A Billionaire In Disguise novel Chapter 191

"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 that I'm a full-grown woman, right?"

"Yeah, but you are my woman, and not being able to protect you...protect us, makes me feel like I'm failing."

Resting her palm on Rome's cheek, Catherine slowly stroked his skin and whispered, "You are only human, after all, and there's only so much that you can do."

Without uttering another word, Rome buried his face into Catherine's chest, squeezing her gently in his arms, and whispered, "I love you so much."

A sudden knock on the bedroom door caused Rome to loosen his grip on Catherine. Then he turned his gaze to the door and calmly uttered, "Who's there?"

"Sorry to disturb you, sir, but Blake and Brook are here to see you." Nora's voice echoed in the room, causing Rome to sigh heavily.

A while later, Rome walked into the living room, and when Brook saw that he had on sweatpants and a sleeveless t-shirt, he gave in to his curiosity and asked, "Are you not going to work today, Boss?"

"Let's take this meeting to the study," Rome said, walking away without waiting on his men.

But Brook and Blaze were on his tail, and after they arrived in the study, Brook shut the door.

"It's safe to talk now since this room is soundproof," Rome mumbled as he took a seat on the luxurious leather couch.

A look of confusion settled on Brook's face. Then his lips suddenly curved into an "O" shape as he stared wide-eyed at Rome.

"Is there a spy in the house?" Brook finally blurted out, getting over his shock.

"Unfortunately, yes," Rome mumbled in annoyance. "Only Catherine and I... well, and you guys know for now."

"Do you have an idea of who the person is?"

"So far, we think it could be any of our servants."

"The dress!" Blaze shouted the moment a sudden thought clicked to his mind.

With a blank expression on his face, Rome drew a deep breath and said, "Yeah, I know. A worker must have linked the photo of Catherine's dress to this so-called puppets' master."

"No!" Blake mumbled. "No, I meant, 'yes.' But that is not all I wanted to say. Security cameras. Where are the footages of the CCTV cameras from the day ma'am dress arrived into the mansion to the time of the party?"

"So much had happened since the day of the party that I literally forgot that my home has cameras everywhere, except for our bedroom, and to be honest, I didn't expect a mole in my home so a thought like this didn't cross my mind."

"The head of security should be..."

"Thomas!"

The study fell silent for a second as Blake rubbed his chin while darting his eyes towards Rome and then at Brook.

Finally, he dropped his hand to his side and then blurted out, "If Thomas did notice some suspicious happenings in the house, he would have reported it to you, right?"

"I mean, that's what I pay him for, so yeah," Rome said, clenching his brows. "Wait, are you suspecting Thomas to be the mole?"

"I'm not certain, but it seems possible, especially if he's not reporting things that should get notified to you."

"It seems possible. But what if the was nothing suspicious for Thomas to report."

When Blaze raised a brow, Rome slightly frowned and said, "There are three servants who have access to Catherine's and I's bedroom."
