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?

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 sound of the gavel that sealed the verdict would forever haunt her dreams. It echoed in her head now.She looked over to the corner where he was seated with his lawyer by his side.

Was he hoping he would come back for them or had he just concluded that he would not be able to survive on his own and held on to it until he returned. Could it be that he even forgot that his stuff was there in the first place? He even dared to wonder if his father had kept it because he genuinely missed him and wanted to have something to remind him of his son. But that would be a very unlike reason.He entered his room and into his wardrobe. The box was tucked inside it and covered up with the lines of clothes that filled the closet.
