The Roman Walter Effect
Roman Walter had been humiliated for three years.
A garbage collector. The company joke. Married to beautiful Mira Donaldson, who grew to despise him.
On their third wedding anniversary, Roman carried a secret. Millions saved. A card that could restore Mira’s stolen company. He was ready to reveal everything.
Then he walked into the office.
Mira’s best friend Mario was on one knee. Diamond ring gleaming. Proposing to Roman’s wife.
She said yes.
In front of everyone, Mira destroyed him. Their marriage was forced, she claimed. He was poor. Worthless. She wanted an open marriage to be with Mario, the vice president’s son.
Roman signed the papers without a word.
Hours later, a Rolls Royce crashed through the parking lot. A stunning woman emerged, calling Roman “boss.” She revealed his true wealth. Millions in gifts prepared for Mira. Luxury cars. Designer everything. A penthouse.
All of it waiting. If Mira had stayed one more day.
Mira refused to believe it. Just tricks from a desperate man.
Back at the office, the mockery continued. Coworkers blamed Roman for lost bonuses. Mira painted herself as his victim.
Then the CEO made an announcement.
Roman Walter was now chairman. Majority shareholder. He’d just invested twenty million dollars.
The room went dead silent.
Every person who’d insulted him now worked for him. Mira stood paralyzed, watching her mistake unfold. Mario’s face drained of color.
Roman surveyed them all with ice-cold eyes.
His revenge had only just begun.

Chapter: Chapter 43“What could possibly be so urgent that you need to leave at this hour?” Lena demanded, her voice edged with frustration. “Or are you trying to disappear because you can’t actually deliver the grand wedding you promised?”She had quietly entertained that suspicion for days. She was feeling insecure, she barely knew anything about her husband and all the answers he had given her were vague.Roman had spoken boldly too boldly, perhaps. Now, with the ceremony only two days away, his sudden departure seemed suspicious.Roman felt a rare flicker of embarrassment. “It’s truly an emergency,” he said earnestly. “I wouldn’t leave unless it was absolutely necessary. Please, you have to believe me.”Lena crossed her arms. “Do whatever you want. It’s not like I can stop you. For all I know, you’re probably going to meet another woman.”Her tone was sharp, but beneath it lay hurt and disappointment.She had begun to see a different side of Roman after the class reunion incident. For a brief moment,

Chapter: Chapter 42“I returned to Dhord City the day before yesterday,” Sylvia reported solemnly. “We’ve received urgent intelligence. The enemy forces along the border have begun mobilizing again. Their movements have caused imminent unrest.”Her expression was unusually grave.Roman’s gaze sharpened instantly.“Once the wedding concludes, I’ll personally deal with it,” he said in a steady tone. “If necessary, I will return to the battlefield.”The calmness in his voice carried unshakable authority.“With you commanding the front lines, Lord Roman, no hostile force would dare advance recklessly,” Sylvia declared with conviction. “Anyone who challenges us will face annihilation.”Roman shifted the topic slightly. “How are the wedding preparations progressing?”He had entrusted Sylvia with the entire arrangement. With only two days remaining, he wanted confirmation that everything was proceeding smoothly.“Please rest assured,” Sylvia answered confidently. “I’ve employed the finest planners and secured t

Chapter: Chapter 40“Of course! I’ll personally arrive with the most expensive cars in my collection,” Jordan declared confidently.Felix let out a light laugh. “If necessary, I could even fly in by helicopter. A few luxury cars are nothing.”Zac smirked. “When it comes to making an entrance, I know exactly how to steal the spotlight.”Harris nodded. “The vehicles in my garage haven’t been driven in ages. I might as well bring them all out.”Sylvia observed their enthusiasm before calmly explaining the deeper reason behind her request.“I wouldn’t normally trouble you over such a matter,” she began. “However, Ms. Jenny, the second daughter of the Henderson family, has openly challenged Lord Roman. She insists on comparing her wedding to his to see whose ceremony will be more magnificent.”She paused briefly, letting the words settle.“Coincidentally, both weddings are scheduled for the same day. Since that’s the case, we must ensure appearances are maintained. There is no possibility that Lord Roman’s we

Chapter: Chapter 39“Please… please don’t kill me! I don’t want to die! Please spare my life!” Timothy cried out, his voice cracking as terror overtook him.“Spare me! I only joked with Lady Lena. I swear I didn’t harm her!” Jonathan shouted desperately, trembling from head to toe.When death loomed directly before them, both men completely lost control of themselves. Their arrogance vanished, replaced by humiliating fear.They had spent years engaging in ruthless acts of intimidation, violence, even bloodshed. Mercy had never been something they extended to others. Yet now, faced with their own end, they collapsed into pitiful figures begging for their lives.Timothy’s mind flooded with regret. If only he had restrained his greed. If only he hadn’t allowed desire to cloud his judgment when it came to Lena. That single mistake had led him here.Jonathan felt equally wronged in his own mind. He had only accompanied Xenia to flaunt his wealth and status. Yes, he harbored improper thoughts toward Lena but

Chapter: Chapter 38“We haven’t decided on the exact venue yet,” Roman said smoothly. “On the wedding day, just gather at the Henderson Residence first. I’ll arrange for a limousine to pick everyone up and take you to the ceremony location.”He intentionally kept the name Jade Dragon Grand Hotel to himself. Revealing it now would ruin the impact he had carefully planned. Some surprises were meant to unfold at the perfect moment.“That sounds great! We’ll wait for you at the Henderson Residence then!”“It’s only a few days away. I'm honestly getting excited already.”“Lena and I go way back. Of course I’ll be there for her big day.”After chatting for a while longer, Roman led Lena and Zoey to the car and drove off.As the vehicle moved steadily down the road, Lena turned toward him with a thoughtful expression.“Roman, are you really certain about inviting all my classmates? Are you confident everything will go smoothly?” she asked.He chuckled softly. “Honey, do you still doubt me?”“It’s not about doub

Chapter: Chapter 37Timothy stood frozen in disbelief the instant the pistol left his grip.One second, the weapon had been firmly in his hand while he laughed arrogantly. The next, it was gone resting effortlessly in Roman’s possession. Timothy’s mind couldn’t even keep up with what had just occurred. There had been no struggle, no warning, no visible effort. It was as if reality itself had skipped a frame.Before anyone else in the room could react, Roman calmly manipulated the firearm with practiced ease. Within moments, the once-threatening pistol was reduced to scattered components, springs, slide, barrel, frame, nothing more than useless scraps of metal lying on the floor.Roman casually flicked the dismantled pieces aside.“You’re far too inexperienced to be playing around with something like this,” he remarked coolly.To someone like Lord Roman, who had faced real battlefields and genuine warfare, a small handgun hardly qualified as a weapon. In his eyes, it was closer to a toy than a threat.Le
