Every effort that Madam Rosey didn't make for Catherine and Rome's wedding, she was making them for Chloe and Dash.
So several days before Chloe's big day, she planned a welcome party, inviting the top-notch in the business and the wealthiest of the wealthy with the hope that this dining night would boast their family reputations.
Those that she invited were people that she wanted so desperately to attend the wedding, and the welcome party was meant to see who all planned to come to the wedding ceremony which was a few days ahead.
Early the morning of the welcome party, Rome raised his lashes as the sunlight shone in his face, and he saw Catherine pacing back and forth.
When she noticed that he was awake, she took a moment to calm down and asked, “Did you order our clothes for tonight?”
Since she had been busy with the company and work, Rome offered to take the burden off her and be the one to purchase their clothing for the party.
For a while, Catherine and Rome spent their time interacting with guests that approached them because Catherine wasn't really excited to go over to her family, and Rome knew that.So he stood by her side and allowed her to be the one to have conversations with people that came up to them even though he knew that they wanted to pay their respects to him.The news about Mr. Ford turning over everything he owned to Rome had spread like wildfire in the upper cycle.Others now respected him not because he was Mr. Ford's heir, but because he was Rome Ford, the richest man in the entire country and beyond.Also, knowing how much Rome meant to his father only added fear to the respect they all had for him, and the only reason all these influential people turned out for the party was that they knew he was going to be there.As Catherine was having small talk with another guest, she unintentionally looked her father in the eye, and he looked disappoint
Time moved at a natural pace, and it was finally the day of Chloe's wedding.That morning, a loud banged on the door caused Catherine to jump out of her sleep.Then she looked at Rome, and at that moment his eyelids rose and their eyes locked.“Catherine!” Edward's voice echoed from outside the room.Knowing that it was her father at the door, Catherine was about to rush out of the bed when Rome grabbed her wrist, causing her to stop and look at him.“Do you still feel the same way that you felt at the party?” Rome asked with his eyes fixed on hers.Although she was confused for a moment, Catherine finally understood the question, and she answered, “Yes, I don't want to go to the wedding.”“Good. Then let me answer the door.” Rome calmly said.Nodding slightly, Catherine smiled and mumbled, “Okay,”Afterward, Rome left the bed and walked to the door. Then he ope
After the reporters had read the document they got from an unknown number, the hall became noisy pretty fast.The flashes from the reporters' cameras kept going off and on, and different journalists from several media didn't waste any time broadcasting the news live.For a moment Rome's attention was on Catherine.Then his focus got drawn to the television when the news about Chloe's wedding popped on the screen.It didn't take long for Catherine to focus on the TV too and her brows pulled together in a frown as she mumbled, “Isn't that Chloe's wedding venue?What's going on?”But Rome kept silent as he watched with a look of satisfaction in his eyes.The commotion in
After Rome drove the vehicle into the yard, it didn't take long for the limousines to enter into the fence.Once he had brought the car to a stop, he remained seated and so did Catherine as they listened to the loud noise of talking and mumbling from her family.Both of them didn't leave the vehicle until everyone had gone into the house.After a few minutes had weny by, Rome reached for the door handle. But Catherine grabbed his arm and mumbled, “Not yet.”So he let go of the handle and both of them sat, listening to the silence in the car.Then after a minute or two had passed, Catherine took in a deep breath and said, “I'm ready to face the noise.”The living room was in chaos as everyone tried to speak at the same time, and when Mr. Barlow had had enough of it, he screamed, “Everyone shut up!”It took a few seconds, but the room finally got quiet, and at that moment, Catherine and Rome wal
Even though Madam Rosey had made it clear to Chloe, she took one look at Dash and said, “I want a divorce.” The warning look her grandmother gave her had Chloe feeling scared for a moment, but she wasn't planning on backing down.“Why?” Dash asked as he walked further into the living room.“Because you are broke!”“Says who?”
It was six o'clock when the Barlows arrived at the venue for the wedding reception.When their vehicles came to a stop, they were not shocked to see the reporters waiting for them at the front of the building.“Mr. Barlow, what do you think about the news concerning your new grandson-in-law?” A reporter asked, pointing his mic in Mr. Barlow's face as he tried to walk past him.At first, Mr. Barlow was hesitant to answer. Then he sighed and said, “We believe that the news about our in-laws are fake, and we are standing by them against this deceitful rumor.&r
The sunlight poured through the window and beamed on Catherine's face, so she roll over to her left and slowly raised her eyelashes.“Good morning. Are you going somewhere?” Catherine asked as she watched Rome buttoning his shirt.“Morning, yeah. I got a meeting with someone.” Rome said, staring at her.A yawn escaped Catherine's lip as she rubbed her eyelids. Then she got out of bed, picked Rome's coat off the blanket, and approached him.“With who?” Catherine whispered as she handed his coat to him.‘Someone you know.’ Rome thought, accepting his coat from her.Then he wore it and said, “A workmate.”A while later, Catherine and Rome came downstairs, and when they entered the dining room, both of them were shocked to see Mr. Barlow and Madam Rosey chatting and laughing happily with Dash.“Oh my, for real?” Madam Rosey asked as she put a waffle on Dash's p
Blowing a whistle, Mr. Orlando drummed his fingers on the steering wheel. But then he hastily stopped when Rome got into the backseat of the Mercedes.“Good morning, young master!” Mr. Orlando hastily said as he sat up straight in his seat.Then he eyed K when he said, “Good Morning, boss.”“Morning,” Rome mumbled beneath his breath.Then he leaned back against the seat and said, “Orlando,”“Yes, young master!” Mr. Orlando immediately answered.“Find out which one of Mr. Barlow's partners has a son named 'Zayn.”“Okay.”For a moment, Mr. Orlando waited to see if he had anything else to say, but when Rome didn't speak, he started the car engine and drove off.“I received a call from Jerry a few minutes back. He called to inform me that your clothes are ready.” Mr. Orlando said, keeping his eyes focused on the road.
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.
