The Rising Phoenix: Devisee’s escapade. Served!
It had only been a few days since Jason started working for the Palmers, but Isabella wanted to get rid of him so passionately. She was tired of seeing him around, especially whenever he came close to his son who had been crying uncontrollably since he left and seemed so joyful at his return. Jason had just gotten up from his bed that early morning, he prepared himself and was about to step into the bathroom in the cabin when a heavy knock landed on the door. Wondering who it was, he slowly pushed the door to behold the sight of the Palmer’s family Attorney standing in-front of him. He was dressed in a fine black suit with a stripped blue tie to match. Opening a file he had in his hand, he brought out an envelope and handed it over to Jason with a disdainful look on his face. Before Jason could utter any word, William turned and left. Jason unsealed the envelope and glanced through the contents of the letter inside. It was a court hearing; Isabella filed for a divorce and sole posse
The Rising Phoenix: Devisee’s escapade. The Divorce
Jason was dusting some of the pictures hanging on the wall in the lobby, it was morning but there was no one around. He was whistling to his favorite rhythm; same pattern, same sound and with the smile on his face.The door to the lobby soon flung open and Clara walked in immediately in her exorbitant heels, she was gently dragging a young man. That was Stephen her husband; a popular basketball star who played for the Lakers of Los Angeles. He wore a nice golden chain around his neck with an expensive Rolex watch on his wrist. He was a fine man.“Oh well, if it isn't the unfortunate gold digger. What a bad way to start the day, with your abhorring presence.” Clara said looking at Jason with disgust, she looked at Jason from his hair down to his toe and squeezed her face, twisting her nose as though she perceived a foul odor.“It must be really hard trying to fit into the status as a mendicant. I am sure you would feel better after today.” Stephen said as they walked past J

“Looking at the files in front of me, I must say that I am very disappointed that an attorney would be involved in such hideous behavior. To say that I am very disappointed is the least of the feelings I have.” The Judge said firing shots of annoyance at William who still kept his face downwards. “Say something, say something William! Don’t just keep mute.” Isabella whispered loudly looking at William whose outfit was suddenly soaked not responsive to the cooling air from the air condition. “This firm has lasted for years on the strong foundation of justice and equity and I wouldn’t have you ruin this standard we have set here. I would deal with this matter of deception much later when this is over.” The Judge blared again holding up all the files William had presented to him, then he kept them aside and gathered the files Jason’s attorney handed over to him placing them one after the other on the table. There was over a minute of silence coated with great tension rising from ev
The Rising Phoenix: Devisee’s escapade. The Verdict
The two attorneys stood up almost at the same time and headed towards the corner where the Judge pointed to. “I see you are still enslaving for the Palmers William.” “Well, they pay more than this leech of a client of yours Gregory! I wonder how he will be able to afford you. You clearly do not know who you are involved with.” William retorted with a smirk as he walked to meet up with the Judge. Gregory Jason’s attorney smiled with a slight shake of his head. “If only they know.” He said with a voice a little above a whisper before he joined the Judge still holding on to one of the files he came with. “I hope your clients have come to a resolution, we do not have to delay this any further.” The judge said still glaring at William with disappointment. “Certainly your honor. In here are the detailed information of the conditions listed by my client which my colleague on behalf of his client has agreed to.” Gregory said and pulled out another document from the blue file.

Isabella with her companions couldn’t believe everything that had transpired, it all seemed like some movie they were watching in a cinema. “This can’t be real. Impossible!” She whispered to the hearing of William and Clark whose buttocks were becoming hurting from the discomfort they felt seating in the middle of the whole confusion. “Gentlemen and lady, I must take my leave now. My client and I are grateful that we were able to come to a definite conclusion of this legal seating. I would make the necessary arrangements with my colleague here and all documents regarding this divorce would be sent across.” Gregory said after he stood up, then he shook hands with Jason who smiled at him before he left. Seeing that everything was over and that the heat he felt inside of him was gradually leaving and his body temperature normalizing, William stood up gently avoiding Jason’s gaze remembering how rudely he had spoken to him the day before. “I will be taking my leave now Miss Pal
The Rising Phoenix: Devisee’s escapade. What happened Bella?
Isabella couldn’t say any word. She kept mute for a few seconds unable to get herself to tell her mother of the twist of the encounter she had at the law firm. Seeing the worrisome look on her face, Fiona turned towards Clark with an inquisitive stare but the young man seemed to be in the same gloomy mood as her daughter. “What’s wrong baby! Is everything ok? Clark?” Fiona asked as her heart began to slowly speed up with irregular beats for some reason that wasn’t clear to her. “Oh don’t tell me you are thinking twice about dumping his silly ass! He was a poor bastard and couldn’t have been able to ever take care of you. He wouldn’t have been able to match your standards.” Maya said appearing from the back with her right hand clutching her phone tightly. “Come here Sweetie. No one to be sad you did absolutely the right thing.” Chloe said and embraced Isabella tightly with a smile on her face. Exactly my thoughts, I don’t know why she would be carrying a long face. Who wouldn
The Rising Phoenix: Devisee’s escapade. Silence
Jason ignored the looks on the faces of the members of the Palmer family in the living room and walked into the room slowly, this time with a straight face. He made his way towards the staircase but Jacob quickly blocked him with a slight push on his chest. “Where the hell do you think you are going?” Jacob asked glaring shots of displeasure and eagerness to start a fight with Jason. Jason clutched his fists, tightening them as though he was about to throw a punch but inhaling slowly, he let go of the anger inside of him. Jacob was really getting on his nerves and certainly he was going to pay for his actions. “What do you intend to do about that? Fight me? You dare not! Else I would have you locked up and the keys your cell thrown into the Pacific Ocean.” Jacob glared as he saw that Jason had tightened his fists together. “I do not have time for this Jacob, kindly leave my way!” “And if I don’t? What are you gonna do about that yeah fight me? Coward!” Jason ignored J
The Rising Phoenix: Devisee’s escapade. Rage!
Andrew was the first to come down, he had always been expecting his grandmother to react in a certain way especially with the arrival of Jason to the house which Isabella didn’t seem to handle so well as they had expected. “Good evening Mum. How are you?” Fiona asked her mother standing up gradually from her sitting position, but the woman sneered at her and rolled her eyes at the same time. “Where is Isabella? Where is she?” “Welcome Granny how was your day?” Andrew said smiling at Lady Palmer whose temper was rising beyond the surface of the building. “Does it mean that no one understood my question or I am speaking in a foreign language? I said where is Isabella? For the last time, where is she?” “I will go fetch her Mum, please be calm.” Fiona pleaded and rushed outside the house and towards the pool. Lady Palmer at this point was pacing around the living room livid, her breath was escalating above it’s normal pace and her hands shaking amidst the effects of the n
