As Mr. Barlow gazed at him, Rome uttered no words and his expression remained calm.
After a few minutes had past, he looked the old man dead in his eyes for a while before walking past him and heading into the living room.
Shock took over Mr. Barlow's expression as he stared back at the living room entrance and mumbled, “You can act tough all you want, but the one who's in control is me, and what I say goes!”
When Catherine saw Rome approaching her, she sniffed and then faked a smile.
But he frowned at her and said, “Don't do that.”
“Uh?” Catherine mumbled, striving to look calm.
“I'm your husband. You don't have to fake your emotions in front of me.”
“I'm really oka…”
Unable to end her remark, Catherine rushed over to Rome, hugged onto his body, and cried in silence with her head resting against his chest.
‘I wish I could tell you that your g
When Rome arrived in the lobby, he gazed at the counter and saw that there was a new hostess there. Then he looked ahead of him and walked out of the building. After getting into the car, he stared at the windshield and mumbled, “Take me to the casino.” Asking no question, Mr. Orlando put the car in gear and drove out of the parking lot and onto the main road. The drive took about an hour, and then Mr. Orlando stepped on the brake pedal and said, “Young master, we are here.” Taking in a deep breath, Rome pushed the car door open and got down. Then he headed into the building with K walking alongside him.
Early that Saturday morning, Catherine was still asleep, and Rome’s phone laid just an inch away from her. Suddenly it started vibrating on the blanket, and in between sleep and awake, Catherine swept her hand against the bed for a while before getting a hold of his phone. Then she opened her eyes and gazed at the name on the screen. “Rome, your dad is calling,” Catherine called out when she noticed that he wasn't in bed with her. After waiting for a while without getting a reply, she answered the call and said, “Good morning, Mr. Miller.” The other end of the line grew silent, and Catherine waited for about two minutes before saying, “Hello,” At that moment, the door opened, and Rome walked into the room. Then he gazed at her with calmness in his eyes, then at his phone, and asked, “Who's on the line?” “Your dad. But I think something is wrong with the network.” Catherine mumbled, feeling nervous as she withdrew th
The moment the fellow noticed his colleagues were staring at him and Rome, he faced them, smirked, and mockingly said, “This fool doesn't know who he's messing with.”His buddies giggled faintly, and anger spiked in K’s eyes as he tightened his fist and waited on Rome's command.But surprisingly to both of them, the guy hastily turned around and swung a punch directly at Rome, and before he could dodge, the dude’s fist had already slammed against his bottom lip, leaving a deep cut in his skin.Then he tried attempting a second hit. But at that point, Rome was already pissed, and before he could strike a punch, Rome viciously kicked him in the stomach, causing him to lose his balance and drop to the floor.“I will advise you to stay down!” Rome coldly uttered as he watched him cough out blood.Not listening to Rome’s warning, he tried to stand up, but without any hesitation, Rome side-kicked him in the knee,
The room was silent as Catherine laid on the bed, scrolling through her news feed. But then she raised her head and stared at the door.“You are back,” Catherine mumbled, dropping her phone on the sheet as she stared at Rome.Then her brows lowered when her gaze rested on his mouth and the deep cut on his lip.“What happened?” Catherine whispered, stepping down from the bed.Not knowing what to say, Rome watched her approach him. Then he smiled, but her expression remained cold.“Why is your lip this bruised?” Catherine asked, sounding concerned.It took Rome a moment for him to pick a random thought from his head and then said, “I got punched by a workmate.”“What?”“You know how us men are.”“No, I don't know because I'm not a man, so why is your workmate hitting you?”Silence fell between them, and when Rome didn't answer after
The Saturday when by naturally along with time, and Sunday arrived. That morning, Mr. Barlow entered the dining hall to see everyone already seated except for Elijah.After taking his place at the table, he stared at Dana and asked, “Where's your husband?”“He didn't say where he was going before he left.” Dana nervously replied with her head bowed.For a second, Mr. Barlow frowned at his daughter-in-law. Then he darted his
