HIS RESURGENCE

CHAPTER 87

NINE DAYS AGO

Clara 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 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

    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

But Mr Whitlock had turned her down.“There’s no guarantee that this plan of yours will succeed, and yet I have spent so much already supporting you. Do you have any idea how much the hotel you’re staying in costs? Why did you have to get drunk and bust someone’s car?”“It was an accident, I didn’t mean for it to happen. Besides, this is an opportunity to get close to Xavier. Please, I need some more money.”“Well, you’re going to have to get it elsewhere. I won’t bear all the cost for this scheme of yours.” He replied and hung up.She sat on the bed and stared at the ceiling as if the money she needed was glued up there. What was she going to do now? There was no one else to call and she couldn’t let this opportunity pass.She had no other choice. She had to do what she swore she would never do, she had to swallow her pride and

He smiled when he noticed that the heap of files that had been stacked on his desk had reduced drastically. There were only two of them left. He had been afraid he wouldn’t be able to make it.Xavier looked up from his computer and nodded a greeting to him, smiling equally. Nelson worked in his company as the head of finance. He was really good at his job and had received an award for the employee of the year. He was getting married now and tonight was his bachelors party. He had invited all his friends and colleagues at the office, especially Xavier.Xavier and Nelson went to college together, although Xavier was a year ahead of him.

The bars were filled up, clubs were packed and a lot of people sat beside the pool in several hotels to rewind and wash off the stress of the week.Music blared from every corner of the street and excitement filled the air, but no one was as excited as Clara littman. She moved through the streets in her car, music playing from the stereo. She couldn’t help but move her body to the music and sing along with glee. Xavier sat beside her, asleep and his head drooping, he was unaware of his surrounding and had no idea where he was.Clara looked beside her and butterflies seemed to dance in her stomach at the sight of him. She smiled to herself and thanked her lucky star for the opportunity to be alone with him.She stopped in front of her house and opened the door. Xavier woke up at that moment and looked around, still under the influence. She

The memory was faint now and he could barely remember her face or her expression when she abandoned him there, promising to come back for him but never got around to doing so even at this very moment. He had been so lost and confused, he just stood there, letter and DNA test results in hand and tears in his eyes. His mother had been gone for an hour now and there was still no sign of her. The whitlocks had driven in thirty minutes later and were surprised to find a boy who had a striking resemblance with Benjamin, and a birthmark on the shoulder that matched the one on his, standing at their front door. He had no idea what to expect, but he handed over the letter to the man whom her mother had told her was his real father and looked around in fear. A woman stood be

It would be too obvious that she was behind the abduction if she went right ahead to ask him to hand over the company back to the whitlocks. Benjamin was furious at his first son for using the company, his life’s work as part of his revenge scheme, but he wasn’t that desperate as to kidnap someone to get it back. He was the kind of man that fought with wits and strategies, not hasty, sloppy attacks. She knew then, that the only suspect would be her, Xavier would figure it out quickly, he was smart.She thought hard about what to do. All she wanted was to get her son’s company back and that was what she would ask for as ransom for that woman’s freedom.“But there’s something else you can do.” Marcus said over the phone.“What’s that?”“Alex.”“What are you talking about? Alex is nowhere to be found, no one knows where he is.”“Exactly. That’s why he’ll be the one behind the abduction.”“I’m not following.” Aurora complained.

What was he doing here too?He waited for him to go inside the building and watched from behind. “So,they really were making plans behind to betray me? He asked himself.

She didn’t like Aurora one bit, but she didn’t wish death on her, especially not at the hand of her own son.Mr Whitlock had been with her when she called. 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. And then he had heard Aurora talking with Clara about everything she had done. The fact that she had no remorse brought bile to his throat and he fought the urge to throw up.How could she have deceived him for over twenty years? How did he not know about it and about Alex’s condition. How negligent had he been of his home and his kids?So after he had heard everything and confronted her, he needed to get away. He c

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. He wants nothing to do with me Clara, he hates me.”“You’ll be going up against him if you fight for the c

She had made countless reckless decisions that could come back to haunt her if she wasn’t careful.Like now, she was in big trouble.She got a call from a strange person early that day and was shocked to the bone with what the person knew about her. The voice was manipulated of course so she didn’t know who it was.“I know you’re a killer Aurora. 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. He called again.“Surprised?” He asked when she picked up the second time.“Who are you?”“Why do people ask that when they know they’re not going to get a reply?”“What do you want?”“Now that’s a be

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. There was no one in the living room or in the study.Last night just had to be real.She stopped in her tracks, her hand cov

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?”“
