Angelique Brown was overjoyed. Roman had just accepted her invite, and it's something to be happy about. She muttered excitedly, “Thank you Mr Cooper for accepting my invite. You don't know what this means to me.” Quickly, she brought out his phone and put a call to her assistant about convening a press conference. It hadn't rang twice when the assistant's voice was heard. "Good day, Miss Brown! I saw your call.”“Yess! Lord of Xander had been cured. I decided to convene a press conference, and a business party afterwards. Can you do that?” Angelique Brown muttered. The assistant's voice hinted with surprise, “Really ma'am! Wow, I'm so happy right now! When will the press conference come up?”" Tomorrow will be fine! Yeah, we should do it tomorrow!” Angelique replied while nudging at Roman for his response. Roman also nodded his head in response. After some minutes of discussing about the conference, Angelique ended the call, and turned to Roman with a broad smile on her face. A
Everyone glanced at him, and had question looks on their faces. He was trembling as he held the phone. He slumped to the ground, and shrieked in fear, “What have you done? Do you truly call the Head Office? My job has been terminated! I'm jobless.” Roman sneered disparagingly, “You decide to taste my wrath. Losing your job is your decision, you decide not to bend to my will. A Responsible Man doesn't go back on his bet!" He continued with a wicked smile on his face, “If you had gotten on your knees and apologized earlier, you wouldn't have encountered this heartbreaking news." With that being said, he laughed out sinisterly. Suddenly, the environment is polluted by the loud blaring sound coming from the salesman's phone. Trembling vehemently, he answered the call, and a thick masculine voice erupted from the phone. “We hereby announce the devastating news but the management has decided you won't be working for the institute anymore. Your termination letter has been sent to you!
Listening to what the man, Harry Greenwood had sputtered out of his mouth, Roman decided to ignore him, and glanced at Jennifer coldly. "Really! You can't even wait for us to be divorce before courting another man. How despicable of you, Jennifer!"He continued with his heart filled with pain and fury, "For the past three years, I have tried all my best to make you satisfied, but still, you saw me as a loser, a servant in the family. You have the effrontery to bring your new boyfriend home even without getting divorce. You are the one who has made a mistake, so do not dare to insult me anymore otherwise I would teach you guys a lesson." He concluded, his voice was hinted with utmost anger. Jennifer was shocked and rendered speechless. She could see how angry Roman looked. In the past three years, Roman had been so gentle and calm, and never voiced out no matter how pained he was. Although, She and her mother, Jessica Rodriguez, treated him like a servant, he was not angry with it
The woman then put her phone away and flashed Roman a smug grin. “Did you hear that? My son will be here very soon! When he get here, I will have you and the Administrator apologize to me on your knees! I will also give you ten folds of the slap you hit her." “I can't wait for him either! I will make sure he lick my shoes when my son gets here." The woman's husband spewed out with a disdainful snort. Katherine, who had found her confidence back, spoke with arrogance. "Do you hear that? I heard the man is working in the Public Relations, you can imagine how powerful he might be.” “You don't have worry that, Kate! I will be waiting here for her son!" He turned his gaze to the salesman. “Mr. Salesman, won't you apologize to me? Are you also waiting for the woman's son?” Roman muttered. The salesman snarled at Roman, "I don't ever believe you are the owner of the mansion. I am going to investigate on this matter. I promise, you are going to beg for mercy by the time I found out the
CHAPTER ONEIn a dimly lit room, a young man walked into the room, with a bowl of water on his hands. It was none other than Roman Cooper. "Here is it!" Roman dropped the bowl of water in front of his mother-in-law, Jessica Rodriguez. Jessica Rodriguez, his mother-in-law, had requested for a bowl of water to wash her feet. It's a thing she does on a daily basis. It is known as her normal routine. She glanced at him in disdain, and nodded her head in response. Without looking at the bowl, she dipped her hand into the hot water. An agonizing tone filled the room, the water had burnt her hand. Glaring contemptuously at Roman, she yelled at the top of her voice. "You scoundrel! What have you done? You just burnt my hand, why are you so filial?" Shooting him a deadly glance, she demanded.The rage she felt in her system couldn't be measured. She was really pissed at him. Roman, on the other hand, didn't bother to say anything, he stood at her front calmly. His face was emotionless
CHAPTER TWO Jennifer stared at the divorce papers, then looked back at Roman. She was confused; why would Roman , who is nothing but a loser, depending on her family to live, would have the mind to propose a divorce agreement to her. "What is this, Roman? Why have you filed for a divorce?" She snapped angrily at him, "Oh! Are you here to cheat me of some money? You want us to split my worth into two? You have failed, Roman!" She concluded, with an evil smirk bestowed on her face. Roman chuckled, and muttered coldly, "Why don't you look at it? You shouldn't be afraid, you know?" Quickly as Roman concluded, Jennifer glanced through the agreement for the divorce and saw Roman would not receive a penny from her. So, there is no way he would cheat her. Meanwhile, Jessica Rodriguez, who had been writhing in pain all these while, stood up hastily, ignoring the pain she felt in her body. She strode towards Jennifer quickly, and snatched the divorce papers from her, and snorted. "Wha

CHAPTER FOURUpon seeing the gangsters in front of him, the taxi driver was terrified, he was cowering in fear. One of the gangsters came forward, and kicked the car door while he shouted at him. “You fool! Open the door! Don't you see us?” He yelled at the top of his voice. The Taxi Driver trembled the more as he felt like crying at that instance. With hesitation, he opened the car door. He cried vehemently, “Please, don't harm me! I don't have anything worthy you can take from me, please!” With an evil smirk on his face, the gangster threw him out of the car roughly. Roman sneered at the scene displaying in front of him. Quickly, he got down from the car. A man who had a cigarette in his mouth walked out from the gangsters. He was none other than Atkinson, Jennifer's younger brother. He walked closer to Roman, and smirked maliciously, "Where do you think you are going, Roman? Do you think you can escape from getting beaten? Unfortunately, you are going to receive the wors
