The Rising Phoenix: Devisee’s escapade. Dominance!
“I knew it! You owe me your salary for this week.” Norah said victoriously with a smile on her face. She was not only happy that she had won her bet, she was also happy that the shabby looking fellow who came to disturb the peace of the hotel would be dealt with accordingly. The silence which lasted for almost a minute was overshadowed by the voices of the observes who mumbled inaudible words. Some laughed and jeered at Jason, which some others cured at him for being a thief and trying to use another person’s debit card claiming that it was his. “Oh the delight I would have from battering you out of this place.” Said the guard as he made a move to raise his baton against Jason but Leonard raised his hand to signal him to a stop. “Before you do that, I would have to take the precious card from him before it is ruined in the process.” Leotard said with a smile showing that his plans were falling in place. “I told you this fool was a fraud didn’t I?” The words spoken by Mira rea
The Rising Phoenix: Devisee’s escapade. Payback
The man seemed really afraid of the shabby looking man in front of him as he continued to plead without raising his face. This went cold shivers into the nerves of all those who had made bets with him. “That’s Me Garry! The Manager of this Hotel. Is he really on the floor or are my eyes deceiving me?” Said an onlooker from a distance. The old lady who has made her move to leave the scene out of annoyance was frozen and this effect was not only for her, it was distributed to everyone in the room, the stillness, the rising tension and the pounding heartbeats amidst open mouths were truly remarkable. “Who could that be? That young man definitely is someone of high dignity for Mr Garry to prostrate before him.” “More like a god! Norah.” Hilda said to Norah as they watched with their mouth agape. The stillness didn’t stop Leonard’s heart from pounding against his chest, he took three steps backward as though he was preparing to take off gulping in saliva. No matter how he tried t

The lady remained silent for a while unable to say her name. The fear on her face was glaring as her hands continued to shake. “Didn’t you hear him? Speak up now or have your body whipped!” Gary said angrily raising his right hand as though he was about to hit her. “Hilda! Hilda, my name is Hilda!” She said with a panic holding on to her chest and bending her head with her eyes closed from the moment she saw the huge hand rise above her. She gradually opened them when she waited for a few seconds and no hand touched her. At that point, she had already let out a shrilling cry. “Hilda? That’s a nice name.” Jason said with a smile, then he turned towards the dog who has been quiet for a while. “You have a cute dog Hilda.” “Thank you sir. His name is Milo.” She said unable to raise her face to look at the man who had a strangely calm attitude that was accompanied with a constant smile that refused to leave his face. “We had a deal Hilda and I love to obey every rule I come ac
The Rising Phoenix: Devisee’s escapade. Succesful
Mira’s heart sank deeper and deeper into her stomach, even from afar it was visible that her hand was shaking as she tried to catch her breath. “Si…Sir.” She couldn’t find the words she wanted to speak. Francis gave her a stare that read ‘I warned you!’ as he took interval glances at her. Mira looked for solace but she found none. “Come on, don’t be scared. I don’t bite.” Jason said calmly with a smile, but this only made matters worse for Mira who definitely knew that the man was going to ‘bite’ in one way or the other especially after what she had seen him do. “Mira dear, I would really want us to check the card again. Who knows, it may have been a case of network glitch.” Jason said with a smirk taking two steps forward towards Mira. “But Sir…Bu…” Mira stammered amidst the tension that had already taken over her entire existence. She looked around, but no one seemed to care about her situation, they only looked because they wanted to see what was going to become of her by th
The Rising Phoenix: Devisee’s escapade. Spared
The guard was speechless, his courage had already left him a long time ago when the Hotel Manager hit him. Standing by the corner and having watched as others were dealt with, he could only wish that his condition could be lighter. “What’s your name Mister?” Jason asked taking a step forward towards the guard. “Owen Sir.” He responded without lifting his head. His entire body was itching me as sweat poured down from all the pores in his body. His breathing was heightened and his hand shook to the sound of his heartbeat which had no plans of stopping. “Owen? That’s a very good name.” Jason said smiling, then he covered up the little space between them and placed his right hand on Owen’s shoulder making him to whimper as he saw the hand going down thinking that Jason was about to hit him. “Such a big for nothing baby. He already yelps even without being touched.” “I wonder what his punishment would be.” The man responded to his business partner still holding on to his glass of

