The Rising Phoenix: Devisee’s escapade. Love Paradise
Jason was able to get to Brenda’s house a few minutes before it was 7 pm, and the moment he parked in front of the house, he picked up the bouquet of Roses on the seat beside him and alighted from the car with an exciting smile on his face. He couldn’t wait to see Brenda, and with each step he took, he could feel his heartbeat increasing. “Am I nervous? Why is my heart beating that way?” He asked himself with a whisper, looking at the door while he continued walking slowly to it.Gently, he pressed the doorbell with his left hand, careful enough not to let the flowers fall off from his right hand while he waited for Brenda to open the door from inside which didn’t take her up to a minute.Brenda opened the door after peeping through the peephole to see that it was Jason standing like a prince charming. “Hi, you are early,” Brenda said with a smile on her face, standing in front of Jason whom she had rendered speechless with her radiating beauty. She was putting on a beautiful re
The Rising Phoenix: Devisee’s escapade. Beautiful Beginnings
The Restaurant Manager continued speaking even when they got into the elevator, but Jason’s interest was not in what she was saying, but the fact that he hoped that the rooftop restaurant was going to be very lovely just like he had seen in magazines and on social media. Jason’s dreams were gradually coming to fulfillment, and he couldn’t wait to do everything he hoped to achieve someday. He hoped that someday he was going to take the woman he cared about to a lovely restaurant, and even though he hoped that it was going to be Isabella whom he had married conditionally, he was still glad that it was still happening with Brenda. “Here we are, Sir, Ma’am. Welcome to the Love Paradise garden, I hope you have the most amazing experience.” Rachael announced with a smile on her face, gesturing to the restaurant with both hands while Jason and Brenda were wowed at how beautiful it was. “Love Paradise indeed!” Brenda said with so much excitement, looking at the small space with just a t
The Rising Phoenix: Devisee’s escapade. Super Rich!
While the couple were still sipping their wine and chuckling softly, the waitress standing close to the entrance couldn’t stop admiring them while a bright smile was plastered all over her face. “They look so good together.” She said with a whisper, glad that she decided to come to work that night after almost calling in sick. “You are staring, Jay. Why are you staring?” Brenda asked with a whisper, feeling very shy while Jason continued staring at her with a smile on his face. “I couldn’t stop staring, I am sorry. But you look very beautiful, and I am really glad that I decided to do this.” “Were you having second thoughts?” Brenda asked as soon as Jason was done speaking, causing him to lower the glass of wine he was about to drink from. She kept staring at him, curious to know what his response was going to be.“Not really, it’s just been a rough past week, and there are a lot of things I am trying to settle all of them, it’s almost overwhelming.” “Oh, tell me about them
The Rising Phoenix: Devisee’s escapade. Be mine!
Seeing that the waitress was lowering the tray to the table, Jadon gently let go of Brenda who adjusted herself as well while she looked at the covered dishes on the tray, eager to know what was inside. The waitress grabbed the dish covers and slowly lifted them before she kept them aside and placed the dishes on the table, one in front of Brenda, and the other in front of Jason. The couple stared at the food on their plates, savoring the delicious aroma that flowed alongside the hot steam from the food. “What is this? I don’t think I have seen it before.” Brenda asked politely, looking at the waitress who was holding onto the tray with the dish covers on it. “That’s Surf and Turf.” “Surf and Turf?”“Yes, Ma’am.” The waitress nodded in response, maintaining a smile on her face, but when she saw that Brenda was still curious to know more, she cleared her throat after she decided to explain further. “It’s also called Reef and Beef. It’s a special cuisine made with a combina
The Rising Phoenix: Devisee’s escapade. Above Expectation
Seeing her, Jason had to stop instantly while he still held onto Brenda who had a satisfactory smile on her face. “Absolutely, Miss Flitch! We really enjoyed our stay here. Thank you so much for everything.” Jason said with a smile on his face, still holding onto Brenda who had her eyes on the lovely necklace hanging around Rachael’s neck. “I am glad you enjoyed your stay here. Please, do well to come back soon.” Rachael said before she turned to look at Brenda who was still staring at her necklace. “I am so glad that you had so much fun, Ma’am. I hope you come back soon with your husband.” “Oh no! We are not married.” Brenda corrected at once while the Manager’s face turned neutral.“I am so sorry, I thought you both were married.” Rachael apologized at once, looking at Jason who chuckled softly. “It’s okay,” Brenda said softly, and then she turned to look at Jason who was still chuckling, wondering what was still tickling his fancy. When she realized that he was still a
The Rising Phoenix: Devisee’s escapade. Distorted again
Eventually, Jason nodded with a smile on his face without taking his eyes away from Brenda who took a step closer to him while she held onto her handbag with both hands.“Do you want to kiss me?” She asked with a whisper, looking directly into his eyes with a smile on her face. “Definitely, yes…” Jason responded with a nod, his tone was low, and he tried to comport himself. “Go on…” Brenda granted Jason permission while she took another step forward toward him, keeping her feet on the same level. Jason took in a deep breath which he let out slowly, and when he cleared his throat, he pushed his face closer to hers and locked their lips together.Brenda closed her eyes at once, basking in the euphoria of ecstasy while Jason grabbed her waist with his left arm, and drew her closer to himself. At that moment, he almost let go of the bouquet of flowers he was holding in his right hand while he continued kissing her passionately. The kids lasted for over a minute, and when they we
The Rising Phoenix: Devisee’s escapade. Desperate Measures
Jason headed straight to his son’s room the moment he walked out of his room, and when he opened the door, he heard the sound of his cry which made him run into the room instantly. He grabbed the baby from the cradle and carried him up gently with a smile on his face. “Good morning, Henry! Don’t cry, I am here now.” He wrapped his arms around the baby and dandled him slowly. “Are you hungry? Do you want some milk? What do you want to eat? Tell me…” He continued pacifying the toddler until he was able to get her to stop crying. “That’s it, be calm,” Jason said with a whisper, smiling at his son while he continued to dandle her. Henry cooed almost immediately and lifted both hands to grab his father’s beard. “You like it? Don’t worry, when you become a man you will choose if you are to keep yours or not.” Jason chuckled softly, and then he moved toward the couch in the room to sit down, but he heard the sound of the door opening which made him look at once to see Cara walking
The Rising Phoenix: Devisee’s escapade. Guilt Maybe
Making a decision seemed quite difficult for Harry, but standing right there and looking at Jason who seemed very desperate, he was forced to think deeper, looking for a suitable response to give to him. “Say something, Harry. This is really serious, I don’t trust that guy.” Jason said after a few seconds of silence, looking at Harry who sighed heavily before nodding in response. “This is really going to be difficult, Young Master.” “Difficult but not impossible, Harry.” “I don’t know what Lord Walker is going to think about this.” “Trust me, Harry. What my Grandfather is going to think about this is irrelevant at this moment. This is for the sake of his life, and even though I am aware of how difficult this is, I also know that I cannot afford to lose my Grandpa.” “But he is his father, I don’t think that Julian would be capable of hurting Lord Walker.”“You don’t know that, Harry. I am left with the choice of choosing between him and my Grandfather, and I am definitely

