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.
"What is written in the divorce papers? The foolish boy would love to request half of the Rodriguez Family's fortune?"
She took a quick look, and instantly, her expression softened, and she bursted into laughter.
"What a lovely day for me!" She gushed happily and glanced at Roman, "I have known you to be a foolish man, but you prove me wrong, boy! Unknowingly, you just filled my heart with joy!"
Roman, on the other hand, stared at Jessica Rodriguez disgustingly. He never expected her to be this shameless. Look at how happy she is about the divorce.
Well, that's what she had wanted, so it's improper for her not to rejoice the good news.
Glancing at her daughter, Jennifer, she muttered in delight, "What are you waiting for? Sign the fuckin document, and be out of this useless relationship!"
Knowing fully well that was what her mother had always wanted, she looked enraged, not at her mother but Roman.
She felt humiliated by Roman's antics. She was a CEO and a successful woman at that whilst He is just a loser, and a servant in their house.
She should be the one filing for a divorce, and not the other way round.
Jennifer sneered, "You really want a divorce, right?" With that being said, she tore the divorce papers into pieces, and threw them up in the air.
"You want to embarrass me in front of my family, right? Well, it is impossible! You have failed, Roman!" She bellowed.
Gasps coming from Jessica Rodriguez, she screamed angrily at her, "Jennifer, What have you done? You just deny the opportunity to leave the futile and useless relationship! What has come over you, Jenny?"
Jennifer smiled at her Mother's angry yell, "Mother, you don't have to worry about anything! I have everything under control. Today, I will be abandoning the useless man!" She comforted her Mother, whose face was covered in frowns and rage.
Jessica didn't fully understand what her daughter had said, she only nodded her head. Jennifer took out another paper from her bag.
It was another divorce papers! She also had planned to divorce Roman too, just only he was faster than her.
She began to say, "Roman, this is a divorce agreement!” She smirked ingratiatingly, "I have the thought of giving you some money as compensation but now that you are so forward and ungrateful, I think that wouldn't be happening. You won't receive a penny from me!" She sneered at him contemptuously.
Roman smiled, and took the divorce papers from her, then penned down his signature on it before giving it back to Jennifer. He didn't feign any hesitation to sign the paper.
Obviously, Jennifer had hoped he begged for forgiveness, and then she would have the opportunity to humiliate Roman, but she was betrayed by her thought.
Roman had calmly signed the papers, and she felt a wave of anger rushed through her veins.
She growled out furiously, "You punk, how dare you smile while signing the papers? Shouldn't you beg for forgiveness? How dare you not give an iota of respect to me and my family? Are you trying to mock us?"
She continued, "Aren't you afraid you will die of hunger without the Rodriguez Family? You should get on your knees, and beg for forgiveness right away!"
Jessica Rodriguez piped in furiously, "Isabella, haven't I told you how ungrateful your husband was? He is full of pride and evil! A despicable man!"
Roman just stared at them with a disdainful smile, and said to them, "It's just so shameful that you are ignorant of my value. Rodriguez's Family wouldn't have been here if it wasn't for me! Everything the Rodriguez's Family possessed and acquired are all mine, yet you are ungrateful. You treat me like a servant, and look down on me like a miscreant, so shameful!"
Jennifer found Roman's word as a joke, and couldn't help but burst into an uncontrollable laughter.
Her face turned cold instantly, and sneered at him. "Are you really out of your mind, Roman? How are you the one behind the Rodriguez's Family's fortune? I'm the CEO of the Rodriguez's Family Business, and I worked hard, and earned everything for the Rodriguezs. So, how come you are the one helping us? Besides, I've never seen you step into the family's company before."
Roman only stared at her in contempt, he didn't want to explain anything to them, and decided to take his leave.
He was about to walk through them when Jennifer prevented him from moving further. She dragged him back and held his clothes tightly.
"Where do you think you are going, Roman? You must apologize to me and my family, or else you will have no choice but to be beaten to death." She muttered angrily, her eyes glaring dangerously at him.
Roman looked at her coldly, and stared at her hands on his clothes. "You should leave my clothes alone. I don't have anything to do with the Rodriguez's Family anymore."
Jennifer didn't bother to respond back at him, and she held the clothes tighter.
Without giving any more warning, Roman pushed her slightly away from him. "Don't dare to stop me! We don't have anything in common anymore!" He spewed out angrily at her.
