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

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

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

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 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

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

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

He had seen her car parked outside the restaurant and knew something was happening inside. He hadn’t wanted to stop by but he did just to see what she was doing there.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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?”“
