The Rising Phoenix: Devisee’s escapade. What happened Bella?
Isabella couldn’t say any word. She kept mute for a few seconds unable to get herself to tell her mother of the twist of the encounter she had at the law firm. Seeing the worrisome look on her face, Fiona turned towards Clark with an inquisitive stare but the young man seemed to be in the same gloomy mood as her daughter. “What’s wrong baby! Is everything ok? Clark?” Fiona asked as her heart began to slowly speed up with irregular beats for some reason that wasn’t clear to her. “Oh don’t tell me you are thinking twice about dumping his silly ass! He was a poor bastard and couldn’t have been able to ever take care of you. He wouldn’t have been able to match your standards.” Maya said appearing from the back with her right hand clutching her phone tightly. “Come here Sweetie. No one to be sad you did absolutely the right thing.” Chloe said and embraced Isabella tightly with a smile on her face. Exactly my thoughts, I don’t know why she would be carrying a long face. Who wouldn
The Rising Phoenix: Devisee’s escapade. Silence
Jason ignored the looks on the faces of the members of the Palmer family in the living room and walked into the room slowly, this time with a straight face. He made his way towards the staircase but Jacob quickly blocked him with a slight push on his chest. “Where the hell do you think you are going?” Jacob asked glaring shots of displeasure and eagerness to start a fight with Jason. Jason clutched his fists, tightening them as though he was about to throw a punch but inhaling slowly, he let go of the anger inside of him. Jacob was really getting on his nerves and certainly he was going to pay for his actions. “What do you intend to do about that? Fight me? You dare not! Else I would have you locked up and the keys your cell thrown into the Pacific Ocean.” Jacob glared as he saw that Jason had tightened his fists together. “I do not have time for this Jacob, kindly leave my way!” “And if I don’t? What are you gonna do about that yeah fight me? Coward!” Jason ignored J

Andrew was the first to come down, he had always been expecting his grandmother to react in a certain way especially with the arrival of Jason to the house which Isabella didn’t seem to handle so well as they had expected. “Good evening Mum. How are you?” Fiona asked her mother standing up gradually from her sitting position, but the woman sneered at her and rolled her eyes at the same time. “Where is Isabella? Where is she?” “Welcome Granny how was your day?” Andrew said smiling at Lady Palmer whose temper was rising beyond the surface of the building. “Does it mean that no one understood my question or I am speaking in a foreign language? I said where is Isabella? For the last time, where is she?” “I will go fetch her Mum, please be calm.” Fiona pleaded and rushed outside the house and towards the pool. Lady Palmer at this point was pacing around the living room livid, her breath was escalating above it’s normal pace and her hands shaking amidst the effects of the n
The Rising Phoenix: Devisee’s escapade. Taxi Man
Jason looked properly to see who was speaking from inside the driver’s seat of the vehicle, that was when he realized who it was; the same driver who had insulted him because he couldn’t afford to give him the extra charges he asked for. “Yo man! I hear you were served divorce papers. I bet you finally got what you deserved! Serves you right!” Said the main as he sniggered shaking his head in a funny way just to make mockery of Jason. “What? Why aren’t you saying anything? Cat cut your tongue?” He said again and laughed hysterically at Jason.At first, Jason’s intentions were to walk away from the man, but on a second thought he felt it was better to carry on with him not mindful of his attitude. “I just want to get to my destination. I want no trouble.” Jason said calmly not in the mood to exchange words with the man. “Oh I see! Even if I was to see my trouble to you, bet you wouldn’t even be able to afford it. Loser.” “Just take me to the nearest hotel in town. I will pay

The two hefty men paid no attention to Thomas, they continued to drag him along the floor until they got to a corner in the alley before they forcefully hurled him to the wall and stood next to him as his two sides. The impact made him grunt in pain as soon as he landed on the rough wall. He shut his eyes in pain and extended his right hand to his back to rub off the intense pain. “Who are you? What do you want? I don’t have anything, I am just a taxi driver.” Thomas said with a whimper still trying to ease the pain with his hands but the two hefty men on black suits beside him said nothing, it was as though they were programmed not to speak. Thomas panted in pain, then he relaxed himself with his legs stretching out to enable him balance, he dared not run for the sight of the two hefty men alone was enough to send cold shivers down his spine. “Please! Just let me go. I swear I won’t come to this place again. Don’t harm me I beg you.” Thomas pleaded the men who refused to budg
The Rising Phoenix: Devisee’s escapade. Royal Castle
It took less than ten minutes for them to get to their location, there standing elegantly tall in the middle of night with an outstanding glitter that made it the center of attraction was the Royal Castle Hotel. It was the best hotel in the whole of Granada Hills, and only people of high profile like politicians and celebrities could be able to afford the luxury of the hotel. The car parked at the parking space of the hotel and as he looked at the tall structure before him, Jason marveled at the alluring sight of the hotel. It was built like a modern castle, the roofing was mounted on the building like a pinnacle, and the building itself seemed to be carved by the finest of artists. The ambience of the hotel was exquisite, sending sparkles of proficiency and wonder to anyone who dared to even take a peep at it. The gardens surrounding the hotel had all sorts of light around them and the statues also were outstanding, giving the euphoria of both and new architecture. Jason was
The Rising Phoenix: Devisee’s escapade. The Bet
“What? That’s more than twice my salary!” The guard standing close was shocked at the amount the Male Receptionist mentioned, he left his mouth wide open and turned towards Jason, expecting him to have an expected reaction. “Yeah! So you see exactly why I asked him if he was thought this place was an amusement park or the street. He clearly doesn’t know where he is.” Mira said allowed rolling her eyes at Jason. “I will take it.” Jason said without blinking, his countenance was laced with an intense confidence that shocked everyone around. “Sir, I am not sure you understand, I said that the room costs two hundred thousand dollars per night and we wouldn’t even be able to offer it to you if you are not a VVIP in this place. If you don’t mind, I could recommend a cheaper room for you.” “Francis, don’t even bother, I am sure he wouldn’t even be able to afford to pay ten thousand dollars for the most affordable room we have here. Can’t you see the way he looks, like a beggar.” Mir
The Rising Phoenix: Devisee’s escapade. The Black Card
Mira was angry that the poor fellow was trying to turn the whole thing into a show but who didn’t want to see him humiliated? She figured that he was biting more than he could chew and definitely wanted to make sure he was dealt with. “If you do not pay for the room as you have said, you will work for me as my cleaner at home for free for a month.” “And if I do?” Jason asked with full confidence. “That’s not even possible, I am sure of that.” Mira scoffed and looked at Jason again. The feeling of confidence crept into her and she was also sure to deal with him for being such a stubborn fellow. “What if I do? What becomes of you?” “I see you still find this funny, if you do then I would come work for you as your cleaner for a month.” “Mira!” Francis said aloud trying to call his colleague to order. Something inside of him told him that there could be more to the man’s shabby appearance and he believed his instincts. “Don’t worry, I am certain that by the time all these is

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