At this time, the man who came back with Jennifer stood out, "Why do you have to behave like an animal? Your rude and animalistic behavior had made me mad! Women are fragile and are supposed to be treated like an egg! You should apologize for your rude behavior, or else you won't be leaving out of here in whole!" He muttered disparagingly, glaring contemptuously at Roman.
Looking at the strange man in front of him, he laughed out hard, and then questioned, "And who are you to tell me what I'm going to do? Shouldn't you mind your business?"
The man smirked proudly, and adjusted his tie properly on his neck, "I'm Harry Greenwood, the CEO of the Greenwood's Group. And also, as from today, I will be the boyfriend of Jennifer since you guys are now divorced.
I won't allow a nonsensical man to humiliate my girlfriend for no reason. You shouldn't show animalistic behavior just because you guys have been divorced.” He muttered and then continued, "Therefore, get down on your knees and apologize to my girlfriend, and her family!"
CHAPTER THREEListening 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
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
CHAPTER FIVEAtkinson was astounded. The lady was here for another thing. But what made him look marveled was when the lady pointed at Roman. Referring to Roman as Mr Cooper. He flashed out a smile, “You've really made a mistake, Miss! The Man over here is just the Rodriguez live-in son-in-law. He doesn't deserve this respect you are giving to him.”He continued, “His name is Roman and only lives on his wife's wealth. Don't you see how useless he is. He doesn't deserve any of the respect you are giving him.” Glaring at Roman maliciously, he muttered. The lady didn't give a response. She really thought He doesn't deserve to know who Roman was. She turned to the men behind her, and commanded in an angry tone. “What are you guys waiting for? Teach all of them a lesson they would never forget.”Atkinson and his underlings were terrified. Staring fearful at the men in black suits, Atkinson doesn't have the urge to bring out his gun and shoot at them. They are definitely going to overpo
CHAPTER SIXAfter listening to Jennifer's raging words, he gave out an exasperated sigh. He didn't want to argue anything with her, he just cut off the line. Jennifer fumed when she saw the call was aborted. She turned to her Mother, “The bastard just cut me off! Can you imagine, Mother?”Jessica Rodriguez snorted angrily, “Roman needs to be arrested. He had offended us and surely, we must take revenge.”“Try getting some thugs and get him captured.” She added, gritting her teeth furiously. Jennifer nodded her head in response, “Sure Mom! I will get it done. Atkinson must have his revenge on Roman.” She sneered. In a luxurious mansion, people were gathered in one place. Worries were displayed on their faces. The Lord of the Xander Family was unconscious on the bed. The Xander Family had worries and fear on their faces. They were anxiously waiting for someone, they felt restless. One of the Xander family members spoke out in rage. “Where is she? When is she bringing the cure? We
Chapter 7 “What's wrong with my father, Dr McKenzie? Why the sudden change? Is he dying?” Reuben asked anxiously, he was panic stricken at the moment. Everyone was also scared, as murmurs filled the room. “Is the Master going to die? Please Dr McKenzie, save the Lord!”“What is going on, doctor?"“Nothing must happen to the Master!”The room was tense as everybody's hearts were overpowered with anxiety and fear. Dr McKenzie was also confused at this stage, he didn't know what to do . Roman shouted, “Calm down everyone. The Lord will be saved, you don't have to worry. His condition isn't beyond cure!” Everyone glanced at him in a confused manner. Did he really know what he's saying? They tried to ridicule him but he wasn't important at the moment. He felt their gaze on him, so he continued, “The drug injected into the Lord's body reacted as a poison. That causes the changes in the Lord's body and if he isn't treated right now, the old man might die.” Everyone exclaimed, “Poiso
Chapter 8Upon hearing the words from Reuben, the Doctor suddenly felt agitated. He cowered in fear, he knew what the Xander's family could do. Anything coming out from them, they really mean it. Quickly, he stuttered as he tried to beg for forgiveness. “Please Mr Reuben, I'm sorry for the mistake. It won't happen again, my injection hasn't worked on him. It was Roman who treated the Lord.” He claimed, trying to appease Reuben. Everyone was glaring at him disdainfully, and wondered how he could be shameless to claim what he didn't do. Obviously, his apologies won't work. Reuben shot him a deadly glare and said, “If you've claimed you're not good enough to save the Lord's life, it would be better and okay." He paused, and looked into his eyes sternly, “But you tried to stop Mr Roman from saving the Lord just only to save your dignity. Do you think I will forgive you for that? No!”“Please Mr Xander, accept my apologies! Just use this as a warning to me. It won't repeat itself." Dr.
