THE GRAND PATRIARCH IS BACK Chp 68 - Double Trouble
It all happened so dizzyingly fast that Jason couldn’t comprehend it or maybe it had to do with his rapid loss of blood. One moment, Carlisle was advancing on him with his smirk in place. Jason thought he might want to take him out of sight since he presumed that he was unconscious already. He would never know the answer to that. The moment Slasher opened the door and barked at the worker whose frightened face Jason could see from his prone position, the man was cast aside and a hand shot Slasher. Slasher dropped unceremoniously on the floor and Carlisle wheeled back “What is…” the gun in his hands went clattering off as Jason grabbed him from behind to prevent him from shooting Andrea. Carlisle was caught off guard for a moment but in the next seconds, he jabbed his elbow into Jason’s stomach. Right, where he knifed him before and the latter went down. “This is my territory!” Carlisle shouted, his eyes looking a bit crazed as he turned back to Jason. “Nobody messes up my plan
THE GRAND PATRIARCH IS BACK Chp 69 - Loyal Dog
Adrenaline spiked Jason’s system as he looked towards the area where the young man stood before. He was on the floor now choking on his blood as the bullet bit out a chunk of flesh close to his throat in its exit and his blond hair was soaked with crimson now.The area looked as it was earlier. Nothing suspicious but Jason was sure he had seen something fleeting earlier.He tried to wrack his rattled brain as the workers ran towards the young man on the floor and some were looking accusingly towards Jason’s men.“Who the hell did that?” Andrea shouted as she looked warily around. The men looked back at her with the same measure of confusion.It was unerring. The fact that nobody had seen anyone shot the gun. Something niggled at the edge of Jason’s mind but then his mind was getting woozy from the loss of blood that didn’t stop.The young man was lifted onto a makeshift gurney and was wheeled out by Jason’s men after one of them said “He is still alive”“You need to get treated,” Sim

“Why, you are back, Mr Ritz!” Gladys said with an affable smile on her face as Jason and the Deadly Duo got out of the car.Her smile didn’t change even as her eyes trailed down to Jason’s bandaged stomach. Then she looked back at his face and her eyes flicked to Andrea and Simon behind him. “You even brought friends?” she said with a welcoming smile “They will all be welcomed here. I love guests,” she said excitedly. Then she looked behind them like she was looking for someone else. “Sir and your friend didn’t come with you?” she asked innocently.“Oh, you mean Carlisle?” Jason asked with a lift of his brow as anger filled him. Simon had filled him in on what they had discovered. Jason couldn’t believe that he had been fooled by a she-devil in granny wear.His anger rose when he thought of the young man who was at that moment struggling for his life because of this cunning bitch who thought herself too clever.And she was clever. For there has been no Mr Carlisle anywhere. Cain or w
THE GRAND PATRIARCH IS BACK Chp 71 - Moving Fixture
“Here?” Jason asked in disbelief. “Yes,” the girl said tentatively as they stood in front of the old bungalow where she took them. The environment was weedy and full of briars. Jason thought of the fact that if it could be this eerie-looking during the day then what would it look like at night? “They were elsewhere before… closer to the house…. but she ordered to have them brought here yesterday” she looked at Jason before quickly looking away. “After…” “You mean after we arrived?” Jason asked and the girl nodded. Jason figured it was his fault in a way that the girls were moved to this horrible place but then who knows what could have happened to them if he didn’t come at all? Behind the bungalow was a visible marsh oozing unpleasant smells with different, strange creepers emitting sounds and rustling reptiles. It would take the bravest of hearts to even dare to come out here at dusk not to talk of a bunch of kids who were already terrified by all manner of horrors before. “Yik
THE GRAND PATRIARCH IS BACK Chp 72 - Hole in the Floor
The man tried to move it but after a few shifts, it stayed in place. “Damn, I guess I was wrong, sir. I am so sorry, sir” the man said apologetically. Simon turned towards others searching the nooks and crannies of the room. But then a movement caught his eyes in the living room. “No, you are not. Keep pushing” Simon said thoughtfully, with his eyes fixed on the spot he noticed. “But it is not pus….” The man was cut off as Andrea consecutively shot at the fixture and it broke off. Instantly, the big solid slab on the floor revved in a circle and it opened up a hole. In the floor. The men closed by quickly stepping back. Jason hurried over to the place and he saw that there was a suspended ladder from the entrance of the hole “What?” The men quickly came over with the flashlight and Jason shone it down the dark hole. Nothing rustled or moved beneath. Calling out was one of the fastest ways to get killed, he knew but he had to “Hello, who is down there?” No answer. “If you ar

“Millie! Oh my God! Millie!” Jason stayed some distance away from the two females clinging to each other in ecstasy. He did not need to speculate further about the identity of the stoic-looking, woman anxiously looking about the pier. Millie had confirmed that for him the instant she saw her and squealed “Auntie Flo!” Jason was grateful for his fast reflex as she was already opening the door before he parked fully. The woman saw the girl flying toward her and her eyes lighted up as she dashed towards her and they met halfway, hugging each other desperately. They had been like that for a while now. Jason was starting to feel self-conscious as the people passing by were looking at the two ladies with interest. Now they were weeping. Or is that just the woman; Auntie Flo? Jason wondered what was it with women and tears. An uncomfortable memory of another woman he knew who cries a lot came to his mind and he fixed his focus on the two women. “He said it. He believed it. He said you

He couldn’t believe that his father would do such a thing. How could he stoop so low to that point? Matteo couldn’t boast of knowing how well his father’s mind works but even he couldn’t have dreamed of this happening. He was furious as he drove towards the legendary oldest home of the Fitzgeralds. A home that his cruel, twisted-minded ancestor had built from a design drawn up by a bloodthirsty architect who must have had a twisted mind of his own. Or who was paid enough to bring alive the fancy of his worker? A fancy of horror. Matteo could remember how chilled he had been the first day he went down the darkened basement of The Fitzgerald’s Chateau. He learnt what the useless maids and gossiping housekeepers always whispered about. Chained doors with bars and an unspeakable chillness to the air. His young mind had found it fascinating back then even though he had been annoyed that he dirtied his hand on something slimy and gross. Something one of the maids had quickly cleaned of
THE GRAND PATRIARCH IS BACK Chp 75 - Gallantry Gone Wrong
Matteo heard the sound of a crash after he pushed one of the maids out of the way on his way down to the basement. What could that be? He wondered. He forgot to ask Jose who exactly was asked to keep watch over her. Not that the old man intended to tell him about this anyway.The bastard! There would come a time when he would be in charge of Fitzgerald's family, then he would deal with a lot of people. His uncle and Jose being the top of that list, before extending to others like that bastard who thought he could humiliate him and get away with it.They would all rue the day they decided to cross him. The idiot who was given his company already got what he deserved. They would all learn that he was not one to trifle with.He just had to wait for his dad to hand things over to him first. Right after he got her out of this place, he would ensure he did everything possible to make his father think that he was reformed. It was an easy enough act. He had not only been sleeping with girls i

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” “

“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
