THE GRAND PATRIARCH IS BACK Chp 291 - Friend Will Understand
Bastion Alverro, Capomandamento of the Alverro mafia family walked in a clipped pace towards his awaiting car. His consigliere and right-hand man, Alejandro Santos, threw the cigarette he was puffing aside and he opened the door for him. Then he saw the look on Bastion’s face. “What is wrong, boss?” he asked instantly as he came to meet Bastion halfway. “What?” Bastion said, then he looked towards the hospital, then back at Alejandro. “We are done here,” he said. “Let’s bring the good news to Padre,” he said as he entered the car. “Oookay” Alejandro said, unconvinced but he dared not question the most powerful man in Italy, even if he was also his friend, so he quickly entered the car and he reached for the start button. “I saw her” Bastion’s distant tone stopped him. Alejandro quickly turned back and looked at his boss. “Who is…?” A quelling look from Bastion stopped his question and his eyes widened as he realised the only person that could get his boss in such a mood. The gir
THE GRAND PATRIARCH IS BACK Chp 292 - Momentary Setback
Anastasia rushed into the building as Phils found a place to park. She checked her watch and smiled as she saw that she still had five more minutes before the bid session started. She was trying to pull out her folder from her bag and was not really looking at where she was going. She collided hard with someone and her bag went flying. The folder with the monogrammed initials of Paragon Height fell out of her bag. Embarrassed about her uncharacteristic clumsiness, Anastasia quickly bent down as she uttered hurried apologies to the man, she had collided with. He beat her to the folder though. He picked it up and handed it to her. “You need to be more careful, lady,” the middle-aged man said as he handed her the folder. Anastasia hastily thanked him as she caught a glance of the time, she was cutting it close now. She apologised for bumping into him, once again before she rushed off. What she didn’t really register at that moment because of her anxiety was that the man looked a bit f

Millicent was still good confused with most things and she still couldn’t remember what had happened in the suite that day. But the doctor had signed her off on a clean bill of health so Jason flew her back to Montreau. He was happy that the kids were not at home to witness it when she looked at the surrounding in confusion before she finally realised where she was. She nodded at him, with a small smile as she said with slight uncertainty.“We are at home” Jason hated the fact that she was filled with doubt whenever she wanted to make a statement. It was as if she couldn’t trust herself to be sure about anything. Jason wished he could lay his hands on Don at that moment. The bastard had turned his vibrant, self-assured wife into a shadow of herself. She was resting in the bedroom when he gathered the staff together and he informed them that Madam was a little “tired” from an incident that happened during her trip. “All I need from you all is for you not to do anything that could af
THE GRAND PATRIARCH IS BACK Chp 294 - COO's Situation
Jason had to call his personal doctor to check on Millicent even after she calmed down. Liam and the staff didn’t find any intruders on the property. Nobody had seen anyone enter or leave the room long after Jason had left it. Not even Liam had seen anybody since he just got out of the shower when he heard the scream. “Mrs Monroe is doing fine physically. Just as the other doctor had said, she is fit enough to be discharged. The only thing she needs right now is enough rest and a serene environment. She doesn’t need anything that could stimulate her negatively or affect her mental health. If that could be taken care of; I am sure her momentary confusion will be taken care of in no time and she will be back to her normal self” the doctor said before he left. Jason immediately called Heinrich to ask about his health. He informed the older man that he would be over at his place to see him soon, and then he informed him that he would like for Isabella and Bo to come back now since they

“You are filing for bankruptcy?” Jason looked up from the file that Anastasia was showing him, to look at Liam’s enraged face as he barged into his office without knocking. Jason saw his new secretary wringing her hands behind Liam. Jason could see that she had tried to stop his cousin but the latter had barged in nonetheless. She was probably thinking that Jason would fire her on her second day of job. Jason only motioned for her to go back to her spot. The lady inclined her head and quickly went back to her seat. “That will be all for now, Ana. Be back here in twenty minutes. I am sure I will be done with our COO by then.” Jason told Anastasia. “Yes, sir,” Anastasia said before she left the office. “Mr Monroe” she said in greeting to Liam but he ignored her. “What has got you in such a state, Liam?” Jason asked. “You know you can tell me if the stress of being the company’s COO, temporarily, of course, is getting to you, right?” “I don’t give a fuck about that!” Liam snapped.

Senator Cavendish was in a bad mood because of his long-term secret that was on the verge of becoming a public anecdote. He still had no idea how Anabella had heard about his secret child with his former secretary, but he had a very good guess. It must have been that bastard, who threatened him into selling his oil company and rig. Now he not only has his problems on hand but he also had to deal with the backlash that could arise from pissing off the businessmen who had been supportive of him during the election. Right after dealing with Anabella. She was his utmost priority at the moment. She had to be or things could turn really ugly. He could already imagine how his opponents would spin the story. Anabella wouldn’t tell him how she knew the county where his former secretary and his son were, but she had threatened divorce and that would be a very disastrous thing for Cavendish. He could even lose his senatorship. Which was unfair. He had sworn off having affairs after all! Hadn’t

Things got more heated at Paragon Heights.Someone seemed to have divulged the information of Paragon Heights trying to file for bankruptcy to the press. Soon enough, reporters were swarming wherever Jason was, just to get an interview and know his opinion about the rumour they have been hearing. Jason had not granted any interviews yet nor had he accepted Phils' idea that they should put out a press release statement. “I still think we should just talk to them. At least tell them something” Liam said as he got into the car beside Jason as the latter tapped the driver that he should move. They were just leaving the building where Jason and Liam had met up with a potential buyer who had shown interest in buying Paragon Heights. The reporters were waiting for them outside and they had to rush through them to enter the car before they will block the car’s path. Jason gave Liam a curt look before he let out n exasperated sigh. Looking back towards where the reporters stood in clusters,

Gunshots resounded methodically and fast as released pigeons panicked in flight and tried to avoid their fates. One by one, they dropped as each shot took the life of each of them. Helplessly and unable to help one another, the birds flapped their wings in an attempt to escape. Their majestic flight was no match for the bullets intent on cutting short their lives. One. Two. Three. Four. Five of them dropped miserably. Their wings were forever silenced from flapping. Some of them with the chance of letting out a last, agonised cry and others departed the world without a sound. The shooter paused for a moment and the last bird let out a triumphant call of celebration. A sound that was shortlived as it was cut short by the release of another bullet accompanied by a booming sound. Like a brave warrior, the bird turned in the air as if to keep flying. Then, it dropped. Joining the litter of dead carcasses on the grounds of the shooting range. “Your aim is as sharp as ever, Boss” Alejand

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” “
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