The dining hall was silent as everyone listened attentively to Elijah’s voice echoing from the phone speaker. Every client in the room quietly stared at Elijah while he rested his elbows on the desk and said, “I know you all are wondering why you guys are here.” “Well, yes. I mean that's the only reason we all came.” A fellow said, sounding a bit annoyed. “Right, then I will get to it.” “Okay,” It was quiet for a few seconds. Then Elijah took a deep breath and said, “I will be resigning from DreamTeam by tomorrow.” Everyone at the dining table looked shocked, including Rome because Catherine had stared wide-eyed at him, and he didn't want to be the only one not surprised. “What!” Mr. Barlow shouted. Swaying his gaze away from Elijah, Davis stared down at the table and let out a sigh of relief, knowing that he had low the call to the last volume on his phone. “What? Why?” A lady asked in dismay as she stare
For a while, Jeff gazed solely at Rome, then his eyes shifted to Catherine, and he thought, ‘Bingo.’ Feeling enrage that Rome had yelled at Dash, Chloe stood to her feet, rested her palms flat against the table as she coldly stared at Rome and harshly intoned, “Who the hell do you think you are to order my husband around when you are a lesser being than him!” “Chloe, sit back down and shut up!” Dash said as he glared at her with a hint of annoyance in his eyes. “What?” “Sit down. We should be worrying about your father and not be causing more problems for ourselves!” Feeling embarrassed, Chloe remained standing as she threw Dash a dirty look. “Your husband is right,” Dana said, gazing at her daughter with a touch of worry in her eyes. “Mother!” Chloe angrily mumbled. “Chloe, your father is not on good terms with your grandfather right now, so this is not the time to be putting up an attitude!” “I know, but…”
The room became quiet as everyone, except Rome, stared in shock at Mr. Barlow.As a sense of desperation overcame him, Elijah reached for his father's feet, held it, and pretentiously cried, “Have mercy, Father.”But Mr. Barlow pulled his feet from Elijah’s grip and said, “It is you who deserves their recognition, right! Then go and get it on your own! From now onward, you will not use my last name to your advantage!”Consumed by rage, Mr. Barlow loudly stated, “Elijah's position on the board of directors is revoked!”Feeling speechless, Chloe watched her grandfather stormed out of the room. Then she frowned and mumbled, “This can't be happening."It took Elijah a moment to suppress his urge to scream out his anger, and after getting a bit of grip on his rage, he stood to his feet.When Dana saw that he husband had stood up, she quickly woke up from the floor and frowned as she realized that sh
Book three title: The son of a billionaire in Disguise.Ongoing now, exclusively on goodnovel.PreviewThe moment Catherine entered the kitchen and saw Parblo with the other servant, she forgot that she was hungry and rushed out of the room, hurrying for Rome's study.As she approached the stairs, Logan was coming down, and the two locked eyes. She could see the worry in his gaze, and Catherine blurted out, "Is he here?""Yes, ma'am. But I don't think you should go in there just yet." Logan hesitated. "He's planning on staying at the Rossi, and knows the relationship between Master and him-""Rome is going to be infuriated." "Yes. I think it's best you let them talk it out as father and son and try to give them some space for now," Logan suggested, his tone carrying a mix of concern and caution.Catherine nodded, her own worry deepening. "I understand. But if things get out of hand..."Logan took a step back, giving Catherine space, stepping aside, and she gave him a faint smile befor
By Monday, "Living as a billionaire" will get marked as "completed." But I have scanned through all of the comments and reviews. I remember telling my sister that "Living as a billionaire," will be the end of Rome and Catherine's story. But you guys have given me a change of mind, and right now, I can't tell you all that there is a solid idea for book three because my brain is focused on another novel I'm writing which is not in the same genre as, "Living as a billionaire." I write a bunch of random, messy up ideas, so my stories usually fall into different categories and audiences. Back to what I was saying, Mmmh, so yeah, that novel has my attention right now. But if Book three is something any of you will want to read, then please keep "Living as a billionaire" bookmark, and I will be back with a new announcement concerning Book three name and release date. Hopefully, it will be soon, but my hands are filled right now, and I don't w
