The Rising Phoenix: Devisee’s escapade. Falsehood
“Wh…Wh.” Isabella stuttered. “Yes, what’s inside this room?” “That is none of your business, Jason, leave this place.” Chloe’s voice resounded from the background. Jason was quiet, and then he looked at the people who had obviously connived against him. “I want to know what is inside the room.” “Who do you think you are to make such a demand?” “Well, if there is nothing suspicious inside the room, don’t you think I can as well look at it, Philip?” “Nonsense! You have no right to make such a demand.” Philip barked angrily at Jason who chuckled indignantly at the situation at hand. “You should get going, Jason, I think working hours are over,” Sarah said with her eyes rolling at Jason in disdain. Jason was quiet, he looked at Sarah and then changed his gaze to his ex-wife who did everything she could to avoid maintaining a long eye contact with him. He sighed, and then gradually he lifted the pacifier in such a way that everyone could see it. “This is not a coincid

Jacob stormed into the hallway and moved toward Jason with so much rage, that he attempted to strangle Jason, but he stood his ground and didn't even flinch. “Babe!” Chloe said and rushed to her husband, giving him a tight embrace with so much excitement written all over her. Sarah was not left out as well, she rushed to Jacob and started to look all over his body, to be sure that he was truly ok. “Did they hurt you? Where is Andrew?” She asked at the same time, but Jacob’s attention was all pointed at Jason who had a smirk on his face. “Welcome Jacob, you look…good,” Jason said after he had taken a short look at Jacob. “You think this is funny.” Jacob snarled in deep anger, but Jason ignored his reaction. “Where is Andrew?” Sarah asked looking behind to see if she was going to see her brother. “Andrew is home too,” Jacob announced with a low but angry tone. “Why is he still here by this time? Why did you allow him to remain here?” Jacob asked, turning her gaze to Isab

“What the hell are you talking about Jason? I can’t heat anything.” Isabella retorted with a smirk on her face, the feeling of guilt pricked her entire conscience. Offended by her words, Jason clenched his fists and breathed fury. “Are you trying to insinuate that I am crazy? Do I look like a child?” “Maybe,” Sarah said with a mocking expression. “No one heard anything except you Jason, I suggest you go check yourself in the hospital, that’s if you can afford the bills.” “Don’t worry dear, I will help him, I think I can spare a few dollars for his sake, even though he clearly doesn't deserve it,” Philip said in response to Isabella’s utterance. Jason ignored them and listened again, placing his left ear closer to the door as the sound he heard suddenly disappeared. “Did you hear anything?” Isabella questioned, her confidence rising all of a sudden. “It is very obvious that he didn’t hear anything Bella, can’t you see the way he is looking so confused.” Sarah retorted

“Henry!” He said aloud, as soon as he swung the door open, and saw the toddler on the bed crying, he had just woken up from sleep and was so frightened when he saw himself alone in an empty room with only a bed and a long table. Jason quickly moved to the bed and grabbed him, patting his bed gently while he rested him on his right shoulder. “I am so sorry son, so sorry you have to pass through this,” Jason said, still caressing his back gently with his right hand. The baby cooed in relief when he rested on his father’s shoulders, and gradually, the little teats in his eyes started to dry out. Morgan was the second person to walk into the room, and when he saw Jason carrying Henry, he turned to look at his family members who bent their heads in shame. “This is despicable,” he said softly to the hearing of everyone around. He looked at his sister with glances of disproval and disappointment at her action. When he was certain that his son was calm, and after checking to see i
The Rising Phoenix: Devisee’s escapade. The Wager
Those words got to Philip, and he would have loved to pounce on Jason immediately. He walked up to Jason who stood beside the staircase waiting for him and gave him a stern look. “You really think so highly of yourself, huh?” “Well, you never can tell, I could be just more than you ever imagined.” Jason retorted with a smirk, but his words only made Philip scoff, and he looked down on him with so much disdain. “You made me look like a fool before my father-in-law,” Philip said in annoyance, but Jason chose not to say anything at that moment, he only maintained a smile that he didn't want to discard. “You really think this is funny, you waltz in here and think you can turn us against each other, do you know who I am?” Jason looked at Philip from the crown of his hair to the sole of his shoes, but he said nothing, only his smile showed that he was having fun. “Didn’t you hear me, boy? I asked a question.” Philip barked again, and this time, he drew closer to Jason as their f

Feeling really famished, Jason decided to go grab something to eat, it was almost night, and he hadn’t had anything to eat. “Where do I go from here?” He asked himself, standing right in front of the gigantic gate of the Palmer residence, his stomach was beginning to rumble, and he yawned at different intervals, with his left hand covering his mouth. “I really need to eat something, or else I lose my breath.” He said to himself, and just as he had wanted to walk toward the road, his eyes caught sight of his shirt, causing him to halt. “There is no way I am going out this way.” Jason sighed, and then he quickly moved over to the cabin behind the lake, he pushed the door and went inside. A few minutes later, he walked out of the cabin, putting on a jacket over the shirt, the same Jacket that was the only thing he was allowed to move out of the mansion with the very day he caught Isabella with his mansion. He walked faintly toward the road, and luckily for him, he sighte
The Rising Phoenix: Devisee’s escapade. Reminiscence
Jason’s attention was drawn immediately to the table behind him, he really wanted to find out what was going on, and apparently, what he felt was the situation was not far-fetched. “Don’t you see that I am doing you a huge favor here? You clearly cannot take care of her with your meager salary, allow me to ease off that burden from you, be a gentleman, and leave.” “I wasn’t talking to you, old man, I was speaking to my wife.” “Well, clearly she doesn’t want to listen to you, how difficult is it to comprehend?” The old man in the fancy grey suit said. He dipped his fork into the mutton chop on his plate, cut it with the knife, and extended his right hand toward the young lady. “Here you go, love.” “Thanks, babe.” The lady said as she leaned forward to the man and dragged out the mutton chop from the fork with her teeth, giggling excitedly. The old man smiled in satisfaction and then he took the napkin on the table and wiped the lips of the lady, as she continued to chuckle in

Rebecca scoffed, and then she burst into a few seconds of laughter, but that didn’t stop the relentlessness of the young man standing beside her. “Did you hear that Honey? He says he will fight me with everything that he has, he doesn’t even have a good job.” “Well, now that you mentioned, I guess he should kiss his job goodbye, let’s see how the pauper is going to feed.” “To hell with you and your job Mr. Reynolds, you can shove it down your throat, I don't need it.” Rebecca gasped at her husband’s words, Mr. Reynolds was not left out as well, his eyes widened, and his brows were raised above their edges as the wrinkles on his face started to appear more visible, exposing his real age behind those nice facials. “Did you just say that to me? What temerity!” “Yes, I did, you have lost every form of respect I had for you, you can't go around treating people like garbage, just because you are rich. I will say whatever I want to say to you, and there is nothing you are an
