The Rising Phoenix: Devisee’s escapade. Fireback!
The ride from the Police Station down to the Palmer resident seemed like the longest ride for Mr Vin notwithstanding the fact that the distance between them wasn’t so far off. He continued to wipe the sweat balls that emerged from his pores at several intervals. “Could you be a little bit faster Mr Vin?” Jason said to the man whose hands were really shaky and clutched tightly on the steering wheel. “Yeah that’s better now.” Jason said with a smile on his face as soon as the Chief of Police increased the speed of the vehicle. “Don’t worry, this would be over very soon. All you have to do is to arrest your lovely daughter for wrongly accusing me, her husband and also Jacob for assault. Very much easy.” Jason said with a smirk on his lips but that made Mr Vin’s heart beat faster as he wished he had not gotten himself involved in such a situation that was about to make him do the unthinkable. “Who arrests his own daughter?” He thought to himself as he shook his head in uttermost d
The Rising Phoenix: Devisee’s escapade. Apprehension
“What?” Fiona was the first to speak as she came out from the house through the door. The rest of the people standing very close to her raised their eyebrows and widened their eyes to be sure that what they heard was what the Chief of Police said. Maya twitched her eyes severally to see if her father was actually serious or if she was hallucinating but Mr Vin didn’t budge. “Dad? Is this some kind of joke?” Maya asked with a low tune as she stared at her father who bent his face almost immediately avoiding his daughter’s eyes. Andrew could have sworn that the Chief of Police was playing some kind of prank, but he had always known him to be a serious minded person who had no time for silly jokes. He looked at him carefully for the second time and found himself just as confused as his wife. “Dad? Say something.” Maya said again with a shaky voice as she watched her father stand both motionless and speechless at the same time. “Mr Prescott this is really some kind of expensive j
The Rising Phoenix: Devisee’s escapade. Silence
“Isabella?” Chloe called out, but she met only silence as the young lady seemed to be out of words following the way everything had played out. “Miss Fiona?” Chloe turned towards the middle aged woman, but she was as confused as her daughter. “Look, we have to do something. They just took my husband! How the hell is that even possible? How can Maya’s father have her arrested? I think I am dreaming, someone should wake me up.” Chloe continued, then she pinched herself to be certain that she wasn’t dreaming. She truly confirmed it with the slight pain she felt in her hand after she had pinched herself. “I need some drink.” Isabella announced, then she turned towards the door and went into the house ignoring the drama Chloe was acting. “I think I will join you too.” Fiona said almost immediately, then she gradually turned around and met with her daughter. “Are you guys just gonna leave me here alone? We need to go get them, we can’t just let them be taken away like that. This i
The Rising Phoenix: Devisee’s escapade. The Mall
“Hello?” Jason called out to the the Mall attendant again wondering why she was acting as though she didn’t hear him but she still didn’t respond for the second time. “Thanks so much for your assistance Judy, I better be going now.” “Oh thank you Mr Billy for shopping with us.” The mall attendant replied to a man in blue tuxedo suit walking towards the exit of the mall with two ladies in stylish gowns following him behind and carrying heavy files bags not so eager to let go of the smiles on their faces. The man turned to face the doors but then his eyes met with Jason who was at a close distance to the mall attendant, he looked at him from the crown of his hair down to his shoes and scoffed, then he left. “Come on ladies, we still have a lot of things to do.” “Yes Mr Billy!” The ladies behind him said at once with so much excitement on their faces as they followed the man almost brushing Jason aside. The look he got from the man made Jason take a careful look at himself, t
The Rising Phoenix: Devisee’s escapade. Hot Seat
Jason turned towards the man who seemed to be in a hurry but not as much as he was, apparently he was trying to meet up with someone as he continuously looked towards the door. “Please Sir, kindly exercise some patience while I finish up with this gentleman right here.” The shop attendant seated behind the counter said to the man with a polite tone and a smile on his face but the man wasn’t in the mood to listen to him. Looking at Jason with close observation, he scoffed at him after he made a snigger, then he looked at the time on his Rolex wrist watch and stumped his right foot on the floor. “I don’t see any gentleman here, are you really going to make me wait while you attend to him?” He said pointing his finger at Jason with an inquisitive stare on his face. Jason felt really offended by his words, but he wasn’t really in the mood to fight with anyone, his major concern was getting back to his son before he would have woken up knowing fully that he would have been hungry b
The Rising Phoenix: Devisee’s escapade. Pesky Couple
“I am sorry my love, I would have been out of this place a long time ago, if not for this man that seems to have a problem letting rich people enjoy their privileges.” “Huh? What the hell.” Richard’s Fiancee smirked, then she took a thorough look at Jason following Richard’s eyes that kept on taking looks of disdain at Jason. “What’s his problem? Does he want some cash or something? Maybe you can offer him some.” “That’s a nice idea Annie, how come I didn’t think about that?” Richard said looking at his fiancee with a smile on his face, then he sighed and dipped his right hand into the pocket if his jacket and pulled out a hundred dollar bill. Extending his hands towards Jason, he gestured to him to take the cash. “This should be more than enough to get you a decent meal and probably a change of clothes.” Richard said looking all over Jason’s rough shirt and pants. Seeing what had happened, Annie sniggered excitedly with her eyes still glaring at Jason’s rumpled cloths. She
The Rising Phoenix: Devisee’s escapade. Memories
Jason looked at Annie trying to recall if he could remember her but as much as the face looked a little but familiar, he wasn’t still able to remember. “Come on babe, let’s go. We have an appointment to catch.” Richard said trying to extend his hands towards Annie. “No babe. Wait, this is truly him.” “Who the hell are you talking about?” Richard asked looking to see if he could be able to remember who his fiancee was talking about. “The Live-in-Son-in-law of the Palmers. Or should I say, the ex husband to Isabella Palmer? She really was lucky to have chased you off.” Annie scoffed, then she looked at Jason with so much disdain rolling her eyes at him. “Babe? This is Jason? The same man that was stupid enough to pour a drink on you?” “Yes babe. This is the pathetic lunatic. I kept on wondering what Isabella even saw in him.” Annie replied Richard still looking at Jason with so much contempt. As soon as Jason heard the words Annie spoke, he started to join the dots toget
The Rising Phoenix: Devisee’s escapade. Intense!
“What!” Jason’s eyes glared in shock at the words that came out of Richard’s mouth. Betty as well looked very shocked to hear the ridiculous request of the pesky man. “Yes. That’s what I want, you have to kneel and apologize. Saying it is not enough.” Annie said in support of her fiancé. “You can’t be serious. You expect me to kneel before you and apologize, are you a goddess ?” “Well to you I am a goddess and you will do just that, now kneel!” Annie said with an imperative voice but her words only made Jason get really upset. “You sound really so galling right now, I can’t believe I would be here listening to all these things that you are saying.” Jason said looking at the couple who continued to glare at him in a disparage. “I think I have had enough of this mess. Please pack up these items, I need to get out of this place.” Jason concluded with a firm voice as his anger started to rise gradually above the air. Betty didn’t say a word, instead she did as Jason instr

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
