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

“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

“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
THE GRAND PATRIARCH IS BACK Chp 92 - Awake? Not Really
Jason’s heart thumped hard in his chest as he heard Celia’s voice. She was sniffing and he found it hard to hear what she was saying.“No, no, no,” his inner voice said in a litany as he was quiet, listening to Celia as she tried to control her tears.He finally found his voice and he asked tentatively “Mum? What happened?”“Silas… he…he…” Jason became agitated as he heard her sniffle again on the other end as the tears overwhelmed her.Oh, it cannot be. He thought in anguish before asking in a calm voice that was nowhere near what he was feeling at the moment. “Mum, please calm down okay? What happened? Where is Mia? Why are you there alone?”“Oh, forgive…” she sniffled again “Forgive my silliness. I am not alone, Aurora is here with me. Mia is with the doctor. He is awake now”“Who? The doctor?” Jason asked in confusion. What did he care if the doctor was awake or asleep? He just wanted to know if his friend was…“Oh, don't mind me,” Celia said with curt laughter and her voice sound
THE GRAND PATRIARCH IS BACK Chp 93 - In-law to the Oil Baron?
“You have a father?” Jason blurted out in surprise as he looked at Charlotte's nearly expressionless face. “Wha…yes, I have a father” she responded with a slight frown as if she found his question stupid. “I assume everyone does” she added in a dry voice. Jason was mildly annoyed by her tone but he dismissed her taunt as unimportant when he asked directly “What was this I heard about you being picked and helped by my master when you have nothing and nobody?” Her expression changed a bit before she kept it emotion-free again. “That is a long story,” she said simply with an involuntary movement of her shoulders that could have passed for a shrug. “Keep it short,” Jason said simply in a no-nonsense tone that betrayed that he wouldn’t take no for an answer. She gave an imperceptible sigh but Jason heard her before she said “I…something happened between my dad and mum when I was young. Too young to remember. I was living with my mum and she became sickly. I could remember then that she
THE GRAND PATRIARCH IS BACK Chp 94 - Moving In
Charlotte couldn’t understand what his outburst was all about. It wasn’t as if they had spoken much about their personal life and she did not expect that they would be the type of couple that have much to say to each other. She expected their marriage to be the type where they barely stayed together in the same space for long since it was mainly based on business. She had taken it as a form of partnership and seeing as she had never really thought of marriage as an essential factor for her even though she was not averse to it; she had agreed to his proposition. She realised that she might have been wrong about her assumption. It has been barely a week and here he was making demands already. The fact that she felt like a nervous ninny in his presence most of the time was also another thing she had not put into consideration. Men don’t fluster her but the young man in front of her who at the moment looked like he would love to shake her till her brain rattled in her head, was another
THE GRAND PATRIARCH IS BACK Chp 95 - Face-Off
Earlier that morning...Jason had taken Rodriguez out of the gym where he made a nuisance of himself to the hotel bar.Jason in his calculation had let it slip that Charlotte was not the one in charge of the company now.“How would you feel taking on a man who wouldn't mind fighting dirty with you?” he asked Rodriguez that morning and the latter still spewed some bluffing bullshit even though Jason could see him calculating the odds. Over glasses of piping whiskey that Jason dared him to take if he was such a man, Jason subtly but firmly hinted at just how he wouldn’t find it as easy nor as assuming as he had been finding it the past week to go against Charlotte and Paragon Heights.“And who would stop me?” Rodriguez had said that morning, slouching on the chair as he lifted the side of his lip cockily before lifting the whisky to his lip. He sputtered as the hot liquid went down his throat but he decided not to cough out. That only made his eyes water and Jason gave him a mocking s