Chapter 9Angelique 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 he
Chapter 10“And who are you to tell me that, Katherine? You're Not the owner of the estate, are you? Why are you disturbing me?” Roman asked coldly. Jennifer's friend, Katherine, was shocked by his countenance. In the past, Roman wasn't quite bold but here he is, talking back at her. She turned to the man in the car, “Can you hear what he is saying? An ordinary person can't be granted access into the estate, right? What the hell is he doing here then?" She asked. The man who had driven them into the estate was a salesman of this estate. He felt nervous as he saw how cheap Roman's clothes are. He responded, “With the cheap clothes he has on, I'm sure he is not a resident of this estate” A sly smirk appeared on her face, “What? You aren't a resident, so what are you doing here, Roman? Don't tell me you are here begging for shelter or food!” She muttered. “, you aren't supposed to be in here, don't tell me you lure your way into the estate. Are you trying to steal from someone?”“T
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 truth.” His voice was tinged with fury and rage. He turned to the Administrator, “Can you what he is saying? He wants to know the owner of the No 1 Villa!” He bursted into laughter, and abruptly, his expression changed to that of seriousness. "Why don't you tell him the real owner? Call the Head Office immediately! I want him to be jobless! Get his work terminated from Grand Pavilion Estate.” He
Everyone's mouth gaped open helplessly, and stared at the poor and shabby man, Roman in front of them. Katherine's expression instantly changed and she immediately gave the Administrator a hard glance. She walked over and asked in a harsh tone, “What the heck are you saying, Mister? Are you claiming he is the owner of the No. 1 Villa? How possible is that? He is a live-in son-in-law, and was married to my friend.” “How can he afford a Mansion worth over 150 million? I don't believe that, you should check the profile thoroughly, there might be a mistake!” Katherine added while staring at Roman with contempt. The Administrator shot a dangerous glance at the lady. She made him look like he was lying. “What do you mean there might be mistakes? I've been working for the company for the past ten years, and there's nothing like that. You should apologize to Mr Cooper for the humiliations!” The Administrator muttered. The Old woman chimed in furiously, “Why should we apologize?

I've been working for the company for the past ten years, and there's nothing like that. You should apologize to Mr Cooper for the humiliations!” The Administrator muttered. The Old woman chimed in furiously, “Why should we apologize? We've never done anything wrong. You should be the one apologizing, the security of this estate isn't tight, if not, how could a poor and wretched man enter the Grand Pavilion?” The Old woman's voice was filled with scorn, and rage. Her pale face had turned scarlet. The onlookers began to murmur and support the old woman. Katherine, and the others resented Roman and they have been looking for an opportunity to hand him over to the police. “It is impossible!How can a poor man own the No. 1 Villa? All he's saying is nonsense!” “Can you imagine the rubbish talk? Look at how impoverished and malnourished he look

The gate was opened wide enough for the people to troop inside. They were astounded at the sight before them. They never expected the mansion to be this beautiful, their expectations was the building would be like theirs. A moment later, someone shouted in admiration. "There is a swimming pool!" The person gasped, "Oh my God, no wonder it is really expensive!" Meanwhile, Katherine narrowed her brows, and asked unbelievably, “Is that really a swimming pool? I heard most of the houses in the Grand Pavilion don't have a private swimming pool, why is this mansion different?” She muttered in confusion, and had a glance at the swimming pool. Funny enough, it was a real swimming pool. Roman closed the gates and smiled smugly, "Yeah, because it's the expensive building in Grand Pavilion Estate. You expect it to be expensive, and have no difference from the other building. C'mon Katherine, you aren't a dullard, are you?" He continued, "There are two pools in this building, this is th

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 f
CHAPTER NINETY EIGHT Hearing what Angelique said, Roman felt awkward at the question. He gulped down nervously and glanced at her. He totally understood what she's talking about but he didn't want to talk about it. “Angelique, you shouldn't talking about this! We are going for a party, remember!" He mumbled, trying to divert away from the conversation. A sly smile flashed across her face, she totally understand Roman's words. Yet, she wasn't going to give up. She continued, “Why did you rejected me? Am I not beautiful enough? Is there something I'm doing that you don't like? Roman, please tell me, what's going on?" Roman sighed in exasperation, "Have anyone tell you about not being beautiful? You are, but I can't go into relationships with you!” His masculine voice laced out softly. Angelique spoke out hurriedly, “What is the reason? There must be a reason, Roman! Just tell me and I might find some solution to it." At this moment, Roman was getting antsy, "Don't get m
