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

Marry me
It had been a month since Julius was brought out of prison, and everything was going as everyone had hoped for. He had been of good conduct, keeping to the conditions that were given to him by Jason. But that didn’t mean that any chances could be taken with him. His reputation as a notorious criminal who had claimed lives made it quite difficult to trust him. The fact that he had been exonerated from the guilt of his actions was too much grade for him, and it would have been foolish of him to let it go to waste. He had spent the entire month begging for Shirley’s forgiveness, but she kept her distance, maintaining a mutual relationship with him which was based on the fact that they had a child together. Xavier on the other hand was old enough to understand that sometimes things don’t always go the way we want them. Even though he wished that his parents could be together someday, he also knew that his mother was only trying to be safe. She didn’t want to have to repeat the sam
Conditional Freedom
Days turned to weeks, and then to a month. Jason fulfilled his promise to Xavier and made sure he went to one of the best schools in the city. He knew that the boy still thought about his father even though he stopped talking about him, probably because his mind was occupied with school assignments, and some of the things Jason got him involved in just to make sure he stayed away from silly acts. Seated with Lord Walker, Jason waited patiently for the old man to speak, aware of what was about to be heard. “Jack?” Lord Walker leaned forward before he continued. “I know that Julius isn’t particularly the best Uncle in the entire world, but he is still family. I know that this is a very difficult decision for you to make. But you have to do this for the sake of the boy…” Lord Walker paused for a few seconds just to be certain that Jason was listening to him. He sighed softly and continued with a more audible tone. “Keeping him there way cause be painful for the boy even thoug
Reunion
Standing in front of Jason was Clark, the same best friend who turned out to be one of his enemies. He had lost his charm and confidence and almost looked like a better. He couldn’t even look at Jason for more than a few seconds before he bent his face to the ground in shame. It appeared that his outfit was oversized, but that was only proof that he had lost a lot of weight. “Why are you here, Clark? I am sure you didn’t just come to stare at me.” Jason broke the silence between them, staring at Clark with a smirk on his face. Brenda would have asked a few questions, but as soon as Jason mentioned the name of the man standing in front of them, she remembered some of the stories he told him about how his best friend betrayed him and went after his wife. She was only interested to know why Clark was there. “I am here to ask for your forgiveness, Jason. I also want to appreciate you for getting me out of jail.” Clark managed to say with a shaky tone. He couldn’t even look at Ja
I am Pregnant!
It had been three days since Xavier and his mother pleaded that Julius be set free but nothing had been done about it. Jason was taking his time to make a decision about his step-uncle’s fate. It seemed like it was going to take more time before he could be able to come t a conclusion. Lord Walker himself was wondering why Jason had not said anything about it, but he also knew that he was worried about his safety. After seeing and hearing what Julius was capable of, Jason had no other option than to keep the decision pending until he was done with some of the plans he had in mind. First, he enrolled Xavier in high school. He attended one of the best schools in Granada Hills, and the goal was to make sure that the young man didn’t need up on the streets ever again. Shirley on the other hand was going through a rehabilitation process. She was made to speak to someone and undergo struct measures of check which were often conducted to make sure she didn’t go back to her old habi
Release Him
The next day, it was finally time to bring back Lord Walker from the hospital after his recovery. Jason went together with the Butler, Brenda, and Xavier who insisted that he was going to go with them. Not only was he eager to see his mother, but he also wanted to see his Grandfather who almost sacrificed himself for his sake. By the time they arrived at the hospital, the old man was already seated on the bed while one of the nurses attending to him handed him over his drugs and a glass of water. “Thank you, my dear.” He said to the nurse as soon as he was done with his medication while he handed over the empty glass to her. He turned to his visitors and the brightness of his face increased at once, causing him to gesture to them at once. “I know what you are about to say, Jack…” He shook his head, but that wasn’t going to stop Jason from expressing himself. “That was really silly, Grandpa! You almost got yourself killed!” Jason walked up to the old man ahead of the other
Retribution
Xavier hesitated for a while, but he eventually mustered the guts to move. “Go ahead.” Jason urged him as soon as he took the first steps, and he continued moving, eyes on his father who was shocked to see him. Julius could tell that Xavier was truly his son, he didn’t think he needed any DNA to prove that. The resemblance was alarming, and the fact that the boy reminded him of himself when he was about the same age was enough. But he didn’t seem like he was the proudest father at that moment. He was glad that he had been given the opportunity to see his son, but he was equally ashamed of himself. Unable to get closer to the iron bars, he stood where he was, waiting patiently for Xavier to get closer to him. The boy stood in front of his father, staring at him without knowing what exactly he was supposed to say at that moment. The reunion wasn’t as pleasant as he had expected it to be. Father and son remained for over a minute, but their eyes said a lot to each other while
His Father
With their panic rising, Jason and Brenda paced along the hallway, waiting for anyone to come out of the theater. It had gotten so long that Jason had to send for Cara who came along with some guards to take Henry back to the Villa while they continued waiting anxiously. Eventually, the Doctor came out of the theater dripping with sweatballs that ran down his face. “Doctor?! What’s going on?” Jason asked anxiously, but instead of giving him a response, the Doctor moved to Brenda and whispered some words into her ear, making sure that Jason wasn’t going to hear their conversation. Brenda responded with a whisper as well before the Doctor nodded and hurried back to the theater without saying a word to Jason whom he only stared at while he expected him to say something. “Why didn’t he say anything to me?! What did he say, babe? Talk to me!” Jason moved closer to Brenda who looked like she didn’t know how to tell him what the Doctor whispered into her ear. “Brenda?” Jason call
Seizure
Brenda was silent for a while, but Jason was patient enough to wait for a response to his question. Firstly, she grabbed Henry from Jason and made sure he was sitting comfortably on her legs. She took in a deep breath which she let out slowly before she turned to look at Jason. “I am listening, Brenda. What were you guys discussing back there?”“Nothing really. Just girls’ talk.” “Okay?” Jason featured with both hands, indicating that he wanted to hear more details about their discussion. “I thought you said you were not so much interested in her, Jay. Why bothering to ask what we were discussing?”“Me? When did I say that?”“Well, you implied it.” Brenda shrugged, looking at Jason with a smirk on her face. “Just tell me what you guys were talking about back there, Brenda. She could have said something that needs to be verified by me. No other person knows her like I do.” Jason insisted. “Okay, fine.” Brenda sighed. “I was just worried about the way she looked, that’s
Motherhood
The sight of his ex-wife made Jason sigh, his previous countenance gave way for a frown that appeared as he stared at Isabella who managed to push the two guards aside because they let her do so. But they went after her and grabbed her at once, restraining her efforts to get close to Jason or her son. “Jason! Tell them to let me go! Let me go! Let me go!” Isabella continued to struggle with the guards, but she eventually got tired, panting in exhaustion while Jason and Brenda watched her with a little surprised written all over their faces. Henry recognized his biological mother, but it didn’t look like he was really concerned or excited to see her. He just stared at her as though he was trying to recall where he met her. “Tell them to let me go, Jason! Please.” Isabella pleaded, but Jason wasn’t really interested in the words that she uttered. What made him curious was the fact that she looked very unkempt and malnourished. It had been a few weeks since he last saw her, and h
