HIS RESURGENCE

CHAPTER 92

Nelson withers knocked at Xavier’s office and went in on Xavier’s permission. He looked around his office and then on his desk. 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. They had met on several occasions and had become friends. They weren’t that close, but both of them graduated college with the best results, and to achieve that, they learnt from each other occasionall

    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

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.

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

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.

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

She never went to bed without a bottle of water next to her.Her eyes widened in shock at the realization that she wasn’t in the right apartment. Where was she?

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.

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.

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?”“
