The Rising Phoenix: Devisee’s escapade. No Calories
Harry walked into the room alongside the chef who was carrying a silver tray with dishes inside, a fork, a jug of water, and a glass. “Oh! The food is here!” Brenda said at once, snapping out of the mood the old man had put them in. She quickly grabbed her box from the chair in front of the old man and placed it carefully on the floor. “You can keep it here.” She said to the chef who nodded with a smile and kept the tray on top of the seat, following Brenda’s hand gesture. “You may leave. Thank you.” Harry said to the chef who bowed slightly to Lord Walker before she gently turned around and walked out of the room with everyone else looking at her until she was out of sight. “Alright, let’s see why we have here.” Brenda sighed after she had spoken, and then she grabbed the dish cover, and slowly opened it to reveal what the chef had prepared. “Okay…” She nodded in satisfaction when she saw the salad, the bread, the apples, and the grapes on the dish the chef brought to the
The Rising Phoenix: Devisee’s escapade. To the Kitchen
Meanwhile, as soon as Jason got out of his Grandfather’s room with Brenda right behind him, he shut the door while staring at him with a smile on his face, and then he sighed softly. “I am sorry he had to make you take me to the kitchen.” Brenda apologized at once, not sure of what to deduce from the neutral expression the young man had on his face. “Oh no, you don’t need to apologize. My Grandfather can be really insistent when he wants something and this is one of those instances. Having known him for a while, I have learned how not to give up when I want something.” “Really? How so?” Brenda her arms with a curious expression on her face, staring at Jason who chuckled softly before giving her a response. “Let’s just say that he never gave up on his search for me even when it seemed like it was taking forever, and there was literally no hope of finding me. Eventually, he did, and I have learned that with time, hard work pays off.” Brenda stared at Jason as soon as he was do
The Rising Phoenix: Devisee’s escapade. Different Tastes
As soon as the Chef was out of sight, Jason turned toward the cabinet and moved closer to it with a few steps, but Brenda was still staring at the door until Jason realized she was a bit absent-minded. “Are you okay?” He asked with a low tone, looking at Brenda who snapped out of her thoughts at once and turned to look at him. “Yeah, I am fine. Did you notice that?”“You mean the Chef?” Jason retorted at once, and Brenda nodded in response. “Yeah, she didn’t seem happy that you were trying to do her job…” “That was very obvious. But I will return her kitchen to her once I am done here.” Brenda said with a low tone, and then she sighed with a smile on her face. “Don’t worry, she will be fine. Just do what you are here for, I am sure that Grandpa will be done eating soon, and he will be waiting for you.” “Right. I will just get that…” Brenda moved closer to the cabinet, dropped the black coffee on top of it, and grabbed the kettle with both hands. “Let me help you with th
The Rising Phoenix: Devisee’s escapade. Not forced
Jason chuckled softly, and then he looked backward for a few seconds before he returned his gaze to Brenda who was still waiting to hear what he was going to say. “Today is the first day of the week.” “Okay? What about that?” “We agreed that we were going to go on a date this week, right?” “Oh, you remember?” Brenda had a neutral expression on her face while Jason gave her a curious stare. “What is it? You don’t seem excited about the date.” “What? That’s not true, I am excited about it.” “Then why does your face say a different thing?” Jason took one step upward, and then he waited for her to join him with his eyes staring inquisitively at her. Brenda climbed up the step and turned to look at Jason who was still waiting to hear what she was going to say. “I just don’t want to get my hopes high, Jay.” “Oh.” Jason was speechless as he wasn’t sure of what to say to Brenda who looked into the cup as though something had entered into it. “So are you saying that you a
The Rising Phoenix: Devisee’s escapade. Just three Months
Lord Walker took another sip from his cup of coffee, and afterward, he dropped it on the saucer and cleared his throat to draw the attention of Jason who was staring at the door with a smile on his face. “Whatever you are about to say, Grandpa, I don’t think I am interested…” “But you haven’t even allowed me to talk, Jack.”“That’s because I know what you are about to say.” Jason retorted with a tone laced with so much certainty while he looked at the old man with a smirk on his face. Lord Walker sighed heavily, and then he pointed to the chair in front of him with his index finger. “Take a seat, Jack.” “Grandpa, not this topic again.”“Just take a seat. I need you to listen to what I have to say. I am certain that it’s going to make sense to you. Just take a seat.” Lord Walker urged Jason with a bright smile on his face while his eyes showed signs of deep concern. Left with no choice, Jason took in a deep breath, and after he had exhaled sharply, he moved toward the sea
The Rising Phoenix: Devisee’s escapade. Panic Attack
Seeing the Butler in so much panic, Jason was forced to stand up immediately from his seat while he looked at him walking slowly into the room with the tension on his face still intact. “What is it, Harry? What’s the emergency?” Jason asked at once while Lord Walker waited anxiously to hear what the Butler was going to say. For a few seconds, Harry was busy with his attempts to catch his breath, but the other men in the room had become very impatient, and they couldn’t wait much longer to hear what he was going to say. “Speak, Harry! What is it?” “I am sorry, Lord Walker! But it’s Julian! He is out of Prison!” “What?” Lord Walker gasped in shock, and because he couldn’t handle the situation so well as a result of his body which was still recovering, he went into a panic attack. “Grandpa! Are you okay?” Jason quickly rushed to grab him before he could fall off his wheelchair. “Lord Walker? Lord Walker!” Harry hurried toward the old man at once, but Jason was already stand
The Rising Phoenix: Devisee’s escapade. First Word
For a few seconds, the Butler was silent while Jason kept his eyes on him, waiting to get a response to his question. Harry remained silent for a while, but Jason could tell from his countenance that it was really going to be difficult for him to give him a response, and even if he did, he wasn’t going to like the response. “Harry? Say something.” “I am truly sorry, Young Master. But I think it would be best you hear the response from your Grandfather. I hope you understand.” The Butler’s voice was very calm while he bowed halfway with his hands clasped in front of him. Jason stared at him for a few seconds, and then he let out a soft smile which was followed by a nod. “It’s fine, Harry. I totally understand.” “Thank you for your understanding, Young Master.” Harry bowed again while Jason turned his face away from him to look at Lord Walker who had already fallen asleep, and his breath returned to normal. “I think we should let him sleep now. Maybe we will come back at n
The Rising Phoenix: Devisee’s escapade. Unexpected caller
UNEXPECTED CALLER For a few seconds, Jason admired the beautiful outfit Rose had on. He looked at her with a smile while she had her eyes on the baby just like the chef who walked in a few seconds later. “You look lovely in that dress.” Jason complimented, smiling at Rose who looked at herself as though she didn’t know the color of the dress she was putting on. “Thanks.” She said with a whisper, and then she returned her gaze to the baby whose focus was still on the show he was watching. A few seconds later, Jason’s phone began to ring, and he looked at the screen to see who was calling while Henry whimpered because the call had obstructed what he was watching. “I am sorry, Henry. I have to take that call.” Jason slowly grabbed his phone from the table, and then he stood up from the seat while carrying the child on his right shoulder. “May I?” Rose offered to help with an exciting smile on her face while Jason stared at him for a few seconds before he nodded and handed her

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
