The Rising Phoenix: Devisee’s escapade. Did you ever love her?
Brenda adjusted herself almost immediately, and when she was certain that she was comfortable on the couch, she cleared her throat before she spoke with a whisper. “You do?” She asked, and Jason nodded with a smile on his face.“Yes, Brenda.” Jason resounded after a few seconds, discarding the silence that was accompanied by a deep stare from Brenda who chuckled afterward. “That’s nice, that’s really good to hear.” She said with a whisper, and then she bent her face to the ground, avoiding the eyes of Jason who looked at her with excitement. “Brenda?” Jason lifted her face gently and looked her in the eyes while she blinked with her mouth agape without even realizing it. “I know that this might be leading to something really beautiful, but I want us to take it one step at a time. You know that I just got out of a rough marriage with my ex-wife, and I also have a son whom I wouldn't want to impose on you. Being a mother can be really tough…” “I know, I understand,” Brenda sa

Brenda returned a few seconds later with her shoes and purse in her hands while Jason leaned forward from the chair, and looked at her. “Are you set?” He asked, looking at her clothes that looked a bit shabby with her top stained with a few drops of wine. Seeing that Jason was staring at her outfit, Brenda looked at herself, and that was when she realized that she was not looking entirely presentable at that moment. “I think I need a change of clothes.” She grunted in annoyance, and then she went through the ideas that came to her but none of them looked viable except the one she was trying to avoid. She looked at Jason with a very pitiable countenance and demanded politely, hoping that she was going to get a positive response from him. “Could you please take me home? I really need to change this outfit, and I don’t wanna be late for my appointment. My Patient is a lady who is desperate to have a child, and I don’t want to make her feel bad by not showing up at the hospital

Jason nodded in response, and then he drove through the driveway that led to the house before he parked in front of it, and turned off the engine. “We are here.” He turned to look at Brenda who nodded almost immediately. “Yes, thank you. I will just hurry inside and change. I hope you don’t mind waiting for me.” “That’s okay.” Jason nodded with a smile and Brenda opened the door before she alighted from the car. “On a second thought…” She stopped herself from shutting the door almost immediately, turning to look at Jason who was still staring at her. “Why don’t you come inside and I can make you a cup of coffee? You are already here, you might as well come in.” “Are you sure? I wouldn’t want you to be late for your appointment.” Jason said calmly even though he liked the idea of going into her house. “It's fine, I am sure that I can spare a few minutes. Come on, I insist…” Brenda gestured to him with an anticipatory smile on her face, and then she waited patiently for hi

Brenda walked closer to Jason, and then she stood a few inches away from him with her purse in both hands. “Are you set?” “Yeah, I will take care of that later. There is no time.” Brenda looked at the cup and saucer on the stool briefly before she turned to look at Jason who nodded at once. “Let’s go then.” Jason led the way, and Brenda followed almost immediately while she brought out her key from her purse, and locked the door as soon as she was out of the house. Jason unlocked the door to the car and opened the front seat for her, gesturing to her to get in with a bright smile that expressed his admiration for both her beauty and her apparel. “Thank you.” Brenda chuckled while she got into the car, and lifted the tail of her gown before Jason shut the door and went into the car from the other side. He turned on the ignition of the car at once and drove straight to the hospital while Brenda pulled out her phone from her purse, and started to operate it. “What? That wa
The Rising Phoenix: Devisee’s escapade. Consent
Jason locked the car as soon as he got out, and then he went into the hospital with Brenda walking several meters ahead of him. Just like Jason, the nurses marveled the moment they saw Brenda walking toward her office, and even some of the people seated by the corner of the Reception couldn’t stop staring. “You look amazing, Doctor Brenda.” Said one of the nurses, causing Brenda to chuckle softly before she responded with a smile on her face. “Thank you so much, nurse Catherine.” She said as soon as she slowed down, and then she continued with her previous pace, waving at some of the people seated by the corner of the Reception. The moment Jason walked into the hospital and the nurses on duty saw him, they began to whisper words to themselves, giggling at the things they said to each other. Jason realized that they were talking about him from the way they stole glances at him, but he ignored them and continued walking toward his Grandfather’s ward. He got in eventually, a
The Rising Phoenix: Devisee’s escapade. Take a Break
Jason stayed with his Grandfather for a few minutes until he remembered that he was supposed to have a meeting with Kelvin who had called him earlier. “Grandpa? I really have to go now, I have an appointment and it’s really important.” Jason said to his Grandfather who gave him an inquisitive stare. “You should be more interested in making Brenda your girlfriend at least before making her your wife. You should be thinking of going on another date with her.” Lord Walker teased, looking at Jason with a smile on his face. “You really don’t want to give up, old man.” “Oh no. I don’t plan to give up anytime soon. What I want you to do is settle down as soon as possible, and I will be out of your case.” Lord Walker lifted both hands and then he looked at Harry for support, but the Butler wasn’t sure of what to say. “I think you should talk to him, Harry. He probably thinks he is still a teenager. When I was your age, I was already married.” “Good Lord! Grandpa? Are you not going
The Rising Phoenix: Devisee’s escapade. The Syndicate
Meanwhile, Jason texted an address to Kelvin a few minutes after he had driven out of the hospital premises, and then he drove to the address himself with so much anticipation written all over his face. The address he sent was an abandoned warehouse, and as soon as he arrived, he scoured the entire vicinity to be sure he was alone just before he turned off the engine of the vehicle, and sighed softly. In less than thirty minutes, he heard a tap on the window close to him, and he turned to see that Kelvin had arrived. Instantly, he unlocked the car to let him in, and Kelvin got in at once, carrying his brown backpack which he dropped on his lap as soon as he shut the door. “Good day to you, Young Master.” “Thank you, Kelvin. Thank you for coming on such short notice.” “Not a problem at all,” Kelvin responded with a smile that appeared a few seconds after he greeted Jason who nodded with a smile as well. “I hope you have some good news for me, Kelvin,” Jason asked with a l

Kelvin was silent for a few seconds while he thought about the question Jason asked him. It became obvious afterward that he wasn’t sure of the right response to give to him, and Jason sighed while he gave up any form of expectation to get any substantial response from him. “I don’t think I got anything related to that from my findings, Young Master. Dalton did most of his business with foreign clients, and even though his establishment was located in this city, it was only open to those foreigners who flew in from several countries all over the world to see him. I don’t think he had any affiliation with your family, Young Master.” Jason sighed again when Kelvin was done talking, and after he had stared at the screen of the laptop for a few seconds, he cleared his throat while the thoughts that he had in his mind continued to linger. “How does this relate to my Grandfather? Why would he want to kill him if they didn't ave anything to do with each other?” Jason whispered only to
