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
THE GRAND PATRIARCH IS BACK Chp 87 - Fickle Fate
Jason left Paragon Heights that evening after rejecting Charlotte’s offer to have her driver drop him off at wherever he was heading to. Jason rejected the offer because first, he had no idea where he would be spending the night yet and second, he didn’t want to impose on her. He decided to take a long walk after being led out through the back of the company. “There is less hassle that way,” Charlotte said with a small smile “It was how I have been able to avoid those pesky people so far” Jason smiled to himself as he walked on the busy sidewalk leading away from Paragon Heights to the bus station where people stood to take the bus back home. People seemed to have poured out of office buildings in drove and they all seemed to be in a rush to get home. “Somebody is always rushing here” Jason mused as he sat on one of the waiting wrought-iron seats that a woman with squabbling kids just vacated as she shouted at them to get in line. Dengal was more like an exotic, middle-aged woma
THE GRAND PATRIARCH IS BACK Chp 88 - Apologise, Rodriguez
Jason could feel himself choking as he tried to claw his way back to consciousness. He struggled for a while before he finally shot up with a gasp. His hand flew to his throat again panic before he looked around and his breathing changed in relief. His dilated pupils gradually changed to the regular soulful black. The panic had gone out of it. “What the fuck was that?” he asked the empty room. He was bewildered as to the reason for the dream he just had. He stood up and went to the window. He clicked on the curtain-opening button and the heavy, patterned burgundy curtains slowly rolled back. The sight of the approaching dawn taking over the darkened sky helped to calm him down more. As he stood there trying to get his jumpy system back under control, the sky slowly changed from the faint ashy colour borne of the day sneaking up on the night. It changed gradually and soon, the first glorious tinge of the day took over the sky, dominating in its most refreshing way. That new breath o
THE GRAND PATRIARCH IS BACK Chp 89 - Your Deal
“Not so charming now, are you?” Jason said in a mocking tone. He was pissed that his plan to get in a workout to clear his head before leaving the hotel to start his day was disrupted yet his tone sounded so laidback and relaxed. Jason knew it was an advantage for him to get to assess the imposter one-on-one as well. The fact that the idiot had no idea who he was was another advantage for Jason. He stopped the treadmill and stepped off it as the man asked “Do I know you?” his tone had turned contemplative and he was openly sizing Jason up. One could see from his look that he was confused as to whether Jason was worthy of his respect or not. “Isn’t that a stupid question for a man who had been on almost every TV available in the last week to ask? You do know that people watch TV, don’t you? Even him?” Jason said as he nodded towards the gym attendant who still had his hand on his face, where the man backhanded him. “Oh, now that he said it. I think he looks familiar” one of the men
THE GRAND PATRIARCH IS BACK Chp 90 - Shell-Shocked
A few distances from the company, Jason could see that the situation was different from how it was the day before. The road leading to the company seemed busier than before. He rolled his eyes as he heard a reporter filming the surroundings as his partner speaks into the microphone clipped to her shirt “We are in the surrounding of Paragon Heights right now. You know we would always work tirelessly to get you…”Jason snorted in the rental car he got to ride to the company that morning. Just as he was heading towards the entrance where he could already see reporters crowded the way they had been the evening before, though their numbers had increased now. He saw about three paparazzi motion at themselves and they headed after a car that headed towards the path that led to the back entrance of the company. He slowed a bit as he wondered what they were so curious about. He almost dismissed it as their curiosity would mean that they could leave the company entrance but then he paused.“W
THE GRAND PATRIARCH IS BACK Chp 91 - The Kiss
“Why did you do that?” Charlotte said under her breath as the airconditioned air of the company welcomed them as they entered. Employees in suits, with file folders and wide eyes, gave them hasty greetings as they moved from their parts.Charlotte wondered briefly why her workers, well, his workers now were acting like that, then she looked down and saw that she still had her hand in his.She tried to pull the hand out but Jason held on to it. He pressed the elevator button and took her in with him.“I think you should leave my hand now, sir,” She said quietly as the elevator silently took them to the topmost floors, digits and lights flashing on its console as the box moved.Jason gave her an amused smile before looking down at their entwined hands. “I think I like it better like this,” he said simply with a roguish smile.The elevator stopped at the topmost floor and they both came out. They took the archways stairs that led to the rooftop. Charlotte wondered briefly how he had know

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
