2024-10-29 19:42:56The 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

The first light of dawn met Rome laying in bed, wide awake as he spaced out in his thoughts. “What is it?” Catherine softly asked, staring at him with a hint of worry in her eyes. I‘m thinking of ways to turn your family on each other,’ Rome thought with a faded smile. Then he laid on his side, placed his hands gently on Catherine’s right cheek, and said, “It's nothing for you to worry about.” Even though she wasn't satisfied with his reply, she said nothing and let out a soft sighed. After a moment of silence, Catherine pressed her lips together, and then said, “Do you have work today?” “Why do you ask?” Rome gently intoned, noticing the hesitation in her eyes. “Well, today is my first day as the executive vice president of the 'DreamTeam', and… and I was hoping you could go to the company with me.” “Sure. I would love to stand by you, wife.” “Oh, but your part-time job.” “I don't have any shift today.”

When Catherine and Rome got back to her office, she sluggishly sat in her seat and rested her head on the desk.Then she shut her eyes closed and mumbled, “I've been trying my best to act in an upright, moral way, but why do I end up getting hurt for doing the right thing?”‘Because your heart is pure gold, and people with good hearts get step on by those who are self-centered and selfish.’ Rome thought with darkness in his expression.After a moment of silence, Catherine lifted her head, and when she met his eyes, he looked calm and naive as he gently smiled at her and thought, ‘Theres a saying that goes, ‘good always wins over evil,’ I'm going to make that true for you.’“Don't you want to sit down? Your legs will hurt if you keep standing like that.” Catherine gently intoned, staring at him with concern in her eyes.“Actually, I need to drink,” Rome said, focusing away

After wandering in their thoughts, none of the team members knew what Mr. Ford was talking about, so they all maintained their silence, afraid that the wrong word would get them in trouble. “What should I do to get a damn answer from you guys! Cut a finger?” Mr. Ford shouted, slightly waving the knife. Horror took off the faces of the team members, and finally, one of them gained the courage and mumbled, “Mr… Ford, please forgive our simple-minded minds, but we don't know what you are talking about.” Scowling, Mr. Ford leaned forward, rested his elbows on his jeans, and asked in annoyance, “Did you or did you not bully my daughter-in-law?” A look of confusion crossed their faces as they stared wide-eyed at each other. “Excuse my boldness for saying this, but you don't have a daughter-in-law.” One for them said, staring nervously at the floor. Gazing to the right, Mr. Ford smirked and asked, “Is it true that you are not married, s

The touch of a tender finger caressing against the skin of his face caused Rome to slowly raise his eyelids. Then he gazed into Catherine's eyes and faintly smiled. “Morning, wife.”Rome said, holding onto her hand. “Sorry that I woke you,” Catherine mumbled with a hint of worry in her eyes. “It's nothing. Is everything okay?” “I've been thinking, should I just save myself the trouble for later and give Charles’ position to him this morning?” Pulling her onto his chest, Rome hugged her tightly and asked, “Is that what you want?” “Well no. But wouldn't it be best to give up when the situation is less disgraceful?” Catherine mumbled, wrapping her hand around his waist. “What do you plan on gaining from giving up?” “Nothing.” “Exactly, you get nothing from giving up, so if that's your plan to gain nothing then go ahead.” There was a long pause. Then Catherine let out a soft breath and mumbled, “Do you think

The loud music from his ringtone caused Rome to moan in his sleep as he slightly rolled over to his side, then his hand patted against the nightstand until he got a hold of his phone.“One more minute,” Rome whispered, raising his eyelid before opening his other eye.When he caught a glimpse of the name on the screen, he immediately got off the bed and headed into the bathroom.He then rubbed his eyelids and let out a yawn before answering the call.“Dad, it's six o'clock. What is this about?” Rome mumbled, clearing his throat.“It's the weekend. You and I have a breakfast plan.” Mr. Ford's voice echoed from the speakers, sounding a bit excited and a little annoyed.“I know. But it's six.”“How long does the morning last for?”“From twelve a.m. to eleven fifty-nine a.m.”“Good. Those entire hours are breakfast hours, so get your but

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
