THE GRAND PATRIARCH IS BACK Chp 128 - No Leeway
Jason was amazed about the sudden change in Charlotte’s behaviour. After her outburst, while he was still surprised at the insult she had doled out to him, she left him right there in her office as she left.Jason could hear her telling her assistant that she should tender her resignation letter if she knew that she was tired of working already.Before he could think of going after her, she was already in the elevator. He hurriedly went to the second-panelled elevator and got in. the employees in the box were going to a different floor. Though he was frustrated by the way the elevator stopped every other minute. When the elevator opened and he saw about three guys, who were friends on the other side of the elevator about to enter. He said tightly that they should take another and ignored the two ladies in the elevator with him as they gave him a wide berth.He finally got out of the elevator but he was too late as he saw Charlott’s car leave the company at the exact moment that he cam

“She said what?” Jason asked in surprise when he got home and he was met at the door by the housekeeper with news he had not been expecting at all.“Sir, that was what she ordered me to tell you, sir. She made it clear that she did not want to meet you here by the time she gets back, so I…”Jason could almost laugh out loud at the ridiculousness of the situation. Just that morning, this woman greeted him with so much respect while asking if he would like for her to tell the chef to prepare anything. The night before, she had been beaming alongside Giuseppe when he asked that an elaborate meal should be prepared and he could feel that they had been disappointed as well when it had all come to nought.Now, she stood there in his path, directly blocking the door as she looked every other place but at him.“Where is she, really?” he asked her and she paused before replying to him again.“She is out, sir” “Is that so?” Jason asked as he narrowed his eyes at her. His instinct told him that

Jason scooped her from the floor when she did not make any sound and carried her straight to his car, sending up thanks to the heavens that he had not had time to park the car in the garage. The car was a sports car without much room for him to manoeuvre as he settled her inside the car. The gardener held the car door open for him as her staff hovered in front of the house with worry written on their faces.“I have her doctor’s number, sir” the housekeeper was saying.“I don’t have that time” Jason snapped back as he rushed to the driver's side, jumped in and tore out of the driveway almost bumping over the hedgerows used to design the driveway sides.The image of Giuseppe wiping his brow with his cap as he held his spatula in the other hand was the last thing Jason saw as he left,He had not gone far when she stirred but she still seemed unconscious.“Charlotte, are you okay? Can you hear me? Are you hurt?” he asked worriedly when she stretched her hand toward her head and let out a

Jason received a call from Celia when he went to make payment and to do the necessary documentation since Charlotte was not a registered patient of Lifeline Hospital.“Hello, mum” he picked up on the first ring when he saw the call and he felt a bit guilty for consistently putting off the call he had intended to make to her for the past few days.He knew why even though he did not voice it to himself and even though she had not said anything to him again since then.“Hi, son. How have you been?” her chirpy voice enveloped him in a way that he had never been able to explain since he knew her and the frustration he had been feeling about Charlotte’s attitude receded a bit.“I am fine” he replied, even though he was far from it at the moment. “How are Mia and that coconut head doing?” he asked with a small laugh.“The coconut head is right here” Jason’s smile widened as he hear Silas’ voice in the background “So, this is how you bad-mouth me when I am not around? No wonder she was becomi

“What do I not deserve to know?” Jason repeated when neither the doctor nor Charlotte made a move to answer his question.Charlotte simply ignored him as she looked towards the pristine wall, painted a light blue, unlike the customary white that one would see in most hospitals. She fixed her gaze on it as if the answer to Jason’s question was written there while the doctor merely blinked, looked at Jason then back at Charlotte before he cleared his throat and adjusted his coat.“Errm,” he said hesitantly “You know, I think I will leave you two to talk,” he said with a slight nod at Jason before he beat a hasty retreat, closely followed by the two nurses.Jason tried to curb the myriads of thoughts tumbling over each other in his mind at that moment regarding what Charlotte could be hiding from him, he did not want to make the same mistake she was making at the moment by jumping to conclusions without tangible evidence. So he visibly took in calming breath while he looked at the stubbo

“You want what?” he said in his unhurried way. He paid the ring on his finger extra attention as he awaited her reply.“I want him to be taken out of the way. You would do this for me, won’t you?” Sonia said cautiously. She wanted to bat her eyelashes at him but then he was not even looking at her so she decided to save her energy. She was sure she would need it soon anyway.She rose on her elbows, ignoring the silk sheets that slid off her chest, baring her pebbled aureole to him. It did not matter anyway as he had seen all there was to see and she had merely covered herself with the sheet because of the chill in the air.She could feel the faint abrasion on her breast from the way his unshaven face had scratched her when he had been handling her earlier. Not that she was complaining anyway. No, she was loving every moment with this man whom she had no idea could be as virile as he was at his age. Of course, the danger of being with such a man was as much the turn-on for her as his p
THE GRAND PATRIARCH IS BACK Chp 134 - Seperation
Jason moved out since that was what Charlotte wanted. She remained stoic about the fact that she wanted nothing to do with him again. Jason was intent on not upsetting her. That was what the doctor meant even though the latter would say nothing about the exact thing that Charlotte told him not to let Jason know. “It is a patient-doctor confidentiality, sir,” the doctor said apologetically when he went to his office after Charlotte denied his guess with such derogatory laughter that Jason thought he must have sounded ridiculous truly. “I can’t simply tell you since she did not want you to know. She must have her reasons, sir and our job here is to ensure that we not only take care of our patients but cater to all their needs and demands too” “Even though I was the one that brought her here?” Jason asked in disbelief. “Yes, sir” the doctor replied, straight-faced. “Wouldn’t you have told me if she was still unconscious when we got here?” he asked, not giving a damn that his voice was
THE GRAND PATRIARCH IS BACK Chp 135 - Deadbeat Husband
Jason decided to give Charlotte the space she badly needed from him. He was amazed at the rate at which he had led down his guard. He was the one that proposed the marriage after all. Even though he had found her attractive at first sight, he had deliberately proposed a business-based marriage because he did not want to make the same mistake he made with Sonia again. Jason thought he would never give his heart to any woman the way he had naively given it to Sonia. The tumultuous week that followed their separation was what made him realise that Charlotte had snuck right under his guard and laid a claim to his heart. He did not only have the hots for his wife, but he had also managed to fall in love with her. His wife, who hated him so much at the moment and did not hide the fact that she would like him to be as far away as possible from her. The heart she had laid claim to was left wanting as she gave him a cold shoulder treatment every time they met in the office, in a meeting or e

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
