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 12Although Roman was now the chairman, he didn’t even have an office of his own.As he turned to leave, he brushed past Lena and whispered, “Darling, I need your help. I don’t have an office yet, what should I do?”He spoke softly enough that only she could hear him. But that one word darling echoed through her mind, making her cheeks flush pink.Lena had already heard how his colleagues had mocked and insulted him earlier. They might not have their marriage certificate yet, but in her heart, he was already her husband. And it was only natural for her to stand up for him.Without a moment’s hesitation, she pointed to her own office. “Use mine for now. I’ll make some space for you.”Roman shook his head firmly. “No, that’s not right. We agreed you’re still the company’s main decision-maker. I can’t take your office. I think Mr. Carlos’ office will do just fine.”Lena caught the quick exchange of glances between Mira and Mario when they’d heard Roman was chairman earlier. That reaction to

Chapter: Chapter 11Lena was unwilling to give her first time to Roman so easily.However, she had already put it in black and white on the contract. She would be his from today onward.She wanted to pull away from him, but he held her waist pulling her closer to him.He pulled her to the door pinning her against it before locking it.“Roman, what are you doing? Please don't go too far. You are a married man.” Lena struggled to get away from him.“Lena, no need to worry about that, I’m already in an open marriage. Here, see for yourself.” Roman took out the open marriage certificate again he had just obtained that morning and showed it to Lena.He continued with a grin, “You say you'll be my woman, we can legalize it and put the supplementary term into effect.”After saying that he pulled her back into his arms and resumed kissing her, this time more demanding and fierce than before. He unzipped her dress as they kissed their way to the sofa. He finally got what he wished for. He unhook her bra, wrappi

Chapter: Chapter 10Lena stared at Roman in shock.She had thought she was trying to play tricks on her. After all, how could someone who worked as a garbage collector have such an amount at his disposal?She took a second glance at the details of the transaction to make sure she wasn't mistaken.The name and the time matched, everything was there but she still found it hard to believe.Another question that bugged her was how easily he could transfer such an amount of money.She knows the kind of process she has to undergo to transfer a fraction of the amount.His decisiveness made her question why he had been putting up with the harassment from his colleagues all this while.How come he never did anything to shut them up?That aside, why would he work as a garbage collector if he could easily fork out twenty million dollars without flinching.Lena couldn’t believe what was happening. She felt as if she was in a dream.It was time to wake up.Lena placed her hand on her thigh and pinched herself hard. S

Chapter: Chapter 9When Roman walked into office, Lena leaned back in her executive chair. Her emotion was obviously not right, on closer inspection Roman saw tears in her eyes.Beneath that there was anger and frustration.When she went to Gilbert’s house office, he had actually been having fun with his lover as if he didn't just put her company in shambles.He had been nonchalant towards her anger. Nothing she said got to him. It was obvious that he never planned on investing in the project just because it would be beneficial but to implicate her.She regretted being too trusting and believing his words. If there was a binding contract between them she wouldn't have to stress over things. The liability will be on him but as it is everything was in Lena’s name. Gilbert had left her with just two options, she could either return the money from her pocket before his company go bankrupt or have sex with him as he had hinted earlier in his office.She vowed never to have sex with such a despicable man

Chapter: Chapter 8He paid no heed to their rant. Roman returned to his desk, he felt that there was no need to go back to Lena's office to wait.While waiting, Mario and Mira returned to the office. They had also taken a leave but Mira insisted on returning to the office to show off the things Mario got for her.As soon as Mira walked into the office, Jace rushed up to her and started complaining,“Mira, it's good your back, ask your husband to return our money to us.”“Yes, ask him to give us back our bonus. This idiot talked bad about us to Ms. Henderson. I don't know what he said to her. In the end all our bonuses for the month were cancelled.”Mira couldn't make sense of what was happening. She was overwhelmed with everyone surrounding her and laying complaints.“I detest the idea of calling him my…. husband,” she stammered, angrily. But she was eager to know what happened. After a while someone was able to explain clearly to her what was happening. According to what she was told Roman had report

Chapter: Chapter 7“Ms. Henderson, I do appreciate the offer. Unfortunately no one can talk me out of leaving, there're so many ways to handle the bullying but quitting my job is not one. The only reason I'm here today is to resign.” He said matter-of-factly. “The company has served its purpose, now it's time for me to leave.”Lena was perplexed by Rowan's rejection, she didn't see any reason for him to turn down her offer.A promotion and salary raise was more than enough reason for anyone to stay but Rowan wasn't anyone.He was the boss of the top conglomerate in the world. Only a day's profit from one of his groups could cater for the entire city. Lena was about trying to convince Roman to rethink his decision when her phone rang. It was Gilbert Felix.Lena took her phone and stepped out to take the call.Rowen didn't know what the other party said but Lena's expression became grim as she replied. “Mr. Felix, what do you mean buy. It was because of your assurance that I took on such a risky projec
