The Rising Phoenix: Devisee’s escapade. Inveigle
Irene was hesitant to respond to the question, but after a few seconds, she turned around without looking at anybody in particular. “Me, Sir. I am also a chef here.” The young man who Irene was standing beside said, lifting both his right hand and his face. “Oh, I see. Come forward.” Jason said, and the man stepped forward immediately and stood beside Irene. They exchanged glances at each other, and it was really easy to tell that there was a rivalry between them. “What’s your name, Young man?” “Joe, Sir. My name is Joe,” he responded with a very audible tone, lifting his head to look at Jason for a few seconds, before returning it to its previous position. “Well, Joe, how long have you been cooking here?” Joe sighed heavily, and then he looked at Irene whose face was bent to the ground, before giving an answer to the question. “Three years and four months, Sir.” Jason nodded with a smile on his face, having understood what was really going on between them. “I see, t

Jason sighed with a smile on his face, and then he went to a couch positioned very close to the wall by his left and sat down, while the rest of the workers in the lobby looked at him, wondering what he was really up to. He brought out his phone a few seconds later and started to operate on it, chuckling at whatever amused him on social media. He continued, for over thirty minutes, until Irene returned with a large tray containing a plate covered with a dish cover.“Aha! That was really fast!” Jason said with a smile on his face, the moment he saw Irene approaching, he returned his phone to his pocket and adjusted himself, while still smiling at the young lady who felt so pleased at what he did.Irene walked up to the middle of the lobby, to grab a stool, but she struggled to bend as a result of the long tray in her hand. “Don’t worry, I will get that for you,” Jason said, and he stood up, and grabbed the stool, before taking it to the front of the couch where he placed it, befo

Irene whimpered, it felt as though her life was about to end, she turned to look at the bodyguards, and it seemed as though they were waiting for the command to beat her to death. This sight made her swallow hard saliva, as she tried to control her shaking hands, by clamping them together. “I…I…I am sorry, Sir! I was forced to do it!” Irene said after much stuttering, getting down on her knees immediately, as tears rolled down her eyes. “They have my son! They have my son! They promised to kill him if I didn’t do as they wanted.” Jason turned to look at Harry for a few seconds, and then he returned his gaze to Irene who looked as though she was about to pass out on the floor. “You really have to believe me, Sir. You have to believe me, I am telling the truth.” Irene said amidst the tears that left her glands, but Jason said nothing to her, he only looked at the rest of the workers for a while, as they stared at Irene with unbelievable gestures, wondering what was actually goin
The Rising Phoenix: Devisee’s escapade. Distorted
Irene gasped, with a frightful look that showed that she was really scared to call them. “What are you waiting for? Didn’t you hear him?” “I can’t! I can’t call them!” Irene said in response to Harry’s utterance, causing him to look at her with so much curiosity. “They instructed that I never call them for any reason, even if I wanted to speak to my son. I was only allowed to speak to him once in three days.” Irene said with a shaky tone, trying so hard not to let the phone in her hands fall to the ground. Jason thought about what she said, but he seemed not to be so convinced about their decision, and the desire to know who was trying to kill his Grandfather made him so eager to know who they were. He sighed, turned to Harry, and then returned his gaze to Irene who was hopeful that were words were really convincing.“You have to call them, that’s the only way you prove your innocence.” “But..” “Didn’t you hear the Young Master? Do as he says!” Harry commanded immediately

Jason dialed a number, and placed the phone on his left ear, waiting anxiously to hear a voice. “Hello, Kelvin?” Jason said, and then he waited to confirm from the person on the other side of the line. As soon as he heard what he responded, Jason nodded in satisfaction. “I have a job for you.” “Good,” Jason said after a few seconds of listening to what Kelvin was going to say from the other side of the line. “Send me your location, now. I will send someone to pick you up, and remember to come with everything that you need.” Jason said, and then he ended the call almost immediately, “Harry?” “Yes, Young Master,” Harry said at once, looking at Jason who seemed calm amidst the tension in the ambiance. Jason sighed, and then he cleared his throat twice, before saying what he wanted to say. “I need a driver and a car to pick up someone.” “Ok, Young Master,” Harry said, and then he turned to one of the bodyguards beside him and whispered some words into his ear. The bodygu

“Very fast, Sir,” Kelvin replied with a confident smile on his face, causing Jason to nod in satisfaction, with a smile as well. “Good, very good. Now let’s get right to it, what do you need?” He asked Kelvin who sighed heavily and then turned to his right and saw a stool by the corner. “That.” He said with a soft voice, pointing at the end stool, and immediately, one of the bodyguards grabbed the stool and brought it to him. Kelvin sat down on the couch very close to the stool, and then he dragged it closer, while the eyes of everyone in the room remained fixed on him. Making sure that the stool was in a comfortable position, Kelvin unzipped his bag and brought out his black sizable laptop which he placed on the table, and turned to face Jason. “Can I have the mobile phone, please?” “Hand it over to him,” Jason said, turning to face Irene with an obvious expression, making her get up from her sitting position on the floor, but at a slow pace, while Kelvin turned to look a

There was a long period of silence in the lobby, but that didn’t stop Irene’s heart from pounding vigorously against her ribs. She was really afraid for her son’s safety and didn't even care much about herself. “Sir?” Kelvin said with a low tone, raising his right hand as though he was about to seek permission before speaking. “Yes, Kelvin, what is it?” Jason responded with a smile on his face but for a few seconds, Kelvin relented in saying the words in his mind. He looked at Harry who refused to take off his eyes from him, and taking in enough air, he let it out slowly. “I need to go now, Sir. My wife needs me.” “Oh, that’s right, how is she? And the babies?” Jason asked with a smile on his face, but Kelvin took a while to respond after he had taken one sneaky look at Harry whose countenance seemed really scary. “They are fine, Sir,” Kelvin responded with a low but audible tone, causing Jason to nod, while still maintaining his smile. “Very well, then. Harry here will ma
The Rising Phoenix: Devisee’s escapade. The Warehouse
Jason felt a great relief as soon as those words from Harry’s mouth hit his ears, but not as much as Irene who felt the tension in her body leaving her gradually, as she looked at Harry, gasping at the feeling in her. “We leave at once, Harry.” “Yes, Young Master,” Harry responded with a slight bow and was about to turn toward the exit of the lobby when a thought came to his mind, causing him to stop and turn to Jason. “What do we do about them?” He asked, pointing at the two ladies. Jason looked at them for a few seconds, and as usual, they bent their faces when they saw that he was about to look at them. “They will remain here until we are back. Get some of the men outside to be with them and make sure they don’t leave.” “Please, Sir. My son, I need to see him.” Irene said with a shaky tone, looking at Jason, as tears trickled down her face. Jason looked at her for a few seconds, trying to deal with the feelings inside of him, one urged him to oblige her, and the other

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
