The Rising Phoenix: Devisee’s escapade. No Time
Jason mumbled, as his eyes opened gradually, until his blurry vision became really clear. He had fallen asleep on the chair while keeping watch over his Grandfather. “Good morning, Young Master.” Harry greeted as soon as he pushed the door open, and walked into the room to see Jason seated on a seat. “Good morning, Harry. Hope you slept well.” “Sure. Thank you.” Jason tried to get up, but his body was weak, and some parts around his waist ached due to the posture he was in while he slept. “I have some news about the inquiry you asked me to make.” Hearing those words from the butler, Jason blinked his eyes severally and stretched his hands slowly, as he tried to understand what he was talking about. “What inquiry?” He asked, as he managed to get up from the chair, and turned to look at the butler who was standing behind him. “The car auction.” “Oh, what about it?” Jason asked at once, his entire attention was drawn to the middle-aged man standing in front of him, who

“Oh, no, Mr. Walker. I have an urgent appointment, and I have to be there in less than an hour.” “Oh,” Jason mumbled softly and turned his face to his Grandfather in an attempt to hide the feeling inside him. “See you later, Bye,” Brenda said without referring to anyone in particular, as she walked stylishly out of the room, with the two men looking at her, particularly Jason who couldn’t comprehend the way he felt seeing her walk away. He kept on looking until she was out of sight and shut the door behind her. Not able to understand what was going on with him, he sighed heavily, and then he blinked severally as though that was going to help with his thoughts. Harry realized that he had been struggling with taking his eyes off her until she was out of sight, and then he smiled softly and cleared his throat twice, causing Jason to turn to look at him. “She is really a beautiful young lady, one of the rare type with solid character and other exceptional qualities. She is kind
The Rising Phoenix: Devisee’s escapade. Acclimatize
Harry turned toward the door and left the room at once, while Jason followed a few seconds later after he had taken one last look at his Grandfather. They walked through the hallway, and in less than a minute, they got to the end of it, Harry opened the door by the left, getting into the room at once with Jason right behind him. “Here you go, Young Master. Everything you need is right here, but if you need any other thing, do not hesitate to call me.”“This will go, Harry. Thank you.” Harry bowed slightly with a smile on his face, and then he walked out of the room, closing the door behind him. Jason sighed softly as he stood right in the middle of the room, Scouring with his eyes, and savoring the beauty of the place. It was evident to him that his eyes were meeting more and more luxury, and he wondered if there was more. “Well, Daddy sure lived like a king.” He nodded in intense satisfaction, and then he walked around the antechamber, admiring the interior décor of the

Jason grabbed one of the sandwiches from the stainless dish, and took a bite at once, giving in to the hunger in him, as his stomach suddenly started to rumble as soon as he perceived the sweet aroma of the food on the table. “I think you should have that with some coffee as well,” Harry said, pointing to the jug in front of Jason which he grabbed almost immediately, poured some of its content into a coffee cup, and returned it to its position. He added some milk from the cup of milk on the table, and stirred severally, while still holding onto the cup, just in case the milk wasn’t enough, When he was sure that he had added enough milk to the coffee, he dropped the cup of milk, brought out the spoon, and hit it gently on the tip of the cup to be sure that no liquid was going to drop on the table, before he balanced it on the saucer. Harry watched him with keen admiration as he did all of that, proving that he was well-cultured, even though he may not have lived a life of luxur
The Rising Phoenix: Devisee’s escapade. Coiffure
With the thoughts that resided in his mind constantly reoccurring throughout the ride to the Palmer residence, Jason could only sigh severally, that the guard in the driver’s seat was forced to steal interval looks at him, wondering what was wrong with him. “A lot has happened within a few days, my head bangs!” He whispered loudly, but the only thing the guard could hear was mumblings, as Jason’s words were inaudible to him, and all of his efforts to hear him were futile. Feeling that someone was watching him, Jason was moved by impulse, as he changed his view from staring at nothing to looking at the rearview mirror, only to see the eyes of the guard staring at him, even though he withdrew his gaze at once. Instantly, Jason’s thoughts were drifted by the sight of himself which made him really uncomfortable. He looked at the time on his wristwatch and sighed. “I still have some time left, I could take some time to myself. After all, I don’t see what I would be doing there exce
The Rising Phoenix: Devisee’s escapade. Deep thoughts
Jason said nothing in response to the words that the barber said, as he wondered why he was asking him such a question. “I am sorry, Sir. It’s just that we know almost all of our customers, and I can’t remember seeing your face here. Also, you look like you are way above this kind of place.” “Oh, I see.” “Yes sir.” The barber said with a smile on his face which Jason reciprocated, even though he didn’t want to, he thought the barber was going to become silent afterward, but he had no intention to. “So tell me, Sir. Have you been here before?” At first, Jason wanted to be silent, but in order not to appear rude, he sighed and decided to respond to the question. “Not quite, this is my first time here.” “That’s lovely, sir. I knew it, welcome to our salon!” “Yeah, thank you.” “I hope you will come back later after this, we will be happy to have you back. We have an ongoing discount for our loyal customers, and I would like you to be a part of it. It won’t last for too l
The Rising Phoenix: Devisee’s escapade. Reminisce
Slowly, Jason got up from the seat, and looked at his reflection in the mirror, unable to resistthe urge to smile in self-admiration. He turned to look at Yusuf, nodding in satisfaction."Thank you, Yusuf, you have done a wonderful job.""I am glad you like it, Sir." The barber said with a chuckle, holding onto his hair clipper andthe apron cape in his hands."How much is it!""Just a hundred and fifty dollars, Sir."As soon as he heard those words from Yusuf, Jason nodded with his smile intact, and then heput his hand into his pocket and brought out two dollar bills, handing them over to him."You can keep the change.""What? Thank you! Thank you, Sir!" Yusuf said loudly after he had gasped at Jason's kindgesture, but the young man only nodded, and said nothing in response to him."Please come back anytime you need to have a nice haircut, Sir. I will always be at yourservice.""I will keep that in mind, Yusuf. Have a nice day, and I wish you well with your aspirati

