The Rising Phoenix: Devisee’s escapade. Tough Choice
All the ears in the room expanded to hear what Jason was going to say, even their eyes bulged out of their sockets in the widest curiosity. It was expectation for some while it was anxiety for the rest. Jason paused and created more suspense amidst the tension that already exhumed from his aura. Mr Vin’s face turned pale from the tension in his body. “You know what they say about Karma Mr Vin?” Jason said, then he turned to look at the Chief of Police who was seated on the hot seat with his hands shaking uncontrollably. Obviously he didn’t have any answer to the question the young man asked him. “Right, I will answer that for you. They say karma is real and I absolutely concur. Don’t you think so?” Mr Vin looked at Jason, not sure if he was to respond to the question or but even if he wanted to, the frozen state it his body wouldn’t have let him. Of course he knew that no matter what he said, nothing was going to change his fate. “Anyways Mr Vin, it doesn’t really matter if
The Rising Phoenix: Devisee’s escapade. Fireback!
The ride from the Police Station down to the Palmer resident seemed like the longest ride for Mr Vin notwithstanding the fact that the distance between them wasn’t so far off. He continued to wipe the sweat balls that emerged from his pores at several intervals. “Could you be a little bit faster Mr Vin?” Jason said to the man whose hands were really shaky and clutched tightly on the steering wheel. “Yeah that’s better now.” Jason said with a smile on his face as soon as the Chief of Police increased the speed of the vehicle. “Don’t worry, this would be over very soon. All you have to do is to arrest your lovely daughter for wrongly accusing me, her husband and also Jacob for assault. Very much easy.” Jason said with a smirk on his lips but that made Mr Vin’s heart beat faster as he wished he had not gotten himself involved in such a situation that was about to make him do the unthinkable. “Who arrests his own daughter?” He thought to himself as he shook his head in uttermost d
The Rising Phoenix: Devisee’s escapade. Apprehension
“What?” Fiona was the first to speak as she came out from the house through the door. The rest of the people standing very close to her raised their eyebrows and widened their eyes to be sure that what they heard was what the Chief of Police said. Maya twitched her eyes severally to see if her father was actually serious or if she was hallucinating but Mr Vin didn’t budge. “Dad? Is this some kind of joke?” Maya asked with a low tune as she stared at her father who bent his face almost immediately avoiding his daughter’s eyes. Andrew could have sworn that the Chief of Police was playing some kind of prank, but he had always known him to be a serious minded person who had no time for silly jokes. He looked at him carefully for the second time and found himself just as confused as his wife. “Dad? Say something.” Maya said again with a shaky voice as she watched her father stand both motionless and speechless at the same time. “Mr Prescott this is really some kind of expensive j
The Rising Phoenix: Devisee’s escapade. Silence
“Isabella?” Chloe called out, but she met only silence as the young lady seemed to be out of words following the way everything had played out. “Miss Fiona?” Chloe turned towards the middle aged woman, but she was as confused as her daughter. “Look, we have to do something. They just took my husband! How the hell is that even possible? How can Maya’s father have her arrested? I think I am dreaming, someone should wake me up.” Chloe continued, then she pinched herself to be certain that she wasn’t dreaming. She truly confirmed it with the slight pain she felt in her hand after she had pinched herself. “I need some drink.” Isabella announced, then she turned towards the door and went into the house ignoring the drama Chloe was acting. “I think I will join you too.” Fiona said almost immediately, then she gradually turned around and met with her daughter. “Are you guys just gonna leave me here alone? We need to go get them, we can’t just let them be taken away like that. This i
The Rising Phoenix: Devisee’s escapade. The Mall
“Hello?” Jason called out to the the Mall attendant again wondering why she was acting as though she didn’t hear him but she still didn’t respond for the second time. “Thanks so much for your assistance Judy, I better be going now.” “Oh thank you Mr Billy for shopping with us.” The mall attendant replied to a man in blue tuxedo suit walking towards the exit of the mall with two ladies in stylish gowns following him behind and carrying heavy files bags not so eager to let go of the smiles on their faces. The man turned to face the doors but then his eyes met with Jason who was at a close distance to the mall attendant, he looked at him from the crown of his hair down to his shoes and scoffed, then he left. “Come on ladies, we still have a lot of things to do.” “Yes Mr Billy!” The ladies behind him said at once with so much excitement on their faces as they followed the man almost brushing Jason aside. The look he got from the man made Jason take a careful look at himself, t
The Rising Phoenix: Devisee’s escapade. Hot Seat
Jason turned towards the man who seemed to be in a hurry but not as much as he was, apparently he was trying to meet up with someone as he continuously looked towards the door. “Please Sir, kindly exercise some patience while I finish up with this gentleman right here.” The shop attendant seated behind the counter said to the man with a polite tone and a smile on his face but the man wasn’t in the mood to listen to him. Looking at Jason with close observation, he scoffed at him after he made a snigger, then he looked at the time on his Rolex wrist watch and stumped his right foot on the floor. “I don’t see any gentleman here, are you really going to make me wait while you attend to him?” He said pointing his finger at Jason with an inquisitive stare on his face. Jason felt really offended by his words, but he wasn’t really in the mood to fight with anyone, his major concern was getting back to his son before he would have woken up knowing fully that he would have been hungry b
The Rising Phoenix: Devisee’s escapade. Pesky Couple
“I am sorry my love, I would have been out of this place a long time ago, if not for this man that seems to have a problem letting rich people enjoy their privileges.” “Huh? What the hell.” Richard’s Fiancee smirked, then she took a thorough look at Jason following Richard’s eyes that kept on taking looks of disdain at Jason. “What’s his problem? Does he want some cash or something? Maybe you can offer him some.” “That’s a nice idea Annie, how come I didn’t think about that?” Richard said looking at his fiancee with a smile on his face, then he sighed and dipped his right hand into the pocket if his jacket and pulled out a hundred dollar bill. Extending his hands towards Jason, he gestured to him to take the cash. “This should be more than enough to get you a decent meal and probably a change of clothes.” Richard said looking all over Jason’s rough shirt and pants. Seeing what had happened, Annie sniggered excitedly with her eyes still glaring at Jason’s rumpled cloths. She
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

