Anger spiked in Rome's eyes as he gazed at Big Daddy cutting his steak and then ate the meat off the blade.
Then he focused solely on the knife in his hand for a second before looking back at Big Daddy and saying, "How about option three, get your ass off that chair, obediently follow me out of here, and register yourself at a police station."
Fixing his gaze on Rome's cold eyes, Big Daddy mockingly asked, “What if I refused, what are you going to do about it? Allow that poor little girl to get a bullet to her head along with her mother and grandmother?"
“No. I'm going to make you regret being an idiot for refusing such a great deal,” Rome coldly said, looking at the blade in his hand.

A look of hesitation crossed Catherine's face, and then she mumbled, "I don't know. I was too mad at you for lying to me that it didn't cross my mind to check who the sender was." Without replying to her, Rome walked over to the couch, took out his phone from his coat pocket, and then scrolled through it for a moment. Then his eyes darkened, and he looked at Catherine's phone for a moment before focusing back on his screen. "What is it?" Catherine asked, noticing how serious his face had become. "It was the puppets' master," Rome said, feeling a sense of anger rising in him. "He's not only after me! He's watching you too!" Frowning, Catherine woke
The moment Rome arrived at the staircase, he was met with K, staring at him with a smile on his lip."What excites you this morning?" Rome asked as he jammed his hands in his front pockets."Scar should be the one to tell you! He said he wanted to call, but he didn't want to disturb ma'am and you this early." K gaily uttered. "So he's awaiting you at the casino.""Ok-kay,""I promise you it's good news."With her hand slowly tracing down the stair handrail, Catherine softly smiled at K when their eyes met and asked, "What is the good news?"As she stopped by him, Rome grabbed her by her waist, pull
The moment the conference door opened Elijah, Richard, and William turned their heads to the left, smiling at Catherine as she walked into the office. "Haha, there's my dear niece!" William gaily said as he clapped his hand. Keeping a straight face, Catherine walked up to the table and took her seat at the head of it. Immediately, a frown crossed Charles's face because he realized that his cousin was still above him after all. "Good morning, Uncle William, Elijah, and Richard." Catherine calmly uttered, resting her hands on the desk. Then she clutched her fingers together, looked at Charles, and said, "Good morning, cousin."
I don't want to leave you all hanging and guessing. The truth is, updating this book has become slower because I'm stuck. "Living as a billionaire," is reaching the climax, and I have hit a bit of writer block. I do know the ending. But the problem is having to tie up all the loose ends so that I wouldn't leave you guys with questions and doubts in the end. I do plan to finish this book before the middle of next month, and I will have it updated by tomorrow. I like to inform you all on things, not as a way of making excuses, but so you all can be in the know since you guys are spending your hard earn money on my work. So far I have lost seven thousand readers, so believe me when I tell you all that I'm not withholding updates on purpose. When ideas aren't coming through, you can't force them. Anyways, the will definitely be an update tomorrow. Sincerely, Author Rever.
After reviewing the last document on his desk, Rome sluggishly dropped the pen on the files and rested back in his seat. Then he let out a sigh as he slightly loosened his tie, feeling a bit of tension in his neck. A couple of minutes when by in silence. Then his office door suddenly opened and K walked in with Scar. Remaining in his current position, Rome shut his eyes and asked, "What is it?" "Well, I found out where Grey Is." Scar said. It took a moment. Then Rome woke from his seat, grabbed his coat off the rack, and wore it. After shoving his phone into his coat pocket, he wa
"Please, turn off the light." Rome moaned, covering his head with the blanket as he folded himself into a ball.Frowning, Catherine tied the curtain and then approached the bed, pulling the sheet off Rome's head.With his eyelid squeezed shut, he whispered, "Babe, no...""Seriously, it is almost ten o'clock, and we both need to go to work," Catherine mumbled, frowning when he slowly opened one of his eyes to look at her.Hearing the annoyance in Catherine's tone, Rome grabbed her wrist and pulled her onto the bed.Then he hugged onto her body tightly and mumbled, “Can we just stay home today?""Are you still upset about Grey not knowing who the puppets' master is?" Catherine softly intoned, gazing into his dull eyes."I have never felt so weak and vulnerable in my life before, and knowing that I have you mess up in all of this, is my biggest fear, not being able to keep you safe and shield you in it all...""Hon, you know
The door to the security room opened, and Thomas turned his gaze toward the doorway, swallowing hard as he stared at Rome, Brook, and Blaze.“Thomas, we need to have a chat,” Rome said, staring at the screens in the room for a moment.Then he walked over to a seat, sat down, and crossed his leg over the other while gazing Thomas dead in his eyes.“What do you want to talk to me about, sir?” Thomas mumbled, dragging his gaze to the floor.“I need to view the security footages of the hallway in the east wing from the day my wife's dress got brought into this house to the time of my father's welcome back party,” Rome said with his eyes still focus on Thomas.It immediately became silent between both men, and for a while, Thomas didn’t utter a word which made Rome a bit suspicious of him.“I’m really not in the mood to keep repeating myself, so can we speed this up, Thomas?” Rome coldly
Once Mr. Orlando had brought the car to a stop, K rushed out and opened the vehicle’s back door.“Thanks,” Rome said as he stepped out of the car.Then he waited for no one and headed directly into the enormous mansion before him.“Good day, young master.” Butler Hobson said as he gazed at Rome with a friendly smile on his face.“A pleasant day to you too,” Rome hastily replied before heading upstairs with K just a few steps behind him.When Rome got to a door at the west end of the hall, he paused for a moment, took in a deep breath, sigh, then knocked on the door.
