The Rising Phoenix: Devisee’s escapade. Desperate Measures
Jason headed straight to his son’s room the moment he walked out of his room, and when he opened the door, he heard the sound of his cry which made him run into the room instantly. He grabbed the baby from the cradle and carried him up gently with a smile on his face. “Good morning, Henry! Don’t cry, I am here now.” He wrapped his arms around the baby and dandled him slowly. “Are you hungry? Do you want some milk? What do you want to eat? Tell me…” He continued pacifying the toddler until he was able to get her to stop crying. “That’s it, be calm,” Jason said with a whisper, smiling at his son while he continued to dandle her. Henry cooed almost immediately and lifted both hands to grab his father’s beard. “You like it? Don’t worry, when you become a man you will choose if you are to keep yours or not.” Jason chuckled softly, and then he moved toward the couch in the room to sit down, but he heard the sound of the door opening which made him look at once to see Cara walking
The Rising Phoenix: Devisee’s escapade. Guilt Maybe
Making a decision seemed quite difficult for Harry, but standing right there and looking at Jason who seemed very desperate, he was forced to think deeper, looking for a suitable response to give to him. “Say something, Harry. This is really serious, I don’t trust that guy.” Jason said after a few seconds of silence, looking at Harry who sighed heavily before nodding in response. “This is really going to be difficult, Young Master.” “Difficult but not impossible, Harry.” “I don’t know what Lord Walker is going to think about this.” “Trust me, Harry. What my Grandfather is going to think about this is irrelevant at this moment. This is for the sake of his life, and even though I am aware of how difficult this is, I also know that I cannot afford to lose my Grandpa.” “But he is his father, I don’t think that Julian would be capable of hurting Lord Walker.”“You don’t know that, Harry. I am left with the choice of choosing between him and my Grandfather, and I am definitely
The Rising Phoenix: Devisee’s escapade. Not on Time
Over an hour before the time for the meeting with Julian, Lord Walker was taken into one of the bulletproof vans parked in front of the house with Bruce and Ramon seated by his two sides, and two guards in front, one to handle the steering wheel, and the other seated beside him. “You are certain that that is a bullet-proof van?” Jason turned to look at Harry who was standing in front of the van after taking his eyes away from it. He was struggling with the feeling of uncertainty that roamed inside him, and he didn’t want anything to go wrong. “The three vans parked over there are bulletproof cars, Young Master. Maybe you can see for yourself.” Harry said firmly, and then he gestured to one of the guards who was standing by the corner. He waited for the guard to come to him, and then he stole a glance at Jason to be sure he was watching. “Let me have that,” Harry said to the guard who slowly pulled out his gun from his pants and handed it over to him with both hands. “Step asid
The Rising Phoenix: Devisee’s escapade. Uncanny Reunion
While the suspenseful silence in the room was still lingering, the doors at the entrance of the building opened slowly, and Bruce walked into the building with a man who lifted both hands in full surrender. From all indications, he was the one they had been waiting for, and from the moment they set their eyes on him, they began to observe him closely. He was probably in his early forties, and the fact that he was Lord Walker’s son wasn’t farfetched as the resemblance between them was really striking. Contrary to what everyone was thinking about someone who had been in prison for so many years before he managed to escape, Julian was looking very neat and handsome, clad in a grey suit with a lovely shoe fitted on his legs. He grabbed the brown cigar in his mouth with his lips and refused to let go of the grin that appeared on his face while he sauntered toward the living room, puffing out smoke slowly. “Julian.” Lord Walker gasped as soon as he saw his son, and it took almost
The Rising Phoenix: Devisee’s escapade. The Fugitive
Julian remained dumbfounded for a few seconds, and when he saw that Lord Walker didn’t have anything to say about the situation, he wondered who Jason was. He dropped the glass of whiskey he was holding on the table, and then he adjusted his Jacket before he cleared his throat twice. “Pops? Are you going to stand here and watch this kid insult me? Your son? Who the hell is he?”“That’s not relevant, Julian. This meeting was scheduled to begin at noon, but you were an hour late! The least you can do is apologize and show some decency, but you decide to tell us that you love to disrespect everyone, including your own father!” Jason said angrily, and when he saw that his Grandfather was about to say something, he gestured to him as a reminder of what they discussed earlier. Lord Walker was forced to remain silent while he struggled with the conflicted thoughts that ran through his mind. He wasn’t sure if he was supposed to think of any of the ideas that went through his mind or ju
The Rising Phoenix: Devisee’s escapade. Only Heir
Even though Julian knew that his demand was outrageous, he still stood on his firm resolve to get what he wanted. He adjusted his jacket while he maintained a confident smile on his face, waiting to get a response from Lord Walker who turned to look at Jason, hoping he was going to have the right words to say in response to his demand. “You want everything?” Jason said with a voice that almost sounded like a whisper, looking at Julian who returned his gaze to him at once without saying a word. “You want everything?” Jason asked again while Julian nodded in response. “I believe that I didn’t stutter even though I am still wondering why I have to speak to you instead of my father. Who are you? His mouthpiece?”“That’s irrelevant, Julian. Do you realize that your demand is outrageous?”“Why? Because I asked for something that rightfully belongs to me? I am the only one he’s got! His son is dead, and he will soon be gone too. Who is he going to leave all of that wealth for? Me of
The Rising Phoenix: Devisee’s escapade. Gripped
All of a sudden, there was silence in the room, but it seemed like it was only Julian who felt a cringe inside him. He adjusted himself severally to feel comfort, but it seemed like the problem was not from the outside, but from the feelings that he was getting inside.His plans didn’t look like they were going to work all thanks to Jason, and he thought of the best way to act at that moment. “Are you taking the money or not?” Jason asked with a tone that almost sounded like a whisper, but Julian was more interested in something else, some other thing he heard from Lord Walker the last time he spoke, and that gave him a major concern. “You have another son? You have another heir?” He asked, looking at Lord Walker who chuckled softly before nodding in response. “Yes, Julian. I have an heir, someone who has already taken charge of everything I have, someone who has already proven to be more worthy than you are ever going to be.” Lord Walker nodded in satisfaction while Julian gas
The Rising Phoenix: Devisee’s escapade. Hostage
Jason wanted to make a move to free himself from the grip of the man behind him, but the sight of the dagger pressed against his neck made him not to. “Don’t try to play hero, boy! This will only end badly for you!” Julian warned Bruce who had already pointed his gun at him, ready to shoot, but Julian was clever enough to hide every part of his body behind Jason, making it very difficult for him to aim. “You are making a very terrible mistake, Julian! We can settle this amicably, not this way!” Lord Walker said with a voice laced with a little distress. At that moment, the fear of losing Jason gripped him completely, and he took interval glances at him, feeling terrible for putting him in harm’s way. “Julian? Let my Grandson go! Let him go!”“Never, Pops! I am not going to do that! I am going to kill him, and he will die just like his stupid father! Everything will be mine! The houses! The cars! All the money! All of it!” Julian dragged Jason backward, while he continued holdin