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

Confinement
There were guards standing in front of the gigantic metal gate, heavily armed and ready to shoot any intruder at sight. Their eyes were everywhere, on the lookout as they stood at various corners in front of the gate. The sight of Jason’s car approaching made them readjust immediately, but they were eased as soon as they recognized him from afar as he wheeled slowly, and stopped right in front of the gate. “Young Master.” One of the guards who came forward bowed gently while Jason nodded in response. “Let me in.” “At once!” The guard turned instantly, and signaled to his partner who grabbed a walkie-talkie with which he communicated with someone from the inside of the vicinity of the building. The gates opened automatically as soon as the button to unlock it was pressed, and Jason drove in at once, looking around through the windows beside him. It was his first time in the military training camp, and even though he asked Harry to give him the address to the place, he

Special Invite
Standing in front of his room the next morning, Jason waited patiently, glad in a grey suit while he looked around the hallway as though he was expecting to see someone. His eyes eventually stopped at his Grandfather’s door while so many thoughts of contemplation ran through his mind. “I don’t think he will be happy if he finds out that I want to go there without him.” He whispered only to his hearing, and then he sighed softly before he was distracted by the sound of footsteps approaching from a distance in front of him. The Butler appeared after a few seconds and Jason cleared his throat while he signaled to him to walk toward him the moment he noticed he was walking toward Lord Walker’s room. “Good morning, Young Master. I didn’t realize that you were standing there.” Harry said as soon as he stopped in front of Jason who sighed at once. “Morning, Harry. How are the girls?”“They are fine, Young Master. Rose refused to leave her sister’s side, she’s been there since yest

No more Rival
Lord Walker silently looked at Jason for almost a minute, a pleasant smile plastered app over his face. He leaned forward, and cleared his throat while Jason adjusted himself at once, thinking he was ready to break the silence, but he was wrong. “Okay, Grandpa. You have been staring at me since I sat down. Don’t you have plans to say anything?” Jason broke the silence the moment he felt it had lingered for so long, and the old man chuckled before giving him a response. “I never thought I would be so lucky, Jack. I am so lucky to have you as my Grandson. Your parents would be so proud of you wherever they are. You have single-handedly destroyed all the enemies of this family, and there is no rival left.” Lord Walker clapped his hands gently without taking his eyes away from Jason who shook his head at once, but was unable to get rid of the smile on his face. “I didn’t do it alone, Grandpa. Harry was there to help…” “Of course! But you are the brain behind everything, Jack. Yo

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
