The Rising Phoenix: Devisee’s escapade. Uneasy
Jason looked at the waitress, and he couldn’t help but notice that her outfit was different from most of the outfits that were worn by some of the waiters and waitresses in restaurants. She wore a red velvet skirt that had pearls attached in a straight line from the waist of the skirt down to its edge. Her white shirt had lovely embroideries that were irresistible to admire, and she also wore a red beret that had a large pearl attached to its center and was visible to the eyes of anyone who was going to look at her. Her black shoes also had pebbles attached to them, giving them a unique look that was also irresistible to admire. Jason was forced to look around to see if the rest of the waitresses and waitresses had the same outfit, and he could see that they were dressed exactly the same way. “Sir?” “Yes.” Jason quickly turned to look at the waitress who politely called out to him after waiting for a few seconds without him saying anything. “What would you like to have?” “
The Rising Phoenix: Devisee’s escapade. Petty Arrogance
An expression of unpleasant recognition appeared on Brenda’s face as soon as she saw the man looking at her with a smile on his face while he stood with a lady in a red velvet gown holding onto him. He wore a grey suit and held onto the car remote of the Bentley which he couldn't stop flashing just for everyone to see. “Marcelo,” Brenda whispered as a scowl appeared on her face instantly while she looked at the man who started to walk closer to her as soon as he confirmed that she was the one. Jason looked at Brenda, and he could see that with every step Marcelo took to get closer to her, she shivered slightly, blinking her eyes to express fear. It was obvious that the memories she had of Marcelo were unpleasant. “I can see that you have moved on so quickly, funny,” Marcelo said with a smirk on his face, and after he had looked at Jason for a while, he sniggered as soon as he returned his gaze to Brenda whose breath suddenly became unstable. “I can also say the same about yo
The Rising Phoenix: Devisee’s escapade. Fight me!
“What's so funny? Huh?” Marcelo asked angrily, vexed at how Jason was laughing at him. “I am sorry, man. It’s just that it appears that all you do is spend Daddy’s money without making any input. Don’t you think that buying a diamond ring with the meager income your father makes from his business is way too much?” Jason said with a smirk on his face, looking at Marcelo who growled angrily. “And what do you know about my father's company? Who do you think you are? Are you a car dealer?” Marcelo fired back at once, but Jason stood still while he chuckled softly before he responded to him. “Trust me, I am stronger and mightier than that. You see, Marcelo…” Jason said with a resonant tone, and then he cleared his throat before he continued. “Today, you walked into your oblivion yourself, and it is a day of reckoning for you. The day you pay for all your sins. I wonder why the lady here chose to wed you.” “That’s none of your business! How dare you threaten me? Do you know who my
The Rising Phoenix: Devisee’s escapade. Captured
In less than a minute, Jason was done with his call, and then he pocketed his phone before he turned to look at Brenda who was looking at Marcelo, and the signs of fright were still visible on her face, even in her eyes. Jason sighed heavily, and then he walked up to her grabbed her by her hands, and slowly led her to one of the seats at the table. “Come, take a seat.” He said calmly, and slowly, he led her to sit down until he was sure that she was comfortable. “There you go. I don’t want you worrying about anything, Brenda. That fool deserves everything that is happening to him and more. Here…” Jason grabbed the glass of wine in front of Brenda and handed it over to her. “Have some wine, and let me handle this, okay?” Jason said with a smile, and then he turned to walk away, but Brenda quickly grabbed his arm and dragged him backward. “What are you going to do to him? Will you kill him?” She asked with so much worry written on her face while Jason chuckled before giving he
The Rising Phoenix: Devisee’s escapade. Taken Away
Jason lifted his head, and when he saw them standing close to the door after they walked into the restaurant, he nodded in satisfaction, picked up a napkin from the table, and wiped his mouth. The two guards scoured the restaurant with their eyes, and as soon as they saw James who waved at them, they quickly hurried to Jason and bowed before him one after the other. “You sent for us, Young Master.” “Oh, yes! You are here on time.” Jason nodded, and then he grabbed the glass of wine from the table and took a sip before he slowly stood up from his seat with Brenda looking at him with so much curiosity. As soon as he saw that Jason was up, Marcelo continued mumbling loud words and struggled to get away from James who was so determined not to let him get away from his tight grip. The two guards who arrived recently looked at Marcelo, wondering what he had done, but when they saw the way he was being held and with the napkin stuck inside his mouth, they figured that he must have
The Rising Phoenix: Devisee’s escapade. To Comfort