I Know!
The rays from the sunlight were shining brightly through the casement windows inside the bedroom. The curtains were half closed, giving way to the rays that hit Brenda’s eyes while she groaned in her sleep. As though there was a force, she opened her eyes instantly, only to behold the sight of shirtless Jason sitting close to her with a tray in both hands. “Wakie wakie! I was worried that too were not going to wake up on time to see this.” Jason had a beautiful smile on his face while he looked at Brenda who adjusted herself slowly, sitting up while she looked at the tray he was carrying. “What’s that?” “Oh! This? I made you breakfast! I had to wake up early just to make sure that everything worked as I planned. Here…” Jason opened the dish cover to reveal the egg and sausages on the plate next to a cup of black coffee. “I tried making the coffee just like you do. I hope I tried.” Jason handed the cup of coffee to Brenda who blew on the coffee before taking a sip. “Easy! I

Special Announcement
While everyone sat comfortably, eating and drinking everything that had been set on the table, Jason picked up the glass of wine in front of him, and after looking at his Grandfather and getting the signal from him, he nodded before lifting the glass. “I have a special announcement!” He hit his fork on the brim of the glass, drawing the attention of everyone seated at the table who instantly put a hold t what they were doing, and paid keen attention to him. Everyone seemed curious to know what he was about to say except the old man who was already done eating his veggies and wiped his lips with a napkin while he maintaining a grin on his face. “First of all, I want to thank Harry for bringing his lovely family to dinner. It’s such a pleasure to have you all here. Family is everything, family is life, and I am happy that he has such a beautiful family.” Jason lifted the glass toward Harry who bowed gently, still wondering what he was up to. “Harry here has been working with thi

Butler’s Family
Jason was the first to step out of the hot tub before Brenda joined him. Handing over one of the two towels he grabbed to her, he gave her a lovely smile which made her blush while she grabbed the towel, and wrapped her body with it. “You are still staring.” Brenda said with her smile intact, but Jason couldn’t take his eyes away from her, not even for a second. “What am I going to ever do without you? You have brought me so much joy, Brenda.” “Nothing, Jay. You are going to do nothing.” Brenda chuckled while Jason nodded without getting rid of his smile. “You are right. Absolutely nothing, that’s what I am going to do if I ever lose you.” “Well, I am not leaving anytime soon. I am here with you, my love.” Brenda patted Jason on both cheeks before she turned and walked toward the bedroom, holding onto her towel with both hands. “We must hurry, Jay! We are having guests, remember?”“Oh, right! I almost forgot about that!” Jason rushed into the room, and got dressed alongsi