Owen went towards the man who held up his phone capturing everything that was unfolding but for some reason, the man didn’t react when he came close to him. He only held up his camera right in front of him and continued to record. This made Owen angry and determined to follow the instruction Jason have to him to the latter. Without any further hesitation, he bent over and lifted the man from the ground to the shock of everyone around. “How dare you! Do you know who I am? Let me down this minute you fool!” The man barked but all his utterances met deaf ears as Owen continued to carry him towards the reception area not ready to let him go. “Didn’t you hear me? I said let me down this minute! I can make you disappear!” He continued barking but Owen already had chosen a side which evidently came from the devil he knew. “What do you think the stranger is going to do to that man?” “I don’t know let’s watch I guess this is because he was recording.” Norah replied her colleague as s

“Hello Mr Harry, I have a complaint to lay and I think you should really relate this to Lord Wilson.” David said with so much confidence, but his words only made Gary to burst out in deep laughter while Jason smiled and gave a slight nod. David seemed very much surprised by the unexpected reaction he was getting from Gary and the other man who he didn’t think really mattered, but even in the midst of the confusion that was building gradually inside of him, he still insisted on going ahead with his plans. He listened to what Harry said and nodded in agreement making gestures at Gary with his left hand to tell him that his plans were in motion. “Yes Mr Harry, I have a video record of a man who was causing so much nuisance in the Royal Chambers hotel this night while Mr Gary stood there and did absolutely nothing. He even let the man humiliate the Assistant Manager and two staff members.” David said with full confidence and so much pride laced in his tune. He really felt he was w
The Rising Phoenix: Devisee’s escapade. Gratified
The next morning, as early as the first flicker of dawn, Jason got up from the bed in the presidential suite. It had been an amazing night for him sleeping on the king sized bed and having to sleep for such a long time without having to be woken up by any member of the Palmer family or even his ex wife who always called him names such as lazy ass or good for nothing. “This feels so good!” H exclaimed with a bright smile on his face. The room was massive indeed, with an elegant chandelier hanging above him, the view which could be seen from the casement window was the sea flowing freely towards the ocean. Jason sighed as he got up from the cozy bed, then he stretched his entire body without letting go of his smile. Few moments later he heard a knock on his door.For a moment he wondered who must have been knocking at his door that early so he kept quiet and listened carefully to be sure that the knock really came from the door, but it was really the case as the knock came for the

The Man of the Moment
Jason watched the two sisters as they wrapped their arms around each other, glad to have reunited after such a long time. A bright smile appeared on his face, and he began to wish that he had a sibling. The other girls who were awake and close to Nadia’s bed continued watching with keen interest, and at that moment, they were more assured that they were in safe hands since Jason had brought Rose to see her sister, and the doubt they had about their safety began to vanish instantly. Rose whispered some words into her sister’s ear, and even without hearing a word of what she was telling her, Jason could tell that they were talking about him, and within a few seconds, Rose stood up and walked up to him. She refused to let go of her smile while she walked slowly until she stopped a few inches away from him. “Thank you so much! We are very grateful!” Rose didn’t give Jason the opportunity to respond, and she embraced him tightly, shutting her eyes while she wrapped her arms around hi

Unexpected Reunion
Rose walked out of the mansion a few minutes after she was called by one of the guards at Jason’s instruction. She had a curious expression on her face, and it became a little bit intense the moment she set her eyes on Jason who had a strange smile on his face. “Rose? How are you?” Jason’s face brightened up more the moment he set his eyes on Rose, but she was a little bit confused and ignored his question. “You sent for me.” She said calmly, stopping about three meters in front of Jason who nodded instantly without letting go of his smile. “Oh yes! I have a surprise for you. I am sure you are going to love it. Come on, let’s go!” Jason gestured to Rose to follow him, but she seemed a bit reluctant to even take a step. Jason was forced to turn to look at her when he realized that she hadn't made a move to follow him. “Come on, Rose. This is really important, I am sure you will love it. This is something you have always wanted.” Jason said convincingly, and taking in a deep b

Nadia
Jason received a call while he was driving on the highway. He had to slow the car down at once to be able to take the fall after seeing who the caller was on the screen of the phone. “Harry?” He said, and then he cleared his throat while listening attentively to hear what the Butler was going to say. “Young Master? We found something, I think you need to see this.” Harry said from the other end of the line, and Jason let go of the steering wheel at once while he held onto the phone with his other hand. “Where are you?”“At the location where the shipments were taken,” Harry responded at once, and Jason nodded slowly before grabbing the gear stick. “I will be right there!” He reversed the car at once and changed direction, heading to the location where Harry called from. The road was busy, causing Jason’s impatience to grow, but he remained calm while looking for the best way to maneuver through some of the cars in front of him. “Out of the way!” He barked at one of the st

