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

“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?

Don denied it.Jason was used to the way Rafael’s face never portrayed any emotion no matter what was going on. As Don sat down and he saw the way Jason was looking at the men, who stood at attention behind him, he laughed and told Jason not to mind their presence.“We were coming from an…outing when I got your call, leader. That is why they are here” he said, with his cold smile in place.“Oh, I see,” Jason said, also with the same stoic expression on his face.“Aah,” Don said slowly as he looked from the men to Jason, then he looked back at the men before he said “Okay, boys. Go wait for me outside”The men touched the tip of their hats again and they left, leaving Jason and Don alone.“There. Is that better, leader?” Don asked with an odd inflexion on the word “leader”“Oh, I never said I have any problems with having your armed men here, Rafael. Did I?” Jason said as he leaned forward to pick up his mineral water again.Don’s smile left his face as he said “True. True”“Would you

Jason said his goodbyes to his family in a very obvious and public manner. After spending two more days in Dengal, he took both Celia and Mia out shopping. Despite Celia's protests while Mia dragged them from store to store, Jason could see that she enjoyed the outing. It was just like the old days. Their conversations were easy and there was laughter.He took them out to eat and he announced that he would be leaving the next day. Mia's exclamation of "Ah ah, so soon?" as she dropped her fork, could be heard by everyone in the restaurant. She looked back at the customers with an apologetic, embarrassed smile before she nudged Jason's leg with an accusation of "Look what you made me do" this time done in a whisper.Jason laughed quietly as he nodded "Yes, I know. I am sorry, princess""Don't "I am sorry, princess" me like you are talking to Jas" she said as she made a face at him."Says the person, who is acting just like that little girl right now," Celia said with a chuckle."Mum!
THE GRAND PATRIARCH IS BACK Chp 203 - Jason's Conviction
His entry back into Dengal was the opposite of how his exit was. That same evening, Jason was back in Dengal. The two days he had spent in Dengal, after meeting Don, had indeed been enlightening. They finally found an ex-barman at Don's favourite club, Dury’s Drudge. It had taken some persuasion and the option of relocation before the man told them about Don and Sonia. The club had rooms in the back designed in peculiar ways to suit VIP patrons of the club. Don was a VIP customer. With a very peculiar taste indeed. The barman recognised Sonia immediately and he explained how they had met in the club most times. Sonia was given a key to the back door by the owner, on the directives of Don. That was all the man had been able to say. Jason fulfilled his promise of getting the man out of Dengal and he was well on his way to Australia even as Jason put other plans in motion. All they could prove at the moment was that Don had adultery with Sonia. That didn’t mean that he killed Millicent

“This is not the time for unnecessary thoughts,” Jason thought to himself before he cleared his throat and told Isabella “Please, make the kids come to the pho…” he was still talking when he heard. “Isabel, we turned the soil the way Millie taught us. I did most of it!” Alex’s voice rang through the house. “Liar!” Jasmine’s voice followed. “I did too!” “You only did small!” “I did more than you!” “Kids, kids. Enough of that now. Chairman wants to speak to you” “Daddy!” Jason heard the rush of feet as the kids’ voices got closer to the phone. He switched to video calls and spoke to them. Seeing their soil-smudged faces made his heart swell. It was a feeling that he would never get tired of. The wonder that these brilliant kids belonged to him. To Charlotte and him. After chattering away for a while, they said their goodbyes and called Isabella. “Sir? Miss Dimitrios. She would like to speak to you” Isabella said with a peculiar smile. Jason still had no idea why she was always h

SOFIA, BULGARIA Dafina Antigonos Stadium The crowd’s roar of excitement could be heard from miles away. Sofia’s biggest, infamous stadium was filled to the brim with excited fans of SkyHigh Robotics dancers. Even Silas was amazed by the fact that they have that many fans in faraway Bulgaria. When his manager had listed the City of Sofia as the last place where they would perform, he had been sceptical about the turnout. He had only decided to let it be just so he could see how far their reach have gotten. He couldn’t wait to execute the new routine they have added to their repertoire. They had deliberately saved the best for the last and he could feel the excitement from his team as well. He called his family before they went onstage. Jason’s number was not going through. He had been able to speak to Mia for a couple of minutes as well. She seemed harried. Silas knew the reason why. It was because of…that thing she was working on. At least he had been able to have a hearty talk

Jason got the message just as he was setting out. He thought of the ten-hours time difference between Bulgaria and Dengal. He couldn’t believe that they took action in the early hours of the day. There was no longer any doubt in his heart that the deal was Rafael’s doings. He must have been monitoring them just as they were monitoring him too. After giving orders to his men. He called Don. The call was picked on the first ring “Hey there, leader” Don said with a mocking inflexion in his tone. “I didn’t know you have it in you, boy. I am sure you must know how much of a loser you are by now. Now if you are calling for another little meeting of yours, I am sorry but I will have to decline, son. You are going down. Should have stayed in Montreau, enjoying your little plush company and minding your business. Now? You are going down” Jason was taken aback by his absolute shamelessness “I just have a question. Why? Why Master’s son? Why the hospital hit? Why Andre?” Don laughed on the ot

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
