HIS RESURGENCE Episode 97
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

That was how he felt whenever he was with her.Last night had been magical.

THE HEIRCHAPTER 100THIRTY TWO YEARS AGO Angelica woke up feeling nauseous and unsteady. She tried to sit up and grab the glass of water on the table next to the bed. She reached for the glass but felt nothing. Surprised, she turned to her side table in search of it. 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? Whose bedroom was this and how had she gotten there?She tried to recollect and retrace where she had been and what she had done in the last twenty four hours but her mind was as blank as the pages of a new book. Her head ached as she tried to force the memories back. She winced in pain and held on to her head.“Don’t try so hard Angelica, you’ll hurt yourself.”She turned, frozen by the voice she heard. One she thought she had escaped for good. How did he find her again?She jolted out of the bed and almost fell back down. The room spun and this time she though

He had done his best to push the memories out of his mind and focus on what truly mattered.But Aurora had leveled so many accusations against him which got him thinking if there were any truths to them.When he found Xavier standing at his door many years ago, it hadn’t taken him long to figure out who he was. He just had that knowing, a connection he couldn’t explain. But he was blinded by rage.How could she do that to him? He had searched for her all over after those pictures were shown to him. He was ready to talk to her, let her explain things herself because he knew that Aurora would do everything within her power to tear them apart.

THE HEIR CHAPTER 102Clara walked out of the office, mustering as much courage as she could. She did her best to hide the fact that her pride had been hurt, but what did it matter? She knew quite well that Scarlet has won this one and that she would be giddy with happiness at her embarrassment today.Everything was going well. When she told her of their night together at the bar, she could tell that she had been hurt by it and it gladdened her.How did things turn for the worst so quickly? Why had she pushed her luck?If she had just left the office quietly and had been satisfied with her little win, she wouldn’t have witnessed what she did at his office.Were they really that close? Did he really love her that much? Did she stand a chance now?She got in her car and attempted to start it but it only sputtered and stopped. She tried the ignition again but it refused to respond.“Fuck!” She yelled, hitting the wheel and screaming her head off.She looked around to make sure no one was

HIS RESURGENCE CHAPTER 103The event had been as big as he was told. Dignitaries from all parts of the continent were in attendance. Governors, business tycoons, the press and everyone that mattered were all present at the center. The Don was right, no one would pass up the chance to be captured and televised for their good deeds and involvement in charity. For most, it was all about getting good press for their personal ambition and not necessarily their genuine interest for the cause.It didn’t matter though.Everything that had happened that day slipped by in a blur. He couldn’t pay attention to the event, something else distracted him.He glanced towards the source of his distraction now, seating across from him and he breathed deeply, loosening his tie a little for better passage of air.With everything that had been happening recently, Xavier had completely forgotten the event his father had told him to attend in Los Angeles. His company was a major sponsor and it was important

HIS RESURGENCE CHAPTER 104“Check the CCTVs around the area, check the ones on every exit as well. We need to find out who did this.” Xavier said in the control room where he waited with the security guards, his chest heaving angrily.Who was it that had placed that bloody note in front of his door? What did they mean by their warning? What were they referring to?Scarlet sat in the lobby with don Alfredo. She was shaken up by the weird note and it scared her to her bones. She rested her head on Don Alfredo’s shoulder and he patted her, soothing her and calming her frail nerves.Xavier came out of the control room, still looking agitated. He shook his head sideways indicating that the surveillance cameras hadn’t been helpful.“Nothing?” Don asked“Nothing Dad. There was nothing out of the ordinary in the footage. Only the workers have gone in and out of the building and they each underwent security check before they were allowed to work at this event.” He replied, ruffling his hair i

He saw some movements in the house through the window and he smiled to himself. This was becoming a lot more fun.How could she have tried to deceive him? How dare she try to play him for a fool?He opened his car and made to come out but was stopped as another car drove into the compound. He recognized the car and its owner. 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. Nathaniel was going inside when he heard someone call his name, stopping him in his tracks. It was Scarlet.“You got a minute? “ she asked, heading towards him“You really shouldn’t be here right now.” He said, eyeing her. “You may not get out of here alive.”“Why’s that? She replied with the same expression. “Sounds like I’m being threatened.”Nathaniel pu

HIS RESURGENCECHAPTER 150Police sirens rented the air, breaking the silence of the night. They drove at top speed behind Scarlet’s car towards the crime scene. Someone had been shot.Scarlet had called the cops when she heard the gunshot over the phone. 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.

His RESURGENCECHAPTER 149“You were right about Alex.” Clara said when Aurora had sat down and ordered a drink. “He really acted strange yesterday and almost choked me to death. 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. If he’s exposed and gets locked up in a mental hospital, I don’t have to worry about my

HIS RESURGENCE CHAPTER 148“No, no, NO! It can’t be. She would never betray me like that. She wouldn’t do that to her own son. How could she? “Clara stared at him, her mouth open. 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

HIS RESURGENCE CHAPTER 147“You’re late.” Aurora said as Clara pulled up a chair and sat down across from her. Clara looked around, taking in the view.“Nice place, I guess you’ve still got some money to spare.” Aurora’s face whitened and colour completely faded. 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

HIS RESURGENCECHAPTER 145Scarlet could not remember the last time she had slept so soundly. She had nightmares every night and was afraid to close her eyes ever since Xavier left her. 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

HIS RESURGENCE CHAPTER 144The room looked really strange. It was beautiful, simple yet elegant. The designs and furnishings were definitely done by an expert. 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?”“
