The first thought that crossed Rome's mind was that if he was speaking with the puppets' master. But he kept silent about his curiosity and asked, "Is there a reason you want us to know each other?" 

"Yes." The fellow said from the other side of the call. "Is it possible for us to meet and talk, let say this evening, by eight o'clock?"

Although there were so many questions roaming in Rome's head that he desperately wanted an answer to, he remained calm and said, "Sure. You know where I stay, right?"

The line suddenly became quiet for a moment, and Rome grew impatient by every second that went by in silence. Then he finally heard, "Yes. You stay at 'Hotel Plaza.' Is that where you want us to meet?"

"Yes. At the hotel restaurant." Rome said, striving to stop himself from asking the one question that he so desperately one to ask.

"Okay. I will meet you there then. Tonight at eight o'clock." 

"I will be waiting."

    Biting on her bottom lip, Chloe took a long look at Rome, and then she smirked and said, "There's no need to be shy. It's just the two of us here." When Rome didn't speak or look her way, Chloe got annoyed, but she suppressed her feelings as a lopsided grin surfaced on her lips, and softly intoned, "I want you, Rome!" There were so many thoughts running through Rome's head, and even though a lot of things didn't make sense, he knew one thing for sure that he needed to get out of there. "Can you at least look at me when I am talking to you?" Chloe softly cried, sniffing gently. "Hell no!" Rome mumbled, furrowing his brows. Then without thinking for a second, he turned around and started heading for the door. As he was about to reach the handle, he felt a tender hand grab his wrist and hold onto it tightly. "I know that in the past, I picked on you a lot and said all kinds of mean stuff to you, but I did it because I liked

    When Rome got home, he was about to head upstairs when he saw Scar approaching him from the opposite direction. With a look of confusion in his eyes, he faintly smiled and mumbled, "Boss, you are home," "Yeah," Rome muttered, looking over Scar's shoulder. "Did something happen to Catherine?" "No. Miss is upstairs, in your bedroom." "Then why isn't sh…" Holding in the rest of his statement, Rome walked past Scar and hurried upstairs, heading straight for their bedroom. When he got inside, an his gaze rested on Catherine, laying on the bed, he let out a sigh of relief as he gently closed the door. Then he walked over to the bed, sat beside her, and gazed at her face. At first, he didn't notice it. But after taking a closer look at Catherine's eyes, he saw that her lashes were fluttering. "Are you asleep?" Rome mumbled without taking his eyes off hers. Gently squeezing her eyelids, Catherine pin

    The dining table was quiet as Catherine and Rome had their breakfast. But she was all smiles as she bit into her toast. "What is it?" Rome asked, looking adoringly at her. "Nothing. I'm just happy." Catherine mumbled without losing her smile. Slightly shaking his head, Rome gave a brief chuckle before focusing on his bowl of strawberries. It got quiet again, but two minutes later, Daniel, the head of the house security, walked into the dining room, disturbing the quietness as he said, "Ma'am, your cousin's husband is here." "Dash?" Catherine asked, frowning faintly. "Why is he at our home this early?!" "Allow him inside, and take him to the living room." Rome calmly uttered. Nodding slightly, Daniel looked at him and said, "Yes, boss." Then he turned around and walked out of the dining room. "Did Chloe not contact Dash already to tell him where she is?!" Catherine said in annoyance. "Hey, it's fine. Fini

    The loud sound of the salad bowl crushing against the wall caused the servants to freeze for a moment as they tried not to look at their boss."That boy is too soft on those Barlows! That's why they are out here acting like a bunch of fools!" Mr. Ford shouted in a fit of rage.Swaying his gaze away from the broken pieces of bowl, he gazed down at the paused video displayed on his screen and then picked his phone off the dining room table.After scrolling through his contact for a while, he stopped at Brook's number before dialing it.It took less than two seconds for Brook to answer the call.Then looking at Blaze with a look of nervousness on his face, he humbly said, "Hello, big boss.""Where are you!"

    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

    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

  • 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.

    *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
