The Rising Phoenix: Devisee’s escapade. Hindrance
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

“What is this?” Fiona asked as though she didn't know what a car looked like, staring at the black Porsche in front of her, while she held onto the baby. “He will take us to the hospital, we must hurry now,” Jason said amidst the anxiousness in him regarding his son’s health, but Fiona didn't seem like she was ready to budge. “Whose car is this?” Charmed by the beauty of the black sleek car, Fiona made inquisitive stares, as her thoughts assured her that there was no way the car belonged to Jason. “It’s for a friend.” “What friend? I don't know any other friend of yours, apart from Clark.” “Well, like you said, you don't know this friend.” Fiona scoffed, and then she took a careful look at the car, while Jason waited anxiously for her to move. “Please, hurry! We need to get to the hospital as soon as we can.” “Don’t try to rush me, for all I know, this car could be stolen, or probably belong to someone dangerous, and I don’t want to be involved with such.” “I assur
The Rising Phoenix: Devisee’s escapade. Almost Pneumonia
“Let’s go!” Jason said to Fiona, and they got out of the vehicle at once, walking into the hospital as fast as their legs could carry them. Jason continued to look at his son while Fiona carried him through the hallway of the hospital, just before they arrived at the reception there were two nurses seated in their blue uniforms. “Hi.” “We need to see a Doctor, now!” Fiona said to the nurse at the right corner, ignoring her smile and greeting, but the nurse was very polite and pointed her toward the emergency room by the right corner, down another hallway. She looked at the toddler in her arms while she was pointing in that direction, and realized that he looked like he was sick and needed medical attention. “This way, please.” She said with a soft tone, and Fiona left at once without saying another word. “Thank you,” Jason said to the nurse and joined Fiona, while the nurse responded with a slight nod, but that didn’t stop her from wondering how ill-mannered Fiona was. “

“Very well then, I hope she gets here soon.” The Doctor said to Fiona, and then he turned to look at Jason whose countenance refused to change. “What could be going on between these two?” He asked as he continued to observe them closely, stealing glances at them. A few minutes later, the nurse returned with a large metal tray full of some medications for the baby, which she kept on the table close to the stretcher. She carried the baby gently and placed him on the bed in a corner of the room, while the rest of the people in the room watched her with keen attention. A few seconds later, Jason walked up to the bed and watched as the nurse ran some tests on the baby, before going ahead to administer some medications to him. At first, the toddler cried, but he soon fell asleep, and the nurse covered him properly with a white bedspread. “Please, can we go to my office? I would like to give you some documents to sign.” The Doctor said to both Fiona and Jason, as he took turns look

Fiona got up as soon as she said those words to the Doctor, and answered the call, placing the phone on her right ear as she walked out of the office. “Hello, Bella Dear…” Jason took a glance at her as she walked away, unable to say any word, even though he had a lot on his mind. He eventually turned to look at the Doctor whose attention was focused on the file on the table. “Thank you very much, Doctor. I appreciate your efforts.” “You are welcome, Mr…?” “Caruso, Doctor. Jason Caruso.” “Right. Mr. Caruso. May I ask you a personal question?” The Doctor asked politely, unsure of what Jason’s response was going to be, and as he expected, Jason thought about it for a while, before giving a response. “Yeah, sure.” “Alright…” The Doctor sighed heavily, and then he cleared his throat, while Jason waited to hear what his question was going to be. “Doesn’t your son stay with you? I mean, does he stay with his Grandmother?” “Oh no, Doctor. I and his mother are divorced…”
The Rising Phoenix: Devisee’s escapade. The Bill
Jason chuckled at Isabella’s words, but she wasn’t done talking, as she felt he embarrassed him in front of the Doctor, even though she wasn’t sure of the things he said to him. “What’s so funny? Huh? Is that your way of running away from paying the medical bills? Why don’t you handle it, if you are a man?” “That’'s enough, Isabella! Stop it right there…”“Or what? What are you going to do if I don't stop? You pathetic loser! You think you are the best father, just because you come every day to see your son. But that's only because you are a jobless good-for-nothing man.” Jason scoffed at Isabella’s words, and then he looked at her, and then at Fiona with a smirk on his face, while they continued to give him looks of disdain. “Stop, Isabella. You are causing a scene, there is no need for all of this. What we should be focused on right now is our son’s health. I am surprised you still have enough energy to fight me, after everything that has happened. Our son is out there stru
The Rising Phoenix: Devisee’s escapade. To the Rescue
Jason was shocked to see Doctor Brenda walking toward him with a smile on her face. She had a lovely velvet red gown on and sauntered on black heels. With her arms so read, she walked to Jason, and wrapped her arms around him, giving him a kiss on the right cheek, while she held onto his waist. “What are you doing here, babe? You didn’t tell me you were coming to the hospital.” Brenda said, looking at Jason whom she had rendered very speechless. “Who the hell is she?” Isabella whispered to the hearing of her mother, but the middle-aged woman was as dumbfounded as she was, staring at the beautiful lady in a red gown without having any particular thought to hold onto. Jason looked at Isabella and Fiona, and realizing that they had an astonished look on their faces, he decided that he was going to play along. He cleared his throat at once, and looked into Brenda’s eyes without blinking, while she winked at him, as an invitation to play along. “I am sorry babe, you were sleepi

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
