Chapter Twenty-Four
Last Updated:
2024-10-29 19:42:56At six o'clock, Rome had just finished reviewing the last of the documents that he abandoned at the meeting he left earlier that day.
Then he rested back in his seat, and at that moment, the office door opened, and when Rome saw Catherine walking into the office, the tiredness he felt suddenly seemed to fade as a feeling of warmth coursed through him.
"What are you doing here?" Rome asked, waking up from his seat.
Then he walked over to the front of his desk and sat at the edge before holding Catherine's hand and pulling her towards him.
When she hit against his body, Rome held her waist, looked into her eyes, and faintly grinned.
Hesitating for a second, Catherine studied his mood, and then she said, "I came to take you on a dinner date that… that your father invited us to, and he said it will be just the three of us."
'It's like he has forgotten my number.' Rome thought in annoyance.
By Seven o'clock, Rome and Catherine

At seven-fifteen in the morning, Catherine came downstairs, dressed for work, and when she walked into the dining room, she saw Mr. Miller. "Good morning, father," Catherine said as her eyes lit up. "Oh, my dear. Please come and sit down. I know how much you and Rome love my cooking, and after what you two went through during the party, I thought it would be nice to stop by today and cheer you two up with food." Mr. Miller happily said, drawing a chair for Catherine. After she had taken a seat, she looked up at him, gave a warm smile, and said, "This is such a nice surprise, father. Thank you. I'm sure Rome will love it as much as I do." At that moment, Rome walked into the room, and when Catherine saw him, her face glowed with excitement as she said, "Hon, father made your favorite dishes." For a moment, a faint smile surfaced on Rome's lips. Then his expression grew serious as he stared apologetically at Mr. Miller and said, "I'm so sorry, b

The sky was moonlit and dark blue when Mr. Orlando drove in front of "XS Nightclub." Then he looked at the v-mirror and said, "Sir, we are here." Not responding, Rome looked at the text he sent Catherine, "Babe, I will be home a bit late today. Don't wait for me, okay?" After a few minutes later, he finally got a message back, "Okay. I love you." "Love you too." Rome typed, and then he hit send. Putting his phone back into his pocket, Rome looked at K and said, "Let's go." "Boss, Are you sure you want to go in there? That place is chaotic and outlawed. Maybe we can get Scar to bring her out here." K humbly said, staring at the entrance of the club. Ignoring K's words, Rome pushed the car door open and walked over to Scar, who was standing at the entrance of the building. "Where is she?" Rome aske

For a while, it was quiet. Then Rome heard Joe say, "Okay, it's your choice. But if any damage occurs in that room, you are the one paying for it!"Afterward, it became silent again, and after holding his tongue for a couple of seconds, K mumbled, "I guess the hard way it is."Pretending like he didn't hear his bodyguard's words, Rome looked at Natasha and said, "You fear him. But that's not the only feeling you have for him. You also hate him."A look of hesitation clouded Natasha's expression for a moment. Then she let out a soft breath and said, "I do fear Rookie, an…""I'm not talking about Rookie, but James, James Earl.""Why won't you let this go.""Because I hate him too, and I want to take him down before he hurts anyone else again."A bitter laugh escaped Natasha's lips as a drop of tear rolled from the corner of her eye, and then she frowned at Rome and said, "Take him down?! Don't you know how powerful Earl is, or ar

Keeping his fingers tightly around the blade, Rome was striving his best to stop it from going further into his side.Although the cut he got in his palm was bleeding badly, and it was painful to keep holding onto the bare knife, he put all his efforts into stopping the blade from pushing into his skin."How long do you think you can keep this up, fool! A minute or maybe a couple of seconds?" Rookie coldly uttered, struggling to break his blade free from Rome's grip.Knowing that Rookie was right and that he was running out of energy, Rome became desperate and slammed his head into Rookie's forehead, causing the back of Rookie's head to bang into the wall.Both men were in agonizing pain, but Rookie was affected more, and the moment his grip slightly released from the knife, Rome snatched it out of his hand.Then he hastily looked into K's worried eyes and threw the knife at him.The instant it hit the ground, K picked it up and frowned as h

When Rome entered his mansion, he was about to head upstairs when he heard, "Sir."Immediately, he stopped, turned around, and gazed at an elderly-looking lady staring at him."What is it, Nora?" Rome calmly asked."Umm... Ma'am is sleeping in the living room," Nora mumbled.Pulling his brows into a frown, Rome took a long look at the head maid and then said, "What!""Well, Ma'am has been waiting for you to come home, and she fell asleep a few minutes ago." Nora humbly intoned.A minute went by with them gazing at each other in silence. Then Rome walked past Nora and headed into the living room.When he arrived, and his gaze rested on Catherine, a sigh escaped his lip. Then he walked over to her, staring down at her peaceful face.Not wanting to wake Catherine up, he bent over, lifted her off the couch, and carried her out of the living room, refusing to acknowledge the pain ripping through his body.After he got i

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

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
