The Rising Phoenix: Devisee’s escapade. Coincidental
Jason looked at Brenda for a while, unable to find the right response to give to him. At that moment, he became a bit nervous, and couldn’t even deny everything she said. “Where are you coming from, Jay? Who were you with?” Brenda’s curiosity lingered, and even though she looked at the cradle to be sure that Henry hadn't wake up, she still returned her inquisitive stare to Jason who took in a deep breath which he let out slowly in an attempt to get a grip on himself. “I promise you, it’s not what you think.” “But I didn’t say anything, Jay. Did I? Huh?”“No, Brenda,” Jason said calmly while Brenda continued giving him a deep stare with her eyebrows lifted to form a furrow. “Okay, here is the thing.” Jason grabbed her hand, and even when she dragged it away, he grabbed it again and held onto it with a tighter grip. “So I went to see some very dangerous people, the people who tried to hurt my Grandpa. Then I went to the club with the daughter of one of them. I swear, nothing
The Rising Phoenix: Devisee’s escapade. Same deal
The first thought that crept into Jason’s mind the moment he woke up. He turned to his right and saw that Brenda was still sound asleep. Gently, he got down from the bed in order not to wake her, and after washing his mouth and his face in the bathroom, he walked to his son’s room and saw that he was still sleeping before he moved to Lord Walker’s room and found him awake, sitting on his wheelchair. “Morning, Grandpa.” Jason shut the door behind him and walked into the room while the old man looked at him without saying a word. Jason would have thought there was something troubling him, but he had an excited smile on his face and observed Jason as he walked up to him. “Okay? What’s going on, Grandpa? Why do you have that look on your face?” “I take it that you had the most amazing night of your life, Jack.” Lord Walker chuckled while Jason shook his head and grunted. “Really, Grandpa?” Jason smirked at the old man, but he refused to stop smiling while he held onto one of his
The Rising Phoenix: Devisee’s escapade. Best friend
Jason paused for a few seconds, and after staring at the door for a short while, he continued with a whisper. “I need you to do something for me, Harry. Something very important, and I need your help to do it discreetly, no one must know about it.” “What is it, Young Master?” Harry retorted at once, staring at Jason who cleared his throat softly before he continued. “Dalton Creed wants me to help him and his group with their next shipment, I think it’s the biggest shipment for them. I need you to make arrangements for that shipment to be brought in safely from wherever they want, and then we can decide whatever we want to do with it.” Harry was silent for a few seconds, while he gave Jason’s demand a quick thought. The look on his face was able to provide the answer that Jason needed when he realized that the Butler was silent. “This is going to be a little bit difficult, Young Master.” Harry sighed softly, and Jason did the same almost immediately. “Difficult but not impo
The Rising Phoenix: Devisee’s escapade. To the mansion
Brenda thought about the words Jason said, but she couldn’t understand them, and she had to ask questions. “What do you mean, Jay? What do you mean by no one said I was not going to see her?” Brenda continued staring at Jason who sighed heavily with a smile on his face, adjusted himself, and then cleared his throat.“What I meant was that she could come here…”“Really? Are you sure?” Brenda asked at once, her brows were lifted, and she grabbed his hands quickly while anticipating his response. “Yes, why not? I mean you said she is your best friend, right?” “Mmh-hmm!” Brenda nodded with a smile. “Good! I don’t want you going out there, Brenda. It’s not safe. Just tell her to come over. Besides, I would really love to meet her.” “Yes! Thank you so much, Jay!” Brenda dragged Jason into a warm embrace, and kissed him immediately after she pulled him away from her body. “I will just inform her right away!” She stood up from the couch at once and dialed her best friend’s numbe
The Rising Phoenix: Devisee’s escapade. Tricia
That same afternoon, Jason was seated in the living room with Kelvin, and after they were done with the main reason he was there, a thought crept into Jason’s mind, and he decided to follow it up at once. “Young Master? I think that’s all for now. Everything you need is here, and I will keep a close eye on the rest.” Kelvin handed over a flash drive to Jason who held onto it carefully. “Thank you, Kelvin. One more thing…” Jason grabbed his phone from his pocket, and clicked on the hidden number that had been calling him. “Someone has been calling me with a hidden number for a while now, and I want to know who the caller is. Can you do something about this?” He showed the screen of the phone to Kelvin who looked at it closely. “May I?”“Yeah, sure! You can have it.” Jason handed over the phone to Kelvin who plugged it into his laptop and began to do his work at once while he watched with keen interest. “I just need to find the IP address on the phone, let’s just hope that t
The Rising Phoenix: Devisee’s escapade. It’s a Trap!
While they ate quietly, Tricia couldn’t stop staring at Jason who constantly tried to avoid having any eye contact with her. Her eye gestures and her smile were a bit awkward, and she didn’t mind gawking at him while holding onto her cutleries. “Jay? Are you okay?” Brenda broke the silence in the hall, realizing that Jason had suddenly stopped eating while he bent his face to the table. Tricia stopped looking at him as soon as she saw that Brenda was turning to look at her. “I am fine.” “Don’t you like the food?”“Of course, I do! Annie is a wonderful chef!”“Then what’s the problem? You were enjoying the food a while ago.” “I am fine, maybe I just need some water.” Jason attempted to grab the the jug of water in front of him, but Brenda grabbed it before him because it was closer to him. “Let me help you.” Brenda poured some water into Jason’s glass and handed it over to him. “Thank you.” Jason said calmly after returning the glass to her. “Are you okay, now?”“Yeah.
The Rising Phoenix: Devisee’s escapade. Three days to go
With his mind still unrest, Jason paced around the living room from one corner to the other. He had just gotten off the phone with James who assured him that everything was going well in the hospital, but he still wasn’t comfortable with the fact that Brenda had gone to work after everything he told her. Later on, Tricia joined him in the living room, and it was as if she was looking for another opportunity to get closer to him. “Mr. Walker? You seem disturbed. Do you care to share what the problem could be?” She said as she catwalked toward him, making sure that he noticed her with the sound of her heels clanking on the marble tiles. “I am fine, Tricia. It’s nothing.” Jason looked away from him at once, avoiding eye contact no matter how hard she tried to get him to look at her. “It doesn’t look like it’s nothing, Mr. Walker. Just know that you can talk to me, whatever it is I am here for you. Is my friend stressing you? I wouldn’t be shocked if that was the case. Brenda does
The Rising Phoenix: Devisee’s escapade. Shot
Amidst the panic that crept into Jason’s nerves, he tried to remain calm, but it didn’t seem like the words he heard from Brenda were going to let him. “Brenda? Are you there? What’s going on? Where is James?” He waited, but there was no response. “Hello? Can you hear me? Babe?” He looked at the screen of the phone, and that was when he realized that the call had dropped. “Young Master? What's happening?” “We need to go to the hospital, Harry! Now!” Jason stormed out of the house, and Harry followed him at once, gesturing to the two guards standing by the corner of the building who followed them into the car at once.“Drive! Be fast about it!” Jason ordered at once while he continued dialing Brenda’s number, but she wasn’t answering. “Why isn’t she taking her calls? She should take her calls!” Jason grunted loudly, trying to reach Brenda for the umpteenth time. “Maybe you should call James, Young Master. He should be in the position to say what’s going on.” Harry suggeste

