Jason flipped the paper over and saw the handwritten note “If you are reading this; that means you finally figured it out. One of these is the contact of those in charge. They know who you are” Jason checked the envelopes again and saw another embossed folded paper in another envelope. True enough, each company was listed with the name of its president and contact details. Surprisingly, Matteo’s name was not listed on Darlington Hotel or Engorge. Jason shook his head “Guess you were not all that after all, idiot” he muttered to himself and stood to pace. He looked at the name of the Acting CEO of the parent company, Paragon Heights and he realized that it was one Charlotte Gibson. He was surprised that all those presidents with their ages and entitlement reported to a female but he was sure that she must be quite capable for his leader to hand over such a huge conglomerate to her. “I have to pay them a visit,” he thought and he picked up his phone to call the number attached to t

Jason smiled “I am not a fan of cocktails, Sarracio. So I cannot accept this”“What? Is he crazy? How could he not want that?”“And as a gift too!”“Oh, I wished I am the one been given that!”The people’s murmur reached Jason’s table and he wondered if he was embarrassing Sarracio by rejecting his gift. He was no fan of mixed brews though and Jason did not care that it was so hyped and quite expensive too. It was just another drink to him.Just then he saw Mia talking to one of the doormen at the entrance, he smiled and nodded at Sarracio. “I do know someone who might be interested though. Thank you”Sarracio

“What exactly is this surprise about?” Silas asked for the umpteenth time as they got out of the car. Mia shrugged “Don’t look at me. Jason is being all hush-hush about it” “You sure loved driving that” he inclined his head towards the Koenigsegg they got down from. Mia drove like a bat that was smoked out of its hole on their way. You bet I do” She looked back at the car and winked at her brother as they waited for Jason who was parking. Then she tapped the handle of her sunglasses against her teeth as she watched Jason approach them in his graceful movement “He still won’t tell me what this was all about though. Promised to tell us later” she turned to look at Silas with a narrowed eyes “Do you know something?” “Nope, nothing. Even if I know, I am not telling you” he said with an aggravating grin before leaving her side to go meet Jason “Yoh, Jay. You are not about to tell me that you pulled me away from my practice for sightseeing, are you? Because I might just decide to kill

“I have made arrangements for the alterations, Mr Rouarke. Everything would be done latest by tomorrow”“That fast?” Silas said with widened eyes as he looked over at Jason who merely shrugged, he was beginning to realise just how different his once homeless friend had become.Andrea nodded “Also, I was waiting to know if you have capable people that you think might be suitable for personnel, if not I will the process of getting the right hands on deck,” she said briskly.“Whoa, just like that?” Silas asked“Operation can be fully functional by tomorrow, sir. Just waiting on your directives”Jason saw that Silas was almost getting glassy-eyed by how fast everything was moving. Of course, Andrea who was used to things being fast-paced and even the decision of life and death being made in seconds might have no idea but Jason knew Silas needed some time to digest the fact that he owns a company now.“Andrea, what about you hold off first on that and Silas would get back to you,” he said

In an opulent, lavishly designed hospital room that looked more like someone’s master bedroom. Matteo lay sleeping on the 12inch well-padded bed as the transfusion IV hooked to his good arm trickled slowly.His right arm was heavily swaddled in a plastic cast and held up with a Brandon sling. He lay uncomfortably curved as the sling gave no mobility to his arm.Jose looked at his young master with anger filling his frame at the person who dared to do that. Jason Monroe.Jose had no idea why his master had said that they should steer clear of that young man. Master Andre had specifically warned him that if his stupid son gave him any order regarding Jason, Jose should disobey the order and inform him immediately.Jose couldn’t understand what kind of power that young man had. He remembered him well as the unfortunate young man who angered his young master more than three years ago and was tossed into jail. Jose knew about the arrangement that kept the young man behind bars for three ye

The room was as silent as a graveyard after Jose tried to apologise and Andre raised his hand to stop him, then he pinned his gaze on Matteo who was looking every other place but straight at his dad. Then he couldn’t take it anymore “Dad, I am…”“You bastard!” and hit his hand on his wheelchair’s armrest so that the attendants jumped and the eyes of the men behind him darted uncomfortably to their master before they looked away again, maintaining their stoic expressions.“What did I say to you? What did I tell you not to do?” Andre bellowed, his slur almost undetected under his roar. Doctors and nurses who heard of the commotion and came to investigate the matter were sent away with a terse command of “The master is in a discussion” Even though Matteo deliberately choose a different unremarkable hospital just so his father would not learn about what happened, the personnel knew not to mess with the burly black-clad men who blocked the entrance of Room 10.“Run along now” one of the

