The Rising Phoenix: Devisee’s escapade. Confronted
As soon as he came out of the car, Jason handed over a hundred over a hundred dollar note to the driver and stormed off as usual towards the Palmer Residence with the two bags in his hands. “I hope Henry is not awake, he must be really hungry by now.” He said as he hastily strides through the driveway leading to the mansion. His breath running faster along with his steps. In less than ten minutes, he had already gotten into the mansion and made his way towards the staircase in his hastened steps. “There he is, that’s the stupid bastard!” Came the resounding statement from the female voice, causing Jason to turn almost immediately as he had taken only a step upwards. “What the heck did you do to my brothers and Maya?” Sarah’s voice echoed alongside the stern looks from her bloodshot eyes, she was out to unleash her fury. “Good day to you Sarah. How have you been?” Jason said with a smirk on his face. In order not to lose balance, he had to take down his right leg from the fi

“You are not going to watch him disrespect you in that manner and walk away just like that are you?” Sarah said few seconds after Jason made his way upwards with the eyes following him, but her husband had no response to give. “Philip? Can’t you hear me?” “Don’t worry babe, I will handle this.” “But he just walked out on you.” Sarah said insistently pointing at Jason who was almost out of sight. “I said I will handle it.” Philip said in a little harsh tone to his wife, making her to groan in frustration. Jason walked right to the apartment he shared with his wife and widened the door to the room which was halfway open. There on the bed was Isabella snoring away in her sleep under the influence of alcohol. The entire room reeked of the stench of whiskey and vodka. “Henry?” Jason whispered as he hurriedly moved over to the cradle at the corner of the room only to discover that his son was not there. “Where could he be?” He thought to himself, then he gently moved over
The Rising Phoenix: Devisee’s escapade. Henry?
“What the hell do you mean by that?” “Yes! You heard her, where is Henry?” Jason was furious and confused at the same time. He was looking for his son, only for his ex-wife to accuse him of knowing his whereabout. He clutched his fists and suppressed the anger he felt inside, then he exhaled almost all the air he had inhaled and said calmly. “You drink yourself to a stupor and sleep off leaving our son unattended and now you accuse me of being aware of his location. What kind of mother are you?” “I.I” Isabella wanted to lash out at Jason, but the guilt had crept into her mind couldn't let her finish her statement. She gnashed her teeth at him and growled. “Clearly you have nothing to say. How the hell do you call yourself a mother?” Jason turned immediately and left for Isabella’s apartment, leaving the two ladies speechless. He pushed the door, forcing it open, and walked to the corner where the cradle was kept and searched everywhere for his son. “Henry? Henry!” He
The Rising Phoenix: Devisee’s escapade. Composure
Just a look at Jason’s face was enough to tell that he was furious, but the people he was talking to called him a bluff. “It is so funny that you still have the guts to talk Jason, you will have to explain how my son disappeared from his crib.” Jason turned to Isabella just after she had spoken, then he scoffed and smiled at her. “You really don’t want to go this route I promise you.” “Hmm,” Isabella mumbled, rolling her eyes at Jason. “Own it up, man, you know where your son is, you just want to take away her son from her. This is you going against the Divorce Decree.” “And how did you know about that Chloe?” Jason asked with his eyes glaring at Chloe who bent her face almost immediately in order to avoid his eyes. “That doesn’t matter. You have kidnapped that child, and you must provide him.” Sara said almost immediately. Jason turned to Sandra, then he turned to Isabella who stamped her feet on the floor severally with a feigned annoyance. “There are surveillance
The Rising Phoenix: Devisee’s escapade. The Pacifier
Jason scoffed as soon as he heard the words that Morgan said, as though he already knew what the outcome of the call was going to be. He turned to look at the faces of the members of the Palmer family and noticed that they were hopefully confident that Morgan was going to save the day. “Yes, good day to you too. This is Morgan Palmer.” Morgan continued with an unfamiliar tone as though he wasn’t aware that the Chief of Police’s daughter was married to his son. “Mr Vin? Why am I getting the information that you arrested my sons, including your daughter?” Morgan listened to the explanation that the chief of Police was giving from the other end of the line, but he wasn’t happy about it. “Is that enough for you to arrest them? I can’t believe that you would even think of doing such, after everything my father did for you. Do I need to remind you that we supported you to get to that position?” Morgan reminded Mr. Vin with a hoarse tone. The Chief of Police continued to give som

“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

The Man of the Moment
Jason watched the two sisters as they wrapped their arms around each other, glad to have reunited after such a long time. A bright smile appeared on his face, and he began to wish that he had a sibling. The other girls who were awake and close to Nadia’s bed continued watching with keen interest, and at that moment, they were more assured that they were in safe hands since Jason had brought Rose to see her sister, and the doubt they had about their safety began to vanish instantly. Rose whispered some words into her sister’s ear, and even without hearing a word of what she was telling her, Jason could tell that they were talking about him, and within a few seconds, Rose stood up and walked up to him. She refused to let go of her smile while she walked slowly until she stopped a few inches away from him. “Thank you so much! We are very grateful!” Rose didn’t give Jason the opportunity to respond, and she embraced him tightly, shutting her eyes while she wrapped her arms around hi

