THE GRAND PATRIARCH IS BACK Chp 157 - Last Respect
It was the hardest thing he had ever done. Leaving those helpless kids while that murdering bitch was nowhere to be found. It wasn’t that Jason didn’t trust Simon and Andrea to handle whatever arose in his absence but he had not been able to leave until Celia arrived. With a tear-stained face, she had simply opened her arms to him and told him that everything would be fine. Silently, Jason had taken her up to the nursery to see the kids while her maid followed the housekeeper with Celia’s luggage. She had simply looked down at the babies and more tears flooded her face.“She was a brave and beautiful woman. And now you have parts of her that will always be here with you” she said as she hugged him again and Jason could feel her tears soak his shirt. That was the typical Celia that had restored his faith in humanity. A woman who could cry so hard for someone that she had never even met. “Silas and Mia will be here later. I couldn’t get in touch with them before I boarded the aeropla
THE GRAND PATRIARCH IS BACK Chp 158 - Nothing But The Truth
The fact that they agreed to meet up with him that evening humbled Jason. He suddenly realised that he did not even know what to say to them. “I am sorry for your loss and I want to express my condolence?” Jason shook his head as he wondered if that was something he was supposed to say to people who were strangers to him. Would they appreciate the fact that he came from Montreau to pay his last respect to their family or would they find the fact that he came after the man’s death suspicious? Jason took his mind off what would happen later as he adjusted the bouquet of white roses he had with him. He pressed the buzzer on the wide, tall gate at the main entrance of King’s Court Cemetery. He knew that those behind that gate had already seen him because there were about three CCTV cameras mounted at the gate and though it wasn’t fully dark yet, the area was flooded with light. He had barely pressed the button when a voice asked through the intercom who was there and what he wanted.

Isabella, one of the nannies assigned to the Montreau babies woke up with a start. She was drowsy and had nodded off earlier. She looked down through blurry eyes at the baby in the crib. The girl twin. The girl was finally sleeping fine. She knew she should go lie down in the adjacent room attached to the nursery, yet she didn’t stand up. She smiled lopsidedly as she wondered why she was feeling so tired. She was an experienced nanny after all and the ability to be able to wake at the sound of the slightest noise was one of the reasons why she had always had a glowing review from her employers. Though Isabella had taken some time off in the past five years from being a full-time nanny. She had only taken on part-time nanny duties to support her family as she cater to her boy as well. This job would be the first full-time nanny duty she would take on after she resumed work with the establishment that had agreed to keep her on even when she was unable to take on full-time work as usua
THE GRAND PATRIARCH IS BACK Chp 160 - A Sponger And A Problem
Jason couldn't care less if the meal at Bravo restaurant tasted like a twig. He did not intend to eat. He could see that the two ladies in front of him seemed to be having issues with their order as well. Well, the older one at least. She had been pushing her ramen about with her fork while she gave him furtive glances from time to time. Jason was sure that his face must be imprinted with the smile that he consistently bestowed on her whenever she looked at him. He half wished he could be anywhere else right now than sitting across a woman who seemed to distrust him on sight. It was either that or Jason was still holding a grudge about the fact that she was the reason why he had not seen his master that one-time that he was so close. He knew it could have something to do with the fact that she made him nervous too. How was he supposed to ask a self-assured woman who was in charge of his benefactor's grandchild if they needed him to help with anything? How could he say that without m
THE GRAND PATRIARCH IS BACK Chp 161 - Not Again
Jason couldn’t even remember how he got back to Montreau. Of course, he remembered asking Simon to explain exactly what he meant by “problem”. He remembered listening to his right-hand man and feeling overwhelming guilt of abandoning his own once again. He remembered Simon telling him that his flight was ready for him and he could even manage to remember the undelayed flight he had back. It was the little details that he couldn’t remember. Details of how the rain, which started just as he got off the flight without waiting for the car that was sent to him in his rush, had drenched him. Details of how he had seen nothing but the faces of his newborn children in his head throughout the long journey. Jason had no idea how he took the staircases in twos as he rushed to the nursery. He flung the door open but still had the consciousness of mind to quickly hold it so that it wouldn’t crash into the wall.He saw Celia rocking one of the babies while she jiggled the other one in his playpen.

Andrea nodded slowly as she walked into the room.“Yes, she is on the mend, boss. We were able to flush most of the toxins out of her system before we sent her to the hospital. She is responding to treatment now and her family. Mostly her husband and a kid are with her at the moment, sir. He is not an agreeable person” she added with an unconscious wince.Jason was distracted from his worry for a moment and he asked “The kid?”“No, sir. The husband. He was literally screaming his lungs out as he went on and on about paying for damages. Suing for employer’s negligence and some other crap that I didn’t bother listening to before I made him shut up” Andrea said.“Made him shut up? How?” Jason asked and he could see that his family was very much interested as well. Even Jasmine had her head turned towards Andrea.“I have my ways, sir” Andrea answered, unfazed.Of course, Jason knew that. Still, he asked, “That way didn’t involve hurting the family of the woman who was already hurt because

Jason disconnected the call and looked at the door down the hall that Andrea stood in front of. Behind that door was that sick woman. That psycho. As Jason approached the door, Jason knew that his initial thought was not just a mere thought. He felt a chilling calmness under the bubbling lava of his anger. He knew that he could truly kill her first in his anger. He firmly tighten his metal hold on his anger as Andrea opened the door behind her. It was the sunroom and Jason hoped that the pseudo roof had been flipped back and Aria thrusted under the penetrating sun. She was exactly the way he pictured her when he opened the door. She was sunburned and furious too. The moment she saw him, she went berserk and started pulling hard at the restraint that had her tied to the hard cane chair that she was seated on. Jason knew that the roof would have been ricocheting with her words by now but there was a gag on her mouth. Her mouth was duct-taped. “Boss,” Simon said with the twin of Andrea
THE GRAND PATRIARCH IS BACK Chp 164 - He Killed It!
Two Years Later. “Alexi, give it back!” Jasmine’s outraged cry woke Jason up even before he felt a ball of energy jump on his covered chest. The air was momentarily knocked out of him as the source of his near-heart attack rolled to the other side of the king-sized bed and burrowed under the coverlet. A muffled giggle sounded somewhere close to Jason’s stomach, right before a fiery-eyed Jasmine, a miniature image of her father rushed into the room, half-plaited pigtails flying as she looked around in Jason’s room before looking back at the prone figure of her father, who was just removing the blanket from his face to look at her through bleary eyes. “Dad, have you seen Alexi?” she asked with her little fists planted at her waist. Jason gave her a mock disapproving look and said “Is that any way for my princess to greet me?” She ignored that as she pulled out the Sophia doll behind her. Sophia the best was missing her head as she dangled in the hands of her outraged owner “Alex, ki

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
