Right before a woman opened the door. Jason guessed she must at least be in her late forties but she looked so much younger and one did not need to verify further to know that her youthfulness have more to do with Botox injections than any natural endowment.
Though she was a beautiful woman in her right, too many enhancements had added a kind of hard features to her beauty. It was as if she was trying to be someone else. Her nose looked unnaturally slimmer, was it lifted too?
Jason could almost think that the woman was trying to imitate an Asian woman with the contradictions that her surgeries had added to her features.
“Mum, can you believe this?” Jes busted into la

Jason felt like a bug under a microscope as Heinrich Kavinsky motioned for him to come forward.Jes snickered from where he was sitting at the dining table in a lounge. His mother’s warning look made him shrug unapologetically before he moved to the side buffet where two waiters were waiting for the family’s order.He picked a sauteed shrimp and popped it in his mouth before snorting laughter again.“Good afternoon, sir,” Jason said anxiously when Heinrich kept looking at him without saying anything.From the corner of his eyes, he saw Charlotte take her seat on one of the padded chairs. If he had not been so nervous about the stare-down match that Heinrich seemed engaged in, he was sure that he would have smiled at the way Charlotte d

Jason had no idea what she was going to say but he knew he couldn’t expect her to defend him of course. Not after he did not tell her what had transpired before. He thought he had enough time to tell her all those after they got to know each other better.He had thought of telling her when he asked her to marry him but then he felt that was not necessary. Then he thought of informing her after the marriage but then he realised that he was reluctant to tell her about the betrayal he had endured.Waiting with bated breath to hear if she would toss him for the wolves or defend him now; he realised that he should have told her. At least it would have been better than having to dread what the news would cause between them.Even though he had not wanted to admit it to himself, he realised in a split second tha

Jason had no idea what she was thinking.Since she stalked out of the dinner that was never held in The Bond. Jason mused about the irony of entering a place that many would love to be in and he had been unable to taste even as little as water from the legendary restaurant.After getting into an argument with her dad, she left the venue in anger. Jason had not been able to leave not after being given a series of warnings by his father-in-law who made it clear that he hated his guts.Jes had thrown in his twopence when he had cornered him on his way out as well to give him his unsolicited advice of “leaving if he knew what was good for him” as his likes would never be able to worm his way into their family. “Why do you think dad changed the venue?

He had miscalculated how long it would take her to get ready to go to the office that morning.By the time he got out f the bathroom, she was already gone and all he got from the housemaid was; “Madam has left for work”Damn, he thought on his way to the company.“You need to get your shit together, Jason,” He thought to himself as he drove her Benz to the company. He knew he should have gotten his things by now. His car and even an apartment if he so wanted. He had been reluctant to get a car because he felt using hers seemed a bit more personal.“Stupid” he muttered to himself before he honed loudly at the car in front of him. Normally, he would have been amused by the way Montreau dwellers always seemed to be in a hurry to get somewhere. Not this morning though. This morning, he could understand them perfectly and he wouldn’t mind if the car could spread wings so he could fly over them all to get to his destination in time.So he honked. And that earned him a middle finger from the

“What are you talking about?” Charlotte asked instantly.“Was that a denial I heard in her voice?” Jason thought briefly before raising his hand in a form of surrender “No, no. I do not mean that literally. At least not yet, I was just thinking of things that could change the narrative for you” he said as he motioned for her to sit and he sat in the large, comfy chair she uses when she was not at her table. He faced her “Think of it this way, Charlotte. The reason why these people are throwing this much shade on you was that you are married to me, yeah?” she nodded, her expression still unconvinced.“Yes?”“They wouldn’t do this to you on a normal day. It seemed all I have brought to you so far in the past weeks is the potential to ruin your reputation” he said reasonably.She folded her arms across her body “And you think that a divorce right now would not shred the little that remained of that reputation into tatters? What happens when they learn that you are now the CEO of the com

A goddamn cripple for that matter!“Fuck the old man, fuck his stupid power! Fuck the fact that I can’t do anything about this! Fuck my mother that didn’t have enough sense in her head to marry a rich man so I wouldn’t have to bow to bastards like Andre and his fucking son like this!” Sonia railed in her mind. Of course, she couldn’t say it out. Not when she was surrounded by people who would tell Andre immediately if she decided to breathe wrong.The old man had her on a short tight leash for the past weeks and she had been unable to perfect her perfect plan of running away before Andre sprung the latest news on her.“Aaargh!” she screamed in her head as she fantasized about gouging out the eyes of the bitch who was smiling at her in the mirror and telling her how beautiful she looked.“Of course, bitch. You were paid to flatter me after all” she thought and gave the lady a ferocious glare that had her looking away before picking the veil.“We must hurry now,” she said again, her c

“What? Aw, come on. How come you get to have all the fun?” Silas turned to Mia that was peeling an apple close to his bed “How did he get to have all the fun while I get nothing?” he whined.“Maybe because you enjoy lying around on your ass while people wait on you” Mia countered as she scrunched up her nose at him.“Yeah, that could be the reason,” Silas said as if contemplating before looking over at her “Wanna switch places?”“Silas, what are you talking about?” Celia, who was just entering the room at that moment exclaimed as she moved closer to her son and hit him with the dishcloth in her hand.“Ouch, mum!

He couldn’t breathe!Something was screaming at him and he knew that would simply die in the next moment if he did not try to escape. Where was escape?He tried to feel his legs. Run or move away but he couldn’t. It was as if a hand was pinning him down. The air felt leaden and his sense of sight seemed to have failed him.“Hello, who is there? I need help!” he thought to shout but even his mouth wouldn’t obey. He seemed to be in a place where he couldn’t control anything that initially belonged to him. “What is wrong with me?” he thought in panic but even his thought became more sluggish.Just as if his soul was leaving his body.“I don’t want to die” his mind screamed in panic and he started fighting again. He just knew that if he could get away from that cloying leading oppression, h would be free. He summoned all his strength and pushed with all he had.“Take him” he heard fleetingly before his vision became flooded with a bright, bright light that blinded him at first making his

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

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
