The Rising Phoenix: Devisee’s escapade. Day of Reckoning
The dark room was silent, but it was almost possible to hear Marcelo’s heart as it pounded aggressively while he struggled to catch his breath. “Oh, wow!” Jason nodded in excitement the moment he looked at the screen of the phone after a few seconds of silently waiting for a notification to pop up, and immediately he heard the sound of the vibration which was accompanied by a beep sound from the phone, he looked at the screen. “We have ten comments already, and so many reactions to the post. It’s only been a few minutes.” Jason nodded as he clicked on the screen of the phone. “This one right here says ‘he is a pervert’. Oh wow! Let’s see what the others are saying.” Jason nodded while he scrolled through the information on the screen. “This lady here says ‘He should be castrated for doing that to women, his mother should be ashamed of him’ If only they knew that your family supports your evil act, let’s see this one right here…” Jason cleared his throat while he scrolled to re
The Rising Phoenix: Devisee’s escapade. Get a Wife
Jason walked into the hospital and headed straight to his Grandfather’s ward without greeting the nurses who were surprised that he ignored them even when they waved at him. “He seems very much excited.” One of the nurses said to her colleague who nodded in response without taking her eyes away from Jason who smiled as he walked through the hallway that led to the ward. Jason walked into the ward the moment Bruce opened the door for him, and he met Harry seated just the way he met him the previous way, while his Grandfather sat on the bed with a glass of water in his hands. “Aha! Jack! You are here, I was beginning to think you had abandoned your old man.” Lord Walker teased the moment he lifted his head to look at Jason who walked directly toward him while Harry turned around to look at him. “You know I would never leave you, Grandpa. I just had something to take care of.” “Of course, you would never leave me, I am sure of that. You have the heart of your father. Come sit
The Rising Phoenix: Devisee’s escapade. Don't Show
Jason handed over the phone to Harry after bringing out the post. “Take a look at that.” Jason looked at the screen of the phone as soon as he handed it over to Harry who watched the video on the post in full attention. Jason made sure that the volume was low in order not to disturb the serenity of the hospital and so that no other person was going to hear what was going on, especially his Grandfather. “Serves him right! I can’t believe that Brenda went through all of that, she must be feeling devastated right now.” Harry said with an angry tone, and then he handed over the phone to Jason who grabbed it from him and put it inside his pocket. “He is definitely going to pay for this, and I think we should tell your Grandfather about this, Young Master.” “No! He must not know anything about this, Harry. Not even the smallest information…” Jason shook his head to indicate that he wasn’t giving Harry the consent to tell Lord Walker while the Butler stared at him with a curious expr
The Rising Phoenix: Devisee’s escapade. Black Coffee
On his way out of the hospital, Jason saw two old ladies seated at the reception and looking at the screen of their phones with scowling on their faces. “I do much detest men who think they can treat ladies the way they like because they have so much money to throw around. This man is a monster!” The last seated by the right said to her friend who shared almost the same countenance as her while she lifted her face from her own phone to look at her. “I can imagine what all those girls must have gone through in the hands of that moron, he should be locked up, and the keys thrown into the abyss!” “You are right, Monica. People like this are not supposed to be left to be walking around. He would only be given the chance to do this to some other ladies.” “I am happy that someone was courageous enough to get him to confess all his crimes, whoever did this deserves an award,” Monica said with a smile on her face while her friend nodded in agreement. Jason instantly knew that the la
The Rising Phoenix: Devisee’s escapade. Not killed
For a few seconds, Brenda waited to get a response from Jason, but he remained silent, and instead of giving her a response, he slowly returned to his previous position, and sat down on the bed. “You still haven’t answered my question.” “What did you ask?” Jason inquired calmly, pretending not to know what she was talking about. “I asked what you did to Marcelo. Where is he? What did you do to him?” “Oh! That pervert?” Jason said with a smirk on his face, and Brenda nodded in response without looking away from Jason after she had paid all her attention to him. “Well, I made sure he would never treat any woman like his property ever again. I made sure that he would never touch any women, not in this lifetime especially.” Jason said with a nod, and Brenda suddenly became nervous after giving a wrong interpretation to the words she heard from him. “Did you kill him?” Brenda asked with a shaky voice, not ready to hear the response to the question just in case it was going to b
The Rising Phoenix: Devisee’s escapade. Distracted
Brenda looked at Jason for a few seconds, and when she couldn’t resist the urge to fall for his smile, she grabbed his hand slowly, and he pulled her upward before holding her on the waist. Their eyes met with each other, and Brenda couldn’t keep her eyes away from his after realizing how fascinating his blue orbs were. “I am really sorry that you had to pass through all of that in the hands of that monster. You deserve better.” Jason said with a smile, breaking the silence that had existed between them while Brenda looked away from his compelling eyes. “Thank you.” She said with a low tone, while she wrapped her arms around his neck, engulfed by the euphoria of the chemistry that existed between them. “For what?” Jason asked after waiting for her to speak again but only received a few seconds of silence. “For standing up for me at the restaurant, and for doing whatever you did to stop him from ever laying his hand on any woman.” “It’s fine, Brenda. You don’t have to worry
The Rising Phoenix: Devisee’s escapade. Unperturbed
Jason shut the door behind him the moment he left the room, and then he looked around the hallway to see if anyone was around, but it was empty. “Hello?” He said to the person at the other end of the line, his voice was anticipatory. “Hello, Young Master. How are you doing?” “I am fine, Kelvin. Do you have anything for me?” “Yes, Young Master. I think we should meet, I don’t know if you are free at the moment.” Jason groaned almost immediately, thinking of the best thing to do. There were a lot of things he wanted to do, and he didn’t know how he was going to be able to meet up with all of them. He took in a deep breath, and then he exhaled slowly before he responded to Kelvin who was very patient to hear what he was going to say. “I am not so free now, Kelvin. I don’t know…” “This is very important, Young Master. I really think you should see this. It’s about the identity of the man you asked me to find. I think I have something.” “Really?” “Yes, Young Master. You
The Rising Phoenix: Devisee’s escapade. The Lucky Man
When he was sure that he had Brenda’s attention, Jason sighed softly before he continued while the Doctor paid keen attention, hoping that whatever he was going to say to her was going to be relieving. “I know that you are worried about all the things you mentioned, but you seem to be forgetting something…” “What is that?” Brenda asked almost immediately when she saw that Jason had paused for a while. “You have forgotten that you are dealing with the Walkers, Brenda. Do you think anyone would be able to go against us in this country not to talk of the entire city? We are the most powerful people, and Silas Brooks is under our leadership. Without my family’s support, his business will crumble. He is nothing without us.” “Really?” “Yes, Brenda. You see, we are major shareholders in his business, he owes us. I am just sorry that we gave him and his son the opportunity to do that to you and get away with it. I am sure he wouldn’t have dared it, or probably gotten away with it if

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
