THE GRAND PATRIARCH IS BACK Chp 179 - Disturbing Thoughts
“Daddy, who is she?” Jasmine asked in curiosity as she climbed down from Jason’s arms. Alexander was already pulling at Millicent’s pant trousers, not giving a care that the pretty, tall, lady barely managed a strained smile as she looked down at him. She didn’t even bend down to call him cute as most people would do nor did she tell Jasmine that she was an adorable girl even though he knew for sure that Jasmine was not adorable. Annoying maybe, though he wouldn’t tell his dad that. Still, Alexander liked the tall, unsmiling lady and he was fascinated by her pretty hair that cascaded down her shoulders, he had never seen anything like it before. His aunt Mia’s hair had been the most beautiful he had seen before but this lady’s hair even beat that. Of course, he wouldn’t tell Aunt Mia. She loved the jelly beans that she snuck for him when Jasmine wasn’t looking. Even Ganma Celia’s hair was beautiful but it is short and not as fine as this lady’s hair. So the first thing he said as he

The situation was worse than Jason had anticipated. One thing was certain though. That beautiful, bold woman whom he had met twice and even resented for being the reason why he had not seen his master before his death, was well on the verge of death. As Jason finished the conference meeting that he had with her team of doctors which included a nephrologist, a hepatologist, a cardiologist, an endocrinologist, and an allergist and headed by a renowned doctor who is known to be skilled in most areas of specialities; he felt more disheartened than he was before he made the call. All he could get from the six of them was that they truly had no idea of what had been injected into her system, especially since it had been a while before her full treatment started; the substance had spread to different areas of her organs. Her lungs had the worst hit but her kidneys, liver, heart and even her skin were not left out. Though they were giving him reassurances, Jason could see that at this point,

The audacity! The fact that she continued walking without so much as looking back to answer his query was galling enough for Jason. He had no idea why but the girl infuriated him with almost everything she did. She was going to learn who was in charge! As much as he would have liked to shout at her and demand that she answered him, he merely folded his arms and smiled in a chilling manner when he saw that she threw him a furtive glance before she took the turn that lead to the kitchen. “Did she expect me to run after her like a mad man? Silly twit” he thought to himself before he speed dialled a number on his phone and only said “Bring her to the gazebo. Quietly, do not startle the kids” “Yes, sir” a sound said on the other end and he disconnected the call as he tucked his car key back into his pocket and he took the back door instead. A toned-muscled gardener looked up from his task and bowed slightly in Jason’s direction, he nodded back in greeting and went on his way. An o

She did not have the chance to scream or attract the kids' attention, which was sure was her intention, before he had her arms tied and her mouth gagged with the strips of ribbon that someone had conveniently left behind in the gazebo. Probably Jasmine. Jason mused at the irony of tying the woman, whom Jasmine did not like, with her ribbon.“Is she here to be my new mum?” she had whispered to him in question the other time.Yeah, right. As if he would want such a banshee like her around his children. Jason thought in vexation as he slightly rubbed at his shin, prepared he must have been, but she had still been able to get one in. Just not at the point where she had intended.He leaned back on the settee with his arms folded as he showed her his apparent amusement at her muffled yells and glare.“We can do this all day or you can stop yelling and let me know when you are ready to talk like the adult that you keep insisting that you are '' he said slowly.More muffled yells and he simpl

They barely saw each other in the next few days after their altercation. Jason knew it was ridiculous but he would rather feel that way and stay away from that volatile girl than have her rile him up again within the blink of an eye. Damned if he knew why she was able to get under his skin that fast.He had given her specific instructions through Isabella and though he had expected her to rebel against him just for the sake of it; so far she had been cooperative.She was to stay away from his kids.She was to resume her work as the intern manager of acquisitions and she was to listen to and obey the manager who would be her direct boss. She was not allowed to run amok in the city or go anywhere without informing Isabella first.She was not allowed anywhere near his room or his office at all times. She was not allowed to seek an audience with him. If she wanted something in the house, she was to ask Isabella. If she needed something in the office, she was to ask her direct boss.Jaso
THE GRAND PATRIARCH IS BACK Chp 184 - Totally Unexpected
Florence Gail’s heart stopped. Jason gave the doctors feedback about the decision they agreed on. Millicent figured that her aunt had more chance been alive with the surgery done than without it. Jason agreed with her as well since the alternative would mean that the spleen infection would spread through the body since Gail’s immune system had stopped working altogether. The doctors were informed and arrangements were done immediately. Jason refused to let Millicent fly over to the hospital alone as she had intended. He went with her after doubling the security of the house and ensuring the kids that he would be back home before they get back from school the following day. For once, Millicent didn’t argue with him and the journey was eerily quiet in the company jet that Jason had recently commissioned to make official assignments hassle-free. Throughout the journey, he was oddly attuned to her anxiety even though she did not say a word, she merely sat in her chair, reclined it back

"She did what?!" Jason jerked up in bed and quickly looked to his side to see if had woken his kids. They had insisted on sleeping in his bed the night before instead of in their room and he couldn’t help but think that they were sort of conscious of his sour mood despite the excitement he mustered when he saw them. He sighed a little when Jasmine merely turned over in her sleep, rolling most of her lower body over her brother. The latter was dead to the world as he slept on unaffected. Jason quickly left the room to speak more normally. “Sir? Can you…are you still there, sir?” he heard as he put the phone back to his ear. “Yes, yes, I am here. What the heck were you talking about?” he asked instantly, ignoring the night chill buffeting his bare upper body. “I am so sorry about this, sir. It all happened so fast that the nurses on duty couldn’t do anything to stop her. She had all the necessary papers for evacuation, sir. And a caretaker to take care of the body too. Everything was

Girdwood, Alaska Millicent paused on the rocky path that lead to the stone and brick home. It was just as she had described. Millicent swallowed hard as she remembered how Florence had described the refreshing village of Girdwood that held many memories for her. A place she had promised to bring Millicent before her deteriorating health changed the plan. She looked at the white curtains billowing through the shingled windows of the sturdy home and she heard a thrilling laughter moments before a young lady came out of the house with an urn. The lady had white shorts and a top on and she was talking to someone in the house before she spotted Millicent. The smile on her lips died and she spoke rapidly in a strange language to the person inside. Tears came to Millicent’s eyes as she remembered the strange language that Florence had spoken once to amuse her. The Gwich’in language. She had informed her that her aunt was so passionate about teaching people that language that she was sure

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

Chp 314 - Fantasy Woman
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
