With her back turned to Rome, Catherine clutched onto the sheets, unable to stop thinking about how Rome had broken yet another promise.

Then she felt him shift on the bed, but she remained stiff, holding in her breath because she didn't want to talk about last night with him again since she was still annoyed by it.

'Is she still mad?' Rome thought as he stared at Catherine's back, wondering when she would turn around and gaze at him.

After a couple of minutes passed and she didn't, he got off the bed and headed for the shower. 

When Catherine heard the bathroom door shut, she closed her eyes, drew a deep breath, and then slowly exhaled.

'Why do I feel so mad? I should be over this by now.' Catherine thought, tightening her grip on the blanket.

A few minutes went by, then Rome returned to the bedroom, and finally, Catherine turned around and stared at him.

Her gaze lowered towards the bandage on his side, and she frowned with a h

    The living room remained quiet for a couple of minutes. Then Rome looked at Edward and said, "Come with me.""Why? Whatever you have to say to me, you can say it before the entire family." Edward firmly said.Frowning, Rome narrowed his eyes and casually uttered, "Are you going to act so blind and only see what you want to see? If that's the case, you are useless to me since your mind is one-sided."A look of shock crossed Edward's face as he stared at Rome, realizing what those words meant.'He has the position of one of the most powerful men in the country, and after I just accused him, he still wants to help me. Maybe it's time to stand by his side because with him, I have so many potentials to

    The moment Catherine and Rome got home and entered their bedroom, she looked back at him and softly asked, "You weren't serious about us cutting ties with my family, were you?"Not answering, Rome walked past her, sat at the edge of the mattress, and then fixed his gaze on her as he said, "I was,"A frown surfaced on Catherine's face, but that didn't stop him from saying, "Are you having second thoughts because of what your grandmother said? Both she and her husband are toxic and selfish. Also, they are trying to manipulate you.""Please, don't say that. I know my grandparents are harsh, which causes a lot of division in our family, but they had to be for the survival of our family success." Catherine downheartedly mumbled.Then she hesitated for a moment, trying to find a good reason to defend her family before finally saying, "My grandparent had made the sacrifices and done their job to keep the family together for all these years despite ou

    By three o'clock, Rome entered the living room, and the moment Blaze saw him, he stood to his feet and said, "Boss, the guys and I were talking, and we think it would be best if we all go with you on this trip.""Why?" Rome calmly asked."Well, what happened yesterda...""Weren't you guys' fault. So if you three feel the need to babysit me, don't because I'm capable of handling myself.""But boss, if that knife would have gone any further into your side, you would have been seriously hurt. Ma…""But it didn't."Unable to let go of the feeling of guilt, Blaze made eye contact with Rome and said, "Pardon me for this, boss. But even though you are on top of your game and train constantly, last night only proves that you can't let your guard down.""You guys seriously had a meeting on my name," Rome casually said, taking a seat on the couch."Scar can't forgive himself for what happened, and K won't do the same.

    After waiting patiently for a couple of minutes, Blaze heard the front door open, and he immediately swayed his gaze towards it.Instantly, his jaw dropped, and he blankly stared at Catherine approaching the car, wearing a red slim fit, knee-length dress with her hair styled in a messy bun.'Boss is so lucky.' Blaze absentmindedly thought, admiring the smokey makeup on her face before snapping out of his head.Then he tried to get out of the car and opened the door for Catherine, but she had already got a hold of the back door handle and was opening it.When Catherine got seated in the backseat of the vehicle, a couple of minutes went by in awkward silence. Then she finally focused on Blaze and asked, "Is there something wrong with the car?""No, Miss!" Blaze hastily said, turning the key in a rush.Feeling anxious, Mr. Orlando hesitated for a moment. Then he fixed his eyes on Rome and said, "Boss, according to the information I gathered fro

    After staring at the wine for quite some time, Catherine looked at Earl, softly smiled, and said, "So, what about DreamTeam that makes you and your father want to work with me, except for the fact that you think I'm a sensual woman?" Then she watched Earl's gaze lowered towards the glass before drifting back to her face, and feeling a bit pressured by his stare, Catherine picked up the glass and gave him a quick smile. For a while, she slowly twirled the glass in her hand and then boldly asked, "Are you going to answer my question, Mr. Earl?" "Yes! Right!" Earl said, pulling himself together. At that moment, his phone rang, and even though he tried to ignore and focus his attention on Catherine, the calls kept coming. So he finally got frustrated and picked up the phone. Then he glimpsed at Catherine and said, "Excuse me for a moment." Afterward, he stood to his feet, walked a few distances away from Catherine, and turned his back to h

    Tightening his grip on Earl's hand, Rome knocked him to the ground before angrily punching him countless times in the face. The pressure that Rome put on Earl's body had him unable to break loose or defend himself as Rome's fist slammed into his jaw, causing him to taste a surge of blood on his tongue. 'He's not going to do it, right?' Catherine thought, staring at the blood on Rome's knuckle as it slammed into Earl's face. Without talking, K looked at Brook with a hint of worry in his eyes. But he maintained his silence, even though he knew K's stared meant, "Should we intervene?" After receiving another punch from Rome, Earl struggled, lifted his hands, and grabbed him by the collar. But Rome held his wrists and yanked his hands away from him, ignoring the fact that the snitches in his palm had ripped, and he was bleeding from the cut. Then he met Earl's eyes before his fist cluttered on Earl's face, and then he put a hole in his sto

    Keeping his eyes on Catherine's worried face, Rome lifted his hand and said, “Do you see this cut,”“Yeah,” Catherine softly intoned, focusing solely on the bandage on his palm.Without uttering another word, Rome pulled his shirt off his body, tossed it to the floor, and said, "And this, do you see it?"At first, Catherine felt hesitant as she stared at the bandage on his side, but before she could realize it, the tip of her fingers was gently caressing against his skin, and she whispered, "Yes,""They will both heal. But do you know what will never heal if it got wounded?" Rome calmly uttered.Although Catherine already knew the answer, she stayed silent as she stared solely into his eyes with a hint of sadness in hers.Then her lashes flickered when she felt Rome hold her hand and bring it towards his chest."My heart. It's never going to heal if something happens to you." Rome said, resting her palm flat ag

    The sound of a gentle knock on their door forced Rome to open his eyes. Then he stared at Catherine in his arms before pulling his hand from beneath her and leaving the bed.When Rome reached the door and opened it, he gazed at Nora with a touch of dizziness in his eyes and asked, "What is it?""Good morning, sir. Your father wants me to let you know that he's here, and he wants to speak with you." Nora humbly said."Which one?""Mr. Miller."The sleepiness Rome felt suddenly faded when he realized that Mr. Miller didn't call him after the news about Natasha and him became public.Also, a look of anxiety clouded his eyes, and he couldn't help stressing that Mr. Miller might be angry with him about that."Tell him that I will be down in a second," Rome said.Then he shut the door, headed into their closet, and came out a couple of minutes later, wearing a sweatsuit.Pacing back and forth in the living room, Mr.

    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
