THE GRAND PATRIARCH IS BACK Chp 18 - A Situation
Jason excused himself when he heard Theo’s voice and he went to the kitchen to speak freely with his bodyguard.The Rouarke’s home was an open-planned two-story with bedrooms upstairs and a living room, kitchen, and laundry room and a cloakroom. The kitchen doubled as the dining room. Jason could remember having so many fun moments in there since the day he entered the home. Celia had placed a steaming bowl of mouthwatering lasagna in front of him that day after getting his details. It was by far his favorite room in the house.He leaned against the counter, facing the door as he picked up his call in case anyone entered.“Of course, I am going to tell them,” he thought to himself in defense as he felt a bit guilty for not telling his family about his new situation yet. “I just needed to find the best explanation first”“Was I not specific enough, Theo?” he snapped into the phone “What situation warranted you to contact me in the middle of a conversation when I specifically said not
THE GRAND PATRIARCH IS BACK Chp 19 - Matteo's threat
“First, tell me this” Jason said as he came to sit, facing Mia “Are you or mum being threatened? Second, why on earth didn’t you tell Silas if it is something he could do something about?”“No, we are not being threatened or anything. It had to do with me directly anyway” Mia said slowly then she sat upright to face him “Look, Silas wouldn’t have been able to do anything. Not against him. He had tried before and look where that got us”“So it is him? Who the hell is the person, sorry mum. Also, what did he do to Silas?”Mia went silent as she drummed her lacquered nail against her glass.“Mia?” Jason prompted her, wondering why on earth was his straightforward sister being edgy about the bastard’s identity. Whoever he was. Someone came to mind easily but then he dismissed the idea. That bastard did not even know his family so there was no way he could…“Okay, okay,” Mia said cutting off his thoughts. She confirmed his suspicions when she said “It is Matteo”“What?!” Jason thundered as
THE GRAND PATRIARCH IS BACK Chp 20 - He Is Different
Jason couldn’t believe his ears. She was talking about the man that was about to marry Sonia days ago. Who would be married to her right now if he hadn’t arrived? It defied logic and he asked, “Even though he was about to get married?” Mia snorted indelicately with a look of distaste on her face “I don’t think that word holds much meaning for him, you see. When Aurora found out that he was an engaged man in one of the tabloids she loved to hoard and I threw it in his face the next time he blocked my path with his men, he merely laughed. I was so sure that would get him to back down especially if I told him that I would inform his fiancee and the tabloids about what he was doing with me. You won’t believe what he said” “What?” Jason gritted out. “My fiancee knew what she was getting by marrying me. I am a lady's man and I did not intend to stop but you could make me” she shuddered in revulsion when she remembered the oily grin on the face that had been a waste of such a rotten person
THE GRAND PATRIARCH IS BACK Chp 21 - Sonia's Escape
“What is going on here?” Jason asked when he got to Kalamaro mansion and he met the normally calm Mrs Sloane waiting for him outside, wringing her hands as she paced. She rushed forward as Jason came out of his car and handed the key to one of the men to park the car in its rightful position.“Oh, it is a good thing that you are back, sir. You are welcome” her wedges plopping on the asphalt, she halted at a respectable distance away from Jason, worry evident on her face.“What is the issue?” he asked again.“It is that new maid, the one you introduced, sir”“Why is everyone talking about that girl today?” Jason said in anger “Are you tired of your job now, Mrs Sloane?” his anger cut sharp like a jagged edge towards the middle-aged woman and she swallowed before continuing what she had to say. Mrs Sloane had always seen an amiable look on the new lord of Kalamaro and a smile from time to time. She wondered who angered him so and prayed that she was not about to lose her well-paying jo
THE GRAND PATRIARCH IS BACK Chp 22 - Ghoul Bride
“Why are you shouting at me?! I am not the one pressurizing you, am I?” Sophia shouted, then in her customary damsel in distress display, she made her lips tremble slightly. Her doe eyes shimmered with tears as she made her voice syrupy. “Do you know how much pressure I am going through as well, love? How much scorn do I have to endure from everyone? They are calling me the ghoul bride! Have you seen the tabloids?”She flicked back the tail of her long, shimmery gown when she saw that Matteo had stopped pacing and turned her back on him, fully expecting him to come to her, of course.Matteo let out an infuriated sigh and his response surprised her “Pressure? Do you call that pressure? Do you know how much my father now detested me? Do you have any idea what I have lost? All because of you?”“Because of me?” she squealed as she turned back to him, her coy look forgotten as anger welled in her. Who did he think he was? The bastard. Did he think that he was even worthy of touching her?

Mateo banged the front door on his way out so hard that the sound resounded throughout the building.They were in the Eastwood residence of the Fitzgerald, where Matteo's men brought her after beating up the unfortunate maid. He had pampered her a lot as she complained over and over again about how she was mistreated in Jason’s residence. How she was made to do the work that was meant for a lowly maid. He hired a top-notch masseuse to help massage her callused hands, pampered her with the best of clothing and even hired a personal shopper for her to handle all her purchases as she had complained of not having the strength to go shopping. Whatever she demanded, she got with just a snap of her fingers.Matteo felt he at least had to oblige her for the fact that her wedding had been ruined. Their wedding, actually but it had not mattered much to him. He only did it to pacify her and because he could afford it. Plus the bonus of how it could help him gain more acceptance from his father.
THE GRAND PATRIARCH IS BACK Chp 24 - Taking Over
Ceejay Techme Inc was situated in the upscale part of Dengal. Jason specifically chose that location because of its market value and the higher probability of having access to the right customers, the type he wanted to access.The company was on the ground level of a corporate four- story building that Jason combined money with some acquaintances to pay for, he met a couple of guys at a house party and during a beer-stoked conversation, they all realised that they have one thing in common - the talent it took to start a company but not enough finances.So they came up with a solution.
