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.

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.

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

HIS RESURGENCE CHAPTER 82 “Why would Alex try to kill Scarlet? They were friends and in fact, from what I understand, he was in love with her. It’s one of the reasons we got divorced." She replied in shock.“Well we need to find him to be able to ascertain what happened. If he ever contacts you, please make sure to put a call across to the station and we’ll respond swiftly. We need to find him. The victim was hospitalized.” The policeman said, handing her his card.“Su..sure.. I’ll let you know if he contacts me, although I highly doubt that. We’re not exactly on speaking terms.” She replied and turned to leave, still shocked by the revelation.She got in her car and sat there, her mind racing and searching for answers. Why would Alex try to kill Scarlet? He was in love with her. What could she possibly have done that was deserving of death?She had to find out the truth and she needed to find a way to get out of the mess she was in too. She turned the car around and headed for the

HIS RESURGENCE CHAPTER 83Vincent was in a meeting when she arrived at his office. Usually, she walked right in and no one questioned her. Everyone knew she was special to Vincent and he always made time to see her whenever she came by.But this time, the secretary told her to wait. She gleefully showed her to the reception area and pointed her to a seat. Obviously, the secretary hadn’t been on board with the idea of Vincent dating someone other than her and she made no effort to hide her satisfaction at the turn of event.Clara comported herself and made an effort at being civil. She couldn’t cause any trouble as it might jeopardize her reasons for coming here, so she smiled, sat down and muttered a half hearted thank you.“Do you know how long his meeting is going to take?” She asked, sitting down.“It might take a while. The board of directors and branch owners are all in there. Investors and partners have also connected virtually to the meeting so my guess is, it’s really importa
