THE GRAND PATRIARCH IS BACK Chp 193 - Ranger's Dog To The Rescue
The next few weeks were a succession of frustrated efforts for Jason and his men. All their efforts to get the man that injected Florence were nothing but in vain. Someone was actively sabotaging their efforts and the Deadly Duo were getting pissed about the fact that this case was taking them longer to crack. It had been easier to deal with Millicent's abduction than it was to get this one man. It was as if he had disappeared from the surface of the earth. It brought up the unsolved case of Millicent's dad's killer as well. The team had their hands full with different plans to ensure that they bring the killers to book. What they have been unable to link was if the two killers were linked or the same people. They had to ask Millicent some uncomfortable questions about the day her dad was killed. Jason had to hold himself back from stopping Andrea when she was doing the questioning because he had never seen Millicent that discomfited before.They had come to an arrangement and she h

“Please tell her she is being stupid and selfish!” Silas said as he changed the call to a video call. “Please tell him to stop calling me names or I would kill him!” Mia, said as she came to the phone. Her platinum hair swung in tandem with her long earring. “Nobody is killing anyone here but I think you need to reconsider your decision, Mia. this is Matteo we are talking about here. A Fitzgerald! Has it been so long that you have forgotten what they did to us?!”Celia asked in agitation. She shook her head and looked towards the screen. “Hi, Jason. Please talk some sense into her” With that, she left the room. “Why don’t you all understand? Why can’t you see…” she looked back towards the screen “What? Are you about to tell me that I am selfish too? That I should be a sworn enemy with him?” she asked with apparent intent to give Jason a sharp retort if he confirmed her thoughts. “Wow, I am just surprised. I thought you used to hate him so much. This is Matteo we are talking about r

“So, it is true,” Jason asked in astonishment as he looked at Simon. An opened file was in front of him yet it still seemed ludicrous that what he had once read in Christos files was true. “Yes, it is true, sir. You have an uncle. What I can’t say yet was if he was aware of your existence after the incident but he was close to your parents when they were alive. He was friends with Christos too” Jason wondered when all these huge surprises would stop sneaking up on him. It was just as if he was swamped with things to decipher, solve and unravel these days. Not to talk of the silly feelings that he wasn’t supposed to be having but he seemed to be having towards a particular someone the more time they spent together. Taking his mind firmly off that line of thoughts, he looked at his right-hand man, who leaned at ease against the bar. “Where is he now?” He asked. He didn’t want to believe that he had a relative who knew that he was alive and left Mams and him to rot after his parent's d
THE GRAND PATRIARCH IS BACK Chp 196 - Twin-Blindness Syndrome
The documents Millicent got from her grandpa were indeed enlightening and equally frightening. She had kept it from her aunt because she knew the latter wouldn’t have approved of what she intended to use it for - to use it in exchange for information from Jason about who killed her dad. She had had it before that time that she went to meet Jason at the Mausoleum in Seychelles. That was before she knew that there would be more tragedy in her life. According to her, she had only scanned through the barest of information. The part about Christos knowing Jason’s biological parents. Angry at him and trying to get back at him after the gazebo incident, she had read extensively through the documents. And that was when she realised something else entirely. The origin of Paragon Heights. Apparently, Paragon Heights had not been the name of the company that beget the now mighty conglomerate that Jason inherited. It was Monroe & Co. Ltd. Monroe & Co had started as a steel company created by Man
THE GRAND PATRIARCH IS BACK Chp 197 - Daddy, We Like Millie!
Jason had the dream again. Only that this time it was different. This time, it wasn’t as vague as it used to be. And he finally knew what the dream was about. It was the night his parents died in the fire accident. From the tidbit he had been able to get from Christos's journal about that night and news from that time that he was able to dredge up. The fire had started in his dad’s home office. He was said to have been working late that night. And in his autopsy, stated that his heart had given out even before the smoke got to him. His airwaves were not filled with smoke. Which means he was not even breathing at all when the fire started.When Jason read so late into the night and he got to that part, he couldn’t help but feel warning bells in his head yet in the reports, it was believed that he had heart issues before the fire incident. The cause of the fire was never found and it was chalked up to an electrical fault. The two people who could have refuted or supported that claim we
THE GRAND PATRIARCH IS BACK Chp 198 - How The Tables Turned
Jason went to Dengal. Not just because he had to see his family and to see the arrangement that Mia got going with Matteo first-on, but because he needed to talk to Matteo about the suspicion he once talked about. Matteo believed that Sonia and Don had a thing together. One of the doctors, who tended to Andre before his death finally sent a mail to Jose years later that his Andre’s death wasn’t as simple as supposed. Too bad that the doctor was no longer available to give more detailed reports about what he meant by not-so-simple. The good doctor was found dead in his sleep weeks after sending the mail to Jose. That was when Jose, who had thought the doctor would only cause his healing young master more grief, finally relayed the information to Jason.It was the same week after Jason returned Don’s property and men to him. Jason had a deja vu about the warning bell he had when he accepted Don’s request. He did not want to believe that Don could be capable of doing such a thing because
THE GRAND PATRIARCH IS BACK Chp 199 - Powerful Presentation
“Athens! Thank you for having us!” The crowd went wide as Silas and his crew took their bow. Silas’s smile deteriorated as he went immediately backstage. He could hear the announcer telling the crowd the crews’ social media handles and asking them to follow them for more exciting events updates. As he went to his changing room, he could hear his team members hollering and congratulating themselves for killing it again tonight as they had done in the four cities that they had been to already in the course of this tour.Silas knew that he should be out there celebrating with them. He should be giving them the kudos they deserved for being the best. He should be congratulating them for rising to all the rigorous tasks that he had put them to and making something exceptional out of it. But at the moment, he couldn’t. So he only laid out flat on the day bed in his changing room and stared at the chandelier.He was tired of fighting with his family. He couldn’t remember the last time he ha
THE GRAND PATRIARCH IS BACK Chp 200 - No Ordinary Meeting
“And he wouldn’t pick up his damn phone again!” Mia said in frustration, then she paused as she said “Well, actually, the phone has been unreachable. But I am sure that set out to frustrate me! If not, why would he call when I am in the middle of a freaking, important meeting and then…make his number unavailable when I decided to call him back?” Mia ranted to Jason over the phone. Jason chuckled “You know it doesn’t work like that. He couldn’t possibly control the network now, can he? I am sure it was just a network issue. He will call back” “He could have! I put my phone in airplane mode, remember? What if he did the same? Or what if he regretted calling and he switched off his phone so that I couldn’t call back? He could have done that!” “Then it would have said…” “...That the number is switched off” she completed. “Yes, I know, I am being silly. Still, I think…” “Well, why don’t we stop overthinking and just agree that he would call back when he can? He is on a tour, remember?

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
