The Rising Phoenix: Devisee’s escapade. The Bidding
Jason smiled at Elliot after he had said those words, and then he bent his face to the ground, unable to keep up with the eyes that were staring at him with so many feelings inside them. The ladies who were seated with Jason continued to caress his body, chuckling with so much excitement, it was evident that they were intrigued by the announcement Elliot made. “Mind if I join you?” Came the sweet female voice from a corner, causing Jason to lift his head to see who had spoken. It was the lady who was seated in front of Jason, and without waiting to get approval from him, she stood up from her seat, and walked up to his table, pulling out the only seat left at his table. Her bodyguard grabbed her blue purse and the bud paddle on her table and placed them on Jason’s table. The ladies who were seated close to Jason didn’t seem happy about her arrival, but there was absolutely nothing else they could do apart from giving her looks of disgruntle, even though they did it secretly.
The Rising Phoenix: Devisee’s escapade. Counterbid
“Yes! Lady B is going for two hundred and ten thousand dollars!” Elliot announced excitedly, and Bianca smiled in excitement and turned to look at Luna. “Now beat that!” She said, not minding if she was able to hear her or not. “Anyone to oppose her? Anyone?” Elliot said loudly and searched with his eyes scouring the entire hall, but no one seemed to be interested in bidding for the car. He looked at Luna, but she bent her face to the ground and growled angrily. “Cancel the bid already! The car is mine!” Bianca said with a frown on her face, while Jason looked at her with so much astonishment. “She really does have a lot of money!” He said to himself, while Bianca waited impatiently for Elliot to make the pronouncement and announce her as the winner. “It seems no one is willing to battle with her. Going for two hundred and ten thousand dollars! We have our winner here! Lady B!!!!”“Right! Beat that!” Bianca said excitedly and looked at Luna who rolled her eyes at her and hi

“Anyone for Five hundred thousand dollars? Anyone?” Eliot said loudly, placing himself in a bent posture, and scouring through the hall with his eyelids flickering, and his eyes widened. Jason couldn’t take his eyes off the man, and when he did, it didn’t take long for him to return them to looking at him. “That’'s Larry Bardolf, you should know him,” Bianca said to Jason, realizing that he had been staring at Larry for a while. “Yeah, who doesn't know him? I haven't really spoken to him before, and I would really love to. I want to discuss a business idea with him.” Jason responded, and then he turned to look at Bianca who had spent the past few seconds admiring him. “I see,” Bianca said calmly, and then she grabbed her glass of champagne and sipped a bit from it, while Jason continued to look at her, suspecting that she had some other thing to say because of the smile she had on her face. Bianca placed the glass on the table, and then she leaned forward to Jason and sighed

At that moment, everywhere in the hall was engulfed with a sudden silence as everyone sat back to watch the two men bid for who was going to go home with the car. “Does any other person want to join the bidding? Who is up for some challenge? Anyone?” Elliot asked with his loud tone, scouring all over the place, but he was only disappointed as there was no one willing to join the challenge, as their only plan was to relax and watch as the drama before them unfolded. “It seems we are only up for the two men here! Alright! Alright! Who goes home with this beauty? Anyone for Eight hundred thousand…Oh, I see that Mr. Bardolf has his paddle up!” Larry turned to look at Jason who smiled at him, but he refused to reciprocate the smile, turning again to face the stage. “Mr. Bardolf is up for Eight hundred thousand dollars! That’s some money there! That’s some dollars right there!”Eliot was more excited than he had ever been ever since the event started. He jumped up and down and danc
The Rising Phoenix: Devisee’s escapade. Highest Bidder
Without wasting any time, Jason lifted his bid paddle and held onto it firmly with his right hand, while his smile remained intact. “Mr. Jones is up for one point one million dollars! That’s right! I love this! Today is the best day of my life! Yeah!” For some reason, Elliot seemed very excited, as he continued to Jump up and down the stage, clapping and screaming at t the top of his voice. But it appeared that his audience was enjoying watching him display such vibrance, as they continued to smile without saying a word. “You really are up for this, you don’t seem like you are giving up anytime soon,” Bianca said to Jason with her glass of champagne close to her lips, causing Jason to look at her for a few seconds. “Never, I am not going to stop,” Jason said softly without letting go of his smile.While Elliot continued to scream and Jump all over the stage, Larry turned toward Jason’s direction, and their eyes met instantly, but it appeared that he had a smirk on his face wh

The next hour was followed by bidding for the rest of the remaining cars which were up front grabs. But it seemed like Larry wasn’t interested in any of them just like Jason who sat back and enjoyed the show, watching as some others had their way making purchases according to their desires. “Don’t you like that car over there? It looks very fanciful.” Bianca said to Jason, pointing to the red flashy Jaguar D-type, but when Jason took a look at it, he didn’t seem really interested, and even the look on his face could tell. “Nah, I don’t like the shape of its body. It looks like a little boat with four tires.” Jason said softly, shaking his head. Bianca found his words so funny, and she laughed out loudly, holding her chest with her left hand, coughing severally. “Are you okay?” Jason asked, seeing that her cough was becoming more intense. “I am…I am okay. I am totally fine.” She said it to him, giggling as she lifted her body, and stared at him with so much admiration, while
The Rising Phoenix: Devisee’s escapade. The Merchandise
“Now for the final purchase! I assure you this is going to blow your mind away! Prepare for it!” Elliot screamed, drawing the attention of everyone in the hall, including Jason who kept watching with Bianca, waiting to see what he had to show them. “Behold! The beautiful, and well-crafted beauty I have for you guys is one that has never been seen before. And I assure you! I assure you that you are going to love it! Get ready!” Elliot turned to look at the guards behind him, and after he had given them a sign with a nod, they left at once, and he returned his gaze to his audience to keep them busy with his enticing words. “Just hold on a bit! You all know that this is the main event. Oh yes, I can see your faces brightening up already. You will love this, I promise you!” Just like Elliot said, the faces of almost everyone in the room were brighter except for Jason’s whose countenance was just curious and confused.“I thought we were already done.” He thought to himself, but it
The Rising Phoenix: Devisee’s escapade. Heart-Wrenching
Jason looked at Bianca after she said those words, and he couldn’t believe his eyes and the words he heard from her mouth. “How can she look so excited about all of this? These are her fellow women!” Jason thought to himself, but it appeared that she wasn’t in his head, and couldn’t hear his thoughts. Realizing that the car auction was a decoy and that the main purpose of the event was to sell girls to the highest bidder, Jason felt so pained and a little bit worried that he could be in some kind of trouble if he was seen in that kind of place. “Harry warned me!” He thought to himself, struggling to maintain a bright face, but that took entirely everything in him. He looked around again and realized that the ladies seemed more excited than most of the men, as they cheered up the girls in chains who bent their faces in fright and shame. Some of their clothes were ripped apart, and it was obvious that they were shaking. “I can see that you all are excited! I told you! I told y

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
