2024-10-29 19:42:56Keeping silent, Catherine slightly clenched her fist as she stared at her uncles.
Then she gazed at her grandfather and asked, "What is the point of this dinner?"
"We think your uncles had gotten enough punishment these past months, and it's embarrassing that we have strangers working at the company, but not family." Mr. Barlow calmly uttered.
Without looking at Catherine, Madam Barlow sadly sighed and said, "People talk, and your uncles staying away from the company will look bad for our family reputation. I'm sure they have repented for their sins."
Pressing her lips together, Catherine frowned as she stared at her uncles and then gazed at her grandfather, realizing that they didn't want her consent but were afraid to enforce their will on her because of Rome.
"Do you want to know what my answer is?" Catherine coldly asked.
"Of course, and whatever it is, we will respect it," Elijah said with a half-smile.
"Really?"&nbs

It was quiet in the office as Rome pulled all his focus into the document before him, making sure he wasn't missing anything before proceeding to sign it.After Rome got to the final page, a buzzing noise took his attention off the sheet, and he looked at his phone, dropped his pen, and reached for it.The moment he answered the call, Catherine's soft voice echoed into his ear, "Hey, hon, your dad called. He said that he scheduled an appointment for this evening for our clothes fitting for the party, and...""He wants us to go." Rome interrupted, sighing as he rubbed his eyes."Is there a problem? Will you be busy?""No. I will make sure to finish up here early and then pick you up later."The sound of the office door suddenly opening drew Rome's gaze towards the doorway, and he stared at Braden, walking inside."I got to go. But how does picking you up by five sounds?" Rome uttered, not taking his focus off his secretary.

During their entire conversation, this was the first time Rome noticed an honest expression from Amara, and he was now curious about what the look of anger in her eyes meant. "Is there a problem?" Rome asked, trying to push their conversation further so he can get an idea of who he was dealing with before anything else. "No. It's just frustrating that you are being so technical with me. It makes me feel like you are suspicious of me or something." Amara said, giving a weak smile. There was a brief pause as Rome stared intensely at her, wondering if she just had an innocent face or she was simply good at hiding her actual emotions. Then he tapped the desk and said, "Don't worry. I'm skeptical of everyone, except those that I already trust." "Well, if that's the case, then I hope I can be someone that you can trust someday, hopefully soon." Amara calmly intoned. Looking directly into Rome's eyes, she then softly smiled with her eye

At five on the dot, Mr. Orlando brought the car to a stop in DreamTeam parking lot, and then he gazed at Rome in the V-mirror. But he was too focused on his phone to notice his stare. "Hey, hon. I'm so sorry. But I'm stuck in a meeting right now. Can you please wait in my office for a couple of minutes?" Rome silently read Catherine's text. Then he messaged her back, "Sure." Afterward, Rome gazed at K and said, "You don't need to come with me." Knowing that that was a command, K remained seated as Rome left the car and then gazed through the window as he walked into the building. A couple of seconds later, Rome entered Catherine's office, and immediately, his eyes grew cold as he screwed his face into a frown. "What are you doing here!?" Rome firmly asked while he stared at Charles, gazing at him with a smug smile on his face. "My dear cousin-in-law, how lovely it is to see you!" Charles said without losing his smile. "

At six o'clock on Saturday, Catherine was lying in bed when she heard the bedroom doorknob turn and, immediately, she looked to her right, and her gaze rested on Rome, stepping into the room. "You are finally back," Catherine mumbled as she sat up. After taking out his shirt and dropping it to the floor, he gazed at her and said, "I know that we are going to be slightly late, and I'm sorry that I stayed so long at the company. I lost track of time, an..." "Honey," Catherine softly called out. "Uhm!" "Maybe we should get ready and pick up this conversation later." "Right. I need to shower." Biting on her nail, Catherine watched as Rome headed into the bathroom. Then she got out of bed, walked into their enormous closet, and stopped at a white garment bag. After unzipping it and taking out her dress, Catherine paused for a moment, admiring how absolutely breathtaking the gown looked. Earlier that day,

There was an awkward silence in the atmosphere as all the guests focused solely on Catherine and Chloe, shocked by the sudden turn of events.The same dress that Catherine wore, down to every last bit of details of designs, was what Chloe had on, and Catherine found herself speechless as she stared at her cousin.'You must be kidding me!' Catherine thought, trying to process her feelings.Then she stared at Mr. Ford, and when she saw how mad he looked, she gently said, "I don't want tonight to get ruined because of my cousin, so how about we ignore this and move on with the night, please."Although Mr. Ford didn't respond, he decided to respect Catherine's decision and take a step back for the time being.The quietness in the hall lasted for a couple of minutes.

As Asher and Mr. Ford watched from a distance, he looked at Mr. Ford and said, "Are you going to do something?" "No. It's not my place to meddle." Mr. Ford mumbled, tightening his grip around his wine glass. Staring at her two granddaughters, Madam Rosey frowned and said, "We can't allow this to continue, or else our family reputation will get ruinedmore." "I know," Mr. Barlow uttered, scowling at his granddaughters. Then he deeply sighed before marching over to Chloe with Madam Barlow by his side. When Mr. Barlow got closer to her, he stopped, glared at Catherine before focusing on Chloe and saying, "What's going on and why are you making such a big fuss over nothing?" A look of hate blended with anger settled in Chloe's eyes as she scowled at her grandfather and harshly said, "I'm making a big fuss over nothing?! You call Catherine spilling drinks on me twice, 'Nothing!" Then she stared at Catherine and said, "I know th

Realizing how badly she had messed up, Chloe felt anxious and a bit angry. However, she knew that she couldn't leave the party like that, not after the names she called Catherine in front of all those people. 'I can fix this! It's not too late yet.' Chloe thought, staring down at the floor. Feeling a bit shocked and yet, please, Rome leaned towards Catherine and whispered, "Remind me not to mess with you ever." As she tried not to laugh and keep a straight face, Catherine gave him a side-glance, slightly smiled, and mumbled, "Who's at fault for my behavior change?" Turning his head to face Catherine, Rome smirked and mumbled beneath his breath, "Guilty as charged." "Cousin, I'm sorry for what I said just now. I was so angry that you slapped me twice that I lost control of my sanity for a second and said those nonsense words." Chloe abruptly said with a look of nervousness in her eyes. "It's okay.

Catherine thought, gazing at Rome.Then when he reached Amara, she slightly pouted as she wondered, 'Who's that?"Gazing directly into her eyes, Rome frowned at Amara and coldly asked, "Who are you really?!""I see. You made someone do a background check on me," Amara said, trying to stay calm. "And what did you find out for you to ask me such a question?""Nothing. There's absolutely no information about you in any database or on the web. It's like you appeared out of thin air.""Hmm, if that's the case, then you did the right investigation." With a look of hesitation in Amara's expression, she raised her chin as she maintained eye contact with Rome and thought, 'I wonder what your reaction would be if I just come clean here and tell you the truth. Would you be accepting of me or do exactly

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
