The Rising Phoenix: Devisee’s escapade. Only Heir
Even though Julian knew that his demand was outrageous, he still stood on his firm resolve to get what he wanted. He adjusted his jacket while he maintained a confident smile on his face, waiting to get a response from Lord Walker who turned to look at Jason, hoping he was going to have the right words to say in response to his demand. “You want everything?” Jason said with a voice that almost sounded like a whisper, looking at Julian who returned his gaze to him at once without saying a word. “You want everything?” Jason asked again while Julian nodded in response. “I believe that I didn’t stutter even though I am still wondering why I have to speak to you instead of my father. Who are you? His mouthpiece?”“That’s irrelevant, Julian. Do you realize that your demand is outrageous?”“Why? Because I asked for something that rightfully belongs to me? I am the only one he’s got! His son is dead, and he will soon be gone too. Who is he going to leave all of that wealth for? Me of
The Rising Phoenix: Devisee’s escapade. Gripped
All of a sudden, there was silence in the room, but it seemed like it was only Julian who felt a cringe inside him. He adjusted himself severally to feel comfort, but it seemed like the problem was not from the outside, but from the feelings that he was getting inside.His plans didn’t look like they were going to work all thanks to Jason, and he thought of the best way to act at that moment. “Are you taking the money or not?” Jason asked with a tone that almost sounded like a whisper, but Julian was more interested in something else, some other thing he heard from Lord Walker the last time he spoke, and that gave him a major concern. “You have another son? You have another heir?” He asked, looking at Lord Walker who chuckled softly before nodding in response. “Yes, Julian. I have an heir, someone who has already taken charge of everything I have, someone who has already proven to be more worthy than you are ever going to be.” Lord Walker nodded in satisfaction while Julian gas
The Rising Phoenix: Devisee’s escapade. Hostage
Jason wanted to make a move to free himself from the grip of the man behind him, but the sight of the dagger pressed against his neck made him not to. “Don’t try to play hero, boy! This will only end badly for you!” Julian warned Bruce who had already pointed his gun at him, ready to shoot, but Julian was clever enough to hide every part of his body behind Jason, making it very difficult for him to aim. “You are making a very terrible mistake, Julian! We can settle this amicably, not this way!” Lord Walker said with a voice laced with a little distress. At that moment, the fear of losing Jason gripped him completely, and he took interval glances at him, feeling terrible for putting him in harm’s way. “Julian? Let my Grandson go! Let him go!”“Never, Pops! I am not going to do that! I am going to kill him, and he will die just like his stupid father! Everything will be mine! The houses! The cars! All the money! All of it!” Julian dragged Jason backward, while he continued holdin
The Rising Phoenix: Devisee’s escapade. Tranquilizer
Following the sound of the deafening bang that erupted from a distance not far away from where Jason was standing, Julian fell down at once, and dropped the dagger on the floor, letting go of Jason who gasped at once, relieved that he was able to breathe normally. “Young Master? Are you okay?” Harry said anxiously, running toward Jason who placed his left hand on his neck, and touched some of the blood on the cut. He looked at his hand afterward and saw that the blood wasn’t much. “Are you okay?” “I am fine, Harry. Is it bad?” Jason gestured to the injury on his neck while Harry looked at the injury for a few seconds before he shook in head. “It’s not that bad, but we will get it treated,” Harry said calmly, and then he looked at Julian who was sprawled on the floor with his eyes tightly shut. “Julian? Julian?” Lord Walker voiced out as he staggered toward his son who didn’t make any move no matter how hard he tried to call out to him. Bruce saw that he was struggling to wal
The Rising Phoenix: Devisee’s escapade. Strange occurrence
An hour close to the close of work, Jason dressed up in a nice black suit with lovely brown shoes to match. He wore the most expensive Hublot wristwatches in his collection and applied a nice cologne. He grabbed everything he needed, and then he headed out of his room with his evergreen smile intact. The thoughts of the revelation Julian made about killing his father wanted to make him feel really bad, but he had spent the previous hours getting over it, and decided to worry less since it wasn’t going to change anything, but that didn’t mean he wasn’t going to get justice. Hallway to the elevator, he saw Harry walking out of Lord Walker’s room with a tray containing an empty teacup and saucer. “Harry? You are back?” “Yes, Young Master. I came back about an hour ago, but it seemed like you were taking a nap.”“Oh, yes. I decided to take some rest before going to my meeting with the employees in the company.” Jason sighed just before he noticed that the empty cup on the tray wa
The Rising Phoenix: Devisee’s escapade. Imaginary Promotion
Jason waited patiently for Meredith to approach while he wondered what she was doing there, knowing fully that she didn't work there, and didn’t have any qualifications for that to the best of his knowledge. “Meredith? What are you doing here?” Jason asked calmly as soon as Meredith stood in front of him. His eyes went to the basket she was carrying, and he saw that there was a bottle of wine, some fruits, and cupcakes inside it. “I should be the one asking you what you are doing here, Jason. Dressed like that…” Meredith gave Jason a look of disdain while he stood calmly with his evergreen smile intact. “I don’t know where you got this fancy suit from, but I think this is the only time I have ever seen you look decent. You have always been a shabby-looking pauper, Jason.” Meredith scoffed, but Jason decided to ignore her peskiness.“You still haven’t told me why you are here, Meredith, and with all the things in that basket. Is there a fest or something?”“And how is that any
The Rising Phoenix: Devisee’s escapade. Right in front of You
Jason was satisfied with everything he heard from the two Managers of the company. He heaved a heavy sigh of relief, and then he pushed the door slowly, opening it wider before he looked at Declan who looked at his direction as soon as he saw him walking in. Xena looked as well, and as soon as she saw Jason walking in with James right behind him, she glared at them from hair to toe. She tried to recall where she had seen Jason, but because he was looking different, she found it a little difficult until he was very close to her. “Hello, Mr. Coleman!” Jason greeted the Manager who observed his face for a while before he was able to recognize him. “Mr. Caruso? Is that you?” Declan said with his brows forming arches while he looked at Jason with so much surprise on his face. He looked at James who was standing behind Jason, and thoughts of who he was ran through his mind in a flash. “Hello, Miss Hunt.” Jason waved at Xena with a smile on his face, and that was when she was able
The Rising Phoenix: Devisee’s escapade. The New CEO
Again, Declan was flabbergasted after listening to the words he heard from the young man seated in front of him. His heartbeat increased each time he looked at the face of Jason who didn’t look like he was joking, and even when he looked at the guard standing behind him, he didn’t find any of their faces soothing. “Who amongst you is the new CEO of this company?” Declan said with a shaky tone, and then he swallowed hard saliva while struggling to maintain eye contact with Jason who chuckled as soon as he asked the question. “Who do you think, Mr. Coleman?” Jason said calmly, and then he turned to look at James for a few seconds before returning his gaze to Declan. “Do you think he is the new CEO? Or do you think I am he?” Jason lifted his eyebrows while he waited to get a response from the Manager who looked at him for a while and then looked at James who made no move even with the way he was looking at him. “The new CEO’s name is Jack Walker, he is the Grandson of Lord Walker

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

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
