After ending the call with his father, Rome walked over to Catherine. Then he leaned towards her ear, and whispered, “I got to leave. Will you be okay here?”
Smiling faintly, she looked him in his eyes and slightly nodded her head.
After staring at her for a moment, Rome stood up straight and left the dining room.
A few minutes later, he reached the spot where he and Mr. Orlando usually meets up.
A green Bugatti was parked on the side of the road, and he walked over to it, opened the passenger door, and got in.
“Good morning, young master.” Mr. Orlando said as he gazed at him.
“Morning,” Rome mumbled, putting on his seat belt.
After he got done, Mr. Orlando put the car in gear and drove off.
“Do you know what surprise my father has for me?” Rome mumbled as he focused on the windshield.
“I'm sorry, young master, but I don't.” Mr. Orlando said, eyeing Rome for a second before focusing on the road.

After the first light of a new day beamed into the room, Catherine brushed her hand on Rome's side of the bed, and when she didn't feel him, she slowly raised her eyelids, and sleepy stared at his board back.“Is everything okay? Why are you up so early?” Catherine asked, yawning as she squeezed her eyelids.When Rome turned around, he faintly smiled and said, “Morning, wife. I need to take this call. I will be with you in a second.”After his remark, Rome gazed back at his phone, and the moment he answered the call, he had Blaze say, “Boss, we have done our investigation on the Johnson family, and we have the results.”“Hold on. I'm on my way.” Rome said.After ending the call, he turned and gazed at Catherine who had been staring at him during the entire call.“I got to go,” Rome uttered.“I heard,” Catherine mumbled.Seeing the look of disappointment in
At six o'clock, Rome arrived at the Barlow mansion, and as he was about to head upstairs, he froze. Then his lips curved in a smile as he adorably stared at his wife walking down the stairs, dressed in an elegant black sleeveless dress, and he couldn't take his eyes off her. Suddenly, his expression hardened, and his eyes grew cold when he saw Chloe a few steps behind his wife. When Catherine heard the sound of her cousin's heels, she stopped and turned around to stare at Chloe.
By eleven o’clock, Catherine and Rome arrived home, and she was all smiles as she got out of the car.When Rome got down from the vehicle and approached her, Catherine took his left hand and rested it on her waist. Then she did the same with his right.Wrapped in the comfort of his arms, she tiptoed to meet his lips, and with her heart beating wildly, she passionately kissed him.Afterward, Catherine whispered into his ear, “Thank you for an amazing night.”As he gazed into her gentle eyes, he replied with a soft smile, feeling amazed by how much his heart was pounding just by the sight of her.A few minutes later, Catherine and Rome entered the house, and they both were in such a good mood that it felt like nothing could ruin their joy.But as they walked past the living room, Madam Rosey’s voice echoed into the hallway, “Catherine, Rome, come in here.”The smile on Catherine's lips slo
Every effort that Madam Rosey didn't make for Catherine and Rome's wedding, she was making them for Chloe and Dash.So several days before Chloe's big day, she planned a welcome party, inviting the top-notch in the business and the wealthiest of the wealthy with the hope that this dining night would boast their family reputations.Those that she invited were people that she wanted so desperately to attend the wedding, and the welcome party was meant to see who all planned to come to the wedding ceremony which was a few days ahead.Early the morning of the welcome party, Rome raised his lashes as the sunlight shone in his face, and he saw Catherine pacing back and forth.When she noticed that he was awake, she took a moment to calm down and asked, “Did you order our clothes for tonight?”Since she had been busy with the company and work, Rome offered to take the burden off her and be the one to purchase their clothing for the party.
For a while, Catherine and Rome spent their time interacting with guests that approached them because Catherine wasn't really excited to go over to her family, and Rome knew that.So he stood by her side and allowed her to be the one to have conversations with people that came up to them even though he knew that they wanted to pay their respects to him.The news about Mr. Ford turning over everything he owned to Rome had spread like wildfire in the upper cycle.Others now respected him not because he was Mr. Ford's heir, but because he was Rome Ford, the richest man in the entire country and beyond.Also, knowing how much Rome meant to his father only added fear to the respect they all had for him, and the only reason all these influential people turned out for the party was that they knew he was going to be there.As Catherine was having small talk with another guest, she unintentionally looked her father in the eye, and he looked disappoint
Time moved at a natural pace, and it was finally the day of Chloe's wedding.That morning, a loud banged on the door caused Catherine to jump out of her sleep.Then she looked at Rome, and at that moment his eyelids rose and their eyes locked.“Catherine!” Edward's voice echoed from outside the room.Knowing that it was her father at the door, Catherine was about to rush out of the bed when Rome grabbed her wrist, causing her to stop and look at him.“Do you still feel the same way that you felt at the party?” Rome asked with his eyes fixed on hers.Although she was confused for a moment, Catherine finally understood the question, and she answered, “Yes, I don't want to go to the wedding.”“Good. Then let me answer the door.” Rome calmly said.Nodding slightly, Catherine smiled and mumbled, “Okay,”Afterward, Rome left the bed and walked to the door. Then he ope
After the reporters had read the document they got from an unknown number, the hall became noisy pretty fast.The flashes from the reporters' cameras kept going off and on, and different journalists from several media didn't waste any time broadcasting the news live.For a moment Rome's attention was on Catherine.Then his focus got drawn to the television when the news about Chloe's wedding popped on the screen.It didn't take long for Catherine to focus on the TV too and her brows pulled together in a frown as she mumbled, “Isn't that Chloe's wedding venue?What's going on?”But Rome kept silent as he watched with a look of satisfaction in his eyes.The commotion in
After Rome drove the vehicle into the yard, it didn't take long for the limousines to enter into the fence.Once he had brought the car to a stop, he remained seated and so did Catherine as they listened to the loud noise of talking and mumbling from her family.Both of them didn't leave the vehicle until everyone had gone into the house.After a few minutes had weny by, Rome reached for the door handle. But Catherine grabbed his arm and mumbled, “Not yet.”So he let go of the handle and both of them sat, listening to the silence in the car.Then after a minute or two had passed, Catherine took in a deep breath and said, “I'm ready to face the noise.”The living room was in chaos as everyone tried to speak at the same time, and when Mr. Barlow had had enough of it, he screamed, “Everyone shut up!”It took a few seconds, but the room finally got quiet, and at that moment, Catherine and Rome wal
