The Rising Phoenix: Devisee’s escapade. Taylor’s Palate
Jason walked out of the building and then headed straight to the car with slow but steady steps. As soon as James saw him coming out of the building, he quickly got out of the car and opened the back door for Jason to get in. “Thank you, James. I hope I didn’t keep you waiting for so long.” “Not at all, Young Master. I was occupied throughout the time you were not around.” James said cheerfully, showing Jason the phone he was holding in his hand. Jason chuckled almost immediately, and then he nodded with a smile on his face. “Well, I hope she is worth it, and I wish you the very best.” “Thank you, Young Master,” James said calmly, while he waited for Jason to get into the car before closing the door. Jason sat on the back seat of the car, and then rested his head on it, and sighed heavily, closing his eyes for a few seconds as he was suddenly reminded by his body that he had done some work that he had not done in a while. James got into the car as well, and then he loo

As soon as James started going into the restaurant, Jason followed him immediately. “Nice.” Jason nodded in satisfaction as he looked around the interior of the restaurant which had lovely chandeliers shaped like the moon handing on several angels of the large dining hall. “Where would you like to sit, Young Master?” James asked after taking a few steps into the dining hall. “Hmmm? Let me see.” Jason looked around for a while until he saw a spot he was comfortable with. “There, I think I like it over there.” Jason pointed to a spot by the right-end corner of the dining hall that looked like it was almost secluded from the rest of the spots in the restaurant. James nodded as soon as he looked and saw the spot Jason was talking about, and then he started moving toward it ahead of Jason who followed him after a few seconds of staring. The hall was half-filled, with low disco music playing in the background. The thick curtains hanging by the windows came along with golden embr

Jason was silent for a while, but Harry didn’t mind waiting for as long as it was going to take for him to get a response from Jason. While Jason was still going through his mind for the right response to give to Harry, James turned to look at him, and that was when he realized that he was still on a call. “Harry? Are you still there?” “Yes, Young Master. I am here.” Harry responded with a low tone, and then Jason modded before he spoke after a few seconds. “Call the Chief finance officer of the company, and tell him to prepare a detailed report beginning from the year before Xena took over as Assistant Manager.” “Okay, Young Master. I will do that right away.” “That’s not all, Harry. I also want to have a meeting with all the officers in the company, beginning from the Manager to the lowest officer in the company. I want you to inform them that the new CEO will be coming in tomorrow and that none of them should miss the meeting for any reason.” “Oh, really? This i

Jason thought of the question James asked for a split-second, and then he sighed heavily and rested his head on the seat. “Take me back to the hospital, I need to go see my son.” “At once.” James nodded, and then he turned on the ignition of the car and zoomed away without saying any other word. In less than fifteen minutes, they arrived at the hospital as the distance from the restaurant to the hospital where Brenda worked wasn’t up to ten kilometers. As soon as James parked the car in front of the hospital and turned off the engine, Jason got down almost immediately, and then he got into walked into the hospital and met with the nurse at the reception. “Hi.” He waved at the nurse who withdrew her eyes from the screen of the monitor in front of her and looked at Jason with a smile on her face. “Hello, Sir. Welcome to our hospital. How may I help you?” “I am here to see Doctor Brenda. Is she available?” Jason asked calmly, but he was surprised to see that the nurse had a

“Of course. It has to be her.” Jason sighed with a smile on his face as soon as he saw who the caller was, and he looked at Brenda who was already staring at him, wondering why he stopped. “I have to take this call, I will be right back,” Jason said to Brenda who observed the countenance on his face and nodded without saying a word. Jason slowly moved out of the room, and as soon as he got to a secluded spot in the hallway, he answered the call and placed it on his right ear. “Jason! Where the hell are you? What have you done to my son? I came to the hospital only to be told that you took him with you, along with some silly Doctor! Where are you? Tell me where you are!” Jason was forced to take the phone away from his ear almost immediately, while he scoffed at the words Isabella blurred out with so much furry as soon as he answered the call. “Hello? I know you are there, Jason! I know you can hear me! Listen to me, I am going to make sure I get you locked up for kidnappin

“No problem at all, I am hod I could help. Let me see you off,” Brenda replied with a smile, and then she turned toward the door behind Jason and started walking toward it slowly, Jason followed her almost immediately, and they walked out of the hospital with the nurse looking at them with a bright smile on her face, trailing them until they were out of sight. As soon as James saw them approaching, he got out of the car and opened the backdoor for Jason who stood beside the car with his son still resting on his shoulder and Brenda standing next to him. “So, I will see you in the evening?” Jason asked with a smile on his face, but Brenda acted really confused as she mumbled some words that he couldn't understand. “I thought you were supposed to come check on my Grandfather.” “Oh, that?” Brenda scoffed, and then she cleared her throat while Jason waited for her response. “Definitely, I will be there.” “Good. I will see you then, I have to go now.” Jason waved at Brenda, a

