The Rising Phoenix: Devisee’s escapade. Trustworthy
“She never told us her name, we addressed her as the baroness, that was what the men she came with called her. The Baroness.” “The Baroness?” Jason said with a whisper, wondering who could have such a name. He thought about it for a while, and then he sighed and turned to look at Rose who was still in a sad mood. “Look, Rose. I know you have had a lot of bad experiences, but I am really not going to hurt you, I promise.” Jason continued to look at Rose who stared at him for a while, struggling to believe his words.“Then why did you buy me? You must have given them a huge amount right? That’s the only way they let you have me. The Baroness said we were only going to leave to our new owners if we were able to make her ten times the amount she spent on us. So, why did you buy me?” “I didn’t okay? I mean, I didn’t even know what was going on.” “Lies, the short man told me my new owner had paid for me, he said you paid a huge amount, and that I was free to go.” “Believe me, Ros

“We got a job in one of the factories in the town, where we helped to package the goods they made before shipping. The pay wasn’t enough, but we were okay with it, as long as it was able to feed us.” Rose paused for a few seconds, and then she cleared her throat twice, with her eyes seeming like they were about to let down more tears. She blinked severally in an attempt to stop the tears from flowing, and it worked for her. “Everything was going fine until the Baroness met us on our way home, and offered to help us. She promised to take us out of the streets and make sure our lives changed for the better. I had always wanted to become an artist, and I felt it was an opportunity for me to attend art school.” Rose had a smile on her face the moment she started to speak of her dream of going to art school. Jason could see that she really desired to fulfill her dreams, but her smile vanished abruptly a few seconds later, and she returned her sad face. “Nadia always wanted to be a

He stared at the screen for a few seconds and then moved by impulse, he slowly dragged the icon on the screen to the right and answered the call. He placed the phone on his left ear and remained silent. “Hello? Mr. Caruso. This is Doctor Melvin.” Said the familiar male voice from the other end of the line, causing Jason to readjust himself instantly.“Oh, Doctor. How are you?” “I am good, Sir. I have something to tell you.” “Oh. Just a moment. Hold on.” Jason looked at Rose, and then he got up from the seat and walked to a corner of the dining hall with her eyes trailing him until he got to a spot that was almost close to the door. Jason looked around to be sure that no one was around or coming, and then he sighed softly. “Go ahead, Doctor. I am listening.” “Yes. As suspected, Isabella called me to ask if I had thought about her request, and was ready to give her a response…” “Okay?” Jason said as soon as he noticed that the Doctor was silent, probably because he want
The Rising Phoenix: Devisee’s escapade. The Promise
Rose sighed heavily, but there was certainly no relief. She turned to look at Jason, and he could see that she was struggling not to let the tears gathered around her eyes drop. “Hey? Hey? It’s okay. You don’t have to cry. It’s going to be okay. I promise.” Jason said calmly, taking her right hand, but his words were not enough to stop her from shedding another round of tears. She sobbed bitterly, and even though she wiped the tears in her eyes with her left hand, more kept on flowing, and she kept on sniffling in an attempt to stop herself from crying. “I just want to see my sister. She’s all I’ve got, I want to see her. Nadia…” She said with a shaky voice, as she constantly sniffled to get a grip on herself. “I am sorry about your sister, Rose. But you need to know that everything is going to be alright.” “No, it’s not!” Rose abruptly dragged her hand away from Jason’s soft grip, and then she wiped the remaining tears off her face and sniffled. Jason sighed, and then he

“Oh, Hi. Doctor Brenda, you are here.” Jason responded almost immediately, but he couldn’t understand the reason behind the sudden tension in his body. He turned to look at Rose, and then he returned his gaze to Brenda who was standing in front of him at the otter end of the table. “I will be in my room,” Rose said suddenly, and then she stood up and walked away after she had exchanged glances with Brenda without saying another word. Jason watched as Rose walked away without saying a word. He kept on staring until she was out of sight, and then he turned to look at Brenda who had a strange smile on her face. “I am sorry, I didn’t realize that you had someone here with you. Mr. Harrison told me that you were here when I asked of you.” “It’s fine. I was just having a conversation with her. Hope there is no problem.”“Oh no, not at all. I just came to do the regular checks on your Grandfather.” Brenda said, and then she walked up to the same chair Rose sat at the table, and sh

“That will be nice.” Brenda chuckled, and then she cleared her throat twice, while Jason waited to hear if she was going to say something. For a few seconds, she was silent, and then he realized that she was probably waiting for him to speak. “So, about the…” “Will I be…” The two of them spoke at the same time, with Jason’s tone being louder than hers. The moment they realized what happened, they kept quiet and laughed softly. “You go first, ladies first,” Jason said with a smile on his face, but Brenda disagreed with a shake of her head. “No, I think you should go first. I was actually waiting to hear you speak.” Brenda said with a voice laced with so much insistence. Jason looked at her for a few seconds, and it didn’t look like she was going to say a word if he didn't speak first. “Very well then, I will do as you have requested, my lady.” Jason bowed at her slightly, causing her to chuckle. “Alright, I am waiting,” Brenda said with a smile on her face. Jason to

“What is it?” Jason asked at once, and then he began to walk toward Harry with so much eagerness to hear what he had to say, seeing the smile on his face. “They found it,” Harry said excitedly, causing Jason to gasp. “The antidote?” “Yes, Young Master. They found it.” Harry nodded with his smile intact.“Lovely! This is the best news I have had in a long time!” “Yes, Young Master. They should be on their way home soon.” “Good! This is great news! Thank you so much, Harry. I have you to thank for this.” “No, Young Master. It was all you, you did everything.” “But you assisted me. That was something too.” Harry nodded with his smile intact. “Come on, Harry! I have to break the news to the old man. I know he may not be able to hear me, but I still have to tell him.” Jason went into the building at once, and Harry followed immediately. They went into the elevator which took them to the first floor, and as soon as the doors opened, Jason walled out hurriedly and walked

Jason continued sleeping until about two hours later when he suddenly opened his eyes and lifted his head from the pillow. Slowly, he pushed himself off the bed, and placed his two legs on the ground, blinking severally to get rid of the blur in his vision. He rubbed his eyes with both hands to help out, and when he was certain that he had gotten a grip on himself, he stood up from the bed, and walked into the bathroom, yawning just before he went in. He took a leak and walked out of the bathroom after he had washed his face, and wiped it with a neat towel. He went back to the bed and sat down slowly, and then he pulled out his phone from his pocket and dialed a number before he placed the phone on his right ear. “Yes, Hello. Kelvin. How are you?” He said as soon as he heard the male voice from the other end of the line. “Good. I hope this is a good time to call. I know you might be busy with your family.” Jason said a few seconds later, and then he listened to what he was g
