Chapter Ten

At six on the dot, Rome drove into the parking lot of DreamTeam, and when he stopped the car engine, there was a gentle tap on the windshield.   Gazing at the window, Rome smiled and unlocked the car door. Then he waited for Catherine to get in the front seat before asking, "How long have you been waiting out here?"   "Just a couple of minutes after telling my driver to go home and that you would be picking me up," Catherine said, wearing her seatbelt.   Then she waited patiently for a couple of seconds for Rome to start the car, and when he didn't, she gazed at him.   In that instant, Rome looked into her eyes and said, "We need a safe word."   "What?" Catherine mumbled, trying to understand him.

Chapter Eleven

Keeping silent, Catherine slightly clenched her fist as she stared at her uncles. Then she gazed at her grandfather and asked, "What is the point of this dinner?"  "We think your uncles had gotten enough punishment these past months, and it's embarrassing that we have strangers working at the company, but not family." Mr. Barlow calmly uttered. Without looking at Catherine, Madam Barlow sadly sighed and said, "People talk, and your uncles staying away from the company will look bad for our family reputation. I'm sure they have repented for their sins." Pressing her lips together, Catherine frowned as she stared at her uncles and then gazed at her grandfather, realizing that they didn't want her consent but were afraid to enforce their will on her because of Rome. "Do you want to know what my answer is?" Catherine coldly asked. "Of course, and whatever it is, we will respect it," Elijah said with a half-smile. "Really?"&nbs

Chapter Twelve

It was quiet in the office as Rome pulled all his focus into the document before him, making sure he wasn't missing anything before proceeding to sign it.After Rome got to the final page, a buzzing noise took his attention off the sheet, and he looked at his phone, dropped his pen, and reached for it.The moment he answered the call, Catherine's soft voice echoed into his ear, "Hey, hon, your dad called. He said that he scheduled an appointment for this evening for our clothes fitting for the party, and...""He wants us to go." Rome interrupted, sighing as he rubbed his eyes."Is there a problem? Will you be busy?""No. I will make sure to finish up here early and then pick you up later." The sound of the office door suddenly opening drew Rome's gaze towards the doorway, and he stared at Braden, walking inside."I got to go. But how does picking you up by five sounds?" Rome uttered, not taking his focus off his secretary.

Chapter Thirteen

During their entire conversation, this was the first time Rome noticed an honest expression from Amara, and he was now curious about what the look of anger in her eyes meant. "Is there a problem?" Rome asked, trying to push their conversation further so he can get an idea of who he was dealing with before anything else. "No. It's just frustrating that you are being so technical with me. It makes me feel like you are suspicious of me or something." Amara said, giving a weak smile.  There was a brief pause as Rome stared intensely at her, wondering if she just had an innocent face or she was simply good at hiding her actual emotions. Then he tapped the desk and said, "Don't worry. I'm skeptical of everyone, except those that I already trust." "Well, if that's the case, then I hope I can be someone that you can trust someday, hopefully soon." Amara calmly intoned. Looking directly into Rome's eyes, she then softly smiled with her eye

Chapter Fourteen

At five on the dot, Mr. Orlando brought the car to a stop in DreamTeam parking lot, and then he gazed at Rome in the V-mirror. But he was too focused on his phone to notice his stare. "Hey, hon. I'm so sorry. But I'm stuck in a meeting right now. Can you please wait in my office for a couple of minutes?" Rome silently read Catherine's text. Then he messaged her back, "Sure." Afterward, Rome gazed at K and said, "You don't need to come with me." Knowing that that was a command, K remained seated as Rome left the car and then gazed through the window as he walked into the building. A couple of seconds later, Rome entered Catherine's office, and immediately, his eyes grew cold as he screwed his face into a frown. "What are you doing here!?" Rome firmly asked while he stared at Charles, gazing at him with a smug smile on his face. "My dear cousin-in-law, how lovely it is to see you!" Charles said without losing his smile. "

