On their way back from the white house, Rome was seated in the backseat of Mr. Ford's car since he suggested that they ride together.

It was quiet for a while. Then Mr. Ford turned to Rome and said, “I got a bottle of Romanee Conti 1945 that I plan to drink today. Do you want to have a glass with me?”

Then he walked into the living room and realized that all the family members were there, except Chloe.“What do you take my house to be! Do you think it's a place where you can walk in and out with your filthy shoes at any time!” Madam Rosey lashed out.“I am sorry to be home late. I had to work overtime with my boss.” Rome mumbled, lowering his head.Although it was a white lie, it wasn't entirely false since he worked with his father, so it was only reasonable to call him his boss.“You smell like booze.

A few minutes later, the office door opened, and a bunch of middle-aged-looking fellows entered the room. At first, they looked angry, but when their gazes rested on Rome, a look of fear crossed their faces. At that moment, Rome took Catherine's hand in his as he fixed his eyes on them.

I should get her more engaged in the company.’Finally, after being silent for a while, Jeff turned to his Mr. Barlow and said, “Grandfather, please give me a third chance.

    After ending the call with his father, Rome walked over to Catherine. Then he leaned towards her ear, and whispered, “I got to leave. Will you be okay here?” Smiling faintly, she looked him in his eyes and slightly nodded her head. After staring at her for a moment, Rome stood up straight and left the dining room. A few minutes later, he reached the spot where he and Mr. Orlando usually meets up. A green Bugatti was parked on the side of the road, and he walked over to it, opened the passenger door, and got in. “Good morning, young master.” Mr. Orlando said as he gazed at him. “Morning,” Rome mumbled, putting on his seat belt.

    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.

    *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

Rome mumbled.Sighing heavily, he called back, patiently waited, and after a few seconds, he said, “Good Morning, Mathew."“Good morning, Mr. Ford.

    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!

    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
