The Rising Phoenix: Devisee’s escapade. Black Coffee
On his way out of the hospital, Jason saw two old ladies seated at the reception and looking at the screen of their phones with scowling on their faces. “I do much detest men who think they can treat ladies the way they like because they have so much money to throw around. This man is a monster!” The last seated by the right said to her friend who shared almost the same countenance as her while she lifted her face from her own phone to look at her. “I can imagine what all those girls must have gone through in the hands of that moron, he should be locked up, and the keys thrown into the abyss!” “You are right, Monica. People like this are not supposed to be left to be walking around. He would only be given the chance to do this to some other ladies.” “I am happy that someone was courageous enough to get him to confess all his crimes, whoever did this deserves an award,” Monica said with a smile on her face while her friend nodded in agreement. Jason instantly knew that the la
The Rising Phoenix: Devisee’s escapade. Not killed
For a few seconds, Brenda waited to get a response from Jason, but he remained silent, and instead of giving her a response, he slowly returned to his previous position, and sat down on the bed. “You still haven’t answered my question.” “What did you ask?” Jason inquired calmly, pretending not to know what she was talking about. “I asked what you did to Marcelo. Where is he? What did you do to him?” “Oh! That pervert?” Jason said with a smirk on his face, and Brenda nodded in response without looking away from Jason after she had paid all her attention to him. “Well, I made sure he would never treat any woman like his property ever again. I made sure that he would never touch any women, not in this lifetime especially.” Jason said with a nod, and Brenda suddenly became nervous after giving a wrong interpretation to the words she heard from him. “Did you kill him?” Brenda asked with a shaky voice, not ready to hear the response to the question just in case it was going to b
The Rising Phoenix: Devisee’s escapade. Distracted
Brenda looked at Jason for a few seconds, and when she couldn’t resist the urge to fall for his smile, she grabbed his hand slowly, and he pulled her upward before holding her on the waist. Their eyes met with each other, and Brenda couldn’t keep her eyes away from his after realizing how fascinating his blue orbs were. “I am really sorry that you had to pass through all of that in the hands of that monster. You deserve better.” Jason said with a smile, breaking the silence that had existed between them while Brenda looked away from his compelling eyes. “Thank you.” She said with a low tone, while she wrapped her arms around his neck, engulfed by the euphoria of the chemistry that existed between them. “For what?” Jason asked after waiting for her to speak again but only received a few seconds of silence. “For standing up for me at the restaurant, and for doing whatever you did to stop him from ever laying his hand on any woman.” “It’s fine, Brenda. You don’t have to worry
The Rising Phoenix: Devisee’s escapade. Unperturbed
Jason shut the door behind him the moment he left the room, and then he looked around the hallway to see if anyone was around, but it was empty. “Hello?” He said to the person at the other end of the line, his voice was anticipatory. “Hello, Young Master. How are you doing?” “I am fine, Kelvin. Do you have anything for me?” “Yes, Young Master. I think we should meet, I don’t know if you are free at the moment.” Jason groaned almost immediately, thinking of the best thing to do. There were a lot of things he wanted to do, and he didn’t know how he was going to be able to meet up with all of them. He took in a deep breath, and then he exhaled slowly before he responded to Kelvin who was very patient to hear what he was going to say. “I am not so free now, Kelvin. I don’t know…” “This is very important, Young Master. I really think you should see this. It’s about the identity of the man you asked me to find. I think I have something.” “Really?” “Yes, Young Master. You
The Rising Phoenix: Devisee’s escapade. The Lucky Man
When he was sure that he had Brenda’s attention, Jason sighed softly before he continued while the Doctor paid keen attention, hoping that whatever he was going to say to her was going to be relieving. “I know that you are worried about all the things you mentioned, but you seem to be forgetting something…” “What is that?” Brenda asked almost immediately when she saw that Jason had paused for a while. “You have forgotten that you are dealing with the Walkers, Brenda. Do you think anyone would be able to go against us in this country not to talk of the entire city? We are the most powerful people, and Silas Brooks is under our leadership. Without my family’s support, his business will crumble. He is nothing without us.” “Really?” “Yes, Brenda. You see, we are major shareholders in his business, he owes us. I am just sorry that we gave him and his son the opportunity to do that to you and get away with it. I am sure he wouldn’t have dared it, or probably gotten away with it if
The Rising Phoenix: Devisee’s escapade. Did you ever love her?
Brenda adjusted herself almost immediately, and when she was certain that she was comfortable on the couch, she cleared her throat before she spoke with a whisper. “You do?” She asked, and Jason nodded with a smile on his face.“Yes, Brenda.” Jason resounded after a few seconds, discarding the silence that was accompanied by a deep stare from Brenda who chuckled afterward. “That’s nice, that’s really good to hear.” She said with a whisper, and then she bent her face to the ground, avoiding the eyes of Jason who looked at her with excitement. “Brenda?” Jason lifted her face gently and looked her in the eyes while she blinked with her mouth agape without even realizing it. “I know that this might be leading to something really beautiful, but I want us to take it one step at a time. You know that I just got out of a rough marriage with my ex-wife, and I also have a son whom I wouldn't want to impose on you. Being a mother can be really tough…” “I know, I understand,” Brenda sa
The Rising Phoenix: Devisee’s escapade. Springfield Avenue
Brenda returned a few seconds later with her shoes and purse in her hands while Jason leaned forward from the chair, and looked at her. “Are you set?” He asked, looking at her clothes that looked a bit shabby with her top stained with a few drops of wine. Seeing that Jason was staring at her outfit, Brenda looked at herself, and that was when she realized that she was not looking entirely presentable at that moment. “I think I need a change of clothes.” She grunted in annoyance, and then she went through the ideas that came to her but none of them looked viable except the one she was trying to avoid. She looked at Jason with a very pitiable countenance and demanded politely, hoping that she was going to get a positive response from him. “Could you please take me home? I really need to change this outfit, and I don’t wanna be late for my appointment. My Patient is a lady who is desperate to have a child, and I don’t want to make her feel bad by not showing up at the hospital
The Rising Phoenix: Devisee’s escapade. Humble Abode
Jason nodded in response, and then he drove through the driveway that led to the house before he parked in front of it, and turned off the engine. “We are here.” He turned to look at Brenda who nodded almost immediately. “Yes, thank you. I will just hurry inside and change. I hope you don’t mind waiting for me.” “That’s okay.” Jason nodded with a smile and Brenda opened the door before she alighted from the car. “On a second thought…” She stopped herself from shutting the door almost immediately, turning to look at Jason who was still staring at her. “Why don’t you come inside and I can make you a cup of coffee? You are already here, you might as well come in.” “Are you sure? I wouldn’t want you to be late for your appointment.” Jason said calmly even though he liked the idea of going into her house. “It's fine, I am sure that I can spare a few minutes. Come on, I insist…” Brenda gestured to him with an anticipatory smile on her face, and then she waited patiently for hi
