The Rising Phoenix: Devisee’s escapade. The Proposal
Meredith took three steps backward in order to get away from the policeman, but he was faster and caught up with her in no time. “No! Please, let me go! I don’t know these people! I didn’t do anything!” She tried to free herself from the grip of the policeman, but before she could know it, her hands had already been cuffed behind her while she grunted with so much tension gripping her. “This way, madam. Please, go.” “Officer, wait. I didn’t do anything! I don’t know these people! Jason?” Meredith forced herself to a stop, and then she turned to look at Jason who stood still with his arms folded. “Please! Let me go! I will give you back your money! I still have some money left in my savings! I will pay the rest when I have it! I beg you, please!”“How, Meredith? How do you intend to pay back? We all know that you don’t have any job, you are only interested in living off a man. I think you deserve whatever is happening to you right now. Don’t worry, they won’t hurt you, but you
The Rising Phoenix: Devisee’s escapade. She is safe
Jason got into the car a few seconds before James, and as soon as James was about to turn on the ignition of the car after buckling his seatbelt, Jason received a call that made him take out his phone from his pocket. He looked at the screen of his phone, and the moment he saw that the call was from the same number with a hidden identity, he sighed and lifted his head to look at James who was already staring at him through the rearview mirror. “Hold on, James. I need to take this ball.” James nodded in response, and then he let go of the steering wheel while Jason answered the call at once before placing the phone on his right ear. Jason remained silent while he waited to hear what the caller at the other end was going to say. “Hi, Jason. How are you doing? I hope you haven’t been thinking about the last words I said to you when I called previously.” The familiar distorted voice said to Jason while he chose to remain silent no matter what. “Why are you silent, Jason? Does
The Rising Phoenix: Devisee’s escapade. Milo
Jason thought that the call he received was from the strange caller with a distorted voice, but when he saw who the caller was, he sighed softly before he answered the call. “Hello, Harry?”“Hello, Young Master. I have an important news!”“Shoot,” Jason said with a whisper while he began to walk out of the hospital after taking a glance at the hallway in front of him. “Milo, we found him,” Harry said from the other end of the line, and Jason paused almost immediately while he turned around to look at James who was walking behind him and stopped a few steps close to him. “You mean Mr. D’s right-hand man?”“Yes, Young Master. He is right here in our custody.”“Very good, Harry. That’s very good.” Jason nodded with so much excitement, forgetting that he was worried a few minutes earlier. He cleared his throat, pushed the door open, and walked out of the hospital while James followed him at once. They headed to the car immediately, but Jason stopped a few inches away from the
The Rising Phoenix: Devisee’s escapade. Yielded
Everyone went silent while they kept their eyes on Jason who refused to let go of his smile. He stared at Milo for a few seconds, and then he took a step closer to him. Milo’s breath shook, and he continued to look at Jason who stood a few inches in front of him. He could feel an intense tension creeping inside him, and his heartbeat became more aggressive with each passing moment. “I see what you tried to do there, Milo. You just tried to deny the fact that you didn’t give Mr. Chang and his friends the job to poison Lord Walker….” Jason said calmly, and when t the look on Milo’s face changed to confirm his words, he nodded in satisfaction. “There it is, the guilt that has exposed you. You know, Milo. We do not have full control of our emotions, especially when we find ourselves in very extreme situations such as this. Your Asian friends have already given us all the information we need, and I guess you still haven’t found out that we had them in our custody a while ago.”Milo
The Rising Phoenix: Devisee’s escapade. Dead old man
The look on Milo’s face showed so much reluctance to speak, and he remained mute while his breath was still unstable. He wanted to remain that way, but Jason and the guards behind him reminded him with hand gestures of what was going to happen if he didn’t do what he was asked to do. “Milo? What the hell is this? Did you call me to be mute like a dead man?”“I am sorry, Mr. D! I am so sorry!” Milo said with a shaky voice, staring at the screen of the phone while everyone remained calm. “What’s this all about? Out with it already!”“Okay! Okay!” Milo was about to say the words he was asked to say to his boss, but the thought of what could happen to him later made him stutter, and he remained quiet until James moved a step toward him with a ferocious look on his face. “What the hell, Milo? Did anything happen at the bunker?” “No! No, boss! The bunker is fine! Everything is fine!”“Then why the fuck did you call me? Huh?”“The old man! Yes! The old man! He is dead! We kille
The Rising Phoenix: Devisee’s escapade. Going as Planned
Jason felt a cringe in his legs, and he decided to sit down on his bed while he kept his phone on his right ear. “I take it that you have finally decided to be part of the Formidable officially, Albert!”“Yes, Mr. Hernandez! I am ready!” Jason retorted at once while he looked around him as though he was searching for something. “That’s great news, Albert! You should come, this is the perfect time for me to introduce you to the rest of us! You will meet Mr. D!”“Really?”“Yes, Albert! I have told you a lot about him and how you can really be beneficial to us, and I think he is hoping to meet you.” Philip said with a low tone while Jason nodded in satisfaction, glad that everything was working out naturally. “I am grateful for this opportunity, Mr. Hernandez, thank you so much for this!”“You don’t need to mention, Albert! I will send you a location at once, make sure you are here in less than two hours. I will make the introductions myself at the end of the meeting. Understoo
The Rising Phoenix: Devisee’s escapade. Mere Coincidence
Brenda walked into the room with her black box tightly held in her left hand. The look on her face wasn't as bright as always, and that was the first thing Jason noticed about her, but he decided to remain calm. “Hello, Lord Walker.” “Is that my future Granddaughter-in-law? Brenda dear! Come, come!” Lord Walker gestured to Brenda to hurry up with a smile which she managed to force herself to reciprocate. “How are you doing?” Brenda asked the old man who nodded with his smile intact and continued staring at her pleasantly. “I am just going to drop this here. Jay? Could you help me with that?” Brenda pointed at the glass of water on the stool while Jason quickly grabbed it with both hands, allowing her to drop her box before she quickly opened it. “Tell me, Lord Walker. Has there been any changes to your body? Anything unusual?” She brought out her stethoscope and inserted the earphones into her ears before moving closer to Lord Walker who couldn’t stop admiring her beauty.
The Rising Phoenix: Devisee’s escapade. Welcome to the Syndicate!
They spent over thirty minutes on the road, but Jason didn’t mind, as long as they were going to eventually get to their destination which was getting him closer to his plans. It was a hotel, one of the finest in the city, and from the look of things, there were not so many guests in the hotel as the cars parked outside the premises could be counted effortlessly without stress. “Thank you, James.” Jason said as soon as he got out of the car, and then he looked around the vicinity of the hotel for a few seconds before he sighed softly. As soon as he began to walk to the entrance of the hotel, Janes and the other guard followed him at once, and they moved slowly but steadily until they got to the hall after going through the elevator. On their way up, they met some men leaving the hotel, and without being told, Jason was certain that they were there for the meeting he was told about. “Albert! You are here right on time!” Philip Hernandez appeared from the hall alongside Larry Ba

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
