The Rising Phoenix: Devisee’s escapade. Thirty Working days
Jason looked at the luxurious car parked outside the hotel through the glass window at the corner, he wasn’t really sure if it was a good idea for him to go back to the Palmer residence with it, but on a second thought, an idea came to him. “Very well Mr Gary, it was really nice being here.” “No problem young master. It was a pleasure hosting you.” Gary said to Jason, then he escorted him outside the hotel to the spot where the car was parked. Jason was glad that there were just very few people around while he stepped out, the very thought of being seen by anyone who could disclose his identity bothered him as he scoured the entire environment carefully while he walked. The Chauffeur opened the door to the white Porsche for Jason before he got in with Gary standing right at the corner and waiting patiently. The Chauffeur soon after got into the driver’s seat and drove off as the sleek car reflected the resplendence of the early morning sunlight. The ride from the hotel tow
The Rising Phoenix: Devisee’s escapade. Accused!
“What? I didn’t steal them!” Jason said trying so hard not to overreact to the words that came out of Jacob’s mouth. His fists were clutched tightly as his breathing began to increase gradually. “Oh what are you trying to do? Hit me as well? I can see that you have added assault to your resume.” Jacob glared at Jason looking ay his tightened fists. Just then, Isabella appeared from the stairs carrying their son who was sound asleep on his mother’s bosom. “What is going on here?” She asked the moment she saw Jason and her cousins engaged in a heated argument. “Well good thing you are here Bella. Your ex husband here stole some new pair of cloths and a Hublot watch. There is no way he could have bought them, I am sure of that.” “Is this true?” Isabella said to Jason following what Jacob said to her. “Of course not! Why would I steal?” Jason returned immediately still trying to hold himself from throwing a punch at Jacob who stood just few inches away from him. “How e
The Rising Phoenix: Devisee’s escapade. Reported
“Oh yes! That’s the best thing to do.” Isabella said excitedly following Jason’s exclamation she really was loving where everything was leading to. “I can’t believe you right now Isabella! I can’t believe you would agree to have the father of you son arrested.” “Well you should have thought about that when you made me look like a fool at the courthouse. You bloody fool!” Isabella fired back at Jason, then she rolled her eyes at him and hissed for the second time. Jason was no longer comfortable with the tension that was gradually rising in the room, he tried all possible means to plead with them but all his efforts were futile. “I will do anything, don’t just arrest me I beg you. I didn’t steal these items I promise you.” “Quiet! We are done listening to you spew those rubbish from your gutter mouth.” Fiona said to Jason almost spiting into his eyes. “You all are making a very terrible mistake that would backfire and I promise you, you will regret this. One after the other
The Rising Phoenix: Devisee’s escapade. Arrested!
“That was really fast.” Isabella said as the entire eyes in the room including Jason’s turned towards the glass windows and saw the two police cars and the black jeep speeding into the compound. One would have thought that a politician was being escorted with the way they drove into the compound. The two white Police cars blaring their sirens parked right in front of the house and four fully armed policemen stepped out from the two cars. Three of the policemen made their way towards the house pointing their guns as they walked briskly while the fourth man went towards the black jeep with tilted glasses and opened the left door of the back seat. A middle aged man putting on a grey suit and black loafers to match stepped out of the car gradually, then he adjusted his collar and tie while the police man in front of him saluted him with a perfect agility. “That’s Vin Prescott Maya’s father.” Chloe announced the moment she saw the middle aged man alight from the car. She really
The Rising Phoenix: Devisee’s escapade. To the Station
Mr Vin got into the black jeep and the policeman who opened the door for him, closed it behind him and entered one of the white cars parked in front. Gradually, the three cars reversed almost at once and left the Palmer residence. Jason remained calm while in the car with the two policemen seated beside him with their guns fitted tightly in their hands. He didn’t want to say a word but only thought about the best way to handle the situation. “I bet you can’t speak now yeah? You bloody thief.” “He dared to lay his filthy hands on the Chief’s daughter. He is in for a lot of trouble.” The policeman by Jason’s right said right after his partner has spoken and they giggled in anticipation to whatever they felt was going to happen to Jason. “Why are you so quiet huh? Did cat cut your tongue?” Asked the policeman by Jason’s right hand and seeing that Jason chose not to say any word, he tapped his shoulder but still he was not responsive. “Don’t worry about the criminal Will, I am
The Rising Phoenix: Devisee’s escapade. No Record
There was a sudden silence in the ambiance as all the eyes in the room except Jason’s looked into the screen of the white laptop. “There is nothing here. It’s Empty Chief.” Smith said with a low and disappointed voice as he turned to Mr Vin and then faced Will. “Nonsense! That’s not possible! Move!” Mr Vin said, then he quickly went towards the laptop and pushed Smith away gently. “What’s his bloody name?” He questioned and raised his fingers to type into the keyboard for the laptop. “Jason Caruso Sir.” “Jason…Caru-so.” Mr Vin said as he typed in the names of Jason, then he clicked on the search icon and waited impatiently with his eyes glued to the screen. While all these were going on, Jason kept on smiling and shaking his head in a scornful manner as he looked at the three men in the room with him one after the other. “What? That’s not possible. You can’t tell me that this bloody thief and assaulter has no criminal record. Not even one!” Mr Vin yelled, then he turned
The Rising Phoenix: Devisee’s escapade. Stolen Card
“Oh really? What do you take us for? Some fools or what?” Mr Vin said with a smirk but Jason didn’t respond to him. He only kept on his smile and stood at a spot. “There is no way this belongs to you. You are some wretched leech who found himself lucky enough to lure yourself into the bed of a girl from a rich home.” Mr Vin sniggered but as much as his words slightly got to Jason he chose not to say any words in response. “This is all I need to lock you up. By the time we get the owner of the card to confirm that his card is missing and get him to testify against you, I promise that your life would be over.” Mr Vin said again with a broad smile extending across his face towards his jawline. The two policemen standing at different corners nodded with similar smiles following what he said. The Chief of police looked at the card thoroughly, turning it over and over again to get the details.“Hmm. This is a unique card. I bet it belongs to a very rich and powerful person, maybe a p
The Rising Phoenix: Devisee’s escapade. Pound of Flesh
“That was really fast. But I guess the earlier the better yeah.” Mr Vin said as soon as Smith spoke those words in excitement. “You are definitely going down young man. You messed up with the wrong family.” Smith said to Jason with so much satisfaction filled in the snigger that followed suite. “There is a storm coming, but you don’t see it.” Jason said, then he Scoffed and nodded his head twice in satisfaction. “I really commend your bravery even in the midst of impending danger. Bravo! But I hope it saves you from whatever they decide to do with you.” Mr Vin said to Jason, then he looked towards the door waiting with so much eagerness for Harry to walk into the room. “What is going on here?” Harry shouted as soon as he had stormed into the building. “Good thing you are here Sir. We caught this criminal with the card belonging to the Walkers. We hope he hasn’t withdrawn any money from the account.” “Yes. Just say the word and we will deal with him appropriately.” Will add

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
