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
HIS RESURGENCE CHAPTER 84Benjamin Whitlock sat on his favorite chair and rested his chin on his walking cane, his hands supporting his head. He stared into space and mulled over the piece of information he had just come across.The door opened and Clara walked in confidently this time. Her ex father-in-law had called for her so it was okay to be here.She sat down on a chair across from him and crossed one leg over the other.“I have a lot on my plate Mr Whitlock, I have no time for further questioning. Please make this quick.” She said, settling into her seat.Mr Whitlock smiled and sat up. He rested his cane beside him and brought out a file which he placed on the table. “Take a look at this Clara. I stumbled upon this while trying to find my son.”She looked at the file and back at him. If Mr Whitlock could call her over just for these documents then they had to be pretty important. She leaned in and picked up the files from the table, she opened it, took a look and dropped it in
HIS RESURGENCE CHAPTER 85The world was grey and lifeless. Nothing appealed to her anymore. Her once radiant, colorful life was now washed up and dull, like a faded painting on a canvas.The judge had been merciless, the accusations severe and worthy of grave punishment. 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. His face was straight and void of any emotion. It definitely wasn’t the Vincent she used to know, one who had once held her in his arms, made sweet love to her and whispered in her ear how much he loved her. This man was different, he was cold and unyielding. Nothing she pleaded meant anything to him.He really did sue her for everything she owned. She had broken their contract and therefore, her company was shutdown. She had to pay for the damages she had caused his company and reputation by pulling out before the stipulated time and
HIS RESURGENCE CHAPTER 86The box had been left untouched for a week now. He shouldn’t have brought it along but he was curious about the content. Why had he kept his belongings all these years? 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. He thought putting it out of sight would rid thoughts of it from his mind, but his curiosity had remained.He had been surprised when Mr Whitlock had called him over to the mansion. He didn’t know what to expect, but he had gone anyway.“I know why you’re doin
HIS RESURGENCE CHAPTER 87NINE DAYS AGOClara thought hard on the best way to get inside Xavier’s head again and slowly crawl her way back into his heart, but she knew that it would be a difficult task. She had hurt him terribly, cancelling their wedding just a few weeks before it happened and marrying his brother instead. There was no way he would want her back after that. But still she had to try.With the way things were going, she would have to beg on the street to survive and she couldn’t afford to do that. Going back to her parents wasn’t an option. They were better off than they had been when they lost everything they had, but Clara hadn’t stuck with them till things got better. She had left them immediately she was expelled from fashion school and had come to New York in search of greener pastures.Her parents had tried to reach out to her, but she wasn’t ready to go back home and start life over again. She had decided that her parents could no longer afford the life she want
HIS RESURGENCE CHAPTER 88The flight to Mexico City was a smooth one. He got there quite early and still had some time to go over the documents that would be the focus of the meeting. His company was expanding steadily and was already a household name. They were going to diversify and break into more areas of the economy.Scarlet had done a good job arranging his files and preparing pointers for the meeting. She had arranged them in their order of importance and had been very detailed in the process.He smiled as he remembered her expression when he had to leave. She was really cute when she was upset and pouting. His heart skipped a beat as her face formed in high definition in his mind. He hadn’t really paused to ask himself what he wanted with her. He loved being around her and with her. She brought a spark to his dark and gloomy life and he was thankful he had her. But was he willing to take this farther? Was his heart ready to open up and commit itself to someone again? Was he r
HIS RESURGENCE CHAPTER 89Her clothes lay scattered on the bed, tossed here and there with reckless abandon. Neither of them cared where the clothes landed, all they wanted was to rid themselves of anything that stood between both their skins.As the clothes on their body reduced until it became nothing, their lips were locked in a hot sensual kiss that allowed neither of them breathing space. Hands moved on each bodies and soon his mouth followed trailing kisses on her body, from her face to her toes. He came back up and patted her legs with his hand, and kissing his way upward till he reached her thighs. Clara was already writhing in pleasure and anticipation underneath him.He stopped for a moment and blew on her sex, sending shivers rippling through her. Her mouth parted slightly and a soft moan escaped her lips.Spreading her legs farther, he brought his tongue to her pussy and sucked on her clit, circling his tongue softly around it. Then he licked her like he was feasting on
HIS RESURGENCE CHAPTER 90Clara opened her eyes to a bright, clear- skied morning. The birds were already going about their business, chirping and tweeting happily as they did so. Yellow sun rays dripped through the window pane and white clouds bubbled in the bright blue sky.She turned on the soft bed and pushed down the blanket so she could sit up. She felt her head spin as she sat and drum beats played in her brain. She winced in pain and held on to her head. The weather was good, but she didn’t feel so good.As her eyes adjusted to the room and the throbbing in her head slowed, she looked around in realization that her room looked different, the decor was darker, not as bright colored as it was yesterday. The bed she sat on was bigger and this particular room was bigger than hers. She gazed in awe and confusion.“What the hell happened? Where am I?” She asked.“Relax, you’re still at the hotel.” A deep, silky smooth voice replied, it’s vibrations sending sensual signals through h