Chapter Fifteen

At six o'clock on Saturday, Catherine was lying in bed when she heard the bedroom doorknob turn and, immediately, she looked to her right, and her gaze rested on Rome, stepping into the room. "You are finally back," Catherine mumbled as she sat up. After taking out his shirt and dropping it to the floor, he gazed at her and said, "I know that we are going to be slightly late, and I'm sorry that I stayed so long at the company. I lost track of time, an..." "Honey," Catherine softly called out. "Uhm!" "Maybe we should get ready and pick up this conversation later." "Right. I need to shower." Biting on her nail, Catherine watched as Rome headed into the bathroom. Then she got out of bed, walked into their enormous closet, and stopped at a white garment bag. After unzipping it and taking out her dress, Catherine paused for a moment, admiring how absolutely breathtaking the gown looked. Earlier that day,

There was an awkward silence in the atmosphere as all the guests focused solely on Catherine and Chloe, shocked by the sudden turn of events.The same dress that Catherine wore, down to every last bit of details of designs, was what Chloe had on, and Catherine found herself speechless as she stared at her cousin.'You must be kidding me!' Catherine thought, trying to process her feelings.Then she stared at Mr. Ford, and when she saw how mad he looked, she gently said, "I don't want tonight to get ruined because of my cousin, so how about we ignore this and move on with the night, please."Although Mr. Ford didn't respond, he decided to respect Catherine's decision and take a step back for the time being.The quietness in the hall lasted for a couple of minutes. Then whispers began to aroused among the guests.An elegantly dressed lady looked at her husband and mumbled, "I admire that dress so deeply the moment I laid my sight on Chloe Barlo

Chapter Seventeen

As Asher and Mr. Ford watched from a distance, he looked at Mr. Ford and said, "Are you going to do something?" "No. It's not my place to meddle." Mr. Ford mumbled, tightening his grip around his wine glass. Staring at her two granddaughters, Madam Rosey frowned and said, "We can't allow this to continue, or else our family reputation will get ruined more." "I know," Mr. Barlow uttered, scowling at his granddaughters. Then he deeply sighed before marching over to Chloe with Madam Barlow by his side. When Mr. Barlow got closer to her, he stopped, glared at Catherine before focusing on Chloe and saying, "What's going on and why are you making such a big fuss over nothing?" A look of hate blended with anger settled in Chloe's eyes as she scowled at her grandfather and harshly said, "I'm making a big fuss over nothing?! You call Catherine spilling drinks on me twice, 'Nothing!" Then she stared at Catherine and said, "I know th

Chapter Eighteen

Realizing how badly she had messed up, Chloe felt anxious and a bit angry. However, she knew that she couldn't leave the party like that, not after the names she called Catherine in front of all those people. 'I can fix this! It's not too late yet.' Chloe thought, staring down at the floor. Feeling a bit shocked and yet, please, Rome leaned towards Catherine and whispered, "Remind me not to mess with you ever." As she tried not to laugh and keep a straight face, Catherine gave him a side-glance, slightly smiled, and mumbled, "Who's at fault for my behavior change?" Turning his head to face Catherine, Rome smirked and mumbled beneath his breath, "Guilty as charged." "Cousin, I'm sorry for what I said just now. I was so angry that you slapped me twice that I lost control of my sanity for a second and said those nonsense words." Chloe abruptly said with a look of nervousness in her eyes. "It's okay. As long as you learn to keep your hands

Chapter Nineteen

As Mr. Earl slowly woke up from his unconsciousness, Rome stepped over him and headed towards Amara.'Where is he going?" Catherine thought, gazing at Rome.Then when he reached Amara, she slightly pouted as she wondered, 'Who's that?" Gazing directly into her eyes, Rome frowned at Amara and coldly asked, "Who are you really?!""I see. You made someone do a background check on me," Amara said, trying to stay calm. "And what did you find out for you to ask me such a question?""Nothing. There's absolutely no information about you in any database or on the web. It's like you appeared out of thin air." "Hmm, if that's the case, then you did the right investigation."  With a look of hesitation in Amara's expression, she raised her chin as she maintained eye contact with Rome and thought, 'I wonder what your reaction would be if I just come clean here and tell you the truth. Would you be accepting of me or do exactly
