THE GRAND PATRIARCH IS BACK Chp 147 - Jason Is No Different
“I have been such a fool,” Sonia thought to herself as she discreetly looked at the grandness of Celia’s home even as she pleaded with the latter to just let Jason see her. How was she supposed to know that the nearly penniless Jason could make a comeback and even have the money to buy such a house for a woman to whom he was not even related?She had not been going around lately in the circles of those snobbish, upscale ladies for nothing after all. She had heard from the grapevines that Jason bought the house for Celia. Nothing goes past the nose of the aristocracy of course unless they choose to ignore it or deemed it beneath notice. Bunch of stupid, entitled ninnies that had almost all they had handed down to them. None of them was like her. She had worked hard to get to where she was. Seducing and making sure that that bastard, Matteo let go of his strings of girlfriend to finally claim her as his girlfriend was not an easy feat at all. Not to talk of all the humiliation that And

“That smile. That body. That guileless look” Jason thought of how he had been victim to that entire package of deceitfulness made enticing by an attractive cover. Yes, Sonia is a beauty. Of course, he wouldn’t deny that. Only a blind man wouldn’t look twice at her. But as Jason came down the stairs and he saw her come close to him with her come-hither smile and remorseful look, he realised that he had been a victim long before he finally realised it. Long before Mateo came along to tip off the scale.She had been playing him for a long time. The right smile, the right sigh, the right look and he was willing to do anything for her. He had been on the talking stage with a girl he couldn’t even remember now back then before Sonia happened. They still couldn’t remember the full details of how he lost touch with that girl. But at that moment; he recognised that smile on her face. She was on a mission.“Hello, Jason,” she said in a voice that brought to mind the vague memory of slippery ski
THE GRAND PATRIARCH IS BACK Chp 149 - Thirst For Answers
Months Later Nineteen-year-old Millicent Dimitrios looked down at the lifeless body of her grandpa, the only family she had left on earth. The erratic life machine was silent now. The nurses were out of the room after persuading her to leave the room, to no avail. Oh, they would probably still be crowding her head at the moment with their patronising talk. Aunt Florence had prevented that. She had requested that they let Millicent have some time with him. It was funny that she felt nothing as she looked down at the flaccid skin of her grandpa. A once healthy-looking man robust with life, cancer and the barrage of chemo treatment and medication had stripped him of his once robust look. The man who had finally succumbed to death that morning had skin made splotchy from his illness. Yet even till the last moment. Right until the breath left his body, his animated look had still been there in his once-soulful eyes. Kristos Dimitrios, the founder of the Los Cabarellos. The former Grand P
THE GRAND PATRIARCH IS BACK Chp 150 - Pretty Boy Jessie
Meanwhile…. In an ultramodern hospital in Montreau. A young lady stood pacing in front of the hospital, anxiety written all over her face as she looked about like she was waiting for someone. The bustling activities of the hospital as people came in and out, and patients got walked or pushed in their wheelchairs seemed to not affect her as she looked at her phone and then up again. “Hey, you. Mum said if you don’t get your perky ass back in right now, you’d be toast” Jessie Kavinsky said as he came out with two bodyguards behind him. The lady glared at him but helplessness could be seen on her face as she turned away from him. She turned her face to the front, anxiously looking out for something as she ignored him. Jessie flicked back the bang of his blond hair and trailed his index around his diamond stud earring as he gave the lady’s butt a lascivious look “Babes don’t ignore me, bitch. And I will have liked to demonstrate just how much they like to get down with daddy but then m

“Well, what do we have here?” Aria Kavinsky said with a saccharine smile as a look from her had the bodyguards backing away from Jason. About five more bodyguards were behind her as she came out from the room where Charlotte was. The room seemed eerily silent to Jason and he was about to barge into the wall of men blocking his path when Aria let out a short, mocking laughter when she saw Simon and Andrea coming right behind Jason “Oh my poor inlaw, you even brought friends? Do we need that between families?” “Oh, wow. Nobody said that the evil witch is also in the mix” Andrea said acerbically and Simon shrugged even as he had his glare on the bodyguards. Aria knew that Andrea was talking about her. But she couldn’t hear what she said very well from where she stood. Yet, her face darkened and she shouted “Speak up, girl. I know you are talking about me” With a sweet smile, Andrea said “Oh I am sorry. I said you are…” Simon tsked “I don’t think she needs to hear it” Innocently, An
THE GRAND PATRIARCH IS BACK Chp 152 - Ginkgo Seed Poisoning
Jason could barely hold himself back as he paced in front of the operation room. His fist opened and closed in agitation as he wondered what was going on. He felt like trashing something or hitting someone yet he was all alone. The only other person close by was Anastasia. She was seated on one of the padded benches in the hallway as she looked straight ahead with a blank expression.He had no idea what his men had done but Aria and Jessie were nowhere around. At the moment, he would have preferred that they could be right there, he wouldn’t mind pummeling that idiot, Jessie.“Where is Heinrich?” Jason had no idea where Charlotte’s father could be at this moment when Charlotte was in such a critical situation. “Had the man been so blind to his wife’s antics that he would allow her to be anywhere near Charlotte during such a time?”Anger pulsed in Jason as he looked intently at the operation room’s door. Something was wrong. He could feel it. Charlotte was not a woman to be weakened by

She did not wake up. Jason couldn’t understand why she wouldn’t wake up. Even after Simon, Andrea and the doctor had done their best to purge her body of the toxins. Jason could hardly control his anger when the full details of what happened to Charlotte were later explained to him. Someone has been feeding Charlotte with a small dose of ginkgo sprouts and mothballs concentration. It had been consistently administered. Ginkgo seed on its own was known to be good for blood circulation and to clear blood vessels yet it is detrimental when consumed in large quantities. The sprouts are purely poisonous, colourless and odourless, which is the same trait that the modern mothball has. The combination of the two was extremely lethal even to a 270 pounds man. To a pregnant woman of Charlotte’s build; the ingestion of such a combination only has one purpose. To kill her with the babies.The children had been affected as well. Their breathing became erratic a few minutes after their first cry

“Don't tell me how sorry you are, get whatever you screwed up done rectified immediately!” Jason snapped and was about to disconnect the call.“She got away from us, sir” “She what?” he knew who the she was and he knew that her escape spelt nothing but more trouble. “What did I say about keeping an eye on her?”“We…I am sorry, sir. She seemed to have caught on to us and we think she wiped clothing with someone else but we lost her at the club she went…”“Wait, she went to a club? Right after releasing her?” Jason felt he must have heard it wrong but the person on end affirmed it. It made no sense to Jason. Why will Aria go to a club after he told his men to let her go? He would have expected her to run back home to Heinrich or start another plan. Unless…. “Where is Ashton?” Jason asked.“On a racecourse with his friends, sir”“On a…keep your eyes on him. Don’t even dare call me back with any bullshit about how you lost him too. Then find Aria” he snapped before disconnecting the cal

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

Chp 315 - Millicent 2.0
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
