THE GRAND PATRIARCH IS BACK Chp 217 - One-Eyed, One-Legged Toad
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

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

Jason just couldn’t stop himself when he heard that breathy question of hers. He kept moving slowly towards her. His hands twitched in his pocket as he stood directly in front of her, forcing her to look up at him from the couch where she was seated.The graceful column of her swan-like neck begged for his mouth but he controlled himself enough to say, “I must be a fool to not have noticed that I have the hottest fiancee in town.”When her lips parted slightly in surprise. The little glimpse of her tongue that he could see beneath that small opening was crazily arousing. He doubted that she knew what she was even doing as she looked up at him with myriads of emotions chasing each other on her expressive face. At first, she thought it was confusion he saw, but he wasn’t so sure after all. He shook his head as he reached out slowly to tuck the hair covering her exquisite face behind her ear. “Hell, the hottest in the world. I can’t believe it took me this long to realise how lucky I am
THE GRAND PATRIARCH IS BACK Chp 221 - A relative? It Can't Be
Chapter 221 - The relationship between Jason and Millicent grew into one of politeness and support during their engagement. Jason knew that he should be happy with the way things were working. After all, she seemed happy enough but he realised that the more she smiled and showered his kids' love, the more uncomfortable he got. Something just wasn’t right but most couldn’t see it with the way they showered her praises about her hostess skills and what a great couple they were. The house renovation was done and Jason discussed with Mia about having an engagement party. Something that he thought could be something she would love since he had no idea what he was doing wrong for her to be this epitome of the perfect fiancee, which he would have loved, but not when she became more and more distant from him every day. With the help of Celia, Mia and Anastasia, he was able to pull off the surprise engagement party at the top event centre in Monroe. She seemed genuinely pleased with the sur
THE GRAND PATRIARCH IS BACK Chp 222 - Unhinged Relation
Just like a phoenix risen out of ashes, Jason gets to see the man he had only seen in pictures, read and heard so much about, in real life. Michael Monroe. Fit and well-aged with a smile that could charm socks off ladies, he was waiting for him in the living room with a glass of cognac in his hands. He was dressed in white all though, white shirt, jacket and shoes. Right down to the watch. Jason entered his home to see his family seated in awkward silence around him while the man went on and on about how happy he was that he was reconnecting with his nephew, Jason. Alexander, who was busy peering at the man’s watch, when Jason and Millicent entered, ran to his dad. “Daddy! Do we have a grandpa?” he asked loudly and those in the room laughed awkwardly as they looked at Michael, who only shrugged with a smile as he kept his gaze on Jason. Jasmine, who was with Celia ran towards Jason while addressing her brother “We don’t have a grandpa. We only have grandma Celia. Right, Daddy?” she

“Are you okay?” Jason heard Millicent’s voice behind him as he stood watching the taillights of the Mercedes Benz, that drove Michael away from his home. He looked back at her with a smile. “I thought you would have gone to your room by now.” “I did…well, we did. Before Isabella came to take the kids to their room. Which wasn’t easy, since Jasmine seemed to think that the engagement party was supposed to go on till morning” she said with a rueful smile. “Of course,” Jason answered with a smile of his before he looked out towards the driveway, where Michael’s car was nowhere to be seen. He looked back at Millicent as he heard her sigh. “You can talk to me, you know?” she said when he gave her a questioning look. “About?” he asked, though he knew what she meant. “Jason,” she said softly. “Oh, there it is. She finally called my name” Jason said suddenly. Millicent frowned at him “Of course, I use your name” she said defensively. “Really? Do you? When was that because I can only
THE GRAND PATRIARCH IS BACK Chp 224 - Full-Of-Suprises Fiancee
It was called the wedding of the century - Jason and Millicent’s wedding was. It was the type of wedding that Sonia had dreamt of with Matteo. It was the kind of wedding she never get to have despite all her schemings. It was a wedding that had hopeful mamas sighing with the prayer that their children will be lucky enough to meet someone like the influential and beloved billionaire who rose from nobody to become a household name. Most of them talked about how lucky Millicent was among themselves while few of them said it right to her face. Not malevolently though, even if some were a tad jealous of her good luck. Jason was wowed by the amount of publicity that his nuptials generated. It was as if the media were more excited about the wedding than the couple themselves. Phils had managed to convince him that it would be a good thing if they could do live coverage for the event. Though Jason had rejected that idea at first, Millicent convinced him that it would further enhance his im

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

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
