2024-10-29 19:42:56"Please, turn off the light." Rome moaned, covering his head with the blanket as he folded himself into a ball.
Frowning, Catherine tied the curtain and then approached the bed, pulling the sheet off Rome's head.
With his eyelid squeezed shut, he whispered, "Babe, no..."
"Seriously, it is almost ten o'clock, and we both need to go to work," Catherine mumbled, frowning when he slowly opened one of his eyes to look at her.
Hearing the annoyance in Catherine's tone, Rome grabbed her wrist and pulled her onto the bed.
Then he hugged onto her body tightly and mumbled, “Can we just stay home today?"
"Are you still upset about Grey not knowing who the puppets' master is?" Catherine softly intoned, gazing into his dull eyes.
"I have never felt so weak and vulnerable in my life before, and knowing that I have you mess up in all of this, is my biggest fear, not being able to keep you safe and shield you in it all..."

The door to the security room opened, and Thomas turned his gaze toward the doorway, swallowing hard as he stared at Rome, Brook, and Blaze.“Thomas, we need to have a chat,” Rome said, staring at the screens in the room for a moment.Then he walked over to a seat, sat down, and crossed his leg over the other while gazing Thomas dead in his eyes.“What do you want to talk to me about, sir?” Thomas mumbled, dragging his gaze to the floor.“I need to view the security footages of the hallway in the east wing from the day my wife's dress got brought into this house to the time of my father's welcome back party,” Rome said with his eyes still focus on Thomas.It immediately became silent between both men, and for a while, Thomas didn’t utter a word which made Rome a bit suspicious of him.“I’m really not in the mood to keep repeating myself, so can we speed this up, Thomas?” Rome coldly

Once Mr. Orlando had brought the car to a stop, K rushed out and opened the vehicle’s back door.“Thanks,” Rome said as he stepped out of the car.Then he waited for no one and headed directly into the enormous mansion before him.“Good day, young master.” Butler Hobson said as he gazed at Rome with a friendly smile on his face.“A pleasant day to you too,” Rome hastily replied before heading upstairs with K just a few steps behind him.When Rome got to a door at the west end of the hall, he paused for a moment, took in a deep breath, sigh, then knocked on the door.

After turning off her computer, Catherine gazed to the right and stared at Rome, sleeping on the couch in her office.Instantly, her lips curved into a smile, and she rested her chin, staring adorably at him as she mumbled, "Aww, he looks so cute in that position."For a while, she stayed like that, watching him without losing her bright smile, almost like she was falling in love with him all over again with every passing second.Finally, after a couple of minutes had gone by, she picked up her phone, stuffed it into her bag, and grabbed her coat off the rack.After wearing it, she approached the couch, squatted, and looked at Rome's closed eyelids."Hon, it's time to get going," Catherine mumbled, tapping Rome on his arm.When she gently hit his hand for the third time, Rome slowly raised his lashes, shifted his head to the left, and looked deep

The sound of the alarm clock forced Catherine to squeeze her eyelids before slowly raising her lashes. For a moment, she silently watched Rome fix his tie with a gentle smile on her lips. After he got done, he turned around to grab his coat off the couch, and then Rome stopped, gazing at Catherine for a couple of seconds before smiling as he mumbled, "You are awake." "Yeah," Catherine whispered, drawing the blanket off her. Then she walked toward Rome, grabbed his coat off the couch, and assisted him in wearing it. Once Catherine got done, she stroked her palms against his chest, and as she was about to draw her hands back, Rome gently grabbed her waist, looking deep into her eyes. "How about after Amara, and I get done with this Ribbon Cutting Ceremony, I pick you up from work, and we go on a date to any place of your choice?"

When the door to Catherine’s office opened, and Rome walked in with lawyer Lincoln a few steps behind him, Charles sneered and narrowed his eyes.Then he stood from his seat when Rome approached him and tapped Rome on the shoulder as he sarcastically said, "Aha, my dear cousin-in-law. I don't know why my cousin called you for whe..."Suddenly a loud cry rushed from Charles's lips when Rome grabbed his wrist and viciously twisted it."Cather... Aughhh!” Charles screamed as he stared into Rome's cold gaze. “Yeow!”Struggling against the anguish he felt, Charles stared at Catherine with wet eyes and yelled, “Owww!”"Do

Seeing that Rome wasn’t focusing on him, Charles struggled to his feet and tried to walk out of the office, but Rome’s voice stopped him in his track, “Where do you think you are going?”Chills ran down Charles’s spine as he held in his breath. Then he slowly turned around to look at Rome and said, “I’m going to the hospital to get my wrist check.”“You can do that after we go to see your grandfather,” Rome uttered with a straight face.Frowning, Charles clenched his jaw as he thought, ‘If only you weren’t Rome Ford, and if only I haven’t seen how you body-slam people, I would have given you a piece of my mind.’Swaying his gaze off Rome, Charles looked at Catherine and said, “I’m in pain. Can you make your husband understand that and allow me to seek medical treatment first? It's not like I'm some criminal!”“A broken wrist won’t kill

Seeing that her grandfather was struggling to wake from the floor, Catherine rushed over to him. But when she extended her hand towards him, he slapped it away from his face and shouted, "I can get up by myself!""Grandpa," Catherine whispered with a look of hurt in her eyes."This! All this is your fault! I warned you, and yet you didn't listen to me! ""How is this my fault?!""No one ever listens anymore in this family! But you! You should have! If you did, your idiotic cousin wouldn't have gone this far!""What?"Frowning, Catherine stepped back as she watched her grandfather stand to his

A yawn escaped Catherine’s lips as she stretched her hands and then smiled, inhaling deeply.“Someone looks happy this morning,” Rome said with his gaze glued to her cute grin. “I guess I was worried for nothing.”After sitting up, he hugged her from the back and kissed her neck before resting his chin on her shoulder.“I know that I should feel sad, and I am a little bit. But I feel relieved like a suffocating burden has gotten lifted of my shoulder. And now, I have the chance to start from scratch and figure out who I am outside of being a Barlow,” Catherine said, giving him a side-eyed.Then she drew a deep breath and mumbled, "I wonder who she is?""Who?" Rome asked, drawing his brows together."Who is Catherine without her last names?""Only you can figure that out, babe, and I promise that I will be right here, by your side while you do."Resting her fingers on the back of Rome's

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
