The Rising Phoenix: Devisee’s escapade. Hush
“No problem at all, I am hod I could help. Let me see you off,” Brenda replied with a smile, and then she turned toward the door behind Jason and started walking toward it slowly, Jason followed her almost immediately, and they walked out of the hospital with the nurse looking at them with a bright smile on her face, trailing them until they were out of sight. As soon as James saw them approaching, he got out of the car and opened the backdoor for Jason who stood beside the car with his son still resting on his shoulder and Brenda standing next to him. “So, I will see you in the evening?” Jason asked with a smile on his face, but Brenda acted really confused as she mumbled some words that he couldn't understand. “I thought you were supposed to come check on my Grandfather.” “Oh, that?” Brenda scoffed, and then she cleared her throat while Jason waited for her response. “Definitely, I will be there.” “Good. I will see you then, I have to go now.” Jason waved at Brenda, a

“Yeah, yeah. I am fine.” Rose cleared her throat almost immediately, and then she sighed heavily to let go of the emotions that were cringed up in her. “Are you sure? You are crying.” Jason looked at Rose with so much concern. “I am sorry. It’s just that he reminds me so much of my younger brother.” “Oh, really? You never mentioned that you had a brother. Where is he now?” Jason asked with a curious smile on his face which turned into a worrisome expression as soon as he saw the tears that continued to trickle down Rose’s face as she tried to respond to his question. She looked at the baby almost immediately and sniffled. “What is it, Rose? Did I say something wrong?” “No, you didn’t. I am sorry.” Rose said with a shaky voice, but Jason wasn’t convinced that she was telling the truth. “Then what is it? Why are you crying?” Jason asked almost immediately, looking at his son who moved almost immediately. He looked at Rose who still had her eyes on the baby, and she could t
The Rising Phoenix: Devisee’s escapade. Final warning
Jason stared at the screen of his phone for a few seconds as soon as he ended the call with the Attorney, and then he sighed heavily. Not long after, his phone began to ring again, and he looked at the screen to see who was calling. He chuckled as soon as he saw the name of the caller displayed on his screen.Slowly, he answered the call and placed the phone on his right ear without saying a word while he maintained a smile on his face. “You are not going to say anything, you bastard!” The caller roared from his own end of the line when he realized that Jason had been silent for over five seconds. Jason chuckled almost immediately, and then he looked at his son to be sure that he wasn’t going to wake him up with his voice. “Clark, Clark, Clark. To what do I owe this call? I didn’t even realize that you still had my number. Do you still remember that you told me that I was not in your league?” “You are crazy! That’s not the reason why I called you!” Clark said with a voice l
The Rising Phoenix: Devisee’s escapade. The Statement
As soon as he saw who was calling, he sighed in relief before he clicked on the icon on the screen of the phone to answer the call. “Hello, Harry.” He said as soon as he placed the phone on his right ear. “Hello, Young Master. I wasn’t sure if you were available to talk. I wanted to knock at your door.” “Is everything alright? Is it my Grandfather? It’s not been long since I left his room.” Jason took a step toward the door to move to his Grandfather’s room. “Your Grandfather is fine, I just checked in on him.” “Oh, okay. So what is it?” Jason said with a calmer tone, listening to what Harry was going to say from the other end of the line. “It’s the report you asked for. The Account Officer has emailed it.” “Nice, that’s lovely.” Jason nodded in satisfaction, and then he turned to look at his son who slept soundly. “But we have a little problem, Young Master. Not really a problem, but it is something that needs urgent attention.” Jason remained silent for a while bef

