The Rising Phoenix: Devisee’s escapade. Memories
Jason looked at Annie trying to recall if he could remember her but as much as the face looked a little but familiar, he wasn’t still able to remember. “Come on babe, let’s go. We have an appointment to catch.” Richard said trying to extend his hands towards Annie. “No babe. Wait, this is truly him.” “Who the hell are you talking about?” Richard asked looking to see if he could be able to remember who his fiancee was talking about. “The Live-in-Son-in-law of the Palmers. Or should I say, the ex husband to Isabella Palmer? She really was lucky to have chased you off.” Annie scoffed, then she looked at Jason with so much disdain rolling her eyes at him. “Babe? This is Jason? The same man that was stupid enough to pour a drink on you?” “Yes babe. This is the pathetic lunatic. I kept on wondering what Isabella even saw in him.” Annie replied Richard still looking at Jason with so much contempt. As soon as Jason heard the words Annie spoke, he started to join the dots toget
The Rising Phoenix: Devisee’s escapade. Intense!
“What!” Jason’s eyes glared in shock at the words that came out of Richard’s mouth. Betty as well looked very shocked to hear the ridiculous request of the pesky man. “Yes. That’s what I want, you have to kneel and apologize. Saying it is not enough.” Annie said in support of her fiancé. “You can’t be serious. You expect me to kneel before you and apologize, are you a goddess ?” “Well to you I am a goddess and you will do just that, now kneel!” Annie said with an imperative voice but her words only made Jason get really upset. “You sound really so galling right now, I can’t believe I would be here listening to all these things that you are saying.” Jason said looking at the couple who continued to glare at him in a disparage. “I think I have had enough of this mess. Please pack up these items, I need to get out of this place.” Jason concluded with a firm voice as his anger started to rise gradually above the air. Betty didn’t say a word, instead she did as Jason instr

Betty’s heart almost flew out of her chest as soon as she heard the words that the pesky man, but that seemed to be the beginning of her anxiety. “I have a complaint to make.” Richard continued with a deep angry tone as the determination to deal with Jason was clearly written on his face. “Yes, I came here to shop, only for a customer to insult me. Even the cashier was so rude to me. I am angry right now. Very angry!” Between Betty and Jason, she seemed like the only one who was having a really tough time getting a hold of herself. He breath was laced with so much panic. “I have lost this job finally.” She whispered only to the hearing of herself. At that moment, she started to doubt if she truly did the right thing by trying to do the right thing. “I am such a dummy! How did the think this was going to end?”“I won’t come here to shop again and neither will my fiancee or any person I know if you don’t do anything about this. I will make sure I tarnish the image of this place
The Rising Phoenix: Devisee’s escapade. On the Edge
The bodyguards were forced to stop almost immediately as they heard the resounded roar of the man in rumpled cloths but with a thundering voice. “Who the hell are you to tell my bodyguards what to do?” Mr Fin questioned Jason with so much contempt in his eyes. “If you are to find out who I am, I bet you would have a proper rethink. Is this how you manage this place? Giving preferential treatment to only the rich while you neglect the poor.” Jason was furious and ready to act, gently he walked over to the counter and dropped the bags he had been carrying. “What’s really happening?” Diana asked but her boyfriend didn’t have any response. The entire persons around the counter were taken over by the aura that exhumed from Jason and as much as Richard didn’t want to admit, he too was taken aback by his words. “Are you really going to stand there and listen to this fool Mr Finn?” Richard questioned the manager as he seemed to be taken over by Jason’s demeanor as he stood cold st
The Rising Phoenix: Devisee’s escapade. Let Down
Jason chuckled a bit, then he pulled out his phone and operated on it for a few seconds, then he put it back into his pocket and cleared his throat twice without saying a word. He patiently was waiting to hear what Richard was going to say to the caller at the other end of the line. “Hello Mr Blackwell. This is Richard Davis, the manager of Emirate Enterprises. We met at the gulf club few weeks ago.” “Yes, good to speak to you to.” Richard said again with a boastful confidence on his face as he waited to hear what the man he was speaking to was saying. “Yes, I came to get a few things at your shopping mall but I was rudely embarrassed by the cashier and a dirty customer and when I reported this to your manager, he refused to do anything about it.” Betty gasped in shock as she struggled to keep her mouth from letting out the shout which had already gathered up on her lips. She couldn’t believe that Richard was going to go that far just to prove a point. “I didn’t know most r
The Rising Phoenix: Devisee’s escapade. Waterloo
