The Rising Phoenix: Devisee’s escapade. To the Auction
Jason lifted his face as soon as he heard the words from the bodyguard and seeing that they had arrived home, he quickly got out of the car and walked toward the entrance of the mansion, completely ignoring the bodyguards who were bowing to him. He pushed the door open and stepped in at once, only to see Harry standing by a corner inside the building, with a blue tablet which he held onto in his hands, and looked at the screen occasionally. “You are here, Young Master.” “Yes, Harry. I think we have…” Jason said and then he looked at the time on his screen and gasped slightly. “Just forty-five minutes, Jason.” “Yes, Young Master. But everything is set, I have instructed the bodyguards on what to do. All you have to do is follow everything I have sent you on your phone.” Harry said, pointing at the phone Jason was holding, which he causally glanced at at several intervals within a few seconds. “I have set up your profile and sent you the invite to your phone.” “Yes, I have
The Rising Phoenix: Devisee’s escapade. The Auction
The cars continued to drive through the busy road for almost twenty minutes until they got to a sharp bend by the right which led to a narrow road that went deeper and deeper as Jason looked through the window of the car, being very cautious of everything he set his eyes on.The location was evidently classified and hidden, as the only things Jason could set his eyes on were a few abandoned buildings along the narrow road surrounded by thickets. There was no sign of vitality anywhere and for a moment, Jason wanted to question if they were in the right place, almost picking up his phone to call Harry.“Where the hell is this place?” He thought to himself, still scouring the entire surroundings with his eyes widened.The cars continued to drive through the lonely path, galloping through the sloppy road until they eventually got to a large white bungalow, sitting majestically at a corner, right in front of the woods with only a few meters separating them from each other. Jason sighe
The Rising Phoenix: Devisee’s escapade. Exhibition
“My name is Elliot Cameron, and I will be your host for today. Today, we have amazing deals for you! So many choices just to satisfy you. We took note of all the reviews and demands you made on the secret website, and we decided to adjust the amount of goods to be purchased.” Elliot was elated, as he spoke to his audience, moving from one corner to the other, displaying his brief stature. There were two bodyguards in similar white suits just like the man at the door, and they looked as though they were robots, standing at the two ends of the large curtain behind the stage. “We know you will be wondering why we had to push the time for the auction closer. Well, you will get to find out really soon. We couldn't wait to show you the juicy deals we have for you tonight! I am sure you are gonna love them!” There was a little murmuring from the people seated at the various tables in the hall, as gestures and utterances of expectations filled the air. “I hope they are going to have w
The Rising Phoenix: Devisee’s escapade. The Bidding
Jason smiled at Elliot after he had said those words, and then he bent his face to the ground, unable to keep up with the eyes that were staring at him with so many feelings inside them. The ladies who were seated with Jason continued to caress his body, chuckling with so much excitement, it was evident that they were intrigued by the announcement Elliot made. “Mind if I join you?” Came the sweet female voice from a corner, causing Jason to lift his head to see who had spoken. It was the lady who was seated in front of Jason, and without waiting to get approval from him, she stood up from her seat, and walked up to his table, pulling out the only seat left at his table. Her bodyguard grabbed her blue purse and the bud paddle on her table and placed them on Jason’s table. The ladies who were seated close to Jason didn’t seem happy about her arrival, but there was absolutely nothing else they could do apart from giving her looks of disgruntle, even though they did it secretly.
The Rising Phoenix: Devisee’s escapade. Counterbid
“Yes! Lady B is going for two hundred and ten thousand dollars!” Elliot announced excitedly, and Bianca smiled in excitement and turned to look at Luna. “Now beat that!” She said, not minding if she was able to hear her or not. “Anyone to oppose her? Anyone?” Elliot said loudly and searched with his eyes scouring the entire hall, but no one seemed to be interested in bidding for the car. He looked at Luna, but she bent her face to the ground and growled angrily. “Cancel the bid already! The car is mine!” Bianca said with a frown on her face, while Jason looked at her with so much astonishment. “She really does have a lot of money!” He said to himself, while Bianca waited impatiently for Elliot to make the pronouncement and announce her as the winner. “It seems no one is willing to battle with her. Going for two hundred and ten thousand dollars! We have our winner here! Lady B!!!!”“Right! Beat that!” Bianca said excitedly and looked at Luna who rolled her eyes at her and hi
The Rising Phoenix: Devisee’s escapade. Challenger
“Anyone for Five hundred thousand dollars? Anyone?” Eliot said loudly, placing himself in a bent posture, and scouring through the hall with his eyelids flickering, and his eyes widened. Jason couldn’t take his eyes off the man, and when he did, it didn’t take long for him to return them to looking at him. “That’'s Larry Bardolf, you should know him,” Bianca said to Jason, realizing that he had been staring at Larry for a while. “Yeah, who doesn't know him? I haven't really spoken to him before, and I would really love to. I want to discuss a business idea with him.” Jason responded, and then he turned to look at Bianca who had spent the past few seconds admiring him. “I see,” Bianca said calmly, and then she grabbed her glass of champagne and sipped a bit from it, while Jason continued to look at her, suspecting that she had some other thing to say because of the smile she had on her face. Bianca placed the glass on the table, and then she leaned forward to Jason and sighed
The Rising Phoenix: Devisee’s escapade. High Stakes
At that moment, everywhere in the hall was engulfed with a sudden silence as everyone sat back to watch the two men bid for who was going to go home with the car. “Does any other person want to join the bidding? Who is up for some challenge? Anyone?” Elliot asked with his loud tone, scouring all over the place, but he was only disappointed as there was no one willing to join the challenge, as their only plan was to relax and watch as the drama before them unfolded. “It seems we are only up for the two men here! Alright! Alright! Who goes home with this beauty? Anyone for Eight hundred thousand…Oh, I see that Mr. Bardolf has his paddle up!” Larry turned to look at Jason who smiled at him, but he refused to reciprocate the smile, turning again to face the stage. “Mr. Bardolf is up for Eight hundred thousand dollars! That’s some money there! That’s some dollars right there!”Eliot was more excited than he had ever been ever since the event started. He jumped up and down and danc
The Rising Phoenix: Devisee’s escapade. Highest Bidder
Without wasting any time, Jason lifted his bid paddle and held onto it firmly with his right hand, while his smile remained intact. “Mr. Jones is up for one point one million dollars! That’s right! I love this! Today is the best day of my life! Yeah!” For some reason, Elliot seemed very excited, as he continued to Jump up and down the stage, clapping and screaming at t the top of his voice. But it appeared that his audience was enjoying watching him display such vibrance, as they continued to smile without saying a word. “You really are up for this, you don’t seem like you are giving up anytime soon,” Bianca said to Jason with her glass of champagne close to her lips, causing Jason to look at her for a few seconds. “Never, I am not going to stop,” Jason said softly without letting go of his smile.While Elliot continued to scream and Jump all over the stage, Larry turned toward Jason’s direction, and their eyes met instantly, but it appeared that he had a smirk on his face wh

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
