Last Updated:
2024-10-29 19:42:56After Rome parked Catherine’s car into the Barlow mansion garage and the two of them got down from the vehicle, the other family members' cars started entering the yard.
“We should head inside,” Catherine whispered.
“Okay,” Rome said.
Both of them went into the house and took a seat on the living room’s couch as they waited for the others.
It took a few minutes, then the sounds of footsteps and mumbling from the hallway echoed into the living room.
Subconsciously, Catherine rested her palm on the back of Rome’s hand. But he turned his hand around, allowing their palms to touch as he laced his fingers with hers.
The first person to enter the living room was Catherine’s mother, and when her gaze rested on her daughter, she moved her lips to speak but stopped when Edward came into the room.

The breeze was so strong that Catherine couldn't hear the sound of her phone ringing in thecar. At this point, Mr. Barlow’s coat felt hot on him, and when he got another answer from Catherine's voicemail, he became even more frustrated andanxious. “What is the matter? It's been fifteen minutes, and Catherine is still not here.” Mr. Ford said, frowning athim. The first thought that crossed Mr. Barlow's mind was to slander Catherine and Rome's name so the family can not take the fall if Mr. Ford getsmad.

Catherine, you look pale. What's going on?”Sighing heavily, she turned to Rome and said, “I'm over the moon about this project. It's like a dream come true for me. I'm…”“You are just what?” Rome asked, gazing at her.“I'm afraid, Rome. Even though I'm so excited about this project, I can't help panicking that I'm going to be my cousins’ target again.”“Catherine, if this project is what you want, then let your desire to succeed be greater than all of y

A few days had passed after Catherine signed the contract with Mr. Ford, and early that Wednesday morning, she and Rome came downstairs for breakfast. When they entered the dining hall, Catherine froze as she stared at Jeff, glaring at her. Since the other family members had not arrived in the dining room, it was just Catherine, Rome, and him. “You are out?” Catherine mumbled, feeling her heartbeat increasing. The way Jeff kept staring at her made Catherine feel a chill run down her spine. “Yeah, My dad finally billed me out with grandfather's permission!” Jeff angrily intoned. Unknown to herself, Catherine grabbed onto Rome's hand and squeezed it. “Are you okay, wife?” Rome mumbled, staring at her. Then he followed her gaze and his sight rested on Jeff’s icy expression. “You should sit down,” Rome whispered. His words snapped Catherine out of her head. Then she walked to the table and got seated. But Ro

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?”“Of course,” Rome said, knowing that he didn't have an option to say, “no” because his father would guilt him into saying, “yes.”When they arrived at Mr. Ford's office, Rome wore a disguise before getting down from the car.Then he and Mr. Ford head into the building, and once they got into the lobby, the whispering began.It was not his first time entering his father's office.

It was almost eleven o'clock when Rome got to the Barlow mansion. When he entered the hallway, he assumed that everyone would be sleeping.But as he walked past the living room, he heard madam Rosey shouted, “Where do you think you are going?”For a moment, Rome stood still as he tried to pull himself together. 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 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,

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