The Man of the Moment
Jason watched the two sisters as they wrapped their arms around each other, glad to have reunited after such a long time. A bright smile appeared on his face, and he began to wish that he had a sibling. The other girls who were awake and close to Nadia’s bed continued watching with keen interest, and at that moment, they were more assured that they were in safe hands since Jason had brought Rose to see her sister, and the doubt they had about their safety began to vanish instantly. Rose whispered some words into her sister’s ear, and even without hearing a word of what she was telling her, Jason could tell that they were talking about him, and within a few seconds, Rose stood up and walked up to him. She refused to let go of her smile while she walked slowly until she stopped a few inches away from him. “Thank you so much! We are very grateful!” Rose didn’t give Jason the opportunity to respond, and she embraced him tightly, shutting her eyes while she wrapped her arms around hi

Unexpected Reunion
Rose walked out of the mansion a few minutes after she was called by one of the guards at Jason’s instruction. She had a curious expression on her face, and it became a little bit intense the moment she set her eyes on Jason who had a strange smile on his face. “Rose? How are you?” Jason’s face brightened up more the moment he set his eyes on Rose, but she was a little bit confused and ignored his question. “You sent for me.” She said calmly, stopping about three meters in front of Jason who nodded instantly without letting go of his smile. “Oh yes! I have a surprise for you. I am sure you are going to love it. Come on, let’s go!” Jason gestured to Rose to follow him, but she seemed a bit reluctant to even take a step. Jason was forced to turn to look at her when he realized that she hadn't made a move to follow him. “Come on, Rose. This is really important, I am sure you will love it. This is something you have always wanted.” Jason said convincingly, and taking in a deep b

Nadia
Jason received a call while he was driving on the highway. He had to slow the car down at once to be able to take the fall after seeing who the caller was on the screen of the phone. “Harry?” He said, and then he cleared his throat while listening attentively to hear what the Butler was going to say. “Young Master? We found something, I think you need to see this.” Harry said from the other end of the line, and Jason let go of the steering wheel at once while he held onto the phone with his other hand. “Where are you?”“At the location where the shipments were taken,” Harry responded at once, and Jason nodded slowly before grabbing the gear stick. “I will be right there!” He reversed the car at once and changed direction, heading to the location where Harry called from. The road was busy, causing Jason’s impatience to grow, but he remained calm while looking for the best way to maneuver through some of the cars in front of him. “Out of the way!” He barked at one of the st

