The Rising Phoenix: Devisee’s escapade. Promises and Failures
Turning toward the direction he heard the sound of the car from, Jason looked at once, expecting to see Brenda and Tricia, but it was a car that he recognized as soon as he set his eyes on it. It was one of the cars that the guards left with, and within a few seconds, another car drove in behind it. Harry and two other guards were inside. “She is not the one,” Jason grunted at once, and then he sighed heavily. He checked his phone again, but Brenda had not returned his calls. In less than a minute, Harry walked up to him, and as soon as he saw the look on his face, he decided to inquire why he looked disturbed, speaking with a voice a little above a whisper. “Young Master? Is everything alright?” Jason looked at the Butler who was still waiting patiently to hear what he was going to say, but no word was able to leave his mouth until he took in a deep breath and let it out slowly. “It’s Brenda. I came back home and she is gone.” “Oh.” Harry’s inquisitive expression changed
The Rising Phoenix: Devisee’s escapade. The Proposals
Jason woke up the next morning, but he didn’t see Brenda on the bed. He got up at once, and walked out of the room to Henry’s room, rubbing off the sleep in his eyes while he sauntered to his son’s room. “Hey!” He said to Brenda who was carrying Henry with both hands while she was seated on the couch in the room. “Good morning, Jay,” Brenda said with a smile on her face shortly after she clipped the diapers she was putting on Henry who was yet to know that his father was inside the room until he heard his voice. “I woke up and I didn’t find you on the bed,” Jason said while he walked up to Brenda and planted a kiss on her lips. Henry saw his father as soon as Brenda turned him around, and he reached out to him at once, stretching to be carried. “Your son wants you, here you go!” Brenda handed Henry over to his father who carried him at once and dandled him gently while he giggled and cooed at the same time.“I should go make something to eat,” Brenda said as she stood up ge
The Rising Phoenix: Devisee’s escapade. No Other Choice
Jason sat on the chair as soon as he got into his office while Declan stood beside him after placing the files on the table. Jason looked at the files one after the other, and picked the file in the middle which belonged to Philip Diaz. He flipped it open at once and glanced through the first three pages before he turned to look at Declan who was also busy glancing at the documents in the file. “Mr. Coleman? He is demanding ten percent of the amount.” “Yes, Young Master. It seems they are going through a rough patch, and currently, they are being affected by the recession in the country.” Declan explained calmly, and Jason nodded with a smile on his face. “It also states here that they have an outstanding loan of five million dollars. I wonder how they are planning to repay this loan to the company.” “Well, one of the clauses in the contract he signed before taking the loan stated that he would have to make an additional payment of ten percent of the actual amount he borrowe
The Rising Phoenix: Devisee’s escapade. Signed but not Sealed
Philip knew that it was either he got the contract or his father's company which was handed over to him not so long ago. He struggled with the thought of having to plead with Jason whom he had maltreated in the past, but because he was left with no choice at that moment, he had to let go of his ego. Slowly, he turned around and took three steps toward Jason who nodded the moment he saw him moving back to him with a look of defeat on his face. “I knew you were going to come back, Mr. Diaz. You are a very smart man, and I am certain you wouldn’t want to lose your father’s company because of your ego. Please, have a seat.” Jason pointed at one of the seats on the other side of the desk, and then he waited until Philip reluctantly sat down on the seat, unable to look him in the eyes. Seeing that Philip finally sat down, the Manager sighed softly and spoke to Ian with a low tone, still wondering what was the reason for the little drama between them. “Will you be needing anything el
The Rising Phoenix: Devisee’s escapade. To save
While he went on his way out of his office, and toward the elevator, Jason picked up his phone and dialed a number, placing it on his right ear while he sauntered through the hallway that led to the elevator. “Hello, Lisa. How are you?” “Hi? Who is this?” Came the weak female tone from the other end of the line while Jason sighed before responding. “It’s me! Jason Caruso!”“You finally called, Jason! You called!” Lisa said with a lot of excitement in her voice while Jason chuckled softly before he continued.“Of course! I told you I was going to call, didn’t I? I will never forget all the things you did for me back then, Lisa Mascot.”“Oh, come on! I was only trying to be a good friend.” “Trust me, Lisa. I have seen friends who are not good friends. You gave me food to eat even when I never asked, that’s what good people do, not just good friends, and I am grateful to you.” “I am glad you still remember, Jason…” Lisa sighed in despair, and Jason felt the tension from her
The Rising Phoenix: Devisee’s escapade. Medical Council
Lisa could remember everything Jason told her when he was working in the hospital, and looking at him, she could see the anger that he tried to hide, boiling inside him with an intense rage. In order to get a grip on himself, Jason took in a very deep breath, and slowly he exhaled all of it, struggling to maintain a smile on his face even though it really didn’t show the actual way he felt inside. “Hello, Miss Mascot. I was told that you haven’t made any deposit just like you promised.” The Doctor said as soon as he stopped in front of Lisa who bent her face slowly, avoiding his glaring eyes. “I am sorry, Doctor. Things didn’t go as I planned, but I promise to make payments as soon as I can. I just need some more time.” “That’s the problem, Miss Mascot! We don’t have time! It’s either you make the payment or we would have to find other means to get it. Your father will remain here with us until you do so.” The Doctor threatened, ignoring Jason who had his eyes on him the whole
The Rising Phoenix: Devisee’s escapade. License Revoked
The sight of the Head of the Medical Council shocked Doctor Bruno beyond every form of imagination, and while his mouth was still agape, he withdrew his gaze from her and turned to look at Jason who waved at him with a smirk on his face. Seeing the sight of Mrs. Gilbert, even the nurses froze and adjusted their clothes, making sure that everything on the counter was properly arranged to avoid any form of query from her. “Mr. Sheldon?” Mrs. Gilbert called out to him again, and he turned anxiously to look at him, lacking the right words to say. “You have violated three medical codes, and your license will be revoked pending when we are done carrying out our investigation. You shall be escorted out of this Hospital with immediate effect, and a new Doctor assigned to take your place.”“No! You can’t do that! I have been a medical Doctor for twenty-seven years! You can’t just come here and tell me that my license will be revoked without hearing from me! I am a senior Doctor! A renow
The Rising Phoenix: Devisee’s escapade. Draft a Proposal
Jason had his eyes fixed on the Doctor while he attended to Lisa’s father. Lisa was nervous, but the fact that Jason had come to the rescue of her father’s situation gave her great reassurance. A few minutes later, the Doctor sent for a nurse making use of the telephone on the table beside her, and in less than a minute, one of the nurses appeared with a tray in her hands. Jason turned slowly and discovered that the nurse was the same one who he knew three years earlier when he worked in the Hospital as a janitor. She completely avoided looking at him, and carried the tray to the Doctor. “It’s funny how the two of you are acting so innocent even after all you did to me.” Jason broke the silence in the room as soon as the Doctor was done with Lisa’s father. Slowly, Doctor Felix turned to look at him, not sure if he was really referring to him. The nurse on the other hand was certain that Jason was talking to both of them and even though she turned to look at him, she was unable

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

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