Price to Pay
For a few seconds Jason was silent while he exchanged glances with the couple, not sure of who he was to face. It was obvious that they were expecting to hear him speak, but the silence in the room was killing them, having more effect on Lucas who couldn’t forget the words he said to him. He was afraid that the day of reckoning had come, and it was time to pay for all his crimes. Still unable to stop himself from finger mg, especially at the sight of Ramon who gave him threatening looks, Lucas decided to grab his bottle, hoping to get back some of his composure from a gulp. “What’s that?” Jason’s calm words stopped Lucas from grabbing the bottle from the ground, causing him to remain still while he lifted his face slowly to look at him, patches of guilt all over his face. “I can’t believe this.” Jason scoffs. “You really want to drink right now. You have really drowned yourself in so much alcohol. I bet you dream of drinking while you sleep.” Jason sighed softly, and remain

No Choice
Everyone remained silent amidst the tension that surrounded the air. While Lucas kept his eyes on Jason who remained still with a smirk on his face, he struggled with the contemplation of either remaining where he was standing, or moving backward. For a second, he took two steps backward, but because it felt as though his body no longer belonged to him, he couldn’t move afterward. “Hello… Dad. I see you haven’t left your old habits.” Jason pointed at the bottle of whiskey which Lucas tightly held onto even in the midst of the cringe that engulfed him. “It’s you.” Lucas’ voice was shaky. And while he held onto the half-empty bottle, he gently lifted it up to look at it, filled with thoughts of his numerous drinking adventures. It was true that he was intoxicated at that moment, but the sight of Jason and his companions made the effects of the whiskey wear off at once, leaving him to struggle with the situation. “I am just going to let myself in. Excuse me…” Jason gestured to

Hello, Mother
“You know you don’t have to come with me, right? It’s not like he is going to beat me just like he did several years ago.” Jason said to Brenda who was helping him out with his jacket. The news on the internet was getting a lot of attention from even different countries, and knowing that it wasn’t going to die down if he didn’t do anything about it, Jason decided to pay his foster parents a visit that night, discarding his initial plans to go see them the next day. “You are not going to be able to talk me out of this, Jay. I suggest you quit your attempts and allow me to come with you. Trust me, you are going to need me to support you, and I will always be by your side, Jay. No matter what.” Brenda’s words were helpful at that moment, and a bright smile appeared on Jason’s face, taking over his worried expression. “Thank you. I am glad you are coming with me, Brenda.” “Good. That’s all I needed you to say.” “But you have to go to work tomorrow, and I know how much you love

Foster Ordeal
As soon as he got the call from Brenda, Jason stepped out of the mansion and moved into the car. He drove to the hospital at once, and a few minutes after he parked the car, Brenda walked out of the building with her handbag carefully held with both hands. “Are you okay?” Jason asked, still staring at her even when she got into the car and slammed the door. “Yeah. Why?”“Nothing, love. I just wasn’t expecting that you would call me to come pick you up this early. It’s only been a few hours.” Jason looked at his Hublot wristwatch to ascertain that it wasn’t close to closing time yet. “Yeah…” Brenda grunted slowly, and after letting out the air she inhaled, she continued with a low tone. “I have just been feeling very tired lately, Jay. Even the patients I attended to noticed the difference. I think I will just rest today, probably by tomorrow I should be fine.” “Are you sure? Maybe we should go on a vacation or something. We should go…” Jason suggested, but Brenda shook her

The Viral News
The Butler remained silent for over ten seconds, but the stillness made Jason’s anxiety linger while he approached him with a curious expression on his face. “Harry? Is my Grandfather okay? Where is Henry?”“Lord Walker is fine. Nothing has happened to Ed to your son.” “Okay? So why the long face? What’s going on?” Jason was relieved that his greatest fear was not the reason for the Butler’s worrisome look, but he still needed to know what was happening. “We might have a little problem, Young Master.” “Problem? Talk to me, Harry! You are not saying anything!” Jason became a little bit impatient, and while he waited for a response, he went through his mind at once, thinking if anything that may have been the reason for yeh words from the middle-aged man. “Your parents, Young Master. They are on the news.” Harry said calmly, but his words made Jason confused while he looked at him with a bemused expression. “What the hell are you talking about, Harry? My parents are dead, y

Desperate Plea
The words from Jason hit Julius like a thunderbolt, and he was forced to keep quiet even though he never intended to. For a few seconds the middle-aged man remained calm, eyes on Jason who was waiting to be certain that he wasn’t going to say any other thing. “Good…” Jason sighed softly, and then he cleared his throat before he continued with a smirk on his face. “Now that I have your attention, I think it would be nice for us to get straight to the reason why I am here.” He paused for a few seconds just to be sure that Julius was paying attention, and continued when he was satisfied with the look on his face. “It’s very obvious that you deserve to be locked up forever, and the key thrown into the ocean, but unfortunately, you are still family. Now, I wonder what I am going to do with you, Julius. Trust me, I want to grab your neck with both hands and strangle you, but Grandpa…” Jason paused suddenly, and a heavy sigh left him. “Did the old man send you? Is he unable to hand