“Yeah, yeah. I am fine.” Rose cleared her throat almost immediately, and then she sighed heavily to let go of the emotions that were cringed up in her. “Are you sure? You are crying.” Jason looked at Rose with so much concern. “I am sorry. It’s just that he reminds me so much of my younger brother.” “Oh, really? You never mentioned that you had a brother. Where is he now?” Jason asked with a curious smile on his face which turned into a worrisome expression as soon as he saw the tears that continued to trickle down Rose’s face as she tried to respond to his question. She looked at the baby almost immediately and sniffled. “What is it, Rose? Did I say something wrong?” “No, you didn’t. I am sorry.” Rose said with a shaky voice, but Jason wasn’t convinced that she was telling the truth. “Then what is it? Why are you crying?” Jason asked almost immediately, looking at his son who moved almost immediately. He looked at Rose who still had her eyes on the baby, and she could t

Jason stared at the screen of his phone for a few seconds as soon as he ended the call with the Attorney, and then he sighed heavily. Not long after, his phone began to ring again, and he looked at the screen to see who was calling. He chuckled as soon as he saw the name of the caller displayed on his screen.Slowly, he answered the call and placed the phone on his right ear without saying a word while he maintained a smile on his face. “You are not going to say anything, you bastard!” The caller roared from his own end of the line when he realized that Jason had been silent for over five seconds. Jason chuckled almost immediately, and then he looked at his son to be sure that he wasn’t going to wake him up with his voice. “Clark, Clark, Clark. To what do I owe this call? I didn’t even realize that you still had my number. Do you still remember that you told me that I was not in your league?” “You are crazy! That’s not the reason why I called you!” Clark said with a voice l

Joe’s Cafe
The waitress discovered that two men were walking toward her, and adjusting herself with a welcoming smile on her face, she greeted them warmly. “Hello, Sir. Welcome to Joe’s Café. Do you need anything?” “Yes. Hello. We are looking for a lady called Shirley. I was told she works here.” Jason said with a smile as well, looking at the waitress whose countenance showed that she didn’t know who he was talking about. “Shirley? I don’t think I know any Shirley who works here, Sir. I am new here, but I can get you someone who could know.” “Yes, please! Thank you so much.” Harry said calmly, gesturing to the waitress who nodded before walking away, holding onto the small notepad and pen she had in her hands. “I really hope this ends well,” Jason said with a whisper, sighing firstly while he kept his eyes on the path the waitress took. The waitress returned in less than a minute with another waitress who looked older and more experienced than her. “Hello, Sirs. My name is Nora. I

Bring Him Home
For a few seconds, Jason remained silent, but it didn’t seem like that was going to solve anything. The old man was still waiting to get a response from him, and Harry was interested to know the outcome of their meeting as well. Adjusting himself to get a more comfortable posture, Jason cleared his throat and sighed before he spoke with a voice that almost sounded like a whisper. “He has a son.” He said calmly, but his words were too heavy for the other men in the room to remain as calm as he was. Lord Walker knew Jason to be a man who didn’t joke with such things but for a second, he remained calm, hoping that he was going to say he was joking. Maybe he meant to say something else. “A son?” “Yes, Grandpa. He has a son.” “Julius has a son?” Lord Walker leaned forward, and grabbed the half-empty glass of water which he consumed before returning it to the table. “Are you okay, Lord Walker?” Harry asked, moving closer to the old man who raised his hands to stop him from g

I Know!
The rays from the sunlight were shining brightly through the casement windows inside the bedroom. The curtains were half closed, giving way to the rays that hit Brenda’s eyes while she groaned in her sleep. As though there was a force, she opened her eyes instantly, only to behold the sight of shirtless Jason sitting close to her with a tray in both hands. “Wakie wakie! I was worried that too were not going to wake up on time to see this.” Jason had a beautiful smile on his face while he looked at Brenda who adjusted herself slowly, sitting up while she looked at the tray he was carrying. “What’s that?” “Oh! This? I made you breakfast! I had to wake up early just to make sure that everything worked as I planned. Here…” Jason opened the dish cover to reveal the egg and sausages on the plate next to a cup of black coffee. “I tried making the coffee just like you do. I hope I tried.” Jason handed the cup of coffee to Brenda who blew on the coffee before taking a sip. “Easy! I

Special Announcement
While everyone sat comfortably, eating and drinking everything that had been set on the table, Jason picked up the glass of wine in front of him, and after looking at his Grandfather and getting the signal from him, he nodded before lifting the glass. “I have a special announcement!” He hit his fork on the brim of the glass, drawing the attention of everyone seated at the table who instantly put a hold t what they were doing, and paid keen attention to him. Everyone seemed curious to know what he was about to say except the old man who was already done eating his veggies and wiped his lips with a napkin while he maintaining a grin on his face. “First of all, I want to thank Harry for bringing his lovely family to dinner. It’s such a pleasure to have you all here. Family is everything, family is life, and I am happy that he has such a beautiful family.” Jason lifted the glass toward Harry who bowed gently, still wondering what he was up to. “Harry here has been working with thi

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