“Come. Let me help you up.” Jason extended his hands toward Brenda who looked at him without making any move. It was obvious that she was too heartbroken to even think straight. “Brenda? We need to take you somewhere to cool your head.” “But I need to go back to the hospital, I have some patients to attend to,” Brenda said with a low tone, looking at Jason while she struggled to keep her eyes open. “I don’t think that’s going to be possible, Brenda. Look at you, you almost look like a mess, and there is no way I am going to let you go back to that hospital looking like this.” “What about your Grandfather? I still need to check his vitals, and monitor him just in case there are any new developments.” “Thats true,” Jason said with a low tone, and then he thought about what she said briefly until he came up with an idea. “I am sure that some other Doctor would be able to stand in for you, you can’t be the only Doctor working there. You can put a call across to them, and tell
The Rising Phoenix: Devisee’s escapade. The Brooks
Jason walked back to the car with James right behind him, and as soon as they got in, they drove to the hospital. “Wait here, James. I will be back soon, and then we will go to pay that moron a visit.”“Yes, Young Master.” James nodded while Jason got out of the car. He hurried into the hospital at once and walked to the reception where the two nurses on duty were seated. “Hello, Sir. How may we help you?” “Yes, hello…” Jason responded to the nurse on the left, waving to the two of them while they resounded with a bright smile. “Doctor Brenda is currently under the weather, and she asked that you call Doctor Angelo to take over while she recovers,” Jason explained to the nurses who got worried at once while their smiles disappeared. “Oh, no. What is wrong with her? Is she gonna be okay? Where is she?” “She is safe! Calm down, she just got exhausted and needed some rest. It must have been as a result of working for so long, you guys seem to have fewer hands here, and mo
The Rising Phoenix: Devisee’s escapade. Stubborn Pervert
James eagerly drove the car out of the hospital vicinity and in less than forty-five minutes they got to their destination. James parked the car in front of the building, and Jason got down a few seconds before he got out as well, and they headed to the back at once. “Welcome, Young Master.” One of the guards who was standing in front of the door that led to the tunnel at the back of the house said to Jason as soon as he saw him walking toward them. “Where is that pervert?” “Tied up inside.” “Good! Take me to him.” Jason said with a nod, and then he followed the guards who turned at once and led him through the tunnel to the dark room where Marcelo was kept. “Let me go you fools! Let me go!” Marcelo’s voice could be heard from a distance as he struggled to free himself from the chair he was tied to with a chain that dangled with every move he made. “Hello? Is anyone there? Let me go! Let me go this minute! I have a meeting to attend!” He continued shouting almost at the

Marry me
It had been a month since Julius was brought out of prison, and everything was going as everyone had hoped for. He had been of good conduct, keeping to the conditions that were given to him by Jason. But that didn’t mean that any chances could be taken with him. His reputation as a notorious criminal who had claimed lives made it quite difficult to trust him. The fact that he had been exonerated from the guilt of his actions was too much grade for him, and it would have been foolish of him to let it go to waste. He had spent the entire month begging for Shirley’s forgiveness, but she kept her distance, maintaining a mutual relationship with him which was based on the fact that they had a child together. Xavier on the other hand was old enough to understand that sometimes things don’t always go the way we want them. Even though he wished that his parents could be together someday, he also knew that his mother was only trying to be safe. She didn’t want to have to repeat the sam
Conditional Freedom
Days turned to weeks, and then to a month. Jason fulfilled his promise to Xavier and made sure he went to one of the best schools in the city. He knew that the boy still thought about his father even though he stopped talking about him, probably because his mind was occupied with school assignments, and some of the things Jason got him involved in just to make sure he stayed away from silly acts. Seated with Lord Walker, Jason waited patiently for the old man to speak, aware of what was about to be heard. “Jack?” Lord Walker leaned forward before he continued. “I know that Julius isn’t particularly the best Uncle in the entire world, but he is still family. I know that this is a very difficult decision for you to make. But you have to do this for the sake of the boy…” Lord Walker paused for a few seconds just to be certain that Jason was listening to him. He sighed softly and continued with a more audible tone. “Keeping him there way cause be painful for the boy even thoug
Reunion
Standing in front of Jason was Clark, the same best friend who turned out to be one of his enemies. He had lost his charm and confidence and almost looked like a better. He couldn’t even look at Jason for more than a few seconds before he bent his face to the ground in shame. It appeared that his outfit was oversized, but that was only proof that he had lost a lot of weight. “Why are you here, Clark? I am sure you didn’t just come to stare at me.” Jason broke the silence between them, staring at Clark with a smirk on his face. Brenda would have asked a few questions, but as soon as Jason mentioned the name of the man standing in front of them, she remembered some of the stories he told him about how his best friend betrayed him and went after his wife. She was only interested to know why Clark was there. “I am here to ask for your forgiveness, Jason. I also want to appreciate you for getting me out of jail.” Clark managed to say with a shaky tone. He couldn’t even look at Ja
I am Pregnant!
