Roman had imagined this day for three whole years.It was meant to be grand. He wanted something small, a moment that belonged just to the both of them.He couldn't help imagining how Mira’s brows would knit when she was surprised. The pause before she smiled, the softness that would return to her eyes once she realized he had never stopped striving for her, for the company, for the life that had been taken from her piece by piece.The American Express card laid in the inside pocket of his worn uniform jacket. Black. Minimal. Worth more than it looked. It had cost him everything, sleepless nights, pride, years of swallowing insults without lifting his head. With it, Mira could buy back the shares her uncle had seized when he pushed her out of the CEO’s office and reduced her to a normal employee in the company that belonged to her dad. Being less educated in this field, he hired another CEO to take charge while he ruled from the background. Roman wanted to give it to her today.T

So to her all the time they had spent together was a nightmare.Every love he had for her vanished instantly. The sound of a revving engine rolled down the street before Roman could speak again.A yellow Ferrari drove in and stopped in front of Mira, drawing the attention of people nearby. The door of the driver's seat swung open and Mario climbed out, dressed in designer clothes, shoes and accessories. Mario was the son of the vice president of their company. Rich, spoiled and lousy. Mario walked toward them with the pride of someone who thought that everyone else was beneath him.He came forward and draped his hand over Mira’s waist. “Brother, thanks for keeping my lady company these past few years! I’ll take it from here. From now on she’s with me.”“Thanks too for relieving me of a futile load.” He smiled. Both Mira and Mario clenched at his cold words. Speechless. “Don’t worry, I’ll treat her like a queen.” The only word that Mario could think of. Roman smirked. “Of cours

After Camille had driven off, the threat Mira felt vanished instantly, she became bold again.She wrapped her arm around Mario, a lot had happened in just a few hours but she refused to believe that any of it was true, after all she would live in regret for the rest of her life.But one thing was certain, she realized that she barely knew her Roman. She tried to suppress her unease.She was still in shock as her arms were wrapped around Mario who was also in deep thought.He also refused to believe that the man that had always been beneath him would amount to anything good.“Mario, all those things are fake right? Does he have to go as far as putting up a show just to get me back. Tsk.. tsk..tsk…. And that woman she hired nearly scared me to death.”“If he really wants me back, does he think asking someone to threaten me would work?”Mario listened quietly as Mira spoke, to him everything finally made sense. How could a low life like Roman who was a mere garbage collector afford any o

“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

When 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
