THE GRAND PATRIARCH IS BACK Chp 42 - New Owner
“You are leaving?” Silas asked with mouth gaping as he looked at Jason incomprehensibly. “Yes, Sy. I…” “What do you mean you are leaving?” Silas said more loudly, sitting up from his slouching position. “I have to, Silas” “Damn you have to! I just got my best bud back after three fucking years behind those bars that make your teeth want to chatter and now you are telling me that you are leaving? The heck you have to! You are leaving because you want to!” Silas said emotionally. “Is that true, Jay? Are you leaving us again?” Jason turned his head sharply towards the doorway to see Mia looking at him with an undescribable emotion in her eyes, Celia was behind her just giving him that steady look she always has on whenever she was trying to figure something out. Mrs Sloanne nodded towards his direction and quickly made herself scarce. ‘Is that what this is all about? Jay. Telling us all those things and showing us all these just so you can leave us? Again?” Mia said and there was
THE GRAND PATRIARCH IS BACK Chp 43 - Recurring Dream
In a dimly lit room lay woman swaddled up to her neck in a thick covering on a narrow bed, she was shivering violently despite how stuffy the room was, the thin curtains were drawn and a gentle breeze blew the fabrics. The breeze did nothing to reduce the room's stuffiness as it was heated, and neither did the heat in the room reduce the shivering f the woman. It was as if she was untouched by the elements around her as she was shivering so badly that one wouldn’t believe that any human body could survive such a spasm. The tightly shut door cracked open and a moccasin-clad foot stepped through the crack. A moment passed before a hand showed around the door as the door was pushed open and a little dark-haired boy glanced around the room before fully stepping in. He stood by the door for a moment to get the lay of the land and a little smile touched his face when he realised that he had not been discovered, nobody was hurrying after him in the hallway nor was there anyone in the room
THE GRAND PATRIARCH IS BACK Chp 44 - Escort or Carry Him
Jason shot up in bed, breathing heavily. He was disoriented for a moment as the cobwebbed, drafty hallway was replaced by a pristine, warm-toned VIP bedroom with chandeliers dripping mesmerizingly in the intricately designed p.o.p ceiling. It took him a while to realise the fact that he was no longer in the harsh environments of Hope of Life Orphanage but at The King’s Inn, a five-star hotel in Montreau.“Damn it” he muttered to himself as he rubbed his hands over his face and sat up.He thought he had overcome the episodes of dreams from those days since it had been a while since he had any. He realised how wrong he was when he tried to stand and he weaved almost colliding with the armoire.“Shit!” he exclaimed as he sat down at the edge of the bed. It was always the same way. Every ti
THE GRAND PATRIARCH IS BACK Chp 45 - Manager Rox's Brother?
“I am not a criminal. Why would you even think such things when I was only passing by?” Jason said, trying to reason with the heavyset chief.The man gave him a demeaning look. “I have nothing to say to you. The police would handle you when they get here”Jason sighed when he realised that he was not with his phone. He could simply call Charlotte and all this problem would be over.He left his phone in his hotel suite that morning before going for his run though. Something he blamed himself for now as he was surrounded by the hostile security men.Two of them were left with him while the others went back to their posts."This man is a thief. I am sure that he was sent by his mates to scout this place o
THE GRAND PATRIARCH IS BACK Chp 46 - Beat Him Up
The security men were surprised by Manager Rox’s declaration. The smile on Andrew’s face vanished immediately as he thought he had made a terrible mistake. All he wanted to do was to impress the lofty manager and now, he might even get into trouble for that.“I…ah…” he was about to make his excuses when he saw the way Manager Rox looked at Jason.The contempt on Manager Rox’s face was glaring coupled with his cruel smile as he sized Jason up “Oh my dear, dear brother. What a pleasant surprise to see you here after all these years”“The pleasure is not shared. That much I can assure you” Jason said through gritted teeth as he looked at the smug face of his so-called brother. The bastard.“Oh, come o
THE GRAND PATRIARCH IS BACK Chp 47 - Welcome, Chairman
“You are welcome, ma,” Daniel said with a respectful smile as he rushed toward the young woman. He stretched his hand forward as if to collect her bag. The woman raised a haughty brow at him and he quickly dropped his hand. Everyone could see that she had rejected the doorman’s offer before anyway and it was insensitive of Manager Rox to offer again. He was manager Rox anyway so nobody could say anything as he moved back, away from the path of the woman. “Welcome, ma” the security men echoed. “Welcome, madam CEO” the chief security added. Jason was amazed by the woman in front of him. Despite the details that his men had been able to dig up on her. All they could manage to get was just a single picture of her. Even that was not on the public website. His men used considerable means to get the picture. Jason was amazed at how much the picture did not do her much justice. She was looking much younger then. Jason was sure that she would be aged by now as it was publicly declared t
THE GRAND PATRIARCH IS BACK Chp 48 - There is a God
“Chairman?” Manager Rox blurted out before he could control himself. Not in a million years could he have expected a loser like Jason to be called that. He remembered the young boy his parents adopted from the system for the payment. He thought of all he did back then to Jason and the last straw that finally sent him out of their house. His tie suddenly felt too tight and he felt a sudden urge to fan himself. “I am sorry for this…embarrassment” Charlotte said with contrition. “I would have been here earlier to welcome you if I knew” “I was only passing by after my run. I would have come back later to properly introduce myself. But then I was accosted by…” he let his words trail off. The security men squirmed when Charlotte turned the full blaze of her glare on them. The chief security dropped to his knee instantly and the others followed suit. He was sweating profusely as he begged, echoed by the others “I am so sorry for my stupidity… for our mistake. I was so blind to ever thi
THE GRAND PATRIARCH IS BACK Chapter 49 - Too bad
“You can be rest assured that I am not here to take your position or make you step down,” Jason said, going straight to business as he sat on the luxurious, spacious couch that Charlotte offered him.He looked extraordinarily handsome in his navy blue, double-breasted jacket and matching trousers. His collared dress shirt moulded perfectly to his physique accentuating his patterned necktie.His spattered running shoes had been replaced with a glistening dress shoe of the highest quality. Jason looked every inch like the man in power, a far cry from the Jason that was mistaken for a criminal earlier. It was no surprise why Charlotte looked a bit flustered. She waited for Jason outside with some other high-level executives for a few minutes until 10 am. True to his words, Jason arrived at 10 am sharp. The executives were amazed when they saw him as they couldn’t believe that their conglomerate belonged to such a young man.Charlotte had briefed them about Jason though. They all greeted

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

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” “

“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