It had been three days since Xavier and his mother pleaded that Julius be set free but nothing had been done about it. Jason was taking his time to make a decision about his step-uncle’s fate. It seemed like it was going to take more time before he could be able to come t a conclusion. Lord Walker himself was wondering why Jason had not said anything about it, but he also knew that he was worried about his safety. After seeing and hearing what Julius was capable of, Jason had no other option than to keep the decision pending until he was done with some of the plans he had in mind. First, he enrolled Xavier in high school. He attended one of the best schools in Granada Hills, and the goal was to make sure that the young man didn’t need up on the streets ever again. Shirley on the other hand was going through a rehabilitation process. She was made to speak to someone and undergo struct measures of check which were often conducted to make sure she didn’t go back to her old habi
Release Him
The next day, it was finally time to bring back Lord Walker from the hospital after his recovery. Jason went together with the Butler, Brenda, and Xavier who insisted that he was going to go with them. Not only was he eager to see his mother, but he also wanted to see his Grandfather who almost sacrificed himself for his sake. By the time they arrived at the hospital, the old man was already seated on the bed while one of the nurses attending to him handed him over his drugs and a glass of water. “Thank you, my dear.” He said to the nurse as soon as he was done with his medication while he handed over the empty glass to her. He turned to his visitors and the brightness of his face increased at once, causing him to gesture to them at once. “I know what you are about to say, Jack…” He shook his head, but that wasn’t going to stop Jason from expressing himself. “That was really silly, Grandpa! You almost got yourself killed!” Jason walked up to the old man ahead of the other
Retribution
Xavier hesitated for a while, but he eventually mustered the guts to move. “Go ahead.” Jason urged him as soon as he took the first steps, and he continued moving, eyes on his father who was shocked to see him. Julius could tell that Xavier was truly his son, he didn’t think he needed any DNA to prove that. The resemblance was alarming, and the fact that the boy reminded him of himself when he was about the same age was enough. But he didn’t seem like he was the proudest father at that moment. He was glad that he had been given the opportunity to see his son, but he was equally ashamed of himself. Unable to get closer to the iron bars, he stood where he was, waiting patiently for Xavier to get closer to him. The boy stood in front of his father, staring at him without knowing what exactly he was supposed to say at that moment. The reunion wasn’t as pleasant as he had expected it to be. Father and son remained for over a minute, but their eyes said a lot to each other while
His Father
With their panic rising, Jason and Brenda paced along the hallway, waiting for anyone to come out of the theater. It had gotten so long that Jason had to send for Cara who came along with some guards to take Henry back to the Villa while they continued waiting anxiously. Eventually, the Doctor came out of the theater dripping with sweatballs that ran down his face. “Doctor?! What’s going on?” Jason asked anxiously, but instead of giving him a response, the Doctor moved to Brenda and whispered some words into her ear, making sure that Jason wasn’t going to hear their conversation. Brenda responded with a whisper as well before the Doctor nodded and hurried back to the theater without saying a word to Jason whom he only stared at while he expected him to say something. “Why didn’t he say anything to me?! What did he say, babe? Talk to me!” Jason moved closer to Brenda who looked like she didn’t know how to tell him what the Doctor whispered into her ear. “Brenda?” Jason call
Seizure
Brenda was silent for a while, but Jason was patient enough to wait for a response to his question. Firstly, she grabbed Henry from Jason and made sure he was sitting comfortably on her legs. She took in a deep breath which she let out slowly before she turned to look at Jason. “I am listening, Brenda. What were you guys discussing back there?”“Nothing really. Just girls’ talk.” “Okay?” Jason featured with both hands, indicating that he wanted to hear more details about their discussion. “I thought you said you were not so much interested in her, Jay. Why bothering to ask what we were discussing?”“Me? When did I say that?”“Well, you implied it.” Brenda shrugged, looking at Jason with a smirk on her face. “Just tell me what you guys were talking about back there, Brenda. She could have said something that needs to be verified by me. No other person knows her like I do.” Jason insisted. “Okay, fine.” Brenda sighed. “I was just worried about the way she looked, that’s
Motherhood
The sight of his ex-wife made Jason sigh, his previous countenance gave way for a frown that appeared as he stared at Isabella who managed to push the two guards aside because they let her do so. But they went after her and grabbed her at once, restraining her efforts to get close to Jason or her son. “Jason! Tell them to let me go! Let me go! Let me go!” Isabella continued to struggle with the guards, but she eventually got tired, panting in exhaustion while Jason and Brenda watched her with a little surprised written all over their faces. Henry recognized his biological mother, but it didn’t look like he was really concerned or excited to see her. He just stared at her as though he was trying to recall where he met her. “Tell them to let me go, Jason! Please.” Isabella pleaded, but Jason wasn’t really interested in the words that she uttered. What made him curious was the fact that she looked very unkempt and malnourished. It had been a few weeks since he last saw her, and h
