It took a while for everyone to get over their shock, and when Mr. Barlow did, he immediately stood to his feet and said, “I'm sorry. Those words were said out of ignorance.”

Without mentioning a word to him, Mr. Ford looked at Catherine and calmly intoned, “I called your office, and you weren't there. Since what I have to say is important, I decided to stop by. I hope it's not a problem.”

Waking from her shock, Catherine slightly shook her head and uttered, “Of course not.”

When Mrs. Barlow snapped back to reality, she stared at the maid and said, “What are you standing around here for! Tell everyone in the kitchen that we have an extremely important guest and they should prepare a few more dishes.”

Afterward, she looked at Mr. Ford and gently intoned, “I hope you can grace this family by having dinner with us.”

Swaying his focus off Madam Rosey, Mr. Ford stared at Rome, and even though he shook his head to signal his father not to stay, Mr.

    The days went by naturally, and on Saturday, Rome left the Barlow mansion early that morning even before Catherine could wake up.By seven-fifteen, Mr. Orlando drove the vehicle into the yard, and when he turned off the engine, Rome got out and headed inside.It took him a while, but he finally arrived in the living room. Then he walked over to the couch, sat down, and said, “Good morning, Father.”“You are early.” Mr. Ford mumbled, closing his newspaper.Staring at his watch, Rome sighed and said, “I know. But if I had waited for the actual meet-up time, I would have to lie to Catherine. So I left a note instead.”There was a brief moment of silence. Then Mr. Ford rested his newspaper on the couch as he stood up and said “Well since you are here. How about breakfast?”“Sure,” Rome mumbled, standing to his feet.When the daylight had faded a bit at five o'clock, R

    Early Monday morning, the Barlow mansion was peaceful, and Mr. Barlow was seated in the living room waiting for the maids to get done with breakfast.A few seconds when by in silence. Then Mr. Barlow's phone began to buzzed and he picked it off the couch.Realizing that it was one of Charles’ clients, Mr. Barlow answered the call.Before he could have the chance to speak, an angry male voice echoed into his ear, “I want to cancel my contract with your grandson!”“Wait, What! Why?” Mr. Barlow asked, sitting up straight.“Your grandson has no moral!”“What are you talking about?”“Haven't you seen the news! Anyways, I want my contract terminated!”Without replying, Mr. Barlow ended the call.

    Staring coldly at everyone’s faces in the living room, Mr. Stony clutched his fist and harshly inquired, “Who is Charles Barlow?”“Is there a problem?” Charles asked as he glared at Mr. Stony.“Are you him?”“Yes,”In shock, the rest of the family watched as Mr. Stony charged at Charles, grabbed him by the neck, and body-slammed him to the floor.“What is wrong with you?” William shouted as he watched Mr. Stony’s fist slammed into his son’s left cheek.Then he tried to rush over to them, but Mr. Stony's bodyguards shot him a warning look, causing William to stop in his tracks.With tears in her eyes, William’s wife clutched onto his arm and cried, “Honey, do something.”But he was too much of a coward to do anything, and his feet felt frozen to the floor as he watched as his son got beat up.“You are the punk that my wif

    There was a moment of hesitation as Rome gazed at Catherine.Then he second-guessed his words for a brief while before saying, “Jeff burned down your family warehouse, Charles got involved with someone's wife, Elijah betray your grandfather, and Chloe, well she messed with Mr. Ford. What have you done?”“Uh?” Catherine asked, raising a brow.“What wrong have you done?”“Well…”Feeling a bit uncertain, Catherine mumbled, “Ummm… Nothing?”“Right, nothing. So why do you want things to fall apart for you?” Rome asked with a straight face.With her eyes fixed on his, Catherine slowly rubbed her thumb against her other finger as she mumbled beneath her breath, “I don't know. I thought maybe…”“The quote, ‘Bad things happen to good people is not right because it shouldn't be that way, and you shouldn't be th

    The office door opened, and all of Elijah’s clients walked into the room. Then they took a seat on the leather couches and focused on Mr. Barlow.“Excuse me,” Ella said before walking out of the room and shutting the door closed.For a few seconds, it was silent. Then Mr. Barlow cleared his throat and gently asked, “Why are you all here?”“It's no secret that DBA INC. is failing immensely.” Mr. Davis carefully said, striving to remember Rome's every word correctly.“So I heard.”“That is why we are here to tell you that we want to keep our projects with DreamTeam, and since Elijah is not a part of this company, we will like to sign under William.”Although Mr. Barlow kept a straight face, he was extremely excited inside, knowing that this was something that could help DreamTeam.Without any second thought, he looked at Davis and said, “If that's the case, then I w

    Knowing that his brother was about to ruin them all, Anthony stood to his feet and said, "Elijah, how about we do this at home?" "Home, Nah. We are going to do this here so that everyone can know the kind of hypocrites and betrayals I have as brothers!" Elijah coldly said before sneering. A slight smirk surfaced on Rome's face, but his expression quickly became straight when Catherine took his hand in hers. Staring at her, Rome saw a touch of anxiety in her eyes, and he squeezed her hand and mumbled, "It's going to be fine." Although Catherine was nervous about what her uncle's behavior was going to cost their family, she smiled faintly, trying to find comfort in his words. "Look, Elijah! I wasn't the one who set you up!" William calmly said, taking a step back as he tried to create a distance between his brother and him, just in case he became violent again. "Am I supposed to believe that bullcrap! You suddenly got all my clients when

Then he and Catherine got down from the vehicle.Afterward, they headed into the skyscraper in front of them, and when Rome and Catherine got into the lobby, they approached the counter.After the hostess had given them her full attention, Catherine gently uttered, "Hello, we are suppose to meet up with Mr. Ford here. Has he arrived?""Of course. Please, please come with me."

    At seven o'clock the next morning, Catherine and Rome came downstairs, and the moment, they walked into the dining room, Madam Rosey rushed over to her granddaughter and hugged her affectionately. After letting Catherine go, she smiled brightly and said, "Thank you, dear." Feeling shocked, Catherine stared at her grandfather, and when he smiled at her, she felt even more confused. "No news about the event that took place at yesterday's conference has been published. It's like nothing happened." Mr. Barlow said as he stood from his seat. Then he approached Catherine, showed her his phone screen, and said, "But apparently, a reporter spotted you, Rome, and Mr. Ford leaving Skyhigh restaurant together. A photo of you guys was taken, and now, it's all every media is reporting on."

    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
