Six hours before the party, when Chloe stepped out of the airport and the afternoon sun hit against her face, she drew her cap downward and lowered her head.
Even though the dark glasses on her face felt a bit uncomfortable, she refused to take it off as she stared around looking for a cab.
Then she suddenly saw a built guy with his hair wrapped in a bun waving at her.
'Wow, he would be a total catch if he was loaded and not a cab driver.' Chloe thought as she approached him.
After she reached him, he smiled and said, "Good day, miss. Where are you heading?"
"Can you take me to Stargate resort?" Chloe asked, gazing at the yellow taxi behind him.
Then she narrowed her eyes as she thought, 'Right now, I need to lay low until all this can die down. Who knows what Rome will do to me if I show my face now.'
After the cab driver had opened the door for her, Chloe got in the backseat. Then he gently shut door closed.
Staring a
Everyone keeps asking me, "Why one chapter a day?" My answer is simple, Accounting 410, 404, 402, and 406. Imagine studying for those four subjects and then trying to come up with more than one chapter a day, it's exhausting and draining on my brain. I have exams, and once I get done with them, all I want to do is curl up in bed and sleep away the headache. Good news: my university closes this week, so starting from next week, I'm drowning myself in this novel, and well, my other novels.
At eight on the dot, the grand hall of the Elite Eight Hotel seemed already crowded with guests. Not a single person who got an invite didn't show up. Everyone pretended to be into the wine, food, and entertainment, but what they all actually wanted to know was why Mr. Ford was celebrating when his son was in a crucial situation. The news about Rome and Chloe was no secret to any of them. But not a single guest was willing to make small talk about it since their fear of Mr. Ford was still strong. However, when the door opened, and Rome walked in with Catherine by his side, some of the guests couldn't help frowning at him. "Why are we here!" Dash harshly uttered, hardening his face.
The hall suddenly became noisy with whispers and mumbles because the guests were too stupefied and aggrieved to hold back their words anymore.Raw anger shot through Rome as he glared at Chloe. Then he was about to speak when his face suddenly went blank as he watched Mr. Ford lift his hand and smack his palm against Chloe's cheek.Instantly, the entire hall became still and voiceless as everyone's eyes widened in shock, except Mr. Ford.Tears rolled from the corners of Chloe's eyes as she dumbfoundedly gazed at Mr. Ford with a touch of pain in her expression."Dad," Rome softly called out."Stay out of this!" Mr. Ford harshly uttered, glaring back at his son.Then he grimaced at Chloe and firmly asked, "What happened between my son and you in Archenland?""Rome and I had sex." Chloe boldly stated, sniffing softly.Without any hesitation, Mr. Ford scowled and landed his second slap against the same cheek, causing Chloe to
Staring at Chloe with a look of disappointment on her face, Catherine remained silent, finally deciding that her cousin wasn't worth arguing with and that she needed to leave. Then without uttering a word, Catherine tried to walk past Chloe. But she suddenly grabbed her wrist and said, "Where the hell do you think you are going?" "Trying to get as far away as I can from someone as bitter as you because you have a toxic energy, and I would rather not have you in my space!" Catherine firmly uttered as she jerked her hand out of Chloe's grip. Swaying her gaze away from her cousin for a second, Chloe sneered and then coldly mumbled, "Well, look at that. Haha, this bitch really thinks she's better than me." "You know what, Chloe! Maybe I am! Because, the bunch of nonsense that you have done to me, I would have never, ever done that to you in this lifetime or the next!" Catherine said in annoyance. "Also, it doesn't take a lot to act like a decent human bei
As Catherine reached for her toothbrush, she suddenly heard the bathroom door open, and she softly smiled at her reflection in the mirror."Morning gorgeous," Rome seductively said as he stared at her adorably from the bathroom entrance.Giggling faintly, Catherine looked back at him, rolled her eyes, and then mumbled, "Gorgeous? I look like a mess.""But, a very stunning hot mess." Rome teased, winking at her.Even though Catherine tried to look mad, she couldn't help laughing hard. Then she slightly shook her head and looked back at the mirror.Walking away from the door, Rome's approached Catherine, held her from the back as both his hands rested on her stomach, and whispered, "What's your plan for today?""Aahh, work. I have a bunch of meetings to attend." Catherine mumbled before brushing her teeth.With warmth in his gaze, Rome gently rested his chin on her shoulder, staring at her reflection in the mirror, and then said,
For a moment, Mr. Ford studied the look of excitement on Rome's face. Then he sighed and asked, "K, how was your investigation at the store Rome's purchase his clothes? You never reported back to me." "I didn't report back because what I got wasn't useful. Boss was the only one to buy that hoodie, cap, and mask. Other than him, no one else made the same purchase with the exact order. I'm sorry." K explained with his gaze focused on the tiles. Without replying, Mr. Ford looked at Scar and asked, "Have you found out how news about my son was getting linked out to the media?" "Sorry to say, but no, big boss. I'm still digging into it." Scar humbly uttered without meeting Mr. Ford's gaze. Swaying his eyes off Scar, Mr. Ford looked to his left and said, "How about you, Brook? What's new information have you discovered from the hospital CCTV cameras?" "Nothing. It's like he vanished after walking out of the hospital." Brook
The office was awfully quiet as Rome looked at Mr. Jackson. Then his eyes became cold and his mood shifted from calm to dominant as he asked, "Is there something you are not telling me?""Of course not! I was just wondering why you are so invested in the person that has been texting me" Mr. Jackson asked in confusion.Maintaining eye contact with him, Rome rested back in his seat and said, “I say this most respectfully, 'It's none of your business. So are you going to give me the phone or not?""I see, Mr. Ford doesn't trust me that's why you wouldn't be clear with me."Staring intensely at Mr. Jackson, Rome stayed composed and silent, knowing fully well that truth was something he couldn't afford to give a stranger, especially with his current situation.“I know your phone is also your privacy and I have no business accessing it. So, can you write the number on a sheet instead?" Rome calmly uttered, finally realizing
The street grew noisy with mumbling and cries of various people that had watched the accident. "Should we call the police?" A guy asked his friend. "Shouldn't we be calling the ambulance instead!" His friend lashed out at him. The noise seem to get louder as more people arrived on the scene. "Oh my! Has someone called the ambulance and a tow truck! Is anyone here a doctor!” A lady screamed. “I called the ambulance, and they are on their way.” An elderly lady shouted, clutching her blouse as she stared at the car. " I'm on the phone with a tow truck driver!" A fellow calmly uttered.
“Knock, knock…” K called out as he stood at the room door with Mr. Orlando by his side. For a moment, Rome blankly gazed at the wall. Then he slowly turned his head and stared at the two of them. After shutting the door behind him, Mr. Orlando followed K further into the room and then they both pulled a chair closer to the bed and sat down. “How are you doing now?” K asked, still feeling concerned because, among the three of them, Rome was the one who took the hit. “I'm fine. It's nothing that a few painkillers can not fix. How about you two?" Rome calmly uttered. "We are okay. The doctor cleared us."
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.
