HIS RESURGENCE CHAPTER 91Things did not go as planned. She had thought that after the phone call, everything would be settled and she would have the money. 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?

HIS RESURGENCE CHAPTER 93Friday nights were busy and bubbly. It seemed as though everyone on the planet were out partying and having a great time. 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

HIS RESURGENCE CHAPTER 94The only time he had experienced fear beyond his capacity to handle, to the point that he cried, was when his mother had left him in front of Mr whitlock’s mansion when he was seven years old. 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

HIS RESURGENCE CHAPTER 95THREE DAYS AGOMarcus had a point. 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.

HIS RESURGENCE CHAPTER 96Sirens blared in the darkness and the silent woods became agog with cacophonous sounds. The woods lit up with the flashes from the police vehicles that had surrounded the little shack.They had arrived just in time to hear a gun go off and a high pitched shriek from a woman whom they figured was the captive. They separated themselves into two teams, one stayed out in front, guns pointed and ready to fire if the abductor tried to escape and the other team pushed open the door and went inside in search of the criminal.There was blood on the floor. Someone had been shot but no body was in sight. The shot was not fatal.The police looked around and saw a woman wrapped in a man’s arms, his hand shielding her and comforting her.“Where is he?” One of the men asked.“He fled.” Xavier replied. “I shot him in the leg, but he got away immediately he heard you arrive. He’s hurt, but he know these woods.”“He couldn’t have gone far with a bullet in his leg. We’ll find

HIS RESURGENCE CHAPTER 97Xavier didn’t get any sleep that night. He tossed and turned on his bed, his mind a raging water, restless and relentless. How would he convince her to leave? He wanted her to be safe and away from the problems that would come from being associated with him. But she was stubborn and had resolved to do as she pleased.The cops had called him just before he went to bed. They hadn’t caught the abductor, they had lost a man with a bullet in his leg, how incompetent could they be?That piece of information only worsened the situation. That means there’s one more criminal on the loose who’d do anything to take Whitlock corporation from him, including hurting Scarlet. He could take care of himself, but he couldn’t say that about Scarlet. She’d only be a distraction and a weakness to him.It had hurt him to ask her to leave, frankly he wasn’t sure that was what he wanted. But right now, he had to do what was best for the both of them. Scarlet would be safer with Do

A voice hummed softly in the kitchen and as he descended the stairs, he wished each morning could be just like this.Scarlet turned and almost bumped into a shirtless figure standing behind her. She had been too busy to notice him walk in.“I’m sor..ry, my bad.” She said quickly He moved towards the kitchen counter and grabbed a glass, not saying a word. He opened the fridge and poured himself a glass of water.“There’s coffee and some snacks if you want.”“I’m good, thanks.” He replied and went upstairs. Scarlet sat down at the table and ate quickly. She hadn’t come in her car and she had to get to work too, she didn’t want to be left behind.Xavier came down a few minutes later already dressed and ready for the office.“Don’t leave without me.”“I have to catch up with a meeting..”“Don’t leave without me.”“Scarlet..”“I get tha
