Chapter Fourty

The instant Catherine saw Chloe walking into her office, she looked her dead in the eyes and raised her chin as her expression grew cold. "Dear cousin, if a stranger was in this room with us, they might mistake us to be enemies because of the way you are looking at me right now," Chloe said, taking a seat on the chair with a soft smile on her lips. "Why are you here?" Catherine coldly asked without losing her icy expression. "So you are just going to make me go straight to the point?"  "Yes. Now, what's your reason for being here?" Even though she tried to keep up the act, there was tension in Chloe's grin, and slowly her smile began to fade until her face became darker. "Well, after finding out that your husband almost killed Earl and beat him into a coma, I felt the need to stop by and check up on you to see how you are doing." Chloe said, striving to continue playing the caring cousin card. "Thank you for your concern,

Sitting in the silence with a glass of whiskey in his hand, Mr. Ford frowned each time he wondered about what was happening in the conference room. But then again, he knew he couldn't go there because he wanted to give Rome the chance to stand on his own two feet.After taking the third sip of his drink, the office door suddenly flew open, and Chairman Herman walked in with twelve men behind him.When his gaze rested on Mr. Ford, the anger in his eyes died down for a second and he stopped in his tracks."Herman, don't you think you should know better with your current age!" Mr. Ford calmly uttered, and yet, his expression was cold."I have no fuss with you, Ford. It's your son that I'm here to see!" Herman stated, feeling his anger awakening again."You have a fuss with my boy?""We both know the answer to that question, Ford. So let's not beat around the bush here!""You are the one waffling, Herman, because you should k

Chapter Fourty-Two

With a look of hesitation on Brook's face, he stood silently at the door for a couple of minutes, and then after waiting a few more seconds, he stared at the time on his watch and then knocked. "It is open. Come in," Rome's said with his focus on his phone. The door immediately opened, and Brook walked into the suite, shutting it gently behind him. Then he approached Rome with a folder in his hand, and when he reached him, he rested the folder on the table. After glancing at the folder for a moment, Rome stared back at his phone and mumbled, "What's in it? "As you wanted, I investigated all the employees of 'Customers and Board Protection authorities of Archenland,' and there's one person who has connections with Earl," Brook said. "What is their name?" Rome asked, still staring at his phone. "Toby. Apparently, he and Earl's personal assistant had a brief meeting recently. These are photos from CCTV cameras showing them at a ca

The first thought that crossed Rome's mind was that if he was speaking with the puppets' master. But he kept silent about his curiosity and asked, "Is there a reason you want us to know each other?" "Yes." The fellow said from the other side of the call. "Is it possible for us to meet and talk, let say this evening, by eight o'clock?"Although there were so many questions roaming in Rome's head that he desperately wanted an answer to, he remained calm and said, "Sure. You know where I stay, right?"The line suddenly became quiet for a moment, and Rome grew impatient by every second that went by in silence. Then he finally heard, "Yes. You stay at 'Hotel Plaza.' Is that where you want us to meet?""Yes. At the hotel restaurant." Rome said, striving to stop himself from asking the one question that he so desperately one to ask."Okay. I will meet you there then. Tonight at eight o'clock." "I will be waiting."There was a bri

Chapter Fourty-Four

Biting on her bottom lip, Chloe took a long look at Rome, and then she smirked and said, "There's no need to be shy. It's just the two of us here." When Rome didn't speak or look her way, Chloe got annoyed, but she suppressed her feelings as a lopsided grin surfaced on her lips, and softly intoned, "I want you, Rome!" There were so many thoughts running through Rome's head, and even though a lot of things didn't make sense, he knew one thing for sure that he needed to get out of there. "Can you at least look at me when I am talking to you?" Chloe softly cried, sniffing gently.  "Hell no!" Rome mumbled, furrowing his brows. Then without thinking for a second, he turned around and started heading for the door. As he was about to reach the handle, he felt a tender hand grab his wrist and hold onto it tightly. "I know that in the past, I picked on you a lot and said all kinds of mean stuff to you, but I did it because I liked

Chapter Forty-Five

When Rome got home, he was about to head upstairs when he saw Scar approaching him from the opposite direction. With a look of confusion in his eyes, he faintly smiled and mumbled, "Boss, you are home,"  "Yeah," Rome muttered, looking over Scar's shoulder. "Did something happen to Catherine?" "No. Miss is upstairs, in your bedroom."  "Then why isn't sh…" Holding in the rest of his statement, Rome walked past Scar and hurried upstairs, heading straight for their bedroom. When he got inside, an his gaze rested on Catherine, laying on the bed, he let out a sigh of relief as he gently closed the door. Then he walked over to the bed, sat beside her, and gazed at her face. At first, he didn't notice it. But after taking a closer look at Catherine's eyes, he saw that her lashes were fluttering. "Are you asleep?" Rome mumbled without taking his eyes off hers. Gently squeezing her eyelids, Catherine pin

Chapter Forty-Six

The dining table was quiet as Catherine and Rome had their breakfast. But she was all smiles as she bit into her toast. "What is it?" Rome asked, looking adoringly at her. "Nothing. I'm just happy." Catherine mumbled without losing her smile. Slightly shaking his head, Rome gave a brief chuckle before focusing on his bowl of strawberries. It got quiet again, but two minutes later, Daniel, the head of the house security, walked into the dining room, disturbing the quietness as he said, "Ma'am, your cousin's husband is here." "Dash?" Catherine asked, frowning faintly. "Why is he at our home this early?!" "Allow him inside, and take him to the living room." Rome calmly uttered. Nodding slightly, Daniel looked at him and said, "Yes, boss." Then he turned around and walked out of the dining room. "Did Chloe not contact Dash already to tell him where she is?!" Catherine said in annoyance. "Hey, it's fine. Fini

That's why they are out here acting like a bunch of fools!" Mr. Ford shouted in a fit of rage.Swaying his gaze away from the broken pieces of bowl, he gazed down at the paused video displayed on his screen and then picked his phone off the dining room table.After scrolling through his contact for a while, he stopped at Brook's number before dialing it.It took less than two seconds for Brook to answer the call.Then looking at Blaze with a look of nervousness on his face, he humbly said, "Hello, big boss.""Where are you!"

Chapter Forty-Eight

Six hours before the party, when Chloe stepped out of the airport and the afternoon sun hit against her face, she drew her cap downward and lowered her head. Even though the dark glasses on her face felt a bit uncomfortable, she refused to take it off as she stared around looking for a cab. Then she suddenly saw a built guy with his hair wrapped in a bun waving at her. 'Wow, he would be a total catch if he was loaded and not a cab driver.' Chloe thought as she approached him. After she reached him, he smiled and said, "Good day, miss. Where are you heading?" "Can you take me to Stargate resort?" Chloe asked, gazing at the yellow taxi behind him. Then she narrowed her eyes as she thought, 'Right now, I need to lay low until all this can die down. Who knows what Rome will do to me if I show my face now.' After the cab driver had opened the door for her, Chloe got in the backseat. Then he gently shut door closed. Staring a