Merciless
Looking at the people kneeling before him one after the other, Jason smirked, and almost immediately, he sniggered at them while he let them deal with the anxiety that cringed them. “You seek mercy?” He asked, and even though none of them could utter a word, the nod from Isabella and her Grandmother was enough to answer his question. The rest were too ashamed to react to his question. “I see…” He scoffed, and after looking around for a few seconds, he returned his gaze to them without letting go of the smirk on his face. “What you should seek is redemption, all of you. From where I am standing, you do not deserve mercy. Maybe when you have tasted the other side of life just like I have, then you will be able to receive redemption. We are done here, I only came to claim what rightfully belongs to me, your words have no effect on me.” Jason turned to look at Ramon who waited to hear what he was going to say, eager to carry out their instruction. “Ramon?”“Yes, Young Master!” Th

Kneel Shamelessly
The Palmers looked at each other the moment they heard the utterances from Jason, and when they returned their gazes to him, they could see that he wasn’t joking when he said those words, and even afterward. “You… You want us to kneel?”“Why not, Isabella? If you really want to show me how desperate you are to be shown mercy, then getting on your knees shouldn’t be a problem. The ball is in your court.” Jason maintained a smirk on his face, and then he went silent, waiting to see what their reaction was going to be. “You really want us to kneel?” Lady Alice asked with a weak tone, but Jason remained silent while he maintained his smirk. The old lady looked at her family members, and seeing that they were as helpless as she was, she swallowed hard saliva and sighed heavily. “I can't believe I am about to do this.” She grunted, and after giving Jason one long look, she slowly lifted her gown with both hands, and went on her knees, unable to lift her face from the ground. “Thi

Game Over
The news of the revelation of the identity of the richest and youngest billionaire in the entire country spread like wildfire, and people were cut between trying to know how a nobody suddenly became the heir to the biggest conglomerate in the country, and how he had managed to keep his secret hidden for so long while he carried out all his plans. Evidently, Jason had succeeded in carrying out his plans, or most of them, but there was still more, and there was no way he was going to leave any loose ends. The sun had taken over the moon, shining its rays on the surface of the earth while the cool morning breeze was blowing on the faces of everyone who was out that morning, including those who left their windows open. Standing firm with his evergreen smile intact, Jason kept his eyes on the Palmer mansion for a very long time while the memories of the past experiences he had in that building flashed through his mind. “Who would have thought that this day would come?” He thought t

Lock Away
While the Palmers were still arguing amongst themselves, Jason turned to look at Dalton and his cohorts who were seated at one of the round tables in the hall, staring at him with so many thoughts going through their minds. “To the man who killed my father. Of course, you are not going to be left out of the special packages going around. I have always been longing for this day when I can look you in the eyes, and watch you pay for what you did.” Jason grunted angrily, and then he took in a deep breath which he let out slowly before he continued. “I have your goods locked up somewhere safe, but the authorities have been informed of all your involvement. They should be here any moment from now.” Jason looked at the time on his wristwatch, and then at the entrance of the hall. “Aha! There they are!” He nodded in satisfaction as soon as he saw the ten policemen tripping into the hall with their guns in their hands. They marched straight to Dalton’s table and surrounded him and his c

The Big Reveal
The entire hall was thrown into a period of shock. First, it was a long silence, followed by whisperings, and then the recognition by some of those who knew Jason. “Is that?…” Lady Alice Palmer couldn’t finish her words. Seated at one of the long tables in the hall, she turned to look at her son Morgan who was seated beside her, but when he didn’t seem like he was ready to say anything, she turned to look at Isabella who she was certain was going to be able to recognize her ex-husband just in case her eyes were deceiving her. “That’s Jason!” Isabella confirmed before her Grandmother could open her mouth to ask her. “What the hell is he doing here? And why is Philip kneeling before him?” She added, standing up slowly from her seat to have a better look. “Maybe he is one of the guards who are here with Mr. Walker.” Jacob her cousin stated, and Andrew nodded to support him even though he had several doubts running through his mind, especially with the fact that Jason stood out fr

White Party
Finally, it was time for the shipments to arrive, and the anticipation in the air was higher than it had ever been both for the two parties. Jason was clad in one of his very expensive black suites, complimented with a classic Tom Ford brown shoe, and a Richer Miller wristwatch. His cologne went before him, and also remained a few minutes even after he was gone. “You look very beautiful in that dress, my baby.” He said with a pleasant smile, looking at Brenda who walked out of the room, dressed in a white gown that that had beautiful pebbles embroidered all around it. A nice diamond necklace was hanging around her neck, and her hills were impeccably dazzling. “Thanks, Jay! I never knew you had such an amazing taste for quality and beautiful things.” Brenda retorted at once, chuckling with a blush. “Ah! You have to get used to it, my darling! See, I know luxury more than you think, and for you, I will do anything in the world just to make sure that you are ever-glowing. You have