"Oh, that's terrible! They messed with the wrong family." Jason said, realizing that hehad been living devils for a long time."How did I not see this?" He thought to himself, sighing in a little surprise. He knew that thePalmers were hostile, but he had hoped that they had a little sympathy in them, thinking theyonly detested him because he was poor and unusually married to Isabella, but henever knew they could be that vile."I shouldn't have listened to Clark. " He thought to himself, grunting at the feeling inside him,but on second thought, he felt everything happened for a reason."I am sorry for everything they made you go through. That was horrible of them.""Thank You, Young Master. I am glad that I was able to secure a job with your family. Mr.Harrison offered me this job as soon as I applied through an old schoolmate. I am gratefulfor this job."Gradually, the bodyguard let go of the gloom on his face, and he started to smile, driving towardthe driveway t

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

Unexpected Reunion
Rose walked out of the mansion a few minutes after she was called by one of the guards at Jason’s instruction. She had a curious expression on her face, and it became a little bit intense the moment she set her eyes on Jason who had a strange smile on his face. “Rose? How are you?” Jason’s face brightened up more the moment he set his eyes on Rose, but she was a little bit confused and ignored his question. “You sent for me.” She said calmly, stopping about three meters in front of Jason who nodded instantly without letting go of his smile. “Oh yes! I have a surprise for you. I am sure you are going to love it. Come on, let’s go!” Jason gestured to Rose to follow him, but she seemed a bit reluctant to even take a step. Jason was forced to turn to look at her when he realized that she hadn't made a move to follow him. “Come on, Rose. This is really important, I am sure you will love it. This is something you have always wanted.” Jason said convincingly, and taking in a deep b

Nadia
Jason received a call while he was driving on the highway. He had to slow the car down at once to be able to take the fall after seeing who the caller was on the screen of the phone. “Harry?” He said, and then he cleared his throat while listening attentively to hear what the Butler was going to say. “Young Master? We found something, I think you need to see this.” Harry said from the other end of the line, and Jason let go of the steering wheel at once while he held onto the phone with his other hand. “Where are you?”“At the location where the shipments were taken,” Harry responded at once, and Jason nodded slowly before grabbing the gear stick. “I will be right there!” He reversed the car at once and changed direction, heading to the location where Harry called from. The road was busy, causing Jason’s impatience to grow, but he remained calm while looking for the best way to maneuver through some of the cars in front of him. “Out of the way!” He barked at one of the st

Merciless
Looking at the people kneeling before him one after the other, Jason smirked, and almost immediately, he sniggered at them while he let them deal with the anxiety that cringed them. “You seek mercy?” He asked, and even though none of them could utter a word, the nod from Isabella and her Grandmother was enough to answer his question. The rest were too ashamed to react to his question. “I see…” He scoffed, and after looking around for a few seconds, he returned his gaze to them without letting go of the smirk on his face. “What you should seek is redemption, all of you. From where I am standing, you do not deserve mercy. Maybe when you have tasted the other side of life just like I have, then you will be able to receive redemption. We are done here, I only came to claim what rightfully belongs to me, your words have no effect on me.” Jason turned to look at Ramon who waited to hear what he was going to say, eager to carry out their instruction. “Ramon?”“Yes, Young Master!” Th

