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.

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 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.

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.

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 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

HIS RESURGENCE CHAPTER 81Clara paced frantically from one end of her large living room to the other. Her posh and fluffy cushion that usually enticed and calmed her did nothing to appease her anxiety this time around. It felt as though she was sitting on burning coal.Had her eyes and ears deceived her? Had it really been Vincent she had seen on her television screen? It had been him definitely. The press conference was even held at his company that had been shut down because of the incident. Now it was open and full of activities. And the words he had said on the news. They were like bombshells dropped directly into her ears. She felt a ringing sensation now, or was it a headache?The company never shut down. It was a simulation, a test run. It wasn’t real.These words kept replaying in her head and before she knew it, she was chanting them like a mantra. What was going on? Why would he make her believe that he had lost everything? Even if it was a simulation, he could have at lea