Joe’s Cafe
The waitress discovered that two men were walking toward her, and adjusting herself with a welcoming smile on her face, she greeted them warmly. “Hello, Sir. Welcome to Joe’s Café. Do you need anything?” “Yes. Hello. We are looking for a lady called Shirley. I was told she works here.” Jason said with a smile as well, looking at the waitress whose countenance showed that she didn’t know who he was talking about. “Shirley? I don’t think I know any Shirley who works here, Sir. I am new here, but I can get you someone who could know.” “Yes, please! Thank you so much.” Harry said calmly, gesturing to the waitress who nodded before walking away, holding onto the small notepad and pen she had in her hands. “I really hope this ends well,” Jason said with a whisper, sighing firstly while he kept his eyes on the path the waitress took. The waitress returned in less than a minute with another waitress who looked older and more experienced than her. “Hello, Sirs. My name is Nora. I

Bring Him Home
For a few seconds, Jason remained silent, but it didn’t seem like that was going to solve anything. The old man was still waiting to get a response from him, and Harry was interested to know the outcome of their meeting as well. Adjusting himself to get a more comfortable posture, Jason cleared his throat and sighed before he spoke with a voice that almost sounded like a whisper. “He has a son.” He said calmly, but his words were too heavy for the other men in the room to remain as calm as he was. Lord Walker knew Jason to be a man who didn’t joke with such things but for a second, he remained calm, hoping that he was going to say he was joking. Maybe he meant to say something else. “A son?” “Yes, Grandpa. He has a son.” “Julius has a son?” Lord Walker leaned forward, and grabbed the half-empty glass of water which he consumed before returning it to the table. “Are you okay, Lord Walker?” Harry asked, moving closer to the old man who raised his hands to stop him from g

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