“You are leaving?” Silas asked with mouth gaping as he looked at Jason incomprehensibly. “Yes, Sy. I…” “What do you mean you are leaving?” Silas said more loudly, sitting up from his slouching position. “I have to, Silas” “Damn you have to! I just got my best bud back after three fucking years behind those bars that make your teeth want to chatter and now you are telling me that you are leaving? The heck you have to! You are leaving because you want to!” Silas said emotionally. “Is that true, Jay? Are you leaving us again?” Jason turned his head sharply towards the doorway to see Mia looking at him with an undescribable emotion in her eyes, Celia was behind her just giving him that steady look she always has on whenever she was trying to figure something out. Mrs Sloanne nodded towards his direction and quickly made herself scarce. ‘Is that what this is all about? Jay. Telling us all those things and showing us all these just so you can leave us? Again?” Mia said and there was
THE GRAND PATRIARCH IS BACK Chp 43 - Recurring Dream
In a dimly lit room lay woman swaddled up to her neck in a thick covering on a narrow bed, she was shivering violently despite how stuffy the room was, the thin curtains were drawn and a gentle breeze blew the fabrics. The breeze did nothing to reduce the room's stuffiness as it was heated, and neither did the heat in the room reduce the shivering f the woman. It was as if she was untouched by the elements around her as she was shivering so badly that one wouldn’t believe that any human body could survive such a spasm. The tightly shut door cracked open and a moccasin-clad foot stepped through the crack. A moment passed before a hand showed around the door as the door was pushed open and a little dark-haired boy glanced around the room before fully stepping in. He stood by the door for a moment to get the lay of the land and a little smile touched his face when he realised that he had not been discovered, nobody was hurrying after him in the hallway nor was there anyone in the room

Chp 316 - Epilogue
The latest of the scandals related to the Monroes was the handover event that turned out to be more than everybody expected. But instead of the event turning out to be the most humiliating for Jason as his enemies expected, it turned out to be the greatest positive publicity that he had ever gotten. Nationally and internationally, people were talking about the man who smartly outwon his evil relatives and helped the FBI and two national police to solve cases that had been open for ages. Sales in Paragon Heights and all their subsidiaries skyrocketed and their shares grew so fast that Paragon Heights' worth went from five trillion dollars to forty-eight trillion dollars in no time, with more potential. Paragon Heights became the Holy Grail of business in California and all over the world. They became the first conglomerate on permanent contract slots for the UN and many international organisations. Jason’s fame as a capable, family-minded, CEO grew with his sophisticated wife, Millice

Sonia opened her eyes and looked at him “A silly whim that I regret a lot now. I was to select a new face. Then I suddenly showed the doctor Millicent face on the phone that I wanted that. At that moment, it was to get back at her for having what I would never have - Jason, I mean. But eventually, I realise that in a silly way of mine, I was probably hoping that some of her goodness will rub off on me. Stupid, isn’t it?” she asked him with a smile, then look away again when his expression didn’t change. “Sorry,” she muttered. “You said she is happy?” he asked suddenly. She looked back at him with a questioning look on her face “With Jason. You are sure that her happiness was not just a show? She wasn’t just acting?” Sonia scoffed “Acting? She would be an idiot not to jump excitedly anytime she remembers that he belongs to her” She saw the look on his face and quickly said “Oh, I am sorry. I mean. She is very happy. She loves him. Any idiot could see that. Even when I was trying to c

Just as Millicent was settling down in her newly decorated office befitting a chairwoman; a woman who looked just like Millicent, until closely scrutinised, laughed out loud in a penthouse in Montreau. Bastion Alverro, current Capomandamento of the Alverro family gave her an askance look before asking “What is so funny in what I just said?” The woman continued laughing while trying so hard to curb her mirth “I…I am so sorry. I just couldn’t help it. Who would have thought that a powerful man like you would be a child at heart? I mean, who else would chase after someone this hard and for this long because of a silly dream?” she laughed again. Bastion looked at her again and said slowly “Something is different. Your face, that laugh. It is different” he said thoughtfully. “Oh, thank God. Finally, somebody with half a brain. I mean, I am sorry I am not trying to tell you that you have only half a brain. I am just…I was trying to tell those morons, who grabbed me that I am not that st

