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
The Rising Phoenix: Devisee’s escapade. Close
Jason stood in front of the house, his eyes gazing upon the sky while the afternoon rays of sunlight hit his skin, almost causing it to glitter. His mind was occupied with several thoughts, but he was determined to carry out all the plans he wished to accomplish. Slowly, he took in a deep breath, and as soon as he let it out, Harry walked up to him, causing him to turn instantly to look at him until he stood right beside him, a deadpan expression on his face. “Everything is in motion, Young Master. The Shipment should arrive in the next few hours, and they will be taken to the location at once.” “Good, Harry. That’s good…” Jason nodded in satisfaction and after a few seconds of pausing, he continued with a voice a little above a whisper. “I need you to make sure that my Grandfather is well-protected while I am away, Harry. This entire Villa should be guarded with as many men as possible. Henry will be here with Brenda, and they should be protected as well.” “I already have
The Rising Phoenix: Devisee’s escapade. 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

Marry me
It had been a month since Julius was brought out of prison, and everything was going as everyone had hoped for. He had been of good conduct, keeping to the conditions that were given to him by Jason. But that didn’t mean that any chances could be taken with him. His reputation as a notorious criminal who had claimed lives made it quite difficult to trust him. The fact that he had been exonerated from the guilt of his actions was too much grade for him, and it would have been foolish of him to let it go to waste. He had spent the entire month begging for Shirley’s forgiveness, but she kept her distance, maintaining a mutual relationship with him which was based on the fact that they had a child together. Xavier on the other hand was old enough to understand that sometimes things don’t always go the way we want them. Even though he wished that his parents could be together someday, he also knew that his mother was only trying to be safe. She didn’t want to have to repeat the sam
Conditional Freedom
Days turned to weeks, and then to a month. Jason fulfilled his promise to Xavier and made sure he went to one of the best schools in the city. He knew that the boy still thought about his father even though he stopped talking about him, probably because his mind was occupied with school assignments, and some of the things Jason got him involved in just to make sure he stayed away from silly acts. Seated with Lord Walker, Jason waited patiently for the old man to speak, aware of what was about to be heard. “Jack?” Lord Walker leaned forward before he continued. “I know that Julius isn’t particularly the best Uncle in the entire world, but he is still family. I know that this is a very difficult decision for you to make. But you have to do this for the sake of the boy…” Lord Walker paused for a few seconds just to be certain that Jason was listening to him. He sighed softly and continued with a more audible tone. “Keeping him there way cause be painful for the boy even thoug
Reunion
Standing in front of Jason was Clark, the same best friend who turned out to be one of his enemies. He had lost his charm and confidence and almost looked like a better. He couldn’t even look at Jason for more than a few seconds before he bent his face to the ground in shame. It appeared that his outfit was oversized, but that was only proof that he had lost a lot of weight. “Why are you here, Clark? I am sure you didn’t just come to stare at me.” Jason broke the silence between them, staring at Clark with a smirk on his face. Brenda would have asked a few questions, but as soon as Jason mentioned the name of the man standing in front of them, she remembered some of the stories he told him about how his best friend betrayed him and went after his wife. She was only interested to know why Clark was there. “I am here to ask for your forgiveness, Jason. I also want to appreciate you for getting me out of jail.” Clark managed to say with a shaky tone. He couldn’t even look at Ja
I am Pregnant!
