THE GRAND PATRIARCH IS BACK Chp 262 - Greed Of Men
Jason managed to catch a few hours of sleep before he woke up to another shocking realisation. Millicent was not in the house when he woke up. He had only crashed in the early hours of the morning and she informed him that she would like to do some horse-riding that morning. The man tracking the source of the jam was done by the time he woke up. He got news for Jason. Unfavourable news. “This is quite unfortunate, sir,” the man said with a contrite expression the moment Jason got out of his room. The man had been waiting for him and seemed to be on the verge of knocking on the door. “What now?” Jason asked, still slightly fatigued and in no mood for long talks. Someone had tampered with your phone and the jam was their way of covering their tracks, sir. Now, I don’t know the exact time you used your phone last but the last transaction on your phone had to do with someone logging in to the company’s account through your account and huge amounts of money were transferred to an offsho
THE GRAND PATRIARCH IS BACK Chp 263 - Little Success
Jason’s face showed prominently on the gigantic tv in the room as two people watched him talk with fire in his eyes. The video was oddly zoomed in a way that nothing around him showed on the screen. Not even his cloth. Only his head showed so clearly on the screen that one could count his pores if so inclined. The clip came to an end when he ordered the reporters to leave his property. The man seated behind the desk chuckled low in a hair-raising manner before he muttered just one word “Repeat” The lady in stiletto heels and dressed in an electric-blue, leather, crop top and a short skirt that barely passed her butt, nodded and picked up the remote to replay the clip. The video runs out and again he said “Repeat” She played it again without question. Just when Jason got to “...or air anything malicious about the Monroe!”, the man behind the desk picked up the gun on his table and shot the screen. Right in the middle of Jason’s head. The screen flickered a bit and went off. The lad
THE GRAND PATRIARCH IS BACK Chp 264 - Elaborate Conspiracy
Millicent woke up to find Jason gone the following morning. She checked his study to see if he was there, but he wasn’t. She sighed, doubting if he had had up to an hour’s sleep before he left the house. She had finally persuaded him to go to bed with her around 4 am that morning. She was sure he wouldn't have agreed if she hadn't told him that she couldn’t hold her head up again and she didn't want to go to bed without him. She had ensured that she heard his breathing even out in sleep before she succumbed to her tiredness as well. She wondered if he had tricked her and got up immediately after she slept. As she went to the kid’s room to check if they were awake, she hoped that they could get to the bottom of what went wrong and catch the perpetrator on time. Millicent had been amazed by the way Jason worked and the network of people he actually controlled. Though there had been just the two of them in the study throughout the night, all the systems had been powered up and each of t

“All the cameras?” Jason asked as he listened to the person talking to him on the phone. He listened for a while as he nod slowly. “So, it was just the one in that particular room?” he listened more and said “Okay, then. I get it” “Investigate everyone on duty that day. No, that week. I want to know everything they did. Who they met. Where they went. Right down to the pajamas they wore to bed during that week. I want everything and I want it fast" he said before he disconnected the call.Jason rubbed his forehead hard with his fingers and leaned back in his chair. He was more than certain that something happened in that hospital room. He was not one to sleep heavily no matter how tired he got.He had not been tapped out after his flight after all, just a bit jet-lagged but that certainly didn't mean he would sleep deeply to the extent that he wouldn't even have an idea that his phone was been removed from his body. And he had not woken up when the person returned it as well? Somethi
THE GRAND PATRIARCH IS BACK Chp 266 - Blood-Sucking Company
James Reed, Chief legal Officer of Paragon Heights was rushing out of his firm with the thoughts of his children on his mind as he moved fast towards his car. He swore under his breath as he could already picture what his wife would say if he missed their children’s school game again. He checked his watch as he reached his car and shook his head at the fact that he would have to move at double speed to get there before they finished the game. “One more thing for Nancy to nag me about” he muttered under his breath as he pulled his car door open. He didn’t pay attention to the sound of movement behind him as he entered his car. But just as he put his hand on the key to start the ignition; a bicycle-riding man with a helmet and the paddings of a rider parked close to him. The man had a formal-looking duffel bag slanted across his body with a crest on the bag and on his khaki-coloured shirt that complimented his shorts well enough. “What the hell?” James Reed said, startled by the sudd
THE GRAND PATRIARCH IS BACK Chp 267 - Aiming for It All
Jason managed to convince Millicent to go home without him that night. It wasn’t easy, as she intended to wait with him in the office, but he finally convinced her by telling her that the kids would be sad if none of them was there to tuck them in or kiss them goodnight. He had to tell her that Anastasia would get him some food before she finally gave him a long kiss and told him to at least get some rest before the day broke. Jason sighed as she left and groaned a bit as he went to the couch in the resting area to lie down for a minute. His head had been pounding so volatilely all evening. He had told Millicent that he was fine after she made him take aspirin because he knew she wouldn’t have let him continue working if she had known that it was still raging. “Damn headache” he muttered as he closed his eyes briefly. After assigning his men to the fieldwork that James Reed and his men might not be able to cover, he pulled up everything he could get regarding Sebastian Randall. Mill
THE GRAND PATRIARCH IS BACK Chp 268 - Bastard in Bora Bora
The shit hit the fan before the day broke. It was sent anonymously to every social media in the country. Soon enough, it was reposted by so many people that it was hard to keep track of where it started. Only one was posted though. The post about bloodsucking Paragon Heights getting its profits at the detriment of the people. Before 7 am, many organisations have heard about it and they were picking up on it as well. Many passionate organisations and foundations were eloquent about companies endangering the lives of animals for corporate proceeds and were already writing and posting articles about Paragon Height’s cruelty. The post wasn’t only national but international-wide. Many people who wouldn’t dare to utter a bad word against the conglomerate jumped on the ship of public opinion. The company’s phones were on going crazy as early as they were turned on, with different news outlets asking for clarification about what they have heard and the opportunity to be the first station t
THE GRAND PATRIARCH IS BACK Chp 269 - Life Could Be
Jason was able to fulfil his children that evening. He left the company on time to the delight of Millicent, who had the chef made the delicious Mexican pot roast that he had come to love. Jason ate his fill that evening, buoyed by the presence of his family around him, physically and otherwise. As he watched Jasmine try to pull a prank on Alexander, only to be refuted by the latter; he remembered the calls he had had from Mia and Silas. They had both seen the posts online and were worried about him. Silas wanted to come down from Hollywood to help out in any way that he could. Mia also had the same thought even though she still had the bulk of their game company on her shoulders. Matteo’s operation was successful and he was back in Dengal but he was warned against doing anything strenuous till his spine surgery would get finally healed. “He will be able to walk again” Mia had declared impassionately that afternoon after Jason had dissuaded her from coming over to Montreau.

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
Chp 315 - Millicent 2.0
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
Chp 313 - No Ordinary Car
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
Chp 311 - Saint Jay
“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” “
Chp 310 - Any Good News
“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