The drama of the morning only seemed to increase as Jasmine burst into their room, just as Millicent finished dressing. She had been distracted by Jason and dressing up had eventually taken more than an hour. Sending up a prayer to the heavens that she was fully clad, she turned towards the girl and smiled “Hey, beautiful. What’s up? What is with the rush?” “Grandpa is here,” Jasmine said excitedly. “He brought a woman with him” “Brought a…Heinrich is here?” Millicent asked in surprise. “Yes, he is. He wants to see Daddy and Isabel was acting weird” Jasmine said thoughtfully. “Oh yes, weird is the least of it,” Millicent thought anxiously. Then to Jasmine, she said “Go and tell Heinrich that we will be there soon” Jasmine skipped out of the room, her school tie swinging like a pendulum on her neck. Millicent turned to face Jason as he came out of the bathroom. He looked toward the door and asked “Was that Jas?” “Oh, it certainly was. And…well, you have a visitor” Millicent sai

“You were tossing and turning all night” Jason said to Millicent as she opened her eyes the following morning. He had been watching her for a while. “Uh? Oh, is that so?” Millicent said as she raised her head to accept Jason’s kiss “Hmm, this is surely the best way to wake up” she said as she held him tightly to herself and deepened the kiss. They were both breathing hard when they separated. Jason flopped back on his back, with his hand gently playing with Millicent’s hardened nipples. “Now, that is the best way to wake up,” he said with a chuckle. “No complaints from here,” Millicent said with a smile, then she stood up. Jason turned towards her direction and asked “Now, will you tell me what is wrong? You only toss and turn like that when you have something weighing on your mind. Is this about what I told you? About Silas?” Millicent’s eyes widened as she said “What? No, no. That is not... I mean, yes, what happened to your brother is… well, totally surprising. But I know you

“What?! Since when?” Mia’s shock-laced question resounded throughout her office floor. She looked aside to see some of the employees passing and they paused to look at her. She quickly waved at them with a smile that all was fine and hurriedly went to her door to close it. She turned back, put her phone on speaker and dropped it on her table before she said “Silas Benjamin Rouarke, what the hell are you talking about?” “Wow, that judgy tone of yours is really helpful right now, sister” Silas’s voice resounded in her spacious, elegantly furnished office. Mia raked her hand through her hair, then turned back to say “Oh, helpful? You want help? You had better hope that the host of heavens come down to help you when mom hears about this…this madness of yours!” she snapped at him. “You know what? I really do not have time for this. I must have been mistaken when I thought that I will get a little support at least from you before I talk to Jason and Mom. Guess not. Thanks for nothing” “

“That was not how I expected that brunch to go” Jason said as they got back home that day. “Yeah, you and I both” Millicent said as she went straight to the fridge to take bottled water. “You want some?” she asked Jason but he merely shook his head before he flopped onto the bed. “Poor Simon. He was beside himself with worry and guilt that he should have noticed that she was not herself” Millicent shook her head as she went to sit by him. “I am not sure he could have known when a strong-willed woman like Andrea was determined to hide something like that from him. You should have seen the look on her face before she left that restroom though. She was terrified yet showed a brave face” Jason laid his hand on Millicent’s belly as he said “I am sure they will figure out the best way to go about this and we will be there to help them with whatever they need as well” Then he sighed before saying “Does it make me a terrible person that I am glad that we do not have to worry about such a

Chp 309 - Cancer And Pregnancy
The Monroes had a celebratory brunch with Heinrich, the deadly duo, and Anastasia the following day. Heinrich invited them to his home to celebrate his clean bill of health and the promotions. The doctor informed him the day before that the toxins in his system had been finally gotten rid of. Also, the neurotoxicity potency had been curbed to a minimal level. Though he still had to take medication for the rest of his life, new research funded by Jason was already underway on how to completely cure neurotoxicity. So they were all optimistic that he would be totally fine and free of medications soon. They all arrived for the brunch in high spirits. Everyone was still happy about the turn of events in the company. The deadly duo and Anastasia marvelled at the magnificence of Heinrich’s home. Then they all settled down to the magnificence spread provided by Heinrich’s cook and his assistants. Mouthwatering biscuits and gravy complimented the no yeast, French toast bagels so well, yet the
