The Rising Phoenix: Devisee’s escapade.

The voices of family members, friends and well wishers who had come to pay their condolence to the Palmers could be heard echoing from the main hall of the massive Palmer mansion; exquisite chandeliers hung from several angles of the roof shining brightly, reflecting sparkling glitters on the wine glasses that most of the elite guests in the hall had in their hands. All in the hall were on black outfits.Lord Richard Palmer one of the wealthiest men in Granada Hills and the founder of Palmer Pharmaceuticals had just been buried. He died after a brief illness at 85.“So sorry for your loss Lady Palmer.”“Oh thank you so much.” Mrs. Alice Palmer responded to the man in stylish black suit and a black moccasin shoe to match.“Accept my deepest condolences Lady Palmer.” Said a lady putting on a black felt hat. She handed her a bouquet of roses, Mrs. Palmer took the roses with a smile.“Where the hell is that leech of a son-in-law?” Scouring through the hall, her eyes glaring with high c

Jason had just returned from purchasing grocery; his wife had sent him off as usual to the store. That had always been the regular routine. Jason would always run errands while she went on social gatherings and had fun with her friends. Even the care of the baby became his responsibility.He walked into the house through the backdoor then he made use of the elevator, his two hands holding the grocery bags firmly. Approaching their apartment, he could hear laughter and giggling. Dropping the bags on the cabinet in the kitchen, he made his way to their bedroom curious of who was the owner of the deep male voice he could hear from the room.The door to the bedroom was slightly opening, Jason could see two figures on the bed lying very close to each other in a romantic manner. He opened the door wider and walked into the room hurriedly to behold the two persons kissing and caressing each other on the bed. His wife Isabella was on lingerie while the man was bare-bodied.“What the hell!”“

Jason heaved a great sigh of relief. He was finally someone of great substance and no one was ever going to push him around again. He remembered the recent events that occurred and the urge to get back at Clark and the Palmers crept into his soul.“You have to get acquainted with your father’s companies; its been so hectic taking care of things. I am not getting any younger; my bones are feeble now. Everything is yours; the companies, the banks, the cars, the houses, the hotels, the hospitals. Everything!”“Not now Grandpa, I have a few things I need to take care of. I need to be in the life of my son, your Great-grand-son.”“Very well then, Harry here will make sure you lack absolutely nothing pending when you are ready to assume your rightful position. Its so good to have you back Jack!”Jason hugged his Grandfather and left the room with Harry. He wasn’t certain of what his plans were but he knew that it was certainly going to be a long ride for all those who had humiliated him wh

It had only been a few days since Jason started working for the Palmers, but Isabella wanted to get rid of him so passionately. She was tired of seeing him around, especially whenever he came close to his son who had been crying uncontrollably since he left and seemed so joyful at his return. Jason had just gotten up from his bed that early morning, he prepared himself and was about to step into the bathroom in the cabin when a heavy knock landed on the door. Wondering who it was, he slowly pushed the door to behold the sight of the Palmer’s family Attorney standing in-front of him. He was dressed in a fine black suit with a stripped blue tie to match. Opening a file he had in his hand, he brought out an envelope and handed it over to Jason with a disdainful look on his face. Before Jason could utter any word, William turned and left. Jason unsealed the envelope and glanced through the contents of the letter inside. It was a court hearing; Isabella filed for a divorce and sole posse

“Looking at the files in front of me, I must say that I am very disappointed that an attorney would be involved in such hideous behavior. To say that I am very disappointed is the least of the feelings I have.” The Judge said firing shots of annoyance at William who still kept his face downwards. “Say something, say something William! Don’t just keep mute.” Isabella whispered loudly looking at William whose outfit was suddenly soaked not responsive to the cooling air from the air condition. “This firm has lasted for years on the strong foundation of justice and equity and I wouldn’t have you ruin this standard we have set here. I would deal with this matter of deception much later when this is over.” The Judge blared again holding up all the files William had presented to him, then he kept them aside and gathered the files Jason’s attorney handed over to him placing them one after the other on the table. There was over a minute of silence coated with great tension rising from ev
