The Rising Phoenix: Devisee’s escapade. Ultimatum
Rebecca scoffed, and then she walked over to Jason from behind the old man, she stopped in front of him, looked at him with disdain, and asked. “What are you going to do about that? Huh?” She leaned her face forward to Jason, the certainty that he wasn’t going to be able to do anything was boldly written on her face, and she would have hit him if not that he was a man and a muscular one at that. “Believe me, Miss, you really wanna make that mistake, this is not going to end well for you.” “Enough fool! I am going to do whatever I like and no one, I mean one will stop me, not even you! So, I will advise that you back off immediately and stay clear.” Rebecca thundered, but her words were not enough to derail Jason. “Please Becca, you can’t do this to me, she is my daughter as well, I should have a say in her life too.” “Well, maybe if you were doing the things men your age are doing, maybe, just maybe, I would have considered you,” Rebecca said in response to her husband’s p

When he was done speaking, Mr. Reynolds picked up his phone from his pocket and proceeded to make a call, Rebecca stood beside him, nodding in satisfaction. “You really have bitten more than you can chew boy, you will suffer for meddling in an affair that has nothing to do with you.” The old man said in intense annoyance, as he continued searching for a number as he scrolled through the contacts on his screen. “Please, don’t waste your time old man, you won’t be getting anything out of that.” Mr. Reynolds was taken aback by the words that Jason spoke, gently, he brought down his phone, with his eyes looking at the young man, and wondering why he had so much confidence and boldness in him. “That’s it, listen to me, you really don’t have to waste your time on that call.” “Don’t listen to him Honey, he is incapable of doing anything, he is just a poor beggar looking for attention,” Rebecca said to Mr. Reynolds, rubbing his chest in an attempt to urge him to continue with what h
The Rising Phoenix: Devisee’s escapade. Ablaze!
Mr. Reynolds looked at Jason for a few seconds, wondering why he had to say those words, even his smile was more confusing and annoying at the same time. “What the hell are you talking about boy? What bad news?” “Go on, you just have to take the calm to find out.” Jason urged with a smile on his face, followed by a gesture of his hands toward the phone that kept on ringing amidst the silence that crept in a few seconds later. Sighing heavily, the old man clicked on the green icon on his screen, and then he placed the phone on his right ear, while everyone waited to find out what was going to happen, amidst the tension that Jason had created with his words, even the bodyguards stood at attention. “Yes, Mr. Davidson, why are you calling me at this hour?” Mr. Reynolds asked the caller at the other end of the line. “What? That’s not possible! It can’t be! I left the building a few hours ago, how can it be on fire?” Jason chuckled slightly in intense satisfaction, as he watched

Jason nodded twice, and then he turned to Jerry and chuckled slightly, while the young man stared at him with so much astonishment. “How desperately do you want to be with your child?” “I really would love that Sir! Nothing else matters to me right now.” Jerry said immediately, with every amount of energy in him. “Good, I like the sound of that,” Jason said, and then he turned to look at Rebecca who was beginning to to become very uncomfortable. “I hope you heard that, he wants to be with his child.” Rebecca looked at Jason, wondering what he meant by those words, her mind was unsettled, and her mouth couldn’t say any words. “Now to you Mr. Reynolds.” “Yes Sir, please Sir, hurry Sir! Just mention whatever it is and consider it done!”“Yes, I am quite aware of that. I know you are a wise man, and you would do anything just to make sure you salvage what is remaining of your legacy. Jason picked up his phone from his pocket again and then dialed Harry’s number before pla

The old man looked at Jason, and when he saw that his eyes were looking in a particular direction, he followed it, and realized that they were staring at Rebecca. “Don’t you think so, Mr. Reynolds?” The old man nodded in agreement, without bothering to think about his response. “Good, now, you will eliminate every form of attachment you have with this lady here, I think your family needs you more, and we can’t afford to leave them stranded.” The old man swallowed hard, still looking at Jason, but everyone was waiting for him to say something in response to Jason’s words. “Come on, Mr. Reynolds, don’t tell me you are really considering this right now.” Mr. Reynolds sighed heavily, and then he turned to face Rebecca who started to smile at him instantly, her little imagination was hopeful that the old man was not going to get rid of her. “Don’t listen to him, honey, we are meant for each other, we love each other, and that’s all that matters.” “Go ahead Mr. Reynolds, rem

