Chapter Eighty-Seven
Last Updated:
2024-10-29 19:42:56The 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
ReverThis chapter took place in two separate locations, and I was going back and forth between them because I wanted to show that everyone in the dining room was hearing what Elijah was saying on the other side. So the phone call is the link between these two places. I hope it wasn't confusing to read.

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…”

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.

But getting those accounts would help to stabilize DreamTeam, and I wouldn't mind working hard to get them.” Catherine said, smiling faintly.Staring directly into her calm eyes, Rome rested his palms on both her cheeks and thought, ‘I'm sorry.

Although Rome wanted so desperately to ignore it, when Catherine tossed on the bed for the sixth time, he turned to face her.Then he stared at her blinking lashes, chuckled, and mumbled, “This is the Seventh-day you’ve been doing this in the morning. What's going on?”It took a while. Then Catherine raised her eyelid, rolled on her side, gazing into his eyes, and said, “I get stressed knowing that I have woken up to another day and I haven't told grandfather that I have quit on getting the clients.”“Then tell him if it's bugging you this much. We are in a new week, and you are carrying the same energy from last week. It's not healthy.”“I know. But I don't want to get into an argument with my grandfather. Telling him that I quit will lead to that.”Pausing for a moment, Catherine took a deep breath.Then she got out of bed and said, “I'm just going to wait until one of my un

A Billionaire In Disguise Announcement concerning Book Three
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
A Billionaire In Disguise Author's "Thank you" note
*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,

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
