THE GRAND PATRIARCH IS BACK Chp 280 - Bloodthirsty Maniac
Millicent was far from fine.She gingerly opened her eyes and shut it tightly as that singular act seemed to set off an army of little people doing acrobatic in her head. Her head was pounding with excruciating pain. "What happened to me?" her groggy mind tried to compute as she slowly opened her eyes again. She blinked up painfully at the patterned pop ceiling in confusion. Something was not right. She instantly remember why. The meeting! She was supposed to be meeting up with Victoria, not sleeping in her hotel room.Hoping she was not late yet, she intended to get off the bed immediately. She yelped as biting pain and restraint held her back. But her yelp only came out as a muffled sound.Millicent's eyes widened as her brain finally seemed to catch up with the sensation in her body. She turned her head to see what had held her back. And she screamed again. Yeah, still only a muffled sound.Millicent was tied spread-eagled on her bed and her mouth was duck-taped too. Since her at

"I will see you again, friend," Bastion said as he shook Jason's hands. By then I can assure you that Rat Raf would have paid by then. He has one more thing to pay for now. Taking me away from my baby at this time" He said before he entered the car, which one of his flannel-shirt-dressed men opened for him. "Wait, Bastion has a baby? Or does he mean his woman?" Jason thought randomly as he headed towards his car. Then he scoffed at himself as he thought "And you care because?" He shook his head at himself. "What matter is that Raf would pay" "Then I would be able to get rid of this unnecessary anxiety for life," he said aloud as he pressed the button on his keypad to unlock his car. Bastion didn't check the list of how many mafia lords looked and acted. For example, his men were always dressed in casual wears, looking like laidback, regular guys, until you see them in action, of course. Which had happened when a drunk had gotten too close to their table in the deli where they met.

Millicent shuddered uncontrollably as Khan Maal trailed her body, from the neckline of her blue chiffon top to the edge of her suit skirt, with the wicked-looking knife in his hand. He laughed horribly as she quivered in fright. The look on his face wasn’t one that one could have attached to the affable-looking, richest man in Japan. “He took everything from me! That little nothing!” he yelled, then he inhaled deeply and smiled at her again. “Now, I will take everything that mattered from him. Starting with you” Then he tilted his head aside as if a thought occurred to him, then he said “Actually, you are not the first, but you will be a painful addition” When Millicent’s whimper increased and her eyes widened as he moved closer to the bed slowly, he only laughed more. She tossed her head from one side to the other, wishing he would just let her talk at least before he carry out whatever horrible act he intended to carry out on her. Her wish was unexpectedly granted when he suddenl

“Lemonade please” Anastasia requested the moment they got to the restaurant and a waiter came to them. “What?” she asked with an innocent smile when Liam gave her a weird look. “Lemonade? Seriously? In a spot like this?” he asked. “Call me weird but lemonade has always been my pick-me-up drink when I am tired, sad or even doing a pity party” she returned unapologetically. “Hmm, you are full of surprises, Ana” Liam said with an appreciative look. "But I am sure that you won’t get “lemon aide” at a place like this. They will be expecting the ladies to ask for wine, you know. Not…sorry to say, kiddies drinks” “Then they don’t deserve all the hype” Anastasia responded. Then she turned to the waiter “Is that true?” “Actually…” the waiter started sheepishly “I am sure I can get you that” the waiter said. "Would you like to order your meal now?” “No, thank you. I will do that after I have my drink” she responded. “Right. Lemonade” the waiter repeated. Then he looked at Liam “What can

“You will be sorry if your delay cost me something vital!” Jason said as he rushed out of the hotel elevator that took him to the floor where the room number was. He was sweating profusely and he looked harried, unlike his normal cool, collected self. A woman rushed after him, just as anxious as he looked. “Sir, I am only trying to let you know that it is against the hotel’s rule to just divulge our customer’s details or let you go to their room just like that. Please come to my office and we can discuss…” Jason ignored her and tried to open the door of STE 22. It was locked. He looked back at the manager of Mongolia Hotels, who was looking at him anxiously. “Sir, why not call…” “Are you sure she is still in?” Jason asked one of the staff who followed their manager up with Jason to the suite. The staff looked at the manager, then sharply nodded at Jason. “She got back this afternoon when I just resumed my shift and I haven’t seen her since,” he said hastily. “Sir, I still think…
THE GRAND PATRIARCH IS BACK Chp 285 - Real Hell
Assured that he was not being held as a suspect, but they were just doing their job according to protocol; Jason finally explained to the police officers how he had known that Millicent might be in trouble. He told them about Victoria’s call and the fact that he thought; that this might be connected to Khan Maal.The police officers looked at each other in surprise and the look on their faces was not just of surprise; but of disbelief as well. They did not believe that theory. Everybody knew Khan Maal after all and it would take more than just a foreigner’s words for them to believe the most philanthropic, influential man in their country might not be so generous after all.They promised to get to the bottom of the case before they left. “I am sure that your wife will be fine, Mr Monroe,” the female police officer said before they left. Oddly, she reminded him of Celia. That thought seemed to be an eye-opener and he remembered that he had not contacted anyone at home since he got to T
THE GRAND PATRIARCH IS BACK Chp 286 - Space Interest
Khan Maal’s call jolted Jason out of his thoughts, where he sat at his wife’s bedside, watching the rise and fall of her chest as she breathed in and out. On her own. If a gaze intensity could wake someone, Millicent would be up and about at that moment.He had been assured by the doctor that she would be fine. The cut on her chest was not a stab as Jason had feared. It was more like a nick that happened when whoever perpetrated the acts cut through her top down to the navel with a sharp object. The doctor assured him that the baby was fine as well. The doctor’s major concern was just that there was trauma to her head because she had been hit too many times on the head and that could lead to neurological problems. “Let’s just hope that the complications are mild, sir” the doctor had said sympathetically. Then he added “According to her vitals, she should be awake soon” he had said before he left Jason with her in the room. That had been three hours ago ad Jason had not been able to
THE GRAND PATRIARCH IS BACK Chp 287 - A Psycho Would
The Deadly Duo got to the hospital around 4 am in the night. Jason was seated, wide-eyed beside Millicent when they arrived. He explained the stats to them. They were also amazed that Khan Maal had called him.“Do you really think he might be so stupid that he would call you even after doing this?” Simon asked.“Well, psychos have been known to do a lot of things and this is something that a psycho would do. So, yeah, he could make the call despite knowing the consequence. It could be to gloat or just to show that he has the upper hand. The question is, why would he even do this? Your wife doesn’t strike me like someone who goes about making vindictive enemies” Andrea said, with her eyes on Millicent. “Are you sure she didn’t remember what got her here?” “Positive. She vaguely remembers every other thing. But I don’t think she remembers even getting back to the hotel not to talk of what happened in there. That part is blank for her. I can’t force her to remember, you know. She keeps

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

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” “
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