Unexpected Reunion
Rose walked out of the mansion a few minutes after she was called by one of the guards at Jason’s instruction. She had a curious expression on her face, and it became a little bit intense the moment she set her eyes on Jason who had a strange smile on his face. “Rose? How are you?” Jason’s face brightened up more the moment he set his eyes on Rose, but she was a little bit confused and ignored his question. “You sent for me.” She said calmly, stopping about three meters in front of Jason who nodded instantly without letting go of his smile. “Oh yes! I have a surprise for you. I am sure you are going to love it. Come on, let’s go!” Jason gestured to Rose to follow him, but she seemed a bit reluctant to even take a step. Jason was forced to turn to look at her when he realized that she hadn't made a move to follow him. “Come on, Rose. This is really important, I am sure you will love it. This is something you have always wanted.” Jason said convincingly, and taking in a deep b

Nadia
Jason received a call while he was driving on the highway. He had to slow the car down at once to be able to take the fall after seeing who the caller was on the screen of the phone. “Harry?” He said, and then he cleared his throat while listening attentively to hear what the Butler was going to say. “Young Master? We found something, I think you need to see this.” Harry said from the other end of the line, and Jason let go of the steering wheel at once while he held onto the phone with his other hand. “Where are you?”“At the location where the shipments were taken,” Harry responded at once, and Jason nodded slowly before grabbing the gear stick. “I will be right there!” He reversed the car at once and changed direction, heading to the location where Harry called from. The road was busy, causing Jason’s impatience to grow, but he remained calm while looking for the best way to maneuver through some of the cars in front of him. “Out of the way!” He barked at one of the st

Merciless
Looking at the people kneeling before him one after the other, Jason smirked, and almost immediately, he sniggered at them while he let them deal with the anxiety that cringed them. “You seek mercy?” He asked, and even though none of them could utter a word, the nod from Isabella and her Grandmother was enough to answer his question. The rest were too ashamed to react to his question. “I see…” He scoffed, and after looking around for a few seconds, he returned his gaze to them without letting go of the smirk on his face. “What you should seek is redemption, all of you. From where I am standing, you do not deserve mercy. Maybe when you have tasted the other side of life just like I have, then you will be able to receive redemption. We are done here, I only came to claim what rightfully belongs to me, your words have no effect on me.” Jason turned to look at Ramon who waited to hear what he was going to say, eager to carry out their instruction. “Ramon?”“Yes, Young Master!” Th

Kneel Shamelessly
The Palmers looked at each other the moment they heard the utterances from Jason, and when they returned their gazes to him, they could see that he wasn’t joking when he said those words, and even afterward. “You… You want us to kneel?”“Why not, Isabella? If you really want to show me how desperate you are to be shown mercy, then getting on your knees shouldn’t be a problem. The ball is in your court.” Jason maintained a smirk on his face, and then he went silent, waiting to see what their reaction was going to be. “You really want us to kneel?” Lady Alice asked with a weak tone, but Jason remained silent while he maintained his smirk. The old lady looked at her family members, and seeing that they were as helpless as she was, she swallowed hard saliva and sighed heavily. “I can't believe I am about to do this.” She grunted, and after giving Jason one long look, she slowly lifted her gown with both hands, and went on her knees, unable to lift her face from the ground. “Thi

Game Over
The news of the revelation of the identity of the richest and youngest billionaire in the entire country spread like wildfire, and people were cut between trying to know how a nobody suddenly became the heir to the biggest conglomerate in the country, and how he had managed to keep his secret hidden for so long while he carried out all his plans. Evidently, Jason had succeeded in carrying out his plans, or most of them, but there was still more, and there was no way he was going to leave any loose ends. The sun had taken over the moon, shining its rays on the surface of the earth while the cool morning breeze was blowing on the faces of everyone who was out that morning, including those who left their windows open. Standing firm with his evergreen smile intact, Jason kept his eyes on the Palmer mansion for a very long time while the memories of the past experiences he had in that building flashed through his mind. “Who would have thought that this day would come?” He thought t

Lock Away
While the Palmers were still arguing amongst themselves, Jason turned to look at Dalton and his cohorts who were seated at one of the round tables in the hall, staring at him with so many thoughts going through their minds. “To the man who killed my father. Of course, you are not going to be left out of the special packages going around. I have always been longing for this day when I can look you in the eyes, and watch you pay for what you did.” Jason grunted angrily, and then he took in a deep breath which he let out slowly before he continued. “I have your goods locked up somewhere safe, but the authorities have been informed of all your involvement. They should be here any moment from now.” Jason looked at the time on his wristwatch, and then at the entrance of the hall. “Aha! There they are!” He nodded in satisfaction as soon as he saw the ten policemen tripping into the hall with their guns in their hands. They marched straight to Dalton’s table and surrounded him and his c

The Big Reveal
The entire hall was thrown into a period of shock. First, it was a long silence, followed by whisperings, and then the recognition by some of those who knew Jason. “Is that?…” Lady Alice Palmer couldn’t finish her words. Seated at one of the long tables in the hall, she turned to look at her son Morgan who was seated beside her, but when he didn’t seem like he was ready to say anything, she turned to look at Isabella who she was certain was going to be able to recognize her ex-husband just in case her eyes were deceiving her. “That’s Jason!” Isabella confirmed before her Grandmother could open her mouth to ask her. “What the hell is he doing here? And why is Philip kneeling before him?” She added, standing up slowly from her seat to have a better look. “Maybe he is one of the guards who are here with Mr. Walker.” Jacob her cousin stated, and Andrew nodded to support him even though he had several doubts running through his mind, especially with the fact that Jason stood out fr

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
