The Rising Phoenix: Devisee’s escapade. Just three Months
Lord Walker took another sip from his cup of coffee, and afterward, he dropped it on the saucer and cleared his throat to draw the attention of Jason who was staring at the door with a smile on his face. “Whatever you are about to say, Grandpa, I don’t think I am interested…” “But you haven’t even allowed me to talk, Jack.”“That’s because I know what you are about to say.” Jason retorted with a tone laced with so much certainty while he looked at the old man with a smirk on his face. Lord Walker sighed heavily, and then he pointed to the chair in front of him with his index finger. “Take a seat, Jack.” “Grandpa, not this topic again.”“Just take a seat. I need you to listen to what I have to say. I am certain that it’s going to make sense to you. Just take a seat.” Lord Walker urged Jason with a bright smile on his face while his eyes showed signs of deep concern. Left with no choice, Jason took in a deep breath, and after he had exhaled sharply, he moved toward the sea
The Rising Phoenix: Devisee’s escapade. Panic Attack
Seeing the Butler in so much panic, Jason was forced to stand up immediately from his seat while he looked at him walking slowly into the room with the tension on his face still intact. “What is it, Harry? What’s the emergency?” Jason asked at once while Lord Walker waited anxiously to hear what the Butler was going to say. For a few seconds, Harry was busy with his attempts to catch his breath, but the other men in the room had become very impatient, and they couldn’t wait much longer to hear what he was going to say. “Speak, Harry! What is it?” “I am sorry, Lord Walker! But it’s Julian! He is out of Prison!” “What?” Lord Walker gasped in shock, and because he couldn’t handle the situation so well as a result of his body which was still recovering, he went into a panic attack. “Grandpa! Are you okay?” Jason quickly rushed to grab him before he could fall off his wheelchair. “Lord Walker? Lord Walker!” Harry hurried toward the old man at once, but Jason was already stand
The Rising Phoenix: Devisee’s escapade. First Word
For a few seconds, the Butler was silent while Jason kept his eyes on him, waiting to get a response to his question. Harry remained silent for a while, but Jason could tell from his countenance that it was really going to be difficult for him to give him a response, and even if he did, he wasn’t going to like the response. “Harry? Say something.” “I am truly sorry, Young Master. But I think it would be best you hear the response from your Grandfather. I hope you understand.” The Butler’s voice was very calm while he bowed halfway with his hands clasped in front of him. Jason stared at him for a few seconds, and then he let out a soft smile which was followed by a nod. “It’s fine, Harry. I totally understand.” “Thank you for your understanding, Young Master.” Harry bowed again while Jason turned his face away from him to look at Lord Walker who had already fallen asleep, and his breath returned to normal. “I think we should let him sleep now. Maybe we will come back at n
The Rising Phoenix: Devisee’s escapade. Unexpected caller
UNEXPECTED CALLER For a few seconds, Jason admired the beautiful outfit Rose had on. He looked at her with a smile while she had her eyes on the baby just like the chef who walked in a few seconds later. “You look lovely in that dress.” Jason complimented, smiling at Rose who looked at herself as though she didn’t know the color of the dress she was putting on. “Thanks.” She said with a whisper, and then she returned her gaze to the baby whose focus was still on the show he was watching. A few seconds later, Jason’s phone began to ring, and he looked at the screen to see who was calling while Henry whimpered because the call had obstructed what he was watching. “I am sorry, Henry. I have to take that call.” Jason slowly grabbed his phone from the table, and then he stood up from the seat while carrying the child on his right shoulder. “May I?” Rose offered to help with an exciting smile on her face while Jason stared at him for a few seconds before he nodded and handed her

For over ten seconds, Jason waited to hear a response from Rose, but she remained silent, her eyes saying a lot of things and her lips slightly separated from each other. “You know you are going to have to talk to me, Rose. That’s the only way I am going to be able to know what is wrong with you.” Jason said calmly, still staring at Rose who sighed softly with her eyes looking at him. “I miss her.” She said with a tone laced with so much despair, she blinked severally in order not to let out some of the tears that were gathered up in her eyes, ready to trickle down her face. Jason sighed softly after confirming the reason behind Rose’s gloomy face. He had already figured that she had been thinking about her missing sister but wanted to be certain that he was correct. “Listen to me, Rose…” He lifted Henry who was attempting to grab his phone from the table, and then he placed him on his shoulder, patting him on the back while he kept his eyes on Rose. “I made a promise to you
The Rising Phoenix: Devisee’s escapade. Joke Of the Century
Jason stared at Rose who pleaded to carry the baby, and he gently handed him over to her while she smiled at once, discarding the previous look on her face. “Careful so that you don’t wake him.” Jason grabbed his phone from the dining table while he watched Rose and the baby. “Yeah,” Rose whispered as she gently carried who cooed while he slept. She placed him on her shoulder, and then she turned toward the exit of the dining hall while Jason started to walk toward the exit as well. “Come with me,” Jason said with a voice a little above a whisper while he went ahead of her. He ascended the stairs, and then he walked through the hallway, giving Rose a short distance while they headed to Henry’s room. He opened the door the moment he grabbed the handle, and then he left the way for Rose to walk in slowly while she carefully held onto the baby with both hands. “That way,” Jason whispered, pointing at Henry’s cradle which was positioned by a corner of the room, and Rose quickl
The Rising Phoenix: Devisee’s escapade. Hobbies
Jason stepped aside at once while Rose walked out of the room and shut the door behind her. She had a bright smile on her face while she looked at him. “Thank you for bringing him upstairs with me.” “It’s nothing, your son is so adorable. Anyone would definitely want to carry him.” Rose retorted at once, nodding to affirm her words while Jason smiled at her. For a few seconds, none of them said a word to each other while Rose stood in front of the door looking at the floor as though she was searching for something. “Do you have something that you do? I mean, do you have any hobbies?” Rose discarded the silence, her tone almost sounded like a whisper, but it was audible enough for Jason to hear. “Hobby?”“Yes, hobby. You know? Like playing tennis, fishing, gaming, or even eating.”“Eating! That’s so funny.” Jason chuckled at once, his eyes still staring at Rose who was glad that she was able to tickle his fancy. “Yeah, I suppose you haven’t met anyone whose hobby is eatin

The road that led to the mall was free with just a few cars driving through it, and in less than twenty minutes they arrived at the mall which had a multitude of cars parked in front of it. “We are here.“ Jason announced while Rose was busy looking out through the window beside her. She eventually turned to look at Jason who gestured to her to unbuckle her seat belt which she did almost immediately after struggling with it for a few seconds. “Let me help you with that…” Jason extended his hands toward Rose when he realized that he was finding it a bit difficult to unbuckle the seatbelt, but before he could get to her, she was able to unbuckle it. “Alright, shall we?” “Yes, I can't wait.” Rose nodded excitedly, looking at the talk building in front of them which had several people tripping in and out of it. “Let’s go.” Jason quickly opened his door and alighted from the door while he rushed to the other door and opened it for Rose as well.“Thank you.” Rose chuckled as she j

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
