HIS RESURGENCE Episode 73
HIS RESURGENCE CHAPTER 73Clara looked from one middle aged face to the other, slightly older man’s. She waited patiently as they conversed amongst themselves, each weighing her presentation and the ideas she brought to the table.Her sketch book with the designs she was trying to establish laid open on the table. The men had gone through them for an hour, critiquing and commenting. Their faces were a mask, impossible to read which made her more nervous.When she had gotten the email asking her to create designs for a model that would be featured on Forbes magazine, she had been estatic and nervous at the same time. The job was wonderful but also tasking. She had to bring to play every knowledge she had to play and impress the model’s agents.From what she was told, two other fashion designers had been asked to create a design too. This was a competition and only the best would be selected.She shifted uncomfortably on the chair she sat on but she did her best to comport herself and

HIS RESURGENCE CHAPTER 74The man who stood before her was broken. He was a shadow of himself, it wasn’t just the dark circles around his eyes and the worried lines on his face, or his shrunken cheeks that were previously lush and full of life and smiles. It was his soul she saw. His soul was crushed and filled with pain. She knew it would come to this, prepared herself mentally and emotionally to support and console him. But nothing prepared her for this, she couldn’t speak or move. For the first time, she felt helpless and maybe useless too. And she blamed herself for it. For how he felt now and everything he had had to go through.“I still think we can fix this. I don’t want to give up just yet.” Vincent said.Scarlet walked up to him and shook him by the shoulders. “Wake up Vincent. This is reality. That’s the woman you fell in love with. That’s what I’ve been trying to tell you the whole time. She doesn’t care about anyone but herself and she only loves who she can benefit from

HIS RESURGENCE CHAPTER 75Alex was frantic after the phone call. He never expected such interest in the affairs of his company. That was why he hadn’t been worried about the possibility of getting caught in his deceit. But now, he wasn’t so sure he had done the right thing.But why did she suddenly want to meet him to talk about the Whitlock corporation? Had she discovered something? Was his secret out in the open? He tried to calm down and be logical with his thoughts. His attorney was good at his job and he had assured him that the fake documents had no loopholes and could not be easily deciphered. There was no way scarlet would have found out they were fake. She wouldn’t even have suspected it, that would mean she doubted his love for her and he had done his best to show how much he did love her.He looked at the time. It was 2:45pm. He had a few minutes to get to the restaurant. He picked up his jacket from the hanger and dashed out of his house.Scarlet was seated already, wait

HIS RESURGENCE CHAPTER 76Alex was in a good mood all morning ,maybe since the previous night. He couldn’t get the fact that scarlet had confessed her feelings for him out of his mind. She wanted the world to know that she was his! He felt on top of the world.The night seemed to crawl and he waited impatiently for the break of dawn, he barely got any sleep. He would wake up at intervals and just smile to himself. He picked up his phone and stared at a picture of them together at a business meeting. His heart pounded in his chest and he longed to see her and hold her in his arms.That morning, as he drove to the meeting, he mentally reminded himself that today was a big day and he had to finish up all that he had to do on time. He tried to relax though. He couldn’t allow his excitement get the better of him and make him lose out on the deal.The meeting had gone well. He was able to sign the contract and he attributed his easy luck to Scarlet’s charm. He looked at his watch and his h

HIS RESURGENCE CHAPTER 77Benjamin Whitlock rarely used his fist. His words were enough to crumble anyone and he often used that. A phone call here, some buttons there and he could bring anyone to his knees. But it was different this time around.First, he had made phone calls. To his long time friends, business partners, acquaintances and international business colleagues. They all said the same thing.“We cannot go against Hernandez corporation. It has steadily taken over all aspects of the business sector and they are too powerful to mess with.”Xavier had not stuck with real estate alone. He spread his tentacles to aviation, ICT, technology, agriculture and other major aspects of the economy. He was a major shareholder in companies of repute. He had always had a knack for investments, and they were paying off now.After many rejections and declines to his call for help, he had used his fist. For the first time in a long time, he hit Alex on the face, his lip bled. Another punch s

HIS RESURGENCE CHAPTER 78Clara removed her heels and rubbed her feet. She was exhausted and hadn’t left her office all day. She had so much work piled up and she needed to finish up with the design she was creating.She looked around the office. The emptiness stared back at her. It was 7pm already and all the staff had gone home. She sighed and stood up from her seat. She walked towards the coffee machine and made herself a cup of coffee.Her mind wandered as she leaned on her desk, coffee in hand. She had had a heated argument with Vincent a day ago and he had not returned home since then. He had caught her in bed with an international client of hers.She had met Ortega at a fashion show and had left a good impression. He was the owner of a fashion magazine which he started in the Philippines but had now gained recognition in several countries.Being featured in his magazine would mean more clients for her and she decided not to let the opportunity slide. She had subtly seduced him

HIS RESURGENCE CHAPTER 79Xavier had relaxed a bit. The deep frown on his face had eased up and his jaws were no longer rigid. He loosened his tie and maneuvered a bend that led back to his company. Scarlet was seated next to him, watching him. She wondered what was going on in his head. Having to face the family that abandoned him and left him with nothing wasn’t an easy feat, but he had done it. She reached out her hand and made to touch him but thought against it. He still wasn’t himself. He had barely said anything on the ride back to the office. His mind seemed to be far away.He parked the car in the director’s spot and turned off the ignition.“Are you okay?”“Are you okay?”They stopped short and chuckled at their unison. They were worried about each other after all. Xavier nodded in response to her and she smiled and nodded too.“You did it. This is just the beginning Xavier. Soon they’ll realize how wrong they were to treat you the way they did.” Scarlet said. “How do you
HIS RESURGENCE Episode 80
HIS RESURGENCECHAPTER 80The halls were crowded and it took every bit of concentration and restraint to keep from bumping into anyone and knocking them over.As he maneuvered through the crowd, his mind was on a rampage and he feared the worst. The phone call he got from the hospital shocked him and scared him too.The nurse at the reception had told him where to find her. As he hurried towards her room, he prayed that she was okay. He couldn’t handle the thought of something bad happening to her. She had to be okay.The doctor was in the room with her checking her vitals. She sat on the bed and smiled weakly when she saw him standing at the door. She reached out a hand and he came closer.Xavier held her hand and looked her over to make sure she was okay. She had a slight cut on her lip and her head was bandaged. She looked tired but she wasn’t seriously injured. At least it wasn’t a bullet wound again. It would have been a different case entirely.“How is she doctor?” He asked, wo

How dare she try to play him for a fool?He opened his car and made to come out but was stopped as another car drove into the compound. He recognized the car and its owner. What was he doing here too?He waited for him to go inside the building and watched from behind. “So,they really were making plans behind to betray me? He asked himself. Nathaniel was going inside when he heard someone call his name, stopping him in his tracks. It was Scarlet.“You got a minute? “ she asked, heading towards him“You really shouldn’t be here right now.” He said, eyeing her. “You may not get out of here alive.”“Why’s that? She replied with the same expression. “Sounds like I’m being threatened.”Nathaniel pu

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

HIS RESURGENCE CHAPTER 147“You’re late.” Aurora said as Clara pulled up a chair and sat down across from her. 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

She had made countless reckless decisions that could come back to haunt her if she wasn’t careful.Like now, she was in big trouble.She got a call from a strange person early that day and was shocked to the bone with what the person knew about her. 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

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. 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.

HIS RESURGENCE CHAPTER 144The room looked really strange. It was beautiful, simple yet elegant. The designs and furnishings were definitely done by an expert. 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?”“
