The Rising Phoenix: Devisee’s escapade. False Alarm
He got in at once, and James went into the driver’s seat after he had taken the car key from one of the bodyguards standing close by. James drove the car out of the premises, and through the long avenue of the Villa, until he arrived on the road, and in less than thirty minutes, they were able to beat the traffic and arrived at the hospital. Jason stepped down as soon as the car came to a stop, and rushed into the hospital, not minding the fact that he was exhausted, and felt very sticky. “Hi.” He waved at the nurses at the reception, and as soon as they recognized him, they exchanged glances at each other and smiled instantly. “Oh, Hello, Sir. You are back!” Said the one by the right, while her colleague continued to stare at Jason with a smile on her face. “Yes, I am back. My son?” “Oh, he is still at the ward.” “Ok. And his mother? The women who were here with me, where are they?” “They left sir. Not quite long after you were gone.” “Oh,” Jason mumbled with a look

He stayed with his son for almost an hour, before he decided to leave to go get some rest, hoping to come back the next day before he was going to be discharged. Slowly, he got up from his knees, while he was still looking at his son who remained still while his heart continued to beat gradually. “I will be back tomorrow, son.” He whispered to him and then planted a kiss on his forehead before he adjusted his clothes and walked out of the ward. He headed straight to the Doctor’s office and tapped on the door. “Please come in.” The Doctor said from inside his office, Jason opened the door and walked in at once. “Ah, Mr. Caruso. I hope everything is alright!?” The Doctor lifted his head from the desk and stared at Jason who was approaching the door. “Everything is fine, Doctor. I just wanted to ask for a favor.” Jason walked up to the desk and stood in front of the Doctor. “Please, have a seat. Tell me what you need.” The Doctor pointed to the chair in front of Jason, and he

“I think she wants to take your son away from you. She mentioned that you were incapable of being his father and that she didn't think you were ever going to be a worthy father to your son. Her mother also thinks that is the only way of getting you out of their lives. They think you are a curse.” Jason huffed. There were a lot of things he wanted to say, but he didn’t know where to begin. He looked at the Doctor for a few seconds, and then he leaned backward on his seat, blinking severally while his smile left instantly. “Unbelievable! I never knew Isabella could be so conniving and manipulative. What the hell have I gotten myself into?”“I am really sorry, Mr. Caruso. But I only told you this because it’s the right thing to do. I have two daughters, and I don’t know what would happen to me if any of them were to be taken away from me. I don’t think I would be able to live with the pain. I know how this feels, but I need you to calm down.” Jason looked at the Doctor for a while

“Thank you so much, Doctor.”“Well, I really hope I am doing the right thing.” The Doctor responded as soon as Jason stood up to give him a handshake. “I assure you, you are doing the right thing. I promise you won’t regret this.” Jason shook hands with the Doctor and left his office with a smile on his face. “Isabella would never give up, I wonder what else she is planning apart from this. Who knows how she intends to keep Henry without me knowing?” Jason continued to harbor the thoughts in his mind until he got out of the hospital. The nurses were so busy attending to patients that they barely noticed him. He got into the car at once and sighed heavily, while James glanced at him through the rearview mirror. “I am so sorry for taking a lot of time, James.” “Oh, that’s okay, Young Master. It was relaxing sitting for a while, I had been standing for several hours.” “Right. Let’s go home.” Jason pulled out the seatbelt by his right, strapped it on, and then buckled it up a

He went to the dining hall after making use of the Elevator, then he sat on a sea at the end of the table and looked at the things the chefs had set. He was still staring at the food on the table when Harry walked in with Rose following behind her with her eyes savoring the entire place as if she was trying to be careful not to get shot at. “Oh, Rose! You are here. Please, come.” Jason gestured to her with his right hand, pinging to the chair by his right. “Please, have a seat.” He said with a calm tone while maintaining a smile on his face. Rose hesitated for a while, but Harry urged her to with his eyes, and she reluctantly went to the seat, and sat down slowly, then she adjusted the black gown she was given to wear. “Thank you, Harry,” Jason said to Harry who nodded and then walked away slowly. Jason turned his face to Rose who looked away at once, as she didn’t want Jason to know that she had been stealing glances at him. With a smile on his face, Jason sighed softly

“She never told us her name, we addressed her as the baroness, that was what the men she came with called her. The Baroness.” “The Baroness?” Jason said with a whisper, wondering who could have such a name. He thought about it for a while, and then he sighed and turned to look at Rose who was still in a sad mood. “Look, Rose. I know you have had a lot of bad experiences, but I am really not going to hurt you, I promise.” Jason continued to look at Rose who stared at him for a while, struggling to believe his words.“Then why did you buy me? You must have given them a huge amount right? That’s the only way they let you have me. The Baroness said we were only going to leave to our new owners if we were able to make her ten times the amount she spent on us. So, why did you buy me?” “I didn’t okay? I mean, I didn’t even know what was going on.” “Lies, the short man told me my new owner had paid for me, he said you paid a huge amount, and that I was free to go.” “Believe me, Ros

“We got a job in one of the factories in the town, where we helped to package the goods they made before shipping. The pay wasn’t enough, but we were okay with it, as long as it was able to feed us.” Rose paused for a few seconds, and then she cleared her throat twice, with her eyes seeming like they were about to let down more tears. She blinked severally in an attempt to stop the tears from flowing, and it worked for her. “Everything was going fine until the Baroness met us on our way home, and offered to help us. She promised to take us out of the streets and make sure our lives changed for the better. I had always wanted to become an artist, and I felt it was an opportunity for me to attend art school.” Rose had a smile on her face the moment she started to speak of her dream of going to art school. Jason could see that she really desired to fulfill her dreams, but her smile vanished abruptly a few seconds later, and she returned her sad face. “Nadia always wanted to be a

He stared at the screen for a few seconds and then moved by impulse, he slowly dragged the icon on the screen to the right and answered the call. He placed the phone on his left ear and remained silent. “Hello? Mr. Caruso. This is Doctor Melvin.” Said the familiar male voice from the other end of the line, causing Jason to readjust himself instantly.“Oh, Doctor. How are you?” “I am good, Sir. I have something to tell you.” “Oh. Just a moment. Hold on.” Jason looked at Rose, and then he got up from the seat and walked to a corner of the dining hall with her eyes trailing him until he got to a spot that was almost close to the door. Jason looked around to be sure that no one was around or coming, and then he sighed softly. “Go ahead, Doctor. I am listening.” “Yes. As suspected, Isabella called me to ask if I had thought about her request, and was ready to give her a response…” “Okay?” Jason said as soon as he noticed that the Doctor was silent, probably because he want