The attention of everyone around moved to Jason who spoke audibly in such a way that everyone could hear him. “Oh I see that’s perfect. I want him out of that position with immediate effect. Draft his elimination letter and send to his email immediately.” Jason’s face brightened more, he looked at Richard and nodded with great satisfaction while everyone watched to see what he was doing. “Don’t worry, I will speak to Grandpa.” Jason said few seconds after he had listened to what Harry had to say from the other end of the line. “Hmm, that will be all for now. Bye.” Jason ended the call and chuckled, then he turned to Richard and nodded again. “You just fell into my trap and like I promised you, you definitely will meet your Waterloo.” “You! I will make sure I hunt you down. This isn’t over yet.” “Well it will be soon and with you begging on your knees.” Jason retorted with a smirk in response to what Richard said. He was definitely filled with so much confidence
The Rising Phoenix: Devisee’s escapade. Confronted
As soon as he came out of the car, Jason handed over a hundred over a hundred dollar note to the driver and stormed off as usual towards the Palmer Residence with the two bags in his hands. “I hope Henry is not awake, he must be really hungry by now.” He said as he hastily strides through the driveway leading to the mansion. His breath running faster along with his steps. In less than ten minutes, he had already gotten into the mansion and made his way towards the staircase in his hastened steps. “There he is, that’s the stupid bastard!” Came the resounding statement from the female voice, causing Jason to turn almost immediately as he had taken only a step upwards. “What the heck did you do to my brothers and Maya?” Sarah’s voice echoed alongside the stern looks from her bloodshot eyes, she was out to unleash her fury. “Good day to you Sarah. How have you been?” Jason said with a smirk on his face. In order not to lose balance, he had to take down his right leg from the fi
The Rising Phoenix: Devisee’s escapade. Panic
“You are not going to watch him disrespect you in that manner and walk away just like that are you?” Sarah said few seconds after Jason made his way upwards with the eyes following him, but her husband had no response to give. “Philip? Can’t you hear me?” “Don’t worry babe, I will handle this.” “But he just walked out on you.” Sarah said insistently pointing at Jason who was almost out of sight. “I said I will handle it.” Philip said in a little harsh tone to his wife, making her to groan in frustration. Jason walked right to the apartment he shared with his wife and widened the door to the room which was halfway open. There on the bed was Isabella snoring away in her sleep under the influence of alcohol. The entire room reeked of the stench of whiskey and vodka. “Henry?” Jason whispered as he hurriedly moved over to the cradle at the corner of the room only to discover that his son was not there. “Where could he be?” He thought to himself, then he gently moved over

Marry me
It had been a month since Julius was brought out of prison, and everything was going as everyone had hoped for. He had been of good conduct, keeping to the conditions that were given to him by Jason. But that didn’t mean that any chances could be taken with him. His reputation as a notorious criminal who had claimed lives made it quite difficult to trust him. The fact that he had been exonerated from the guilt of his actions was too much grade for him, and it would have been foolish of him to let it go to waste. He had spent the entire month begging for Shirley’s forgiveness, but she kept her distance, maintaining a mutual relationship with him which was based on the fact that they had a child together. Xavier on the other hand was old enough to understand that sometimes things don’t always go the way we want them. Even though he wished that his parents could be together someday, he also knew that his mother was only trying to be safe. She didn’t want to have to repeat the sam
Conditional Freedom
Days turned to weeks, and then to a month. Jason fulfilled his promise to Xavier and made sure he went to one of the best schools in the city. He knew that the boy still thought about his father even though he stopped talking about him, probably because his mind was occupied with school assignments, and some of the things Jason got him involved in just to make sure he stayed away from silly acts. Seated with Lord Walker, Jason waited patiently for the old man to speak, aware of what was about to be heard. “Jack?” Lord Walker leaned forward before he continued. “I know that Julius isn’t particularly the best Uncle in the entire world, but he is still family. I know that this is a very difficult decision for you to make. But you have to do this for the sake of the boy…” Lord Walker paused for a few seconds just to be certain that Jason was listening to him. He sighed softly and continued with a more audible tone. “Keeping him there way cause be painful for the boy even thoug
Reunion
Standing in front of Jason was Clark, the same best friend who turned out to be one of his enemies. He had lost his charm and confidence and almost looked like a better. He couldn’t even look at Jason for more than a few seconds before he bent his face to the ground in shame. It appeared that his outfit was oversized, but that was only proof that he had lost a lot of weight. “Why are you here, Clark? I am sure you didn’t just come to stare at me.” Jason broke the silence between them, staring at Clark with a smirk on his face. Brenda would have asked a few questions, but as soon as Jason mentioned the name of the man standing in front of them, she remembered some of the stories he told him about how his best friend betrayed him and went after his wife. She was only interested to know why Clark was there. “I am here to ask for your forgiveness, Jason. I also want to appreciate you for getting me out of jail.” Clark managed to say with a shaky tone. He couldn’t even look at Ja
I am Pregnant!