“Well, all of that is about to change now,” Jason said in a low tone, causing everyone around him to turn to him, waiting for him to explain what he meant. “You really think there is anything good that can come out from this poor fellow here?” Rebecca said in a teary voice, pointing at Jerry who was surprised that she still chose to speak to him in that matter, notwithstanding the situation. “I have been married to him for three years, and he has shown no attempt at being useful.” She continued, sniffling the tiny tears that had started to drop from her eyes. “He is such a loser, nothing good can come out from him.” “But you married him, were you blind when you married him?” Jason responded to the lady who was still holding onto her peskiness, not minding the fact that things were not going in favor of her. She was speechless for a few minutes, trying to look for a means to justify her argument, but she found none. “All I want is my Child, I will sue him if I have to.” “

There was silence in the area, everyone waited for Jason to speak, and when he came up with the best idea, he brightened up, and turned to Kelvin. “I think I’ve got something suitable for you to do, but you will give me your contact, I will call you soon.” “Thank you so much, Sir, I am grateful,” Kelvin said, taking Jason’s phone from his hand, and inputting his digits. “Here Sir, that’s my phone number,” he said, handing over the phone to him. “That’'s okay, I think you can go back to your duty post, it won’t be fair to act on so much misconduct, just because you are about to get a new job.” “Alright, Sir,” Kelvin said, and then he walked away from them, and went back to his position, very close to the main entrance of the Restaurant. “I don’t know what to say, Sir, this is unbelievable, no one has ever shown me such kindness in my life,” Jerry said, almost shedding tears, as he moved close to Jason, with so much gratitude. “That’'s OK, I just hope you give your daughte

The next morning, as early as the first flicker of dawn, Jason got up from the bed, stretched himself, and then walked into the bathroom to freshen up. A few minutes later, he came out of the bathroom and put on his clothes, the thoughts of his desire for the day kept going through his mind, as he inserted the last button of his sleeve into the hole. Adjusting his collar, Jason sighed heavily, and then he walked out of the cabin, slamming the door behind him. He headed straight to the Palmer residence, walking with slow but steady steps. “That reminds me,” he said halfway to the mansion, and then he stopped, pulled out his phone from his pocket, and then dialed Harry’s number. “Hello, Harry,” he said, immediately he heard the man’s voice from the other end of the line. “Good day to you too, Harry. How is the old man?” When he heard the response from Harry, Jason’s smile gradually started to disappear, amidst the worry that crept into his body. “How bad is it?” He asked

Butler’s Family
Jason was the first to step out of the hot tub before Brenda joined him. Handing over one of the two towels he grabbed to her, he gave her a lovely smile which made her blush while she grabbed the towel, and wrapped her body with it. “You are still staring.” Brenda said with her smile intact, but Jason couldn’t take his eyes away from her, not even for a second. “What am I going to ever do without you? You have brought me so much joy, Brenda.” “Nothing, Jay. You are going to do nothing.” Brenda chuckled while Jason nodded without getting rid of his smile. “You are right. Absolutely nothing, that’s what I am going to do if I ever lose you.” “Well, I am not leaving anytime soon. I am here with you, my love.” Brenda patted Jason on both cheeks before she turned and walked toward the bedroom, holding onto her towel with both hands. “We must hurry, Jay! We are having guests, remember?”“Oh, right! I almost forgot about that!” Jason rushed into the room, and got dressed alongsi

Price to Pay
For a few seconds Jason was silent while he exchanged glances with the couple, not sure of who he was to face. It was obvious that they were expecting to hear him speak, but the silence in the room was killing them, having more effect on Lucas who couldn’t forget the words he said to him. He was afraid that the day of reckoning had come, and it was time to pay for all his crimes. Still unable to stop himself from finger mg, especially at the sight of Ramon who gave him threatening looks, Lucas decided to grab his bottle, hoping to get back some of his composure from a gulp. “What’s that?” Jason’s calm words stopped Lucas from grabbing the bottle from the ground, causing him to remain still while he lifted his face slowly to look at him, patches of guilt all over his face. “I can’t believe this.” Jason scoffs. “You really want to drink right now. You have really drowned yourself in so much alcohol. I bet you dream of drinking while you sleep.” Jason sighed softly, and remain

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