“Good day, Young Master.” “Good day. You must be Cara.” Jason said calmly, looking at the middle-aged lady standing in front of him with her uniform on. “Yes, Young Master. Mr. Harrison has asked me to come look after the baby.” Cara said with a cheerful smile on her face. Jason observed Cara for a few seconds, and he couldn’t get over the fact that she looked really familiar. “Have I met you before?” He asked her with a low tone, wearing a curious expression on his face. Cara looked at his face for a few seconds, and when she was done with her observation, she shook her head with a confident look on her face. “I doubt that, Young Master. This is probably the first time you are seeing me, even though I was here when you arrived.” Jason looked at Cara for a while, and her face kept on reminding him of someone even though he couldn’t really place his hands on anything tangible. “Anyway, maybe you look like someone I know,” Jason said, and then he sighed heavily in an att
The Rising Phoenix: Devisee’s escapade. Golden Penny Bank
Throughout the forty-five-minute ride to the bank, Jason struggled to get rid of the awkward feeling that crept into his mind as he couldn’t resist the urge to think about his previous encounter in the bank. “I really hope I don’t see him, and even if I do, I hope he behaves himself,” Jason said with a whisper, and then he drove into the driveway that led to the bank at a slow pace. He parked in the parking lot of the bank before he got down slowly from the car and adjusted his blue jacket after slamming the door and pressing the lock button on the remote control. He stared at the bank for a few seconds, and then he took in a deep breath which he let out slowly before he cleared his throat and started striding toward the entrance of the bank. “Here we go.” He said with a whisper, and then he increased the speed of his footsteps until he stopped in front of the casement doors, and the guard inside opened one of them for him. “Welcome, Sir.” “Thank you,” Jason said calmly,
The Rising Phoenix: Devisee’s escapade. No Loan!
Patrick stopped laughing after a few seconds, and then he looked at the cashiers who were staring with so much attention at what was going on. “Everyone, he said he is going to make me suffer for denying him a loan he clearly wasn’t worth considering. Can you imagine that? He thinks this is a comedy show.” Most of the people in the banking hall laughed so hard at the words of the Assistant Manager, and even the two cashiers who knew how vile he could be were forced to fake laughter for fear of what he could do to them. Jason was angry at the words Patrick spoke, and his desire to make him suffer increased drastically. He clutched his right fist and looked at him with bloodshot eyes. “You really shouldn’t have done that. I warned you!” Jason voiced out to Patrick who was still having so much fun laughing at his own words. “Oh yeah? And what do you plan on doing about it? Huh?” Patrick said without flinching, and then he moved closer to Jason and adjusted his jacket with a smi

“Oh, wow!” Patrick said loudly, and then he started to laugh hysterically at Jason, drawing the attention of everyone close to him for the second time.Jason stood firm and unbothered by his actions, as he waited for the perfect time to deal with him mercilessly. “You really are a clown, Young man. Do you really think that this is some kind of circus that you can come and parade your foolishness?” “Why do they keep using that word?” Jason thought to himself as he looked at Patrick speak with a valor he was determined to crash. “You really have spent more time than necessary in this place, and as you can see, the customers are really getting uncomfortable with your presence,” Patrick said with a smirk on his face, and then he looked toward his left, and a bright smile appeared on his face. “Aha! They were here right on time. I am going to enjoy watching your sorry ass kicked out of this place.” Patrick said to Jason as soon as he saw the three guards approaching. Following

Joe’s Cafe
The waitress discovered that two men were walking toward her, and adjusting herself with a welcoming smile on her face, she greeted them warmly. “Hello, Sir. Welcome to Joe’s Café. Do you need anything?” “Yes. Hello. We are looking for a lady called Shirley. I was told she works here.” Jason said with a smile as well, looking at the waitress whose countenance showed that she didn’t know who he was talking about. “Shirley? I don’t think I know any Shirley who works here, Sir. I am new here, but I can get you someone who could know.” “Yes, please! Thank you so much.” Harry said calmly, gesturing to the waitress who nodded before walking away, holding onto the small notepad and pen she had in her hands. “I really hope this ends well,” Jason said with a whisper, sighing firstly while he kept his eyes on the path the waitress took. The waitress returned in less than a minute with another waitress who looked older and more experienced than her. “Hello, Sirs. My name is Nora. I

Bring Him Home
For a few seconds, Jason remained silent, but it didn’t seem like that was going to solve anything. The old man was still waiting to get a response from him, and Harry was interested to know the outcome of their meeting as well. Adjusting himself to get a more comfortable posture, Jason cleared his throat and sighed before he spoke with a voice that almost sounded like a whisper. “He has a son.” He said calmly, but his words were too heavy for the other men in the room to remain as calm as he was. Lord Walker knew Jason to be a man who didn’t joke with such things but for a second, he remained calm, hoping that he was going to say he was joking. Maybe he meant to say something else. “A son?” “Yes, Grandpa. He has a son.” “Julius has a son?” Lord Walker leaned forward, and grabbed the half-empty glass of water which he consumed before returning it to the table. “Are you okay, Lord Walker?” Harry asked, moving closer to the old man who raised his hands to stop him from g

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
