THE GRAND PATRIARCH IS BACK Chp 235 - The Tempest
“What is she doing here?” Millicent muttered beneath her breath to Anastasia as Victoria approached them from the other end of the galley where they stood. “I thought you knew, ma. She…” “Mrs Monroe, how wonderful of you to grace us with your beautiful presence,” Victoria said as she got to them. Her wide smile in place, she held the confused Millicent by her shoulders and air-kissed her cheeks. “Wow, isn’t this delightful?” she said as she leaned back. Her face was impeccably made-up and she looked like someone that just stepped out of the cover of Vogue. “Yes, I am sure it will be that if I know what this is,” Millicent said warily. Then she turned to Anastasia “What is going on here, Ana?” Anastasia cleared her throat before saying “Miss Harrison is the representative from Khan Maal Corp, ma” “Oh,” Millicent said, stumped by the fact that she was just learning about that. “Oh is right, Mrs Monroe. I am surprised that the chairman didn’t inform you about such details. Seeing t

Just as Jason was thinking of how to handle the tension between him and his wife, he got another call.He was surprised to see the number again. Considering how their conversation had ended the last time. He picked up and waited for the person on the other end to talk."I know that you don't owe me a favour" Liam Monroe started. You are kidding. Jason thought."Not allowing you to have anything to do with Dad's burial is not the right thing to do. But he was specific about what he wanted when he finally departs us. So, I couldn't... Well, I am sure you don't need to know all the details after I deny you the opportunity of being a part of it. Erm, I will understand if you don't want to have anything to do with me. It is not like you know me anyway. I...""What do you want, Liam?" Jason asked. He was tired of the young man's rambling. He doubted that he was as embarrassed as he was trying to portray. But since he regretted not giving his uncle the benefit of the doubt, he was willing t
THE GRAND PATRIARCH IS BACK Chp 237 - Death Wish
Just like every other entitled, arrogant young master, Liam Monroe soon forgot the fact that he was in Montreau because he needed help. Soon enough, he was ordering the household staff around, having late-night parties in the condo that Jason got for him and barely improving much on the reason why he was in the city itself. Jason had a conversation with him about his activities and he promised to change but before the week rounded out again, his neighbours were sending notifications to Jason about the disturbance in the neighbourhood. Especially about the unsavoury characters he was having as friends."How do you even know those people already? You were not even here a week ago" he started, perplexed about the young man's conduct.Liam merely shrugged with his roguish smile and said "What can I say? I make friends easily. People love me" He was a man of average height, which was surprising considering the fact that Michael Monroe was a tall man. He was of a slight build as well. Hi

The cold steel doors of Rayford Penitentiary looked on impassively as a warden flipped through a huge leather-bound register. He tore a page off the register and input another entry into the register. He looked around at the two wardens sleeping peacefully in their chairs and he scoffed. He put his cell phone to his ear and said “Done, over to you. Don’t mess this up”In another part of the prison, a warden tiptoed to the desk of another sleeping warden, he waved his hand in front of her face. Assured that she wouldn’t steer, he plucked off the bunch of keys at her waist. He moved swiftly towards the end of the corridor. He quietly opened the reinforced door there and moved in stealthily. His eyes were on the guard stationed in front of another door there. He gingerly took the guard’s hand and placed it on the electronic keypad device on the door. There was a beeping sound and the door opened while the sleeping guard only chewed his mouth in sleep, his goatee twitching drunkenly befo

The warden outside took over, and in less than a minute, the woman was outside Rayford Penitentiary. After telling the last warden that the other one had more money with him, of course. She smiled to herself as she imagined those wretched idiots tearing at each other's throats soon, when they realised that one of them had done them dirty. "Take that, fuckhead" she muttered with a little satisfaction.A car pulled up instantly and she got in. Fire alarms blared from the penitentiary just as the car glided down the road away from where she had been imprisoned for months.“Welcome back, madam,” the driver said.“Where is he?” she asked testily.“Young master is waiting for you at the agreed spot,” the driver responded.A chopper whirred in the distance as two figures embraced each other. They separated, and their faces were illuminated by the lights from the aircraft.“I am happy to have you back, Mum,” Jessie Kavinsky said. Then he looked towards the chopper and said, “Everything is rea

“What is going on, Jay?” Mia asked just as they were about to say their goodbyes. She had called to speak with the kids, but Jason got home while they were at it and they had their discussions as Jason went into his bedroom to undress.“What do you mean by that?” he asked, though he sort of had an idea of what she meant.“Between you and your wife of course. She was also so cheery when we chatted and all. I thought I was the one overthinking it, but then mom mentioned it the other day too. What is going on, brother? Anything happened between you guys?” Mia asked.“You mean apart from the fact that we are busy with the acquisitions and this business deal with Khan Maal? She is the company's COO, sisto, and just like every one of us, she is busy too,” Jason said with a smile. “Nothing is going on, Mia. I can assure you that I will be the first person to know if something is wrong with my wife,” he said firmly.“Are you lying to me, Jason?” Mia asked.Oh, for God’s sake. I have got enoug

“Working late?” Victoria asked as she ducked her head into Millicent’s office. Millicent looked up from the file she had been staring at nonstop without making a head of it since she got back to the office. Her face became passive when she saw that it was Victoria. “What do you want?” she asked. “I am sure someone elsewhere can get it done for you,” she said. “Ouch, that hurts, Mrs Monroe,” Victoria said as she came into the office fully. “In case the handwriting was not clear enough on the wall, that is my subtle way of saying you are not welcome in my office. I am sure you do not have an appointment with me” Millicent said baldly. “Well, double ouch. But since I have a thick skin as you have noticed, I would simply ignore that and lend my very cooperative ear since you look like you could talk to someone right now” Millicent scoffed as she leaned back in her chair “And what makes you think I will talk to someone like you?” “Well, maybe because I know that you don’t really have

Disappointed that he had not been able to catch up with Millicent as he had expected, Liam was drinking at O’Toole’s bar while having his eyes on one of the perky waitresses, whose breasts were almost spilling out of the tight-fitting uniform. “I will be hitting that before the night is over” he muttered as he caught the waitress's eyes again before he sipped his drink. “Yeah, slut. I know you want some of this big daddy” he muttered with a leer, his eyes travelling down her cleavage as she bent over to serve another table. Oh, yeah. That perky ass would be getting it. “First of all, eww” he turned around to see Victoria talking to him as she took the next stool beside him. She trailed her fingers across his shoulder before she placed her bag on the counter and continued “Second of all, ain’t you supposed to be the cute, little, reformed, cousin for our dear CEO? What the heck are you doing here drowning in…what poison do you have there?” she said as she peered into his cup “Do I ev

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
