THE GRAND PATRIARCH IS BACK Chp 79 - Married After All
Celia just gave him a long look and bursted into tears. In a way that was even more heartbreaking than Mia’s garbled rambling. It was as if she couldn’t stop talking as she went on and on about how she was sure that it was Matteo that intended to kill her brother. “He is not waking up, Jay. I teased him over and other but he wouldn’t even look at me! This was all that bastard Fitzgerald’s fault. Celia shushed her as she looked around towards the people at the other end of the corridor. The ICU was a bit isolated from the other ward rooms but where they were standing was not far from the other waiting area where other families were waiting on their loved ones. Families that knew so well about Fitzgerald’s name. Jason could see one elderly woman looking discreetly away after she had swerved her head towards their direction from Mia’s outburst. “What happened?” Jason asked as he looked apprehensively towards the door, behind which his friend lay at the moment fighting for his life. He
THE GRAND PATRIARCH IS BACK Chp 80 - A Bimbo?
Despite the tension of the moment and the anguish in his system about the condition of his friend, Jason felt a smile creep on his face and his tension eased when he heard her voice caught and there was a pause on the other end.“Hello, anybody there?” he said in a teasing manner.“I…” she could be heard clearing her throat from the other end. “Yes, I am here….eer” she seemed lost for words.“Husband? Jason? “ Jason supplied helpfully with the teasing note still in his tone.“Eerm…Jason” she completed finally, although her voice got so low that it was barely perceptible.“There. Not so bad” Jason said. He wondered fleetingly why hearing her voice dissipated his anger. He did not even know her that well yet. This might not be such a bad idea, after all, he mused.“Uhm” she seemed to agree with him and that widened the smile on his face. Who could have thought? “I called you because of an issue” she finally said.The seriousness of her tone alerted Jason to the fact that what she was ab

“Your wife?” Jason heard a disbelieving voice ask from behind him and he turned to see Mia looking at him with her mouth agape. “You…you have a wife?”Oh shit. Jason thought “I will talk to you later”“It is fine. I understand” Charlotte replied in a somewhat strange tone. Jason disconnected the call to focus on Mia.Her eyes fired at him “You are married? How? When? Did you plan to never tell us?”“Mia…”“What Mia? What Mia are you calling?” she asked heatedly with a sheen of tears in her eyes. “I thought you were too upset about what happened and you were probably out here doing God knows what” she flung her hands aside jerkily “And you were here talking to….” she paused as if she couldn’t even comprehend what she heard as she gave him an askance look “...your wife? Did we mean so little to you that you wouldn’t tell us something that important?”“Mia, you know that isn’t…”She turned abruptly and entered the hospital back. Jason saw her swiped at her face as she walked fast towards
THE GRAND PATRIARCH IS BACK Chp 82 - In For It
Jason’s phone buzzed on his way out of the hospital and he swore at what he saw as he read the message “He was the one that orchestrated the accident. He is currently undergoing treatment now though. He was shot and had been there for days now, sir”Jason swore once again before putting away his phone “That bastard!” he decided to put his matter out of his mind for now while he dealt with the impostor strutting about with the spun tale of being the owner of Paragon Heights.“Keep an eye on him and let me know when he gets discharged” he sent a message before zooming out of the hospital park. ********************************Grim-faced and anxious, Andre looked on while the doctors examined his son. He was tired and getting drowsy but his eyes were sharp and alert as he looked on anxiously. Sonia was standing to one side, looking on as well. Her gaunt face looks stark against her porcelain skin. She looked so different from her former appearance and she found it hateful that the ma
THE GRAND PATRIARCH IS BACK Chp 83 - Disgraced Bride
Sonia’s scream was muffled by the exotic padding of the room and could barely be heard outside but those in the room were almost deafened by it as she ignored all elegance. She kicked and clawed futilely at the men carrying her like a bag of rice back to where Andre was seated. He emotionlessly collected the gun from Jose whose deadpan expression made it difficult for one to know what his thoughts were at that moment. The doctors were not so skilled in the art of poker face though and apprehension was written on their faces. The younger doctor looked like he might follow suit in Sonia’s screaming episode. He looked closer to fainting as he mopped nervously at the sudden sweat that beaded on his forehead. Dr Frederick cleared his throat as the bodyguards threw Sonia to the floor and stand back. Their stance was alert and ready as if they were anticipating the moment she would try to run again. “I would suggest you keep calm, pre…” “Did I hire you personally with exorbitant payments
THE GRAND PATRIARCH IS BACK Chp 84 - Off The Rocks
Jason had no idea what he expected on his way to Montreau but it wasn’t what he met. First, when he tuned in to the news accidentally while trying to put on the stereo; the first thing he heard was “...and regarding our feedback on the Gibson and the mystery man saga, things seemed to be heating up. The mystery owner had been on several talk shows to prove to the world that Paragon Heights truly belong to his boss. As we speak, Gibson hadn’t given any update regarding that. Interestingly though, rumours about CEO Charlotte’s secret wedding had been abuzz and you can rest assured that we will give you the necessary update regar…”“Don’t these people have better things to do?” Jason muttered to himself as he slammed his hand on the steering wheel. After handling his car key to the airport valet he walked briskly to the terminal and in no term, he was around on his way to Montreau.Another indication that the news had gone viral was when the cab man that carried him tried to engage him
THE GRAND PATRIARCH IS BACK Chp 85 - Call Me Jason
“Please, come with me sir,” Charlotte’s PA said after giving the guard a dressing down for not being discerning before she guided Jason in. Jason knew why she looked familiar now. He had seen her the first day but she had only quietly taken down notes that day. He had not heard a word from her. She looked different today though.Her fierce tone seemed like something she had picked from her boss and her presence was commanding enough for someone who was the personal assistant of the CEO. She pressed the button on the elevator and stepped aside for Jason to get in before following him inside.“Where is she?” Jason asked immediately the buzzing sound of the elevator indicated its movement.“She was rounding up a meeting when she sent me down here, sir. She should be through by now, I believe.”There was something about her voice, even though she looked everything like an Englishwoman, her accent begged to differ. “Where are you from?” Jason asked offhandedly.“From, Kansas, sir” she rep
THE GRAND PATRIARCH IS BACK Chp 86 - Brilliant Idea
A knock sounded at the door just as Charlotte was explaining what she had done so far to Jason. A slight frown marred her perfect features as she looked towards the door.“I am sorry, s…” The rise of Jason’s brow stopped her from adding the sir. “I just…” she gestured towards the door and Jason nodded. He smiled to himself as she turned away. He still couldn’t figure out if she was truly unnerved by him or if it was merely his imagination. Enough time to find out. He mused.“Yes?” she said in the direction of the door with a snappy tone.Her P. A entered immediately and Charlotte’s frown increased. The girl knew not to interrupt her meeting after all.“I am sorry, ma…and sir,” she said to Jason in extension. “You gave the directive that I should let you know the moment he is on TV again, ma”The frown on Charlotte’s face metamorphosed to interest as she said simply. “Put it on”. Her P. A moved to the tv console at the other end of the room to put it on.Charlotte turned to explain t
