The Rising Phoenix: Devisee’s escapade. Coiffure
With the thoughts that resided in his mind constantly reoccurring throughout the ride to the Palmer residence, Jason could only sigh severally, that the guard in the driver’s seat was forced to steal interval looks at him, wondering what was wrong with him. “A lot has happened within a few days, my head bangs!” He whispered loudly, but the only thing the guard could hear was mumblings, as Jason’s words were inaudible to him, and all of his efforts to hear him were futile. Feeling that someone was watching him, Jason was moved by impulse, as he changed his view from staring at nothing to looking at the rearview mirror, only to see the eyes of the guard staring at him, even though he withdrew his gaze at once. Instantly, Jason’s thoughts were drifted by the sight of himself which made him really uncomfortable. He looked at the time on his wristwatch and sighed. “I still have some time left, I could take some time to myself. After all, I don’t see what I would be doing there exce
The Rising Phoenix: Devisee’s escapade. Deep thoughts
Jason said nothing in response to the words that the barber said, as he wondered why he was asking him such a question. “I am sorry, Sir. It’s just that we know almost all of our customers, and I can’t remember seeing your face here. Also, you look like you are way above this kind of place.” “Oh, I see.” “Yes sir.” The barber said with a smile on his face which Jason reciprocated, even though he didn’t want to, he thought the barber was going to become silent afterward, but he had no intention to. “So tell me, Sir. Have you been here before?” At first, Jason wanted to be silent, but in order not to appear rude, he sighed and decided to respond to the question. “Not quite, this is my first time here.” “That’s lovely, sir. I knew it, welcome to our salon!” “Yeah, thank you.” “I hope you will come back later after this, we will be happy to have you back. We have an ongoing discount for our loyal customers, and I would like you to be a part of it. It won’t last for too l

Slowly, Jason got up from the seat, and looked at his reflection in the mirror, unable to resistthe urge to smile in self-admiration. He turned to look at Yusuf, nodding in satisfaction."Thank you, Yusuf, you have done a wonderful job.""I am glad you like it, Sir." The barber said with a chuckle, holding onto his hair clipper andthe apron cape in his hands."How much is it!""Just a hundred and fifty dollars, Sir."As soon as he heard those words from Yusuf, Jason nodded with his smile intact, and then heput his hand into his pocket and brought out two dollar bills, handing them over to him."You can keep the change.""What? Thank you! Thank you, Sir!" Yusuf said loudly after he had gasped at Jason's kindgesture, but the young man only nodded, and said nothing in response to him."Please come back anytime you need to have a nice haircut, Sir. I will always be at yourservice.""I will keep that in mind, Yusuf. Have a nice day, and I wish you well with your aspirati

"Oh, that's terrible! They messed with the wrong family." Jason said, realizing that hehad been living devils for a long time."How did I not see this?" He thought to himself, sighing in a little surprise. He knew that thePalmers were hostile, but he had hoped that they had a little sympathy in them, thinking theyonly detested him because he was poor and unusually married to Isabella, but henever knew they could be that vile."I shouldn't have listened to Clark. " He thought to himself, grunting at the feeling inside him,but on second thought, he felt everything happened for a reason."I am sorry for everything they made you go through. That was horrible of them.""Thank You, Young Master. I am glad that I was able to secure a job with your family. Mr.Harrison offered me this job as soon as I applied through an old schoolmate. I am gratefulfor this job."Gradually, the bodyguard let go of the gloom on his face, and he started to smile, driving towardthe driveway t
The Rising Phoenix: Devisee’s escapade. Unruly
Jason walked into the house, and Clara stood mouth agape with her husband looking at Jason while they struggled with the shocking encounter that they had witnessed. Their shock absorbers were not able to withstand the tension in their body. Who would have thought that the lowly son-in-law was ever going to stand up for himself? “Did you see that?” Clara whispered to the hearing of her husband, but he said nothing as he was struggling with missed feelings, unsure if he was to concentrate on his anger or deal with the astonishment inside his head. He sighed heavily and turned to face his wife who had been looking at him, and waiting for a response. “Don’t worry about him babe. Let’s just get the hell out of here, I will deal with him later.” Clara wasn’t convinced by the words she heard from her husband, plus she had expected him to say something else, something meaningful and threatening. She stood at the spot, watching as he walked to the Lamborghini and opened the door.

