HIS RESURGENCE CHAPTER 60Clara pulled her small suitcase out of the house and shut the door. Alex was still in the hospital so the house would be vacant for a while. 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

HIS RESURGENCE CHAPTER 61Clara rushed into her hotel room and slammed the door. She couldn’t stand to sit in the same table with Gabe. 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

HIS RESURGENCE CHAPTER 62Xavier drove back to the office. He had called Scarlet earlier and she told him she was back at the office trying to finish up on a project she was working on.He went straight to her office and found her behind the desk looking over some documents.“Scarlet, we need to talk.”“Hi Xavier, I’m doing okay thanks for asking.”Xavier rolled his eyes and pushed back her chair. 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

HIS RESURGENCE CHAPTER 63Vincent knocked on Clara’s door and waited. It was the last day of their trip and he wanted to take her sight seeing. He had a lot planned out. 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.

HIS RESURGENCE CHAPTER 64“You’ve been very patient Xavier” Don Alfredo said over the phone. 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

HIS RESURGENCE CHAPTER 65The hall was quiet and empty. But it wasn’t a surprise because that was the usual. 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

HIS RESURGENCE CHAPTER 66Going to the magistrate’s office was intentional. They had to kill two birds with one stone. Instead of the press and online blogs spreading fake news and turning the divorce into a scandal, they were going to get divorce in court and address the press immediately after. 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. She wore a fashionable black hat and a pair of glasses. White gloves covered her hands and she walked elegantly on a pair of heels.Alex didn’t care what he was dressed in but he had to look good for the press.

You could say he had developed a sixth sense from his years of doing business and he could tell when something was off. He felt that way now. He sat down in his living room and tried to figure out why he was feeling that way.Then he remembered the story he watched on the news. Gabriel Sullivan was found dead in a hotel room at the outskirts of town. It was a premeditated murder. A gunshot to the chest.Gabriel Sullivan was a very wealthy man and had connections with many companies and industries. He owned shares in the major companies in the US and beyond. How could he just die like that, in an unknown hotel out of town?He heard his door open and close again, then the room was filled with a familiar scent that always got his heart racing.“My feet are killing me, I swear I can’t wear these heels for one more day. Why do I have to wear a dress all the time? And put makeup on and wear these