Kneel Shamelessly
The Palmers looked at each other the moment they heard the utterances from Jason, and when they returned their gazes to him, they could see that he wasn’t joking when he said those words, and even afterward. “You… You want us to kneel?”“Why not, Isabella? If you really want to show me how desperate you are to be shown mercy, then getting on your knees shouldn’t be a problem. The ball is in your court.” Jason maintained a smirk on his face, and then he went silent, waiting to see what their reaction was going to be. “You really want us to kneel?” Lady Alice asked with a weak tone, but Jason remained silent while he maintained his smirk. The old lady looked at her family members, and seeing that they were as helpless as she was, she swallowed hard saliva and sighed heavily. “I can't believe I am about to do this.” She grunted, and after giving Jason one long look, she slowly lifted her gown with both hands, and went on her knees, unable to lift her face from the ground. “Thi

Game Over
The news of the revelation of the identity of the richest and youngest billionaire in the entire country spread like wildfire, and people were cut between trying to know how a nobody suddenly became the heir to the biggest conglomerate in the country, and how he had managed to keep his secret hidden for so long while he carried out all his plans. Evidently, Jason had succeeded in carrying out his plans, or most of them, but there was still more, and there was no way he was going to leave any loose ends. The sun had taken over the moon, shining its rays on the surface of the earth while the cool morning breeze was blowing on the faces of everyone who was out that morning, including those who left their windows open. Standing firm with his evergreen smile intact, Jason kept his eyes on the Palmer mansion for a very long time while the memories of the past experiences he had in that building flashed through his mind. “Who would have thought that this day would come?” He thought t

Lock Away
While the Palmers were still arguing amongst themselves, Jason turned to look at Dalton and his cohorts who were seated at one of the round tables in the hall, staring at him with so many thoughts going through their minds. “To the man who killed my father. Of course, you are not going to be left out of the special packages going around. I have always been longing for this day when I can look you in the eyes, and watch you pay for what you did.” Jason grunted angrily, and then he took in a deep breath which he let out slowly before he continued. “I have your goods locked up somewhere safe, but the authorities have been informed of all your involvement. They should be here any moment from now.” Jason looked at the time on his wristwatch, and then at the entrance of the hall. “Aha! There they are!” He nodded in satisfaction as soon as he saw the ten policemen tripping into the hall with their guns in their hands. They marched straight to Dalton’s table and surrounded him and his c

The Big Reveal
The entire hall was thrown into a period of shock. First, it was a long silence, followed by whisperings, and then the recognition by some of those who knew Jason. “Is that?…” Lady Alice Palmer couldn’t finish her words. Seated at one of the long tables in the hall, she turned to look at her son Morgan who was seated beside her, but when he didn’t seem like he was ready to say anything, she turned to look at Isabella who she was certain was going to be able to recognize her ex-husband just in case her eyes were deceiving her. “That’s Jason!” Isabella confirmed before her Grandmother could open her mouth to ask her. “What the hell is he doing here? And why is Philip kneeling before him?” She added, standing up slowly from her seat to have a better look. “Maybe he is one of the guards who are here with Mr. Walker.” Jacob her cousin stated, and Andrew nodded to support him even though he had several doubts running through his mind, especially with the fact that Jason stood out fr

White Party
Finally, it was time for the shipments to arrive, and the anticipation in the air was higher than it had ever been both for the two parties. Jason was clad in one of his very expensive black suites, complimented with a classic Tom Ford brown shoe, and a Richer Miller wristwatch. His cologne went before him, and also remained a few minutes even after he was gone. “You look very beautiful in that dress, my baby.” He said with a pleasant smile, looking at Brenda who walked out of the room, dressed in a white gown that that had beautiful pebbles embroidered all around it. A nice diamond necklace was hanging around her neck, and her hills were impeccably dazzling. “Thanks, Jay! I never knew you had such an amazing taste for quality and beautiful things.” Brenda retorted at once, chuckling with a blush. “Ah! You have to get used to it, my darling! See, I know luxury more than you think, and for you, I will do anything in the world just to make sure that you are ever-glowing. You have