Merciless
Looking at the people kneeling before him one after the other, Jason smirked, and almost immediately, he sniggered at them while he let them deal with the anxiety that cringed them. “You seek mercy?” He asked, and even though none of them could utter a word, the nod from Isabella and her Grandmother was enough to answer his question. The rest were too ashamed to react to his question. “I see…” He scoffed, and after looking around for a few seconds, he returned his gaze to them without letting go of the smirk on his face. “What you should seek is redemption, all of you. From where I am standing, you do not deserve mercy. Maybe when you have tasted the other side of life just like I have, then you will be able to receive redemption. We are done here, I only came to claim what rightfully belongs to me, your words have no effect on me.” Jason turned to look at Ramon who waited to hear what he was going to say, eager to carry out their instruction. “Ramon?”“Yes, Young Master!” Th

Kneel Shamelessly
The Palmers looked at each other the moment they heard the utterances from Jason, and when they returned their gazes to him, they could see that he wasn’t joking when he said those words, and even afterward. “You… You want us to kneel?”“Why not, Isabella? If you really want to show me how desperate you are to be shown mercy, then getting on your knees shouldn’t be a problem. The ball is in your court.” Jason maintained a smirk on his face, and then he went silent, waiting to see what their reaction was going to be. “You really want us to kneel?” Lady Alice asked with a weak tone, but Jason remained silent while he maintained his smirk. The old lady looked at her family members, and seeing that they were as helpless as she was, she swallowed hard saliva and sighed heavily. “I can't believe I am about to do this.” She grunted, and after giving Jason one long look, she slowly lifted her gown with both hands, and went on her knees, unable to lift her face from the ground. “Thi

Game Over
The news of the revelation of the identity of the richest and youngest billionaire in the entire country spread like wildfire, and people were cut between trying to know how a nobody suddenly became the heir to the biggest conglomerate in the country, and how he had managed to keep his secret hidden for so long while he carried out all his plans. Evidently, Jason had succeeded in carrying out his plans, or most of them, but there was still more, and there was no way he was going to leave any loose ends. The sun had taken over the moon, shining its rays on the surface of the earth while the cool morning breeze was blowing on the faces of everyone who was out that morning, including those who left their windows open. Standing firm with his evergreen smile intact, Jason kept his eyes on the Palmer mansion for a very long time while the memories of the past experiences he had in that building flashed through his mind. “Who would have thought that this day would come?” He thought t

Lock Away
While the Palmers were still arguing amongst themselves, Jason turned to look at Dalton and his cohorts who were seated at one of the round tables in the hall, staring at him with so many thoughts going through their minds. “To the man who killed my father. Of course, you are not going to be left out of the special packages going around. I have always been longing for this day when I can look you in the eyes, and watch you pay for what you did.” Jason grunted angrily, and then he took in a deep breath which he let out slowly before he continued. “I have your goods locked up somewhere safe, but the authorities have been informed of all your involvement. They should be here any moment from now.” Jason looked at the time on his wristwatch, and then at the entrance of the hall. “Aha! There they are!” He nodded in satisfaction as soon as he saw the ten policemen tripping into the hall with their guns in their hands. They marched straight to Dalton’s table and surrounded him and his c

The Big Reveal
The entire hall was thrown into a period of shock. First, it was a long silence, followed by whisperings, and then the recognition by some of those who knew Jason. “Is that?…” Lady Alice Palmer couldn’t finish her words. Seated at one of the long tables in the hall, she turned to look at her son Morgan who was seated beside her, but when he didn’t seem like he was ready to say anything, she turned to look at Isabella who she was certain was going to be able to recognize her ex-husband just in case her eyes were deceiving her. “That’s Jason!” Isabella confirmed before her Grandmother could open her mouth to ask her. “What the hell is he doing here? And why is Philip kneeling before him?” She added, standing up slowly from her seat to have a better look. “Maybe he is one of the guards who are here with Mr. Walker.” Jacob her cousin stated, and Andrew nodded to support him even though he had several doubts running through his mind, especially with the fact that Jason stood out fr

White Party
Finally, it was time for the shipments to arrive, and the anticipation in the air was higher than it had ever been both for the two parties. Jason was clad in one of his very expensive black suites, complimented with a classic Tom Ford brown shoe, and a Richer Miller wristwatch. His cologne went before him, and also remained a few minutes even after he was gone. “You look very beautiful in that dress, my baby.” He said with a pleasant smile, looking at Brenda who walked out of the room, dressed in a white gown that that had beautiful pebbles embroidered all around it. A nice diamond necklace was hanging around her neck, and her hills were impeccably dazzling. “Thanks, Jay! I never knew you had such an amazing taste for quality and beautiful things.” Brenda retorted at once, chuckling with a blush. “Ah! You have to get used to it, my darling! See, I know luxury more than you think, and for you, I will do anything in the world just to make sure that you are ever-glowing. You have