The baby was crying softly as soon as he woke up, realizing that there was no one around to attend to him. “Daddy is here! Don’t cry, now.” Jason said, as he picked up the toddler from the cradle, and carried him up with a smile on his face. Seeing his father, Henry let go of his tears, and chuckled in excitement, looking right into his eyes. “Don’t worry, son. Everything is going to be alright pretty soon. I just need to take care of a few things, and I will fix this. I promise.” The toddler cooed loudly as though he understood what his father had said, while his smile and chuckles remained intact. “You must be hungry, let’s get your teeth clean first,” Jason said to his son, and then he carried him to the bathroom and washed his mouth, coming out a few minutes later with the feeder still in his hand. “Here, have this .” He said to Henry, putting the nipple of the feeder into his mouth, but the toddler grabbed the feeder from him with both hands and turned to his right, h

Jason stood speechlessly, watching as Isabella hurriedly walked past him after waving to the baby who didn’t seem like he cared if she was leaving, knowing that his father was with him.As the sound of her heels clanking on the floor while she left, Jason struggled with everything in him to suppress the anger that he felt inside. Isabella shut the door behind her, after she had left the room, and went into her car, driving off in a hurry. It was so obvious that she wasn’t going to work. “How did I get myself involved in all of this?” Jason asked himself, but while he held onto the thought, his son began to cough again, causing him to gently lower him with both hands to see his face. “You look sick, I am sorry you had to go through all of this.” He whispered to his son who also began to sneeze a few seconds later, while the cough was consistent.Reacting to the agitation inside him, Jason pulled out his phone from his pocket, and dialed the bodyguard’s number, placing the phone

“Don’t use that tone on me, boy!” “But he needs to be taken to see a Doctor, are you not going to do that?” Fiona was silent to Jason’s words, as it appeared she wasn’t even sure of what to do, and this increased the level of Jason’s anger and frustration. “Miss Fiona?” Jason called out to the lady who jolted from her confused thoughts and looked at him, making sure that the baby was balanced on her right shoulder. “Well, we better get going, now!” “Right, I am going, but I don’t think you should come with me, you won’t be needed there.” “What? Why would you even say that? He is my son!” “And he is my Grandson! Not like you are a capable man. I believe I am doing you a favor, you should be grateful for it and not acting like a chicken.” Fiona gave Jason a scowling look, but he was standing firmly on his unshaken resolve, making sure that there was no way he was going to let her take his son to the hospital alone. Fiona turned to her right and walked down the stairs w

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

The Viral News
The Butler remained silent for over ten seconds, but the stillness made Jason’s anxiety linger while he approached him with a curious expression on his face. “Harry? Is my Grandfather okay? Where is Henry?”“Lord Walker is fine. Nothing has happened to Ed to your son.” “Okay? So why the long face? What’s going on?” Jason was relieved that his greatest fear was not the reason for the Butler’s worrisome look, but he still needed to know what was happening. “We might have a little problem, Young Master.” “Problem? Talk to me, Harry! You are not saying anything!” Jason became a little bit impatient, and while he waited for a response, he went through his mind at once, thinking if anything that may have been the reason for yeh words from the middle-aged man. “Your parents, Young Master. They are on the news.” Harry said calmly, but his words made Jason confused while he looked at him with a bemused expression. “What the hell are you talking about, Harry? My parents are dead, y

Desperate Plea
The words from Jason hit Julius like a thunderbolt, and he was forced to keep quiet even though he never intended to. For a few seconds the middle-aged man remained calm, eyes on Jason who was waiting to be certain that he wasn’t going to say any other thing. “Good…” Jason sighed softly, and then he cleared his throat before he continued with a smirk on his face. “Now that I have your attention, I think it would be nice for us to get straight to the reason why I am here.” He paused for a few seconds just to be sure that Julius was paying attention, and continued when he was satisfied with the look on his face. “It’s very obvious that you deserve to be locked up forever, and the key thrown into the ocean, but unfortunately, you are still family. Now, I wonder what I am going to do with you, Julius. Trust me, I want to grab your neck with both hands and strangle you, but Grandpa…” Jason paused suddenly, and a heavy sigh left him. “Did the old man send you? Is he unable to hand
