Chapter 3 Life of Rome

CHAPTER THREE

ROME'S POV

When you have a life like mine, not so many things interest you and grab your attention like the little girl with dark hair.

I was born into a family where you're taught that emotions make you weak and they're like a switch so you have to turn them off at all times. I had a twin brother and a sister. People can hardly tell my brother and I apart, not even my family can except my mother, the breathtaking Rowena Elaine Davis. I guess it's maternal instinct or something like that. Romeo, my twin brother, had facial hair while I didn't. I was clean shaven. At least for now. I was 2 minutes older, so I'm the older one. I took over the family business 10 years ago when I was 23 years old. I'm 33 now and at the top of my game. I was a multi billionaire. Owned properties everywhere you could think of. Made more money than I can count and could ever need.

I needed nothing, especially not a whiny whore like Freya Isla Montgomery being forced down my throat. I wasn't a man to be bossed around or told what to do and I made that known by refusing to marry her to fester a stronger bond between her father's company, Stone Incorporated and ours Davis Industries. I had enough, my company was doing good and I hated the sight of Freya, she irritated me like hell.

Romeo on the other hand, seemed taken by the tramp, not my problem. So, I helped him out and instead passed her on to him. So now, Freya is betrothed to my twin but still wants me. Pathetic.

When Romeo speaks about her, it's like he sees someone else and not the blond haired whore I know. But then again, one man's meat is another man's poison. Different strokes for different folks.

I was supposed to have a meeting by 12 at a restaurant with a client but I canceled because Romeo found out this morning that his precious Freya was a cheat. Wow, I'm not surprised. He apparently walked in on her with the young son of that famous cafe owner. Typical.

So, I canceled my meeting to actually see what the boy in question looked like and to see how well their business was doing. Suzy, my secretary sent me a photograph and a little information about him.

27 years old, blond hair, blue eyes, cocky, a playboy and dating his worker and sleeping with her best friend. Unprofessional.

He would run whatever they've achieved down the ground if he continues like this.

I walked into the shop and saw the Audrey girl. I was stunned by her beauty for a while. Dark hair, pink lips, dark eyebrows. She was gorgeous. But unfortunately had poor taste to be dating trash like Joseph Coleman, I was disappointed, she could aim better. I got it together, I was Rome fucking Davis, I've seen hotter women than her. I wasn't going to get swooned by her charms.

She came off as rather mouthy and rude, I was initially angry but it later turned into amusement. She was a spitfire. I was later attended to by he co worker, who was more interested in flashing her cleavage than working. Cheap.

The one who I came to see didn't show himself, I'd just have to let Romeo deal with his issue, I had better things to do.

Audrey bumped into me on her way out, she wasn't looking but was focused on fixing her buttons. This is why I don't tolerate workplace romance, it's unprofessional and does not speak well of a business.

Raising her head, she looked disheveled, smeared lipstick and messed up hair. Even a blind man can tell what went down. How disappointing.

I felt a pang of jealousy and anger but before I could continue the conversation Suzy called.

"Hello Sir, you have to hurry back now sir"

"Is something wrong suzy?"

"Yes sir, your brother is causing a commotion in the office right now, and he's drunk"

"Shit, I'm on my way". I hung up and started walking away, forgetting the dark haired girlfriend standing there awkwardly.

"Is everything okay?" she asked carefully

I told her everything was fine, and told her to fix her appearance. People might think this is a whore house with how she looks right now.

I left for the office and got there in no time.

"Where is Rome, you fucking idiots"

"Do you know who I am?, I will crush you all with just a phone call and leave you and your families destitute"

"What the hell is happening in my company Romeo?"
