Seeing the look of shock on Mr. Ford and Rome's faces, Catherine burst into laughter, unable to stop herself even though she was trying to do so.
Finally, when she calmed down, she looked at Mr. Ford, smiled, and said, "I am just kidding."
Both men finally stopped holding in their breath and nervously giggled.
But then she suddenly lost her smile and hardened her face as she asked, "It's just a meeting and nothing dangerous, right?"
"Yes," Mr. Ford calmly uttered, lowering his gaze as Catherine intensely stared at him with a hint of suspicion in her gaze.
A couple of minutes later, as he and Rome sat in the backseat of his vehicle, Mr. Ford looked at him an
The dining room was quiet, and the silence annoyed Catherine, but she tried not to frown at the food in front of her.Then she suddenly got startled out of her thoughts when she heard footsteps in the room.After Catherine raised her gaze, she stared at one of their maids, gazing down at her."What is it, Mini?" Catherine calmly asked."Should I set up extra plates for sir?""No. He's at a business meeting, and I don't think he will be coming home soon.""Oh,"After a couple of minutes passed and Mini had not left, Catherine slightly frowned at her and asked, "Do you have anything else you want to say?""No, ma'am!" Mini hastily intoned.Then she hurried out of the room, leaving Catherine alone once more.Not even giving it a second thought, Joe dropped the knife and stepped away from Rome, keeping his h
As the first light of a new day crept into the room, Catherine slowly raised her eyelids and then frowned as she noticed that Rome's side of the bed was empty.When Catherine heard the sound of rushing water, she got up from the bed and headed into the bathroom.The moment Rome heard the door open, he pulled his shirt-sleeve over the plaster on his arm, turned around, and stared back at her as his face softened into a smile."Good morning, babe," Rome said, noticing the way she was suspiciously staring at him."Did something happen at the meeting?" Catherine asked, hoping for the truth this time."No. It went well.""Oh, okay."Without uttering another word to Rome, Catherine walked out of the bathroom, ignoring him when he called out, "Are you okay, babe!?""What's wrong with her?" Rome mumbled when Catherine slammed the door shut. "Did I forget so
Twirling her chair left to right, Catherine stared at Charles' prideful expression and then screwed her face into a frown“Look, Charles, I don't have the energy and time for whatever nonsense this is, so please leave my office!” Catherine finally said, giving him a cold stare as she sat up straight.A frown settled on Charles' face as he took a long look at her.Then he sighed and said, “Let me rephrase my sentence. 'I legally bought shares from some of the shareholders of DreamTeam, and now, I'm the vice-chair since I'm the second highest shareholder in the company."“Do you have a high fever or something?” Catherine firmly uttered. "There's no way you have the financial b
The office was awfully silent for quite a while as Rome continued gazing into Amara's calm eyes. Then his ringtone suddenly drew his attention away from her. Seeing that it was Catherine calling, he picked up his phone, and then looked back at Amara. A soft smile crept on her lips, and she dragged her hair behind her ear as she said, "An unknown number? Umm, of course not. Why do you ask, Mr. Ford?" "Nothing," Rome said, giving her a quick smile. Then he focused on his phone and thought, 'You have already told me what I needed to know.' Without uttering a word, Amara intensely gazed at Rome. Then she turned away and walked out of the office with a
Anger spiked in Rome's eyes as he gazed at Big Daddy cutting his steak and then ate the meat off the blade.Then he focused solely on the knife in his hand for a second before looking back at Big Daddy and saying, "How about option three, get your ass off that chair, obediently follow me out of here, and register yourself at a police station."Fixing his gaze on Rome's cold eyes, Big Daddy mockingly asked, “What if I refused, what are you going to do about it? Allow that poor little girl to get a bullet to her head along with her mother and grandmother?"“No. I'm going to make you regret being an idiot for refusing such a great deal,” Rome coldly said, looking at the blade in his hand.&ldquo
A look of hesitation crossed Catherine's face, and then she mumbled, "I don't know. I was too mad at you for lying to me that it didn't cross my mind to check who the sender was." Without replying to her, Rome walked over to the couch, took out his phone from his coat pocket, and then scrolled through it for a moment. Then his eyes darkened, and he looked at Catherine's phone for a moment before focusing back on his screen. "What is it?" Catherine asked, noticing how serious his face had become. "It was the puppets' master," Rome said, feeling a sense of anger rising in him. "He's not only after me! He's watching you too!" Frowning, Catherine woke
The moment Rome arrived at the staircase, he was met with K, staring at him with a smile on his lip."What excites you this morning?" Rome asked as he jammed his hands in his front pockets."Scar should be the one to tell you! He said he wanted to call, but he didn't want to disturb ma'am and you this early." K gaily uttered. "So he's awaiting you at the casino.""Ok-kay,""I promise you it's good news."With her hand slowly tracing down the stair handrail, Catherine softly smiled at K when their eyes met and asked, "What is the good news?"As she stopped by him, Rome grabbed her by her waist, pull
The moment the conference door opened Elijah, Richard, and William turned their heads to the left, smiling at Catherine as she walked into the office. "Haha, there's my dear niece!" William gaily said as he clapped his hand. Keeping a straight face, Catherine walked up to the table and took her seat at the head of it. Immediately, a frown crossed Charles's face because he realized that his cousin was still above him after all. "Good morning, Uncle William, Elijah, and Richard." Catherine calmly uttered, resting her hands on the desk. Then she clutched her fingers together, looked at Charles, and said, "Good morning, cousin."
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.
