HIS RESURGENCE

CHAPTER 21

Xavier slowly opened his eyes, his vision blurry. He blinked severally and tried to sit up. The searing pain he felt jogged his memory. He remembered the meeting and then going back to the hotel. He remembered the car that followed them to the airport, and then the gunshot. He remembered Scarlet and the frightened look on her face.

“Be careful. You had a bullet in your stomach.” Scarlet said.

He sat up with difficulty and turned to look at her. Her eyes were swollen and had dark circles underneath. He wondered if she had cried or if she had been able to sleep at all.

“My father.” He said, finally sitting up. “You didn’t tell him about this did you?”

Scarlet sighed and as she opened her mouth to respond, Xavier’s phone rang.

“How are you son?” Don Alfredo asked

“I’m fine dad.”

“Liar. Do you really think I wouldn’t find out about what happened at the airport?”

Xavier turned and looked accusingly at Scarlet.

“I didn’t tell him.” Scarlet mouthed

“After the rece

HIS RESURGENCECHAPTER 151A black, tinted Sedan pulled up in the compound and the driver waited inside, watching to see if anyone was home. 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. 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

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

HIS RESURGENCE CHAPTER 146Aurora checked her watch again. It was way past the time they agreed on. He was running late and she was getting apprehensive. She had to get back home before Benjamin returned. Lately, she felt like he was watching her and she could not afford to skip. 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