It had been three days since Xavier and his mother pleaded that Julius be set free but nothing had been done about it. Jason was taking his time to make a decision about his step-uncle’s fate. It seemed like it was going to take more time before he could be able to come t a conclusion. Lord Walker himself was wondering why Jason had not said anything about it, but he also knew that he was worried about his safety. After seeing and hearing what Julius was capable of, Jason had no other option than to keep the decision pending until he was done with some of the plans he had in mind. First, he enrolled Xavier in high school. He attended one of the best schools in Granada Hills, and the goal was to make sure that the young man didn’t need up on the streets ever again. Shirley on the other hand was going through a rehabilitation process. She was made to speak to someone and undergo struct measures of check which were often conducted to make sure she didn’t go back to her old habi
Release Him
The next day, it was finally time to bring back Lord Walker from the hospital after his recovery. Jason went together with the Butler, Brenda, and Xavier who insisted that he was going to go with them. Not only was he eager to see his mother, but he also wanted to see his Grandfather who almost sacrificed himself for his sake. By the time they arrived at the hospital, the old man was already seated on the bed while one of the nurses attending to him handed him over his drugs and a glass of water. “Thank you, my dear.” He said to the nurse as soon as he was done with his medication while he handed over the empty glass to her. He turned to his visitors and the brightness of his face increased at once, causing him to gesture to them at once. “I know what you are about to say, Jack…” He shook his head, but that wasn’t going to stop Jason from expressing himself. “That was really silly, Grandpa! You almost got yourself killed!” Jason walked up to the old man ahead of the other
Retribution
Xavier hesitated for a while, but he eventually mustered the guts to move. “Go ahead.” Jason urged him as soon as he took the first steps, and he continued moving, eyes on his father who was shocked to see him. Julius could tell that Xavier was truly his son, he didn’t think he needed any DNA to prove that. The resemblance was alarming, and the fact that the boy reminded him of himself when he was about the same age was enough. But he didn’t seem like he was the proudest father at that moment. He was glad that he had been given the opportunity to see his son, but he was equally ashamed of himself. Unable to get closer to the iron bars, he stood where he was, waiting patiently for Xavier to get closer to him. The boy stood in front of his father, staring at him without knowing what exactly he was supposed to say at that moment. The reunion wasn’t as pleasant as he had expected it to be. Father and son remained for over a minute, but their eyes said a lot to each other while
His Father
With their panic rising, Jason and Brenda paced along the hallway, waiting for anyone to come out of the theater. It had gotten so long that Jason had to send for Cara who came along with some guards to take Henry back to the Villa while they continued waiting anxiously. Eventually, the Doctor came out of the theater dripping with sweatballs that ran down his face. “Doctor?! What’s going on?” Jason asked anxiously, but instead of giving him a response, the Doctor moved to Brenda and whispered some words into her ear, making sure that Jason wasn’t going to hear their conversation. Brenda responded with a whisper as well before the Doctor nodded and hurried back to the theater without saying a word to Jason whom he only stared at while he expected him to say something. “Why didn’t he say anything to me?! What did he say, babe? Talk to me!” Jason moved closer to Brenda who looked like she didn’t know how to tell him what the Doctor whispered into her ear. “Brenda?” Jason call
Seizure
Brenda was silent for a while, but Jason was patient enough to wait for a response to his question. Firstly, she grabbed Henry from Jason and made sure he was sitting comfortably on her legs. She took in a deep breath which she let out slowly before she turned to look at Jason. “I am listening, Brenda. What were you guys discussing back there?”“Nothing really. Just girls’ talk.” “Okay?” Jason featured with both hands, indicating that he wanted to hear more details about their discussion. “I thought you said you were not so much interested in her, Jay. Why bothering to ask what we were discussing?”“Me? When did I say that?”“Well, you implied it.” Brenda shrugged, looking at Jason with a smirk on her face. “Just tell me what you guys were talking about back there, Brenda. She could have said something that needs to be verified by me. No other person knows her like I do.” Jason insisted. “Okay, fine.” Brenda sighed. “I was just worried about the way she looked, that’s
Motherhood
The sight of his ex-wife made Jason sigh, his previous countenance gave way for a frown that appeared as he stared at Isabella who managed to push the two guards aside because they let her do so. But they went after her and grabbed her at once, restraining her efforts to get close to Jason or her son. “Jason! Tell them to let me go! Let me go! Let me go!” Isabella continued to struggle with the guards, but she eventually got tired, panting in exhaustion while Jason and Brenda watched her with a little surprised written all over their faces. Henry recognized his biological mother, but it didn’t look like he was really concerned or excited to see her. He just stared at her as though he was trying to recall where he met her. “Tell them to let me go, Jason! Please.” Isabella pleaded, but Jason wasn’t really interested in the words that she uttered. What made him curious was the fact that she looked very unkempt and malnourished. It had been a few weeks since he last saw her, and h