It had been three days since Xavier and his mother pleaded that Julius be set free but nothing had been done about it. Jason was taking his time to make a decision about his step-uncle’s fate. It seemed like it was going to take more time before he could be able to come t a conclusion. Lord Walker himself was wondering why Jason had not said anything about it, but he also knew that he was worried about his safety. After seeing and hearing what Julius was capable of, Jason had no other option than to keep the decision pending until he was done with some of the plans he had in mind. First, he enrolled Xavier in high school. He attended one of the best schools in Granada Hills, and the goal was to make sure that the young man didn’t need up on the streets ever again. Shirley on the other hand was going through a rehabilitation process. She was made to speak to someone and undergo struct measures of check which were often conducted to make sure she didn’t go back to her old habi
Release Him
The next day, it was finally time to bring back Lord Walker from the hospital after his recovery. Jason went together with the Butler, Brenda, and Xavier who insisted that he was going to go with them. Not only was he eager to see his mother, but he also wanted to see his Grandfather who almost sacrificed himself for his sake. By the time they arrived at the hospital, the old man was already seated on the bed while one of the nurses attending to him handed him over his drugs and a glass of water. “Thank you, my dear.” He said to the nurse as soon as he was done with his medication while he handed over the empty glass to her. He turned to his visitors and the brightness of his face increased at once, causing him to gesture to them at once. “I know what you are about to say, Jack…” He shook his head, but that wasn’t going to stop Jason from expressing himself. “That was really silly, Grandpa! You almost got yourself killed!” Jason walked up to the old man ahead of the other
Retribution
Xavier hesitated for a while, but he eventually mustered the guts to move. “Go ahead.” Jason urged him as soon as he took the first steps, and he continued moving, eyes on his father who was shocked to see him. Julius could tell that Xavier was truly his son, he didn’t think he needed any DNA to prove that. The resemblance was alarming, and the fact that the boy reminded him of himself when he was about the same age was enough. But he didn’t seem like he was the proudest father at that moment. He was glad that he had been given the opportunity to see his son, but he was equally ashamed of himself. Unable to get closer to the iron bars, he stood where he was, waiting patiently for Xavier to get closer to him. The boy stood in front of his father, staring at him without knowing what exactly he was supposed to say at that moment. The reunion wasn’t as pleasant as he had expected it to be. Father and son remained for over a minute, but their eyes said a lot to each other while
His Father
With their panic rising, Jason and Brenda paced along the hallway, waiting for anyone to come out of the theater. It had gotten so long that Jason had to send for Cara who came along with some guards to take Henry back to the Villa while they continued waiting anxiously. Eventually, the Doctor came out of the theater dripping with sweatballs that ran down his face. “Doctor?! What’s going on?” Jason asked anxiously, but instead of giving him a response, the Doctor moved to Brenda and whispered some words into her ear, making sure that Jason wasn’t going to hear their conversation. Brenda responded with a whisper as well before the Doctor nodded and hurried back to the theater without saying a word to Jason whom he only stared at while he expected him to say something. “Why didn’t he say anything to me?! What did he say, babe? Talk to me!” Jason moved closer to Brenda who looked like she didn’t know how to tell him what the Doctor whispered into her ear. “Brenda?” Jason call
Seizure
Brenda was silent for a while, but Jason was patient enough to wait for a response to his question. Firstly, she grabbed Henry from Jason and made sure he was sitting comfortably on her legs. She took in a deep breath which she let out slowly before she turned to look at Jason. “I am listening, Brenda. What were you guys discussing back there?”“Nothing really. Just girls’ talk.” “Okay?” Jason featured with both hands, indicating that he wanted to hear more details about their discussion. “I thought you said you were not so much interested in her, Jay. Why bothering to ask what we were discussing?”“Me? When did I say that?”“Well, you implied it.” Brenda shrugged, looking at Jason with a smirk on her face. “Just tell me what you guys were talking about back there, Brenda. She could have said something that needs to be verified by me. No other person knows her like I do.” Jason insisted. “Okay, fine.” Brenda sighed. “I was just worried about the way she looked, that’s
Motherhood
The sight of his ex-wife made Jason sigh, his previous countenance gave way for a frown that appeared as he stared at Isabella who managed to push the two guards aside because they let her do so. But they went after her and grabbed her at once, restraining her efforts to get close to Jason or her son. “Jason! Tell them to let me go! Let me go! Let me go!” Isabella continued to struggle with the guards, but she eventually got tired, panting in exhaustion while Jason and Brenda watched her with a little surprised written all over their faces. Henry recognized his biological mother, but it didn’t look like he was really concerned or excited to see her. He just stared at her as though he was trying to recall where he met her. “Tell them to let me go, Jason! Please.” Isabella pleaded, but Jason wasn’t really interested in the words that she uttered. What made him curious was the fact that she looked very unkempt and malnourished. It had been a few weeks since he last saw her, and h
