Kabirat AleemThank you, dear reader, for turning the pages. I appreciate you. Please check out my other book "Lord of Origins" as well.

Starting with the main character, the characters of Lord of Origins are multifaceted - of different dimensions and characteristics. This story is a bit slow paced int he beginning compared to this one but I can assure you that it is worthwhile of your time and interest. Thank you as you read, vote, comments and type your reviews. God bless.

THE GRAND PATRIARCH IS BACK Chp 166 - Wave And Board
What does she want?Jason repeatedly asked himself this question as he drove to Montreau international airport to pick her up. He had first thought of sending the driver to pick her up but then he decided against it. He needed to know what she wanted all of a sudden and he wouldn’t mind sorting it out and sending her on her way as soon as possible.“I am at the airport. I am here to see you. Will you send someone to pick me up or do I need to find my way over there?” she had said so simply as if calling him on a Monday morning when he was supposed to be at work was a thing she does regularly.Jason was still angry about the fact that he had been unable to take his kids to their school by himself on their first day. He had to entrust them to Isabella and the driver. Though Alexander had taken the decision out of his hands when he said.“Dad, don’t follow us to school. Jas will not want you to go. Then she will be crying in front of everybody and everybody would think I am also a crybab

“Are you saying that…” “That I want to have a hand in handling my grandpa’s business? That is about right” Millicent Dimitrios said with a small smile as she crossed her long, long legs in the chair opposite Jason’s. They were in his home office and it took effort for him not to gape at the self-assured young lady that sat in front of him. Had there been a speck of this confident woman in the girl he had first seen about five years ago? Jason couldn’t remember if the feisty female in front of him had been hiding underneath the scarred but brave girl that he had pulled out of the underground cell of her abductors back then or if she had grown her shell over the years. One thing was certain though. Anybody would think twice before trying to pull one over this girl…well, not much of a girl left in the curvy, womanly attributes in front of him now. Any would think twice before messing with her. But Jason was not any man. He was pissed as hell. Who did she think she was to just drop in
THE GRAND PATRIARCH IS BACK Chp 168 - Horrible Memories
Jason could kiss Jasmine for that question. He also wanted to know what Millicent’s laughter was about. His daughter had merely beaten him to it. Jason wondered if she found it funny that his kids were so desperate to have a mother that they think that the only woman they see in their home apart from their nanny, aunt and grandma was their soon-to-be mother. Before he could tear into her though, Isabella, who must have been walking more slowly behind them entered the office. She saw the look on her employer’s face and looked over at the young lady, who looked unfazed in the face by the furious gaze directed at her before looking down at her oblivious charges who were openly gazing curiously at the woman. “Oh, I am so sorry, sir. I will take them to their room” she said as she urged the twins to leave. “But we want to know her” Alexander protested. “She can not be our mummy,” Jasmine said right before Isabella closed the door behind them. “Later, kids. Daddy will tell you later,

He had it again. After all this while, he had it again. And it was all her fault.Jason woke up in a pissy mood. The presence of the twins helped to reduce his dangerous aura but his shitty mood was back in the fold after he dropped them off at school. The children’s teacher must have noticed his morose countenance because her nervousness did not bypass Jason’s attention. He was sure that he had given off a wrong first-time impression to the petite, fluttery teacher but at the moment he couldn’t be bothered to care. His mood was black as he drove to work and all his dark thoughts were directed at one person. Millicent goddamn Dimitrios. That smart-mouthed little girl somehow seemed to transform into a hardcore, stranger all of a sudden. He swore fluidly as the headache he woke up with that morning flared and it seemed as if someone was doing the tango in his head. He had woken up panting hard. He had woken up sweaty. He had woken up with the dregs of panic and the smell of smoke in h
THE GRAND PATRIARCH IS BACK Chp 170 - President Matteo?
“Good morning, sir” Anastasia came out to greet her boss. She had become Jason’s assistant after Charlotte’s death and helped a lot in his transitioning and taking over Charlotte’s duties and tasks. In the whole company, Anastasia was the only person that Jason trusted most out of all the former workers that were there, apart from the people that he had installed in appropriate positions of course. He was also grateful to her for getting to him on time. He was sure that Aria would have ensured that Charlotte died with the children in her that day if this selfless woman had not risked her life to contact him.So, Anastasia had become more than just an assistant to him. She was like family. She was the second godmother of the twins too. A title she had accepted with lots of tears and remembrance of Charlotte.Anastasia was surprised by her boss’s countenance and she looked at the gorgeous lady in front of him the daggers that Jason was shooting the lady showed that she was the cause o

Fourteen Months EarlierJason had been trying to get a hang of the diaper task that he had taken upon himself while Alex kept wiggling around like a slobbery jellyfish while chattering like a Magpie when the call entered.“No, I must get this right” Jason muttered as he tucked his tongue into his cheek and willed the baby to stay put. Alex had another idea and he only tried to roll off the dressing table towards a toy that Jasmine had in her hand at that moment. “Stay put, buddy,” Jason said in a strained voice and the boy only blinked up at him before he said his favourite word at that time “No!” and he continued his activity.Isabella, who was hovering around to take over the task, if her boss failed at it the way he had most times, only smiled and tried again as she said “Sir, let me…let me do it. Your phone is ringing again”Jason huffed and looked at the phone that he had placed, alongside other things that he had in his pocket on the low stool in the children’s room and he looke

“Why would you be calling me?” Jason asked when he was finally able to get over his shock.“I am so sorry about this, Chairman Monroe but I…we need your help,” Jose said from the other end and Jason could have almost smiled if not that he knew what the man meant by “we”. There was only one reason why the proud right-hand man of Andre would call Jason for help. Andre was dead so it couldn’t be because of Andre. So, it can only be… “Young master needs your help, Chairman. Only you can help him now. I wouldn’t call you if I wasn’t sure of that. I…he had no idea that I am calling you but then. I have to. I…hello? Chairman Monroe. Are you still there?”Jason scoffed at the way the man was calling him Chairman Monroe with such reverence. He couldn’t even begin to count how many times that he had stood with Matteo while that bastard humiliate, threaten and do many other things to Jason and his family yet he dared to call him now? For help? Wow!Jason might have decided to let go of his grudg
THE GRAND PATRIARCH IS BACK Chp 173 - Beyond Crazy
Looking at the man seated a few tables from him giving suggestions, answering questions and even expressing his disagreement with the opinion of one of the “stick-in-the-mud” presidents, Jason didn’t have to ask himself that question again. Just the appearance of Matteo was enough to show that Jason had made the right choice of stepping in to save the man who seems to be well on the journey of slow suicide even as the outside world did all it could to push him over the edge, Gone were the sunken cheeks, pallid skin, skinny bones and hollow eyes. It was hard to ever think that the healthy-looking young man in front of him at that moment was the same one who had crazed eyes and erratic behaviour the first time that Jason had all of his drug stash taken away. His mood swings and blubbery cries on his first day in rehab were not something that Jason was comfortable with remembering but at the moment, he couldn’t help but compare that haggard-looking, low-self-esteemed Matteo to the well-d

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
