The Rising Phoenix: Devisee’s escapade. Bombshell
While Jason drove back to the Villa, Rose was unable to take her eyes away from him while she maintained the evergreen smile on her face. Jason didn’t realize that she had been staring at him until he decided to check if she was alright after realizing that she had been quiet ever since they went into the car. “Are you okay, Rose?” He asked calmly before returning his eyes to the road, but after waiting for a few seconds without getting a response from her, he returned his gaze to her with an inquisitive look on his face. “Rose! Are you here with me?” “Mmh? What?” Rose quickly snapped out of her drift and cleared her throat before speaking with a tone laced with a little confusion. “Sorry, what did you say?” “You were gone for a while, awkwardly quiet since we got into the car. I was asking if you were okay.” “Yeah, sure. I am perfectly fine.” Rose nodded to affirm her words even though she didn’t sound convincing enough. “Are you sure? You seem to have a lot of things

Jason was certain that he had heard a lot of things that left him dumbfounded and very shocked, but nothing seemed to carry more weight than what he heard from his Grandfather who decided to give him enough time to process what he said to him. “Your son?” Jason asked with a whisper, hoping that his Grandfather was going to shake his head to indicate that he was joking or probably meant to say something else. The old man maintained a look of seriousness on his face alongside the Butler who bent his face as soon as Jason turned to look at him. “Grandpa? Tell me you are joking. This is a joke, right? This has to be a joke. Tell me it’s a joke.” “Unfortunately, Jack, this is not a joke. I wish I was joking, but this is not a joke.” Lord Walker affirmed his words after a few seconds, causing Jason to huff out some air while his mouth was left agape and his eyes widened. Suddenly, his body seemed to be in conflict with the condition of the room as perspiration began to pour from s

Jason remained silent, looking at his Grandfather who refused to say any other word as he struggled to get a grip on himself. The ambiance of the room was entirely engulfed by a sudden tension that refused to leave, causing everyone to feel this awkwardness creeping into their bodies while they barely even looked at each other. “What happened afterward, Grandpa?” Jason became impatient waiting to hear the rest of the story while his Grandfather sighed softly before he continued. “Everything went back to normal, and I thought I was not going to see her or the boy again until after five years when someone started to show up here, and even seemed to be following David around. At first, we felt that the strange occurrences were just mere coincidences until David started to receive threat notes slipped inside his car and sent to him as parcels. The sender threatened to kill him for taking what was his.” “David told me about the threat messages he was receiving, and we decided that

There were a few seconds of silence in the room while Lord Walker continued to look at his Grandson whose reaction was impossible to read. Almost immediately, Lord Walker’s phone began to ring, causing everyone to turn to look at Harry who was holding the phone inside his jacket. Harry also looked at the phone which had not been ringing for a while, especially ever since Jason was found. “Who could that be?” Lord Walker asked the Butler who slowly dipped his hand into his jacket and brought the phone which was still ringing and vibrating at the same time. “It’s an unknown caller,” Harry announced while looking at Lord Walker who couldn’t stop himself from being more curious to know who the caller was. “Find out who it is.” Lord Walker instructed while Jason adjusted himself, turning to face Harry who answered the call and placed the phone on his right ear, listening to hear what the caller was going to say from the other end of the line. “Who is it?” Jason asked with a low t
The Rising Phoenix: Devisee’s escapade. The Palmers
The voices of family members, friends and well wishers who had come to pay their condolence to the Palmers could be heard echoing from the main hall of the massive Palmer mansion; exquisite chandeliers hung from several angles of the roof shining brightly, reflecting sparkling glitters on the wine glasses that most of the elite guests in the hall had in their hands. All in the hall were on black outfits.Lord Richard Palmer one of the wealthiest men in Granada Hills and the founder of Palmer Pharmaceuticals had just been buried. He died after a brief illness at 85.“So sorry for your loss Lady Palmer.”“Oh thank you so much.” Mrs. Alice Palmer responded to the man in stylish black suit and a black moccasin shoe to match.“Accept my deepest condolences Lady Palmer.” Said a lady putting on a black felt hat. She handed her a bouquet of roses, Mrs. Palmer took the roses with a smile.“Where the hell is that leech of a son-in-law?” Scouring through the hall, her eyes glaring with high c
The Rising Phoenix: Devisee’s escapade. The Will
The entire members of the Palmer family were seated at the conference table that evening; Lady Alice was at one end of the long table while the Attorney was at the other end. He had a large file in his hands and a sealed envelope carefully placed on the table.“What’s he doing here? He shouldn’t be here!”Andrew the eldest Grandson called the attention of of everyone in the room who tilted their heads to see Jason approaching.“Well, my client demanded that every one living in the family mansion and belonging to this family must be present before his will be read.” Jason quietly walked to the position his wife was seated and dragged out the chair next to her to sit. He avoided the angry looks in the room.“What the hell!” Maya mumbled scoffing. She was Andrew’s wife and the daughter of the Chief of Police in Granada Hills.“Why would Dad insist that this pauper joined us? I hope he is not included in the will.”Morgan couldn’t hold his dissatisfaction, he looked at his mother in sear

Jason had just returned from purchasing grocery; his wife had sent him off as usual to the store. That had always been the regular routine. Jason would always run errands while she went on social gatherings and had fun with her friends. Even the care of the baby became his responsibility.He walked into the house through the backdoor then he made use of the elevator, his two hands holding the grocery bags firmly. Approaching their apartment, he could hear laughter and giggling. Dropping the bags on the cabinet in the kitchen, he made his way to their bedroom curious of who was the owner of the deep male voice he could hear from the room.The door to the bedroom was slightly opening, Jason could see two figures on the bed lying very close to each other in a romantic manner. He opened the door wider and walked into the room hurriedly to behold the two persons kissing and caressing each other on the bed. His wife Isabella was on lingerie while the man was bare-bodied.“What the hell!”“

Jason was confused. He took the phone down and looked at the screen one more time but he was certain that he didn’t know who was at the other end of the call.“Who is this?”“It is I Harry, young Master. Your Grandfather and I have been in search of you for decades.”“I don’t know you Harry. You must be mistaken. I am Jason Caruso not your Master.”“No young Master. Your name is Jack Walker and I would prove it to you, come to the address I would send to you.”The call dropped and a message came in almost immediately. “No 51 Chariot Street.”Jason dipped his hand inside his pockets, there was only a 20 dollar note left with him. The Palmers couldn’t let him take the bike which was given to him or any other possession.He walked through the road until he got to the highway. There was a taxi coming and so he waved at the driver who pulled over in front of him.“Take me to this address.” Jason showed the address on the phone screen to the driver who nodded.“That would be 18 bucks.” Ja
