A Billionaire In Disguise

Chapter Eighty-Nine

A feeling of rage and uncertainty coursed through Rome as he darted his eyes around the hotel room,

working his brain hard.

Suddenly, the door opened, and Rome drew his attention away from the window, focusing his gaze on

K.

“You have been in here for a while now, and I thought I should check up on you,” K said with a touch of

worry in his eyes as he shut the door.

“This is going to be the death of me if she doesn't return to me safely,” Rome mumbled, burying his

face in his hand.

The presence of fear intensified in him, and he couldn't shake off the feeling.

Walking further into the room, K kept his gaze fixed on Rome as he asked, “Do you believe that Axel

will keep his word? From Charles and Chloe's experience, he doesn't seem like a trustworthy person."

“I know that, K!" Rome said, withdrawing his face from his palm.

There was a brief pause. Then K sadly gazed at Rome and mumbled, “So what now?”

It became awfully silent as Rome glared at K, wondering what to do with the entire situation.

After focusing on his thoughts for a while, he frowned and mumbled, “I am vulnerable."

Caressing his index finger against his lip, Rome took a long look at K. Then he paused for a moment

and said, “But, I am not the only one who is exposed at this moment!"

For a while, K didn't speak as he tried to understand what Rome was getting at. After a couple of

seconds of no luck, he said, “I don't understand, boss."

"If Axel needs me away from my father, then he has to have eyes on me at all times and on my father

at the same time!" Rome mumbled, still trying to put the pieces of the puzzles together.

Slowly, a smirk crept on K's lips, and he mumbled, "That means his men will be nearby."

"Exactly! If my assumption is right, we will be watched by his men all night." Rome said. "I need you to

get access to the hotel security room and monitor the CCTV footage. I need to know who his men are,

and how many are there."

"Yes, boss!"

"Hand me your phone!"

Without wasting a second, K pulled his phone out of his pocket and gave it to Rome.

After finding Mr. Ford's number in K's contact, Rome dialed it and waited impatiently.

Pacing back and forth in the living room, Mr. Ford's eyes bore worry in them as he stared at Mr. Miller,

sitting on the couch with his body trembling and raw fear in his expression.

Suddenly his phone buzzed in his hand and he hastily answered the call.

"Dad," Rome calmly said, fighting against his emotions.

"Rome, what am I hearing? Catherine has been kidnapped!" Mr. Ford's uttered, his voice shaking with

panic.

A frown flickered across Rome's forehead and his eyes glowed with anger as he said, "We can discuss

that later! Right now, I need you to ask Bill if there's any suspicious vehicle parking around the

mansion, or if any skeptical person is watching the house."

"Okay, and if there is?" Mr. Ford said, locking eyes with Mr. Miller's concerned gaze.

"Just keep eyes on them and do nothing else. If they move, get someone to track them secretly. But do

not approach and do not attack them!"

"Rome, maybe…"

"Dad, that freak has my wife, and until I can figure out how to get her out of his grip safely, I need

everyone to stand still! Till I give the command to move!"

"I got it, son. I got it."

Standing from the chair, Mr. Miller walked over to Mr. Ford and said, "What's going on? Will Catherine

be okay? Is Rome coming home?"

Immediately, Rome's heart sank when he heard his father's trembling voice. Then he softly sighed and

said, "No, dad. I am not going to come home just yet."

"He isn't coming home tonight. But he will." Mr. Ford passed on the message, staring into Mr. Miller's

wet eyes.

For a moment, the line remained silent. Then Mr. Ford drew a shaky breath and said, "I'm sorry…"

"We can talk after I get my wife back!" Rome said, feeling drunk with rage.

"Okay, I will get Bill and the others to follow your command."

"Thanks."

After ending the call with his father, Rome dialed Brook's number, and instantly, his call got answered.

"Boss!...Ma'am…" Brook's deep voice filled with rage echoed from the phone speaker.

"I'm at 'Sky range hotel. Send four of our best men here, and make them look like a million bucks. I

need them to fit the image of the regular customers at this hotel and blend in." Rome said.

"Okay, boss. I will be on that immediately."

"Tell them to act casual and make sure that they don't have eyes on them when they are coming to

suite 606."

"Got it, boss."

The instant Rome ended the call with Brook, he searched for Scar's number and dialed it.

"Boss, you are not serious about leaving madam in that lunatic care." Scar immediately said from the

other end of the line.

"You alone… I need you alone to track down Axel. When you find him, stand still and call for your next

command. Got it?" Rome said.

"Yes, boss. I'm on it."

"Good."

Watching Rome focus on his phone scream for a while, K couldn't help smiling softly, feeling a sense of

hope awakening in him.

"Blaze, track down Richard and inform me when you find that bastard location!" Rome said with the

phone pressed against his ear.

"I am on it, boss!" Blaze hastily uttered from the other side of the call. "About madam…"

"I got it covered. Just find me, Richard."

"I understand, boss!"

After ending the call, Rome let out a heavy sigh and rubbed his palm against his face. Then he

worriedly looked at K and mumbled, "What am I doing?"

"I have faith in you, boss. If anyone can bring madam home safely, and takedown Axel, it's you."

Time drifted by slowly, and at eight on the dot, there was a knock on the suite door.

Immediately, K's eyes darkened as he stared at the door and said, "I will get it."

Then he carefully approached the door and after opening it, his expression smoothened as he

mumbled, "Oh, great. It's Tan, Jon, Hazard, and Damon."

“Boss, we are here like you ask,” Tan said as he and the other three walked into the room. Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.

Shutting the door behind him, K walked further into the room, sat down on the chair.

When Rome raised his eyes to look at his men, his expression became cold and dark as he said, "I

need you guys to listen to me carefully and follow my order to the letter. Can you do that?"

"Yes, boss!" Hazard said as he nodded along with the three men.
