t the same after that. She withdrew into a cocoon and it took her a while to get over it. His brother and sister-in-law were so broken. But the Whitlocks were too powerful. They were afraid to go against him. They left the country too with their only remaining daughter. She couldn’t grow up in that environment.”“You knew all these and yet

He chose that hotel because it was on the outskirts of town and people rarely frequented it. Those who usually went there were people who lived out of town and wanted a quiet, sinful rendezvous with their lovers without being caught. It was the perfect hiding place.He had already set the mood. Soft light, cool, slow music, bottles of red wine, and candles. He wanted to show her that she meant something to him and that she wasn’t just his sex toy, even though it appeared that way. But it was her fault. She wouldn’t give him a chance to show her that he loved her, he wanted her to be his. He looked at the clock. She was running late.Then he heard footsteps down the hall. He recognized her steps, how she moved lightly on her feet. Her heels made contact with the tiled floor and the sound echoed in the empty hall way. He heard her stop at the door and heard the handle click.“I

Clara never missed an opportunity to make a fashion statement. She was dressed in a black suade suit with a v-cut that ran into her belly, exposing parts of her boobs.

He had seen her car parked outside the restaurant and knew something was happening inside. He hadn’t wanted to stop by but he did just to see what she was doing there. And then he had heard Aurora talking with Clara about everything she had done. The fact that she had no remorse brought bile to his throat and he fought the urge to throw up.How could she have deceived him for over twenty years?

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. 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

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?”“