*I don't even know where to start! Umm… My brain feels like a marshmallow. I slept for hours after updating the remaining chapters. But I am just so freaking happy for all the comments and the review I woke up to. *Book two wasn't a stable plan, and I had barely a paragraph for the entire book plot which was scary from the very beginning. So, seeing how far this book came and hearing you guys say that you like it, makes me speechless in a good way. *I am this crazy overthinking person, and if it was left with me, I would have assumed "Living as a billionaire" as the worst and given up on it. But you guys, you all made this book happen with the constant comments, gems, reviews, and purchases of the chapters. *Usually,
Pushing her hair behind her ear, Catherine smiled broadly. Then she looked to stare upward into Rome's eyes when he hugged her from the back."Look who's tummy is getting bigger," Rome whispered as his manly hands gently rested on her stomach."I can't believe he's already spent twelve-week in my stomach," Catherine whispered, gazing at her reflection in the mirror."He? Our baby is a she. Daddy little princess." Rome softly uttered.At first, Catherine pouted a bit. Then she chuckled and mumbled, "Should we do one of those fancy babies' gender reveal parties because at this point everyone seems to have their opinions about our baby's gender."As Rome
The moment the sunlight hit his face, Rome's hand searched his bed for his phone as he slowly raised his eyelids, and then blinked his eyelashes to adjust his vision to the bright light glowing in their room.Once he got a hold of his phone, he sat up in bed and unlocked it, then a frown settled on his lip as he stared at the fifteen missed calls notifications on his screen."Why is this Mathew guy calling back to back so early!" Rome mumbled.Sighing heavily, he called back, patiently waited, and after a few seconds, he said, “Good Morning, Mathew."“Good morning, Mr. Ford. I'm calling to find out if you are ready to cooperate with us today, or should we do this with force?"
After bringing his car to a stop in front of the St Louis Cardinals hospital, Rome pushed the door open and raced into the building.When he got to the waiting room, Amara was pacing back and forth with a look of fear in her eyes and plaster on her arm.The moment she saw Rome, she rushed to him and cried out, "My blood is not compatible with his. You have to help him out, please!!!""How are Axel and I related?!" Rome lashed out, unable to contain his anger and eagerness for the truth."He's your first cousin, Rome! Your uncle's first son! Mr. Ford's oldest brother's child! And also, my father's firstborn.""You are lying!"
The atmosphere quickly became hostile, and no one dared to move or utter a word as K clutched onto his side while choking on his blood."What the hell have you done!" Rome screamed, finally getting over his shock and realizing that his bodyguard had just taken a bullet to the stomach for him.Ignoring his remark, Axel fixed his cold gaze directly on Rome's angry expression. Then he frowned at Rome with the gun pointed directly at him and calmly said, "It's time to be your father's payment for redemption."Abruptly, the sudden sound of a silver vehicle speeding into the parking lot drew everyone's attention, and before Axel could get out of the way, the car bumped into him, sending him a few feet forward before he fell over to the floor.
A loud knock echoed into Axel's room, forcing him to leave his bed and walked over to the door. When he opened it, Axel scowled at his man and gazed the other way before walking back inside. “Boss, there's a problem,” Hunan said as he followed his boss further into the room. “What's the problem?” Axel mumbled, taking in a deep breath to ignore the anger he felt. When Hunan's gaze met his cold eyes, the room fell silent, and the atmosphere became awkward. Then he coughed slightly, stared away from Axel, and said, "I just got word that Richard went over to the safe house this morning." "What! How could they let him inside!... Who let him inside!" Axel roughly said, squeezing his fist. "I don't know, boss. He came demanding to talk face to face with you and refused to leave." Hunan mumbled, keeping his gaze glued to the f
I am working on the last chapters. The next time I updated, it will be the complete chapters to end the story. I will be releasing it tomorrow. I am doing editing and some finishing touches. I can not believe this is happening, but yeah, "Living as a billionaire" ends tomorrow. There are still a few more plots to cover, so I might release the chapters lately tomorrow. But there is no excuse or another date. We are closing this book tomorrow, and I'm so freaking grateful to everyone who has been on this journey with me from book one. Anyways, catch you all tomorrow for the finale! Sincerely, Author Rever.
