“What is going on here?” Mr. Barlow calmly asked with a hint of anger in his tone when he met up with Catherine and Rome.
The instant her gaze met with her grandfather's angry eyes, Catherine's self-confidence dropped back to zero and panic was the only thing she felt.
Inside, Rome was enrage, seeing traces of fear in his wife's expression, yet he kept a calm face.
The rest of the Barlow family met up with Mr. Barlow, and when Chloe's and Catherine's eyes met, she threw her cousin a hard look then slyly smiled.
None of them said a word as they waited eagerly for Madam Rosey and Mr. Barlow to lash out and humiliate the couple.
But as Mr. Barlow moved his lips to utter a word, his eyes rested on Mr. Ford cold stare, and his entire expression softened. Then he focused his attention

The musicians kept playing classic tunes as the guests enraged themselves in discussions, munching on appetizers, and dancing.“The way the night is going, you might just end up shaving your hair.” Jeff teased, smiling at Charles, but he got an icy stare in return.“Catherine may be assigned to that account, but just as it was easy for it to be taken from Chloe and passed onto her, it's that easy to snitch it from her grip,” Charles replied with a frown.Then glared at his cousin before walking away, heading towards Bill.“What is he up to?” Jeff mumbled, scowling as he watched Charles meet up with the chairman of the MC group.At the same time, Catherine and Rome were in the process of walking towards Bill when she saw her cousin and him talking, and she stopped in her tracks.“What's wrong, wife?” Rome softly asked, sadly gazing at her.“My cousin is planning on killing two birds

“What's going on?” Madam Rosey mumbled, gazing in Carmen and Rome's direction.Then she stared at her husband, and he seemed concerned as he watched his granddaughter, chatting happily with four of the biggest chairmen in the business circle.“What do you think they are talking about?” Elijah asked with a frown.“We wouldn't know until we meet them. Let's go.” Mr. Barlow said, sitting his wine glass on the table.Excitement was the only emotion Catherine felt as she gazed at the chairmen's lively faces, knowing that her potential was getting the spotlight it's deserved.Over the past years, she had struggled so many times to showcase her talent, yet she kept messing up for unknown reasons.However, now that she stood in the midst of the top-notches in the business world, she was sure that her past mistakes weren't due to her fault.“Bill, Elon, Francis, Benjamin, what could my gran

“What happened at that party last night!” Madam Rosey shouted, glaring at her grandchildren.The living room was awfully quiet as they all hung their head low, avoiding their grandmother's icy gaze.“Someone better start talking?” Rosey said, slamming her hand against the chair arm.There was a long pause, then Charles gazed at Catherine and smirked.“All this is Catherine's fault.” He mumbled, pitifully staring at his grandmother.A look of disbelief settled on Jeff's face as he threw his cousin a hard look and thought, ‘What are you even talking about now?’Then he gazed at Richard and Chloe, and from their expression, Jeff could tell that they were thinking the same thing.“How is Catherine to blame here? She got all four accounts.” Edward asked, scowling at his nephew.“That's the problem, uncle. She got all three accounts that weren't assigned to her.”

“Good morning. What are you working on?” Rome mumbled as he stared at Catherine, concentrating on her laptop.For a moment, she focused on the screen. Then she gazed at him and said, “It took three weeks, but I'm finally finished with my final soft copy for the plans for the ‘Fine wine’ project, and I just send it to the team members.”A smile crept on Rome’s lips as he got out of bed and approached Catherine. Then he squatted in front of her and softly intoned, “You have been working so hard. I'm proud of you, wife.”“Really?” Catherine whispered, gazing into his eyes.For the past week, she had been doubting herself every step of the way, knowing how many people are expecting her to fail, and Rome knew it, even though he didn't talk about it with her.As he slowly ran his fingers through her hair, he nodded and said, “Yes. How about you take a day off, and we can go out for d

The bathroom door opened and Rome walked into the room.His lips curved into a soft smile as he stared at Catherine's sleeping face. Then he walked over to the closet, took out his clothes, and got dressed.As he was about to wear his shoes, his phone buzzed on the nightstand. So he grabbed it, sat on the edge of the bed, and answered the call.“Good morning, boss. What is it?” Rome asked, eyeing Catherine for a moment.“Good morning, young master. We have been watching the team members for weeks, and we have discovered three traitors, and they are responsible for purchasing the raw material for the winery.” Mr. Orlando's voice flowed into his ear.“Really? Go on.”“We discovered that they have been pre-ordering cheaper materials with third-rate quality from the Whitewater Construction store, instead, of the first class materials your wife requested.”“I'm on my way.”

The sound of her ringtone drew Catherine's attention from her computer screen and onto her phone.“Unknown number,” She mumbled, picking it up.When she answered the call, a male voice echoed into her ear, “Good day, Miss Catherine. I'm an agent from CMTA, and our agency was informed that the products you are purchasing for the Winery are not quality construction materials.”“What! Every pre-ordered material that my team has made is for first-class products.” Catherine said with a frown.“That's not what the report said. Just to be on the safe side, we are sending some construction Supervisors over to your company. Please cooperate with them.”“Of course.”“Oh, and Miss Catherine, if the materials are truly not up to the national standards for building a winery, we are shutting down the project.”After the call had ended, Catherine tossed her phone on a file and r

It was silent for a while, and after waiting for almost an hour, Catherine's office door finally opened and The construction Supervisors from CMTA entered the room.“Good day to all. We were told that this is Miss Catherine’s office.” One of the supervisors said.“Yes, I'm she,” Catherine mumbled, panicking a bit.“We were sent by CMTA concerning the report file to our head office.”“I know.”Suddenly the door opened again, and the chairman of ‘Fine Wine’ walked into the room.When Benjamin saw Rome, the anger in his eyes faded quickly, and he was left with a humble expression.“Good day, Mr. Barlow, Charles, Catherine…” Benjamin said, pausing when he noticed Rome slightly shook his head.“Benjamin, a pleasant day to you.” Mr. Barlow intoned with a straight face.Then he frowned as he gazed at Catherine and said,

The moment everyone arrived in Catherine’s office, her, Mr. Barlow, and Benjamin's phone started ringing.The three of them answered the calls almost at the same time, and the room fell silent as they listened attentively.Throughout the entire call, their faces bore several emotions. But after the call ended, Catherine looked shocked, Benjamin appeared annoyed, and Mr. Barlow’s expression was filled with rage.“How dare he! That! That weasel. Someone get Jamie into this office!” Mr. Barlow screamed, clutching his fist.Although Rome’s face bore no expression, he was smiling on the inside, knowing that his plan had fallen into place.When Benjamin gazed at him, he smirked and thought, ‘This is your doing. Like father, like son. But I'm not complaining. I'm here to enjoy the show.’Fear ceased Charles as he gazed into Mr. Barlow’s mad eyes and asked, “Grandfather, is there a problem? Why a

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,

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
