THE GRAND PATRIARCH IS BACK Chp 212 - Deers In A Headlight.
Well, MINE seemed to have a different idea altogether. Jason soon realised that when he got to the office one day and was given surprising news by Anastasia. He had been out on a business lunch that afternoon and he just got back to the company when she hurried to his office. “Sir?” she said as she knocked. Jason turned around to see her displeased look. “Hmm, what’s going on, Ana?” he asked absentmindedly. She didn’t hesitate as she strode to the front of his desk. “I thought she liked it here, sir. She had been doing incredible work these days and had proven to be a great asset to the company indeed but then she gave me this today. She intends to leave in a week!” “Calm down, Ana. Who intends to leave in a week’s…” Realisation dawned on him before he finished his statement and he opened the sheaf of paper in his hands. Carefully worded, she articulated words of gratitude, how she had loved working there and appreciated all the support she had gotten but it was time for her to

He ignored the fury on her face as she hit her head against the edge of the window while bringing her head out. He was mildly amused by the way Phils got out of the car guns blazing as he shouted “What was that, man?” then “Oh, ah, it is you, sir?” when he saw that it was Jason. Then he looked at Millicent, who was rubbing at her temple, then back at Jason’s passive face as he said “I…ah, I brought Miss Dimitrios home after we had dinner sir” “I can’t remember asking” Jason answered calmly. “Eh? Oh, that is right, sir. okay, sir. Goodnight, sir. Goodnight, miss” With that he got in his car and hightailed it out of there. Millicent stood looking at him as if she was expecting something. Since he was not about to stand on her sidewalk and gawk all night. He said “What happened to your own car? Why is he driving you home?” She let out a disbelieving scoff “What? Seriously. You are just going to pretend you didn’t just startle us and make me hit my head?” “Why would you be startled

Jason firmly told Anastasia the next day to start looking for a replacement for Millicent’s position. “Just do a review of the qualities of our capable staff and promote the most qualified,” he said firmly, his voice inviting no contradiction. “Yes, sir,” Anastasia said immediately. Though she felt like saying something else. She didn’t. She got someone else for the position within two days. And informed Jason that Millicent had started the handing over of her duties to the man. “That’s great,” Jason said. He raised his eyebrow at Anastasia when she still stood there without saying anything. “Anything else?” he asked but she shook her head negatively and went out of his office. He still had not informed his children yet though he had told Isabella. He had even informed Celia about it when she talked about meeting his “family” again. “What? That is sad. I really think there is something there” she had said but she changed the topic when he insisted that there was nothing to say abou
THE GRAND PATRIARCH IS BACK Chp 215 - Anticipation And Disbelief
The nerve! She had the nerve to come to his office the following day. Not to talk about business nor to talk about the fact that she was done with the handover and would be leaving the company. Though her one-week notice still had one more day to complete, he couldn’t wait for her to leave. The earlier she left, the better! For his children. Because he couldn’t care less. In fact, she was as good as gone to him. Though his head jerked up from what he was doing immediately he perceived the scent of that distinct perfume of hers. He chalked it up to nothing but pure coincidence. He just happened to look at that moment. Yes, that was it. The hand she raised to tap at the side of the door paused when she saw him look up. She gave him a tremulous smile as she said “Oh, I am sorry. I was just…can I have a minute, please?” Jason raised his brow as he leaned back in his chair. Turned his pen around in his hand before he said “I am busy. Whatever you want to talk about, tell Ana. She will
THE GRAND PATRIARCH IS BACK Chp 216 - Some Explaining To Do
“Slow down, for God’s sake!” Millicent said desperately when she almost fell while being dragged by Jason. He had been so furious when he heard her voice in his children’s playroom laughing like she had nothing to worry about. “Well, he was about to give her plenty to worry about!” he thought as he went to the room. She certainly wasn’t expecting him back at that time since she looked at the clock with an amazed expression. “Yes, nosy. I can decide to leave the office early and spend time with my kids without consulting with you first” he thought sarcastically as he locked his gaze with her above his head. “Daddy!” Alex and Jasmine said excitedly as they ran to hug him. They had hardly greeted him properly before they started talking about how happy they were that he let Millicent come to see them. “Yes, I did. Didn’t I?” he asked sarcastically as he looked at Milicent. His questions loaded. He took his eyes off her and told the kids about what he got for them. Their pure excitem

Millicent struggled to get up immediately, digging her elbow more into his rib. “Oh, goddamnit! Just stay still. Will you?” he gritted out through clenched teeth. “Stay still? Stay still?” She said as she looked up at him. Her eyes were so close to his that he could see himself in them. “I…” She swallowed hard and said “Someone will come in and they will see us like this. Then…” “Then what?” he asked with a sudden grin, trying to mess with her “You might as well start your explanation or I will ask whoever is on the other side, which is likely to be Isabel, to open the door and then they will really see us like this” “How can you…” she stopped and raised her brows. “You are with the key, ain’t you?” “Oh, you think I will only have one key for it? You can call my bluff and find out” he said. He was trying so hard not to notice the way her body moulded to his. The way her heart was still racing fast against his. In fact, the tempo seemed to have increased. He ignored the way her sce

TWO MONTHS LATERJason never did turn into a toad. Not to talk of being a handicapped one.But he did manage to convince Millicent into marrying him. Well, not without a little help from his adorable kids whom Millicent seemed to have a strong attachment to. And of course, little episodes that had to do with harmless stalking, coincidentally been in front of her house just when she was coming out of it.Also, the main highlight which had kept her in Montreau; An assistant of Miss Dimitrios cancelling her flight. Well, that had almost made her decapitate Jason and tear him from limb to limb but after a few altercations, she had finally listened to reason and Jason soon became more appealing than the handicapped toad she would have gotten married to. They were getting married.Yet that was the least of things to come to a decision on for the about-to-be-wed Monroes. The kids were thrilled when they were told that they got to spend their holidays at Dengal with Celia. Of course, they ha
THE GRAND PATRIARCH IS BACK Chp 219 - Menace To A Man
Khan Mal was said to be an oil and leather company, which was under the radar until a few years ago when they started taking over companies. Buying them out or forcing them out of businesses according to Jason’s sources. Khan Mal Corporation was based in Japan but the owner was said to be of Bangladesh descent. Over a few years, they had become a force to reckon with. Jason had heard of the Corporation before but he had only recently paid more attention to them when he heard that they were bidding for the same contracts. So he couldn’t afford much time to think of what his wife-to-be might be thinking when the company have a competitor who was willing to do all it takes to get the contract. That wouldn’t worry him if not for the fact that he had learnt that Khan Mal play to win and they don’t mind getting their hands dirty in the process.Hence the reason why it infuriated him was that he couldn’t concentrate on figures and data as much as he could because he was thinking about his t

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
