Chapter Thirty-One

All four cousins gazed at each other, not wanting to be the first to speak. But that only left the board members mumbling angrily to themselves. Finally, when another few minutes had gone by in silence, one of the board members stood up and said in annoyance, “You four are not serious! I have more important things to do than this!” “Like what? Visit a brothel. You know a man who has been married for thirty years should be careful of the places he goes.” Chloe mumbled, casually inspecting her nails. “Wh-at! What nonsense are you talking about!” “All I'm saying is that people may assume that you are unfaithful to the minister of justice only daughter if you continue going to these places.” “Stop talking nonsense!” “Leave if it's truly a lie and bear the consequences later. Or sit down and listen

Chapter Thirty-Two

The moment the elevator hit the top floor and its door opened, Rome walked into the corridor along with Mr. Orlando and K. Then he faced his father and said, “You know what to do, right?” “Yeah. But can you handle this end?” Mr. Ford asked with worry in his expression. “Father, I…” “Rome, inside that conference hall, are the top beasts in the business industry, and if you can't tame them, you wouldn't earn their submission.”  “Have a little faith in me. I'm your son after all.” As his expression relaxed, Mr. Ford rested his palm on Rome’s cheek, patted it, and said, “You have my full trust, son. I'm proud of you.” Afterward, he drew his hand to his side and the bodyguard pressed button one. Then the elevator door closed. “Let's go,” Rome mumbled, glancing at Mr. Orlando. The conference room was quiet as everyone anxiously waited, expecting Mr. Ford to walk into the room at any minute.  But when

Chapter Thirty-Three

“Ding”  The elevator door opened on the eighth floor, and Mr. Ford stepped into the corridor with his bodyguards.  ‘Is it the eighth or the ninth floor that Rome said Jeff works at?’ Mr. Ford thought as he walked down the hallway, feeling a bit confused. After walking a bit further, he spotted a lady seated at the end of the hall, and he marched straight to the desk, stopped, and gave her a half-smile. “Mr. Ford,” She mumbled, hastily standing to her feet. “No need for formality.” Mr. Ford said, gently tapping his fingers on the desk. Giving a nervous smile, she sat back down and asked, “How can I help you?” “Is your boss here?” Mr. Ford asked with a relaxed expression. “No, sir Jeff is in a board meeting. But I can give him a call to inform him of your presence.” A feeling of ease took over Mr. Ford as he thought, ‘I got the number right.’ Then he focused his gaze on her name tag and said, “Th

Chapter Thirty-Four

When Catherine got home by seven o'clock, she walked into the living room and froze as she stared at the faces of everyone in the room. Then her gaze rested on Rome, sitting alone on one of the couches, and when their eyes met, he faintly smiled at her. Without any hesitation, she walked politely to the chair and sat down beside him. “What is this about? Did you do something wrong?” Catherine whispered with worry in her eyes. “This is not about me. I have been at the construction site all day and when I got home, everyone was seated here, so I did the same.” Rome mumbled, resting his palm over the back of her hand. “Oh. Then why are we having a meeting?” “I'm afraid that if I asked, I might get you and me in trouble. So I have kept my silence since I arrived.” “Smart.” Both of them shared a brief smile before focusing on the others. Finally, after waiting for a while, Chloe, Charles, Jeff, and Richard entered th

Chapter Thirty-Five

The first golden light of dawn sneaked into the room, beaming on Rome's face. Refusing to open his eyes, he gently rubbed his eyelid and laid still for a while before slowly raising them, and for about five minutes, he didn't blink as he stared at the ceiling. Then he swayed his focus on Catherine's face and softly smiled.  After a few minutes had gone by, he threw the blanket off him, got out of bed, and headed for the shower. The morning felt peaceful when Rome stepped out of the room minutes later.  Then he strolled down the hallway, heading for the living room.  However, the moment he entered the living room and his gaze rested on Chloe, she rolled her eyes, and he knew his morning was about to get ruined. “Good morning, sister-in-law,” Rome mumbled, forcing a smile on his lips. “Don't talk to me!” Chloe rudely said with a frown. Without uttering another word, Rome turned around to leave, but

Chapter Thirty-Six

It suddenly became quiet in the car as Rome glanced at Catherine, then at his phone. For a moment, she waited patiently on him before asking, “Did you hear me?” “Umm, hold that thought for a second. I got to reply to this text quickly. It's from my dad.” Rome mumbled, gazing at the browser on his phone. Then he hastily typed in the search box, “The nearest construction site,” and clicked the search icon. After gazing at the screen for a while, he stared back at Catherine and asked, “What were you saying?” “I was asking about the location of your job site,” Catherine mumbled, keeping her eyes fixed on the road. “It's on the Bell Route.”  “Oh, okay.” When a few minutes had gone by, Catherine sighed heavily and said, “I'm such a terrible wife.” “Why would you say that?” Rome gently asked, fixing his eyes on her. “Well, what kind of wife doesn't know her husband's workplace?” “Well, I didn't tel

Please! Please, have a seat.” Hanson said, walking from behind his desk.As he watched Rome sit down on the couch, he grinned at him and said, “I was shocked to get a call from Mr. Orlando.”When he got only silence from Rome, he widened his smile and stated, “At first, I thought he was calling to give details about the next meeting, but when I heard that you wanted to see me, I was more shocked.&r

The daylight faded naturally, and after having a ten-course meal made by the famous chef, ‘Ramsey’ from a prestigious five-star restaurant, Rome got on a bus and stopped at the bus stop in front of DreamTeam company by six o'clock.When he got to Catherine’s office, she took one look at him, smiled, and said, “You are here.”Then she grabbed her bag, walked over to Rome, and held onto his arm.“Shall we?” Catherine mumbled, lifting her head to meet his gaze.“We shall,” Rome replied with his eyes focused on hers.Then they shared a brief laugh before heading out of her office.A moment later, they were seated in Catherine's vehicle, and after putting the car in gear, she gazed at Rome and asked, “Should we stop at a restaurant and grab a bite?”“But then you would be full when you get home, and Madam Rosey will scold you if you refuse dinner with the family.&rdquo

Chapter Thirty-Nine

Tracing her fingers down Rome's chest, Catherine slowly opened her eyes. Then her lips curved into a smile as she stared up at his face. Suddenly, he raised his eyelids and warmly smiled while focusing his gaze solely on her. Both of them didn't utter a word for a while as they stared into each other's eyes.  “Morning, wife.” Rome finally whispered, blinking slowly as he tried to wake up fully. When Catherine was about to reply, his ringtone interrupted her, and she withdrew from Rome’s arm and sat up, resting her feet on the cold tiles. For a moment, he gazed at her back. Then he reached for his phone and answered the call. “It's seven,” Rome mumbled, rubbing his eyes as he sat up. “And it's also the weekend.” Mr. Ford's voice echoed into his ear. “I know. Alright, I'm on my way.” “Good, Orlando is waiting on you.” After ending the call, he stared at Cathrine. Then drew towards her and hugged her f

Chapter Forty

Without even realizing it, the morning had become noon, and Rome was still stuck on trimming the brushes to perfection. The afternoon sun was hot, and his body was drained with his sweat. But he kept going, and every now and then he would gaze at Catherine, standing a few steps away from him with a water bottle and towel in her hand. “I can't believe she is actually in that blazing heat with him.” Richard said, taking a sip of his tropical juice. Gazing away from the umbrella covering her, Chloe pulled down her shade off her face, stared at the pool before glaring at Rome and Catherine a few distances away from the pool yard. Then she rolled her eyes and said, “That right there is the definition of
