THE GRAND PATRIARCH IS BACK Chp 116 - Letting Go
“Where were you off to?” Silas asked Jason as the latter came back to join him. Since he could catch up with Jason, he had simply joined the players in the pool room. He had managed to charm some pretzels out of one of the waiters and was cheering his pick for the game on; a kid that looked as if he wasn’t old enough to be in the pool room.He munched on his salted pretzel before pointing accusingly at Jason who had a distracted look on his face “You are a terrible nurse”“I am no nurse at all” Jason responded with a smile that did not reach his eyes. “If you want a nurse, just go back to the hospital,” he said as he smiled faintly when the teenager slammed one in on his opponent and he danced in ecstasy around the pool table. “How great it was to be that young and carefree,” he thought fleetingly. He had never been that carefree at his age though. At that age, he was already out of the foster system and trying to keep the clothes on his back there.“Hello, earth to Jay,” Silas said
THE GRAND PATRIARCH IS BACK Chp 117 - Strange Call
Jason decided to let go of any inconvenient feelings he might be developing for Charlotte. If she wanted space, then he would give her one.“You don’t need to avoid me, you know,” he said to her one morning as she was going to the office. He had requested a filling breakfast that morning much to the delight of the chef. The man cooked up a storm and Jason sat down to do justice to it.Charlotte’s footstep sounded on the staircase and Jason was amazed at the fact that he had become so attuned to her that he could pick out that soft threading sound even before she came downstairs.“You must have it bad, man,” he said to himself with a small smile as he remembered what Silas had said to him when he went to Dengal.Charlotte seemed startled when she saw him at the breakfast table doing justice to the Mexican pancake that the chef prepared. A steaming cup of cocoa to his left and assorted rolls with homemade condiments all splayed out.“Good morning,” she said hesitantly on her way out.“G
THE GRAND PATRIARCH IS BACK Chp 118 - Wrong Room
Jason still couldn’t believe that she asked him to meet her at a club.As he drove through Montreau’s fast-paced traffic, his annoyance grew at the fact that he had to call Charlotte that he wouldn’t be able to attend the presidents’ board meeting again that morning. The fact that she had not bothered t ask what happened was another thing he was angry about. She could have at least pretended to care for him as his wife, couldn’t she? No, nothing of sort. It was as if she was so relieved to not have to deal with him that morning as she simply said okay and the line went dead.The woman had better have something worthwhile to say. He thought as he got to StickIt Club on the upscale part of Montreau. “Of course, someone like her would pick a place like this,” he thought to himself in annoyance as the doorman opened the door of the club for him.The contrast of the lights inside compared to the bright atmosphere outside did a trick on his eyes before he finally adjusted to scan what was

The private room that the waitress took him to this time around was a contrast to the former. Jason already braced himself for whatever was on the other side of the room and he was even about to stop the lady when she opened the door wide and invited him to enter.Even her glazed eyes looked clear in the light penetrating the dimly little corridor from the room and he could see that she had pale blue eyes before she smiled and turned away from him. Leaving him to enter the room on his own.“Are you going to stand there all day?” a voice called from the room and Jason knew that there was no mistake this time around. “I can assure you that I don’t bite” the voice added with a chuckle.Jason shook his head and entered the room. There she was seated in a gilded chair close to the table laden with different food, some of which Jason couldn’t even identify from where he was. She was squished into another tight dress that showed every single curve and angle she had to her advantage. Just as
THE GRAND PATRIARCH IS BACK Chp 120 - Kavinsky's Call
It seemed to be the day for the Kavinsky calls. Jason thought to himself when he got another call from Heinrich Kavinsky that evening, asking Jason to check on him the following at his home office.Jason was still pondering the idea of telling Charlotte about the meeting he had with her stepmother that day when he received the call, but a look at his wife’s forbidden face was enough for him to dismiss that idea. She had been quiet since she got home that day and his enquiry about what happened got him nothing but a quiet “I am fine, just tired”She did not say anything about the meeting that he missed nor did she appear to be interested in whatever he had to say. He had implored her to get some dinner before she went up to bed and she obliged him by accepting to have a bite. A few minutes into the meal though, Jason wished he had not persuaded her because all he got back when he tried to strike up a conversation with her were just monosyllabic answers and she was barely touching her p
THE GRAND PATRIARCH IS BACK Chp 121 - Damn Dream!
Jason woke up with a raging headache the following morning. His head seemed stuffy as if it was filled with cotton wool and he thought he might throw up if care was not taken.Nausea roiled in his stomach when he stepped out of bed and he had to sit for a while to get his bearing back.“What the heck,” he thought to himself when he felt his vision greyed when he stood up abruptly and he nearly stumbled on the bottle of wine rolling on the rug close to the bed. He stared at it through bleary eyes and was surprised to see that it was empty.He held his head as he vaguely remembered that he had been unable to sleep during the night after waking up to see his body filled with sweat and his sheets all tangled around him when he had been tossing and turning in his sleep. Throwing the windows open and pulling b

“Come with me, sir” the petite lady in front of Jason said as she led him to where Jason supposed that Heinrich was.He tried his best not to gawk but then it was quite hard not to do so when faced with such affluence. It was hard for anyone not to be mesmerized by the massive, unusual presence of the lavish french chateau-style, 48, 000 square feet mega palace set majestically on 40 acres of land.Jason initially had no idea of the surprise awaiting him on the other side of the massive wrought iron gates manned by security personnel.The polite security man that approached him for questioning asked him to stand aside while the latter called the house to make enquiries regarding Jason and in no time he turned to Jason with a smile that he could go right in.J
THE GRAND PATRIARCH IS BACK Chp 123 - The Offer
Well, talk of a bad beginning. Jason thought to himself as he looked away from the man’s glare and back as he was unaware f what the man would prefer “I am sorry, sir. I…” “Come and have your seat and stop standing there like a dunce,” Heinrich Kavinsky said as he pointed at the lone chair that was in the front of his crab-legged table that had a computer system on it and a few books opened on it. “Just how many books does the man read in a day?” Jason thought in awe as he sat. You already wasted enough of my time so this would be short” Kavinsky said behind him, Jason turned his neck to listen to the man since he was still standing at the calligraphy table like he intend to stay there throughout their conversation. “What do you want with my daughter?” Jason stood so he could face him but Heinrich waved his hand “Sit, sit” then he finally left the table to sit in his chair opposite Jason. “Answer me” he demanded as he sat and rubbed his finger against his temple. Jason still cou

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
