THE GRAND PATRIARCH IS BACK Chp 246 - Final Nudge
Surprisingly, the birthday party ended well with no accidents or unwelcome appearances. The only surprising thing had been Jessie’s appearance at the party. Jason had his eyes on the young man throughout the party but he did nothing out of the ordinary. Jason soon wondered if he was been too paranoid after all. Celia stayed a few more days with them before she went back to Dengal and Silas played dotting uncle for more than a week before he packed his luggage to go meet his crew at Hollywood as well. He took the week off work because of the twins' birthday after all. He was their champion of the week as he regaled them with different anecdotes about the biggest film industry in the world. They even overlooked the fact that their favourite aunt was not there with them to celebrate their day. Mia had been unable to get away from the company due to Matteo’s surgery. It was a success but he was still recuperating in the hospital and was not back in Dengal yet. Jason choose not to commen

“What do you want?” Millicent asked the moment the door closed behind Liam. Jason did not bother to hide his displeasure at her countenance as he said “That is no way to talk to your husband, is it?” Millicent gave him a daring look and scoffed before making a move to sidestep him as she said “I don't have time for this” “Really? You don’t have time for me? But do you have time for my cousin? You had enough time to blush like a schoolgirl and laugh with my cousin yet you wouldn’t even give your own husband the time of the day” Millicent looked at him in surprise and said “That would mean that you believed that you deserved my time. It is my time, in case you need a reminder. My time and I will use it the way I damn see fit!” she snapped at him. “What the hell is this all about, by the way?” Jason asked in exasperation. “One moment we were good and the next you are acting up” “I…am acting up? I am the one acting up? You've got one hell of a nerve pinning that on me when you are t

Jason found the caricature among the piles of the twins' yet-to-be-opened gifts. He and Millicent had searched for it that night after the kids had gone to sleep because Millicent belonged she might have sent another message through the drawing.They found it wrapped and set among the other paintings. One was of the twins together. Another was of them hitting the pinata. Then one of Alex alone. One of the kids with Bo. One of Bo alone. Then that of Jasmine. They could see the difference immediately. Most of the other paintings had been done while the kids had been in motion. All except that of Jasmine. Only that had been done with the girl seated with concentration. Also, the painting style was different. This particular artist didn't seem to be really concerned about getting a detailed portrayal of the girl's features too. It was more of a matter of making a statement.The statement was further made by the signature scribbled at the edge of the painting. "FUCK YOU, YOU WILL PAY" was

Jason's intention to call Heinrich in the morning was put on pause when he got a call from his doctor that he was called during the night about Heinrich's failing health."Failing health? Since when did Heinrich have failing health? " Jason thought in astonishment as he drove to the manor the following day with Millicent by his side. He had intended to go there alone without informing anyone yet since he had no idea of the extent of Heinrich's sickness but she was wide awake by the time he got back to the room and he could see that she had heard the conversation he had with the doctor."Heinrich? What is wrong with him?" she asked immediately as she left the bed and came to meet him in the middle of the room."I don't know yet. They are running tests on him. It might be nothing serious. Maybe indigestion" he said with a shrug, just so she wouldn't worry."You won't look like that if it is nothing serious," Millicent said. "What exactly did the doctor say?"He thought of just avoiding

After a series of tests and days later, Heinrich was diagnosed with neurotoxicity. It was a condition brought on by the exposure to neurotoxins that had in turn affected his nervous system. “I am sorry, Chairman Monroe but this could eventually lead to loss of his speaking ability. He might also be unable to function well and his basic motor skills might fail him as well.” “What?” Jason had exclaimed when the doctor explained to him after making confirmations over and over again through the consultation of the test results. “How soon can these happen and is that the extent of this condition?” Jason asked. “It could be months or years. The condition had tampered with his nervous system a lot hence the reason he slumped. It all depends on the amount of the causal chemical that he was exposed to. For his age, it could be fatal, especially since his body just recovered from the Ginkgo sprouts poisoning orchestrated by the former Mrs Kavinsky.” “Yeah, I remember that. Any idea how he c

There was to be a final meeting between the two companies and the UN representatives on the same day that Jason had asked to meet with Jessie.Since he had only gotten the younger Kavinsky to meet him because he had implied to know what he was hiding, Jason decided not to miss out on the opportunity of uncovering the mystery of Heinrich's poisoning once and for all before the mother-son duo could hatch up another plan.So, he sent Millicent to the meeting while he went to meet with Jessie.He waved at Jessie as the latter entered the coffee shop he was waiting at. Jessie had on a pair of grey, biker shorts, a green polo shirt, green sports shoes and a very pissy mood as he strode over to Jason's table. He dropped his keys on the table and sat with a mutter of "You all need to stop these impromptu calls. I have exams coming up for fuck's sake""Oops, sorry about that. I am sure you've got this" Jason said. Jessie

Jason didn’t want to cut the Deadly Duo’s holiday trip short, so he didn’t bother informing them about Aria’s case and the fact that he would be meeting up with her in Tahiti. He made arrangements with his men and they were already waiting for him in Tahiti with the necessary cash and enough reinforcement. Since Aria had only intended to tell Jessie her current location only when he landed in Tahiti, he couldn’t tell them to surround the location yet. They were on standby waiting for him to give them a signal. Jason almost felt sorry for Jessie during the duration of the flight. The young man was so restless and jittery that Jason had calmed him down with alcohol. He slept for the last leg of the seven-hour flight. Jason supposed it was good for him.

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.

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
