CHAPTER FOUR
Upon 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 worst beating of your life.”
“I bet you will be leaving out of here in whole. It might be your last day on earth, who knows!”
Upon hearing this, the Taxi man was shivering to death, so he picked out his phone to call the police.
Unfortunately for him, Atkinson had spotted him, and he muttered in a cold tone. “What are you trying to do, nincompoop? You really want to call the police?”
He broke into a devilish smile, and threatened, “If you call the police, I will make sure you are also beaten to death”
The Taxi man cowered in fear. Quickly, he dropped the phone back into his pocket and watched the scene with a frightened heart.
“Surround him, boys! He mustn't escape.”
Swiftly, Atkinson commanded his underlings. His men were up to eight, and instantly, they surrounded him, making sure he didn't escape from them.
Some of them held up the baseball bats, while some with heavy metals.
Seeing how expressionless Roman was, Atkinson’s face darkened instantly. “Beat him up! Crush his bones into pieces. He needs to suffer a great deal!" He ordered.
Atkinson's men also looked aggressive also, no iota of fear was displayed in Romans eyes, and couldn't help but have the urge to teach him some lessons.
They roared and attacked him with their weapons. But surprisingly, none of Atkinson's men were able to touch him.
Perfectly, he dodged all the hits, and returned the favor back to them. He beat them mercilessly, he never spared any of the men as he crushed their bones.
They were injured, and groaned in pain. Those who don't have a broken arm would have a broken leg.
The Taxi man who was looking fearful some minutes ago was totally shocked at how skillful the man in front of him was.
He had taken down the gangsters so easily.
Atkinson was shocked. He never expected Roman to have beaten his men like this.
He knew Roman had practiced martial arts but he didn't know he was so good at fighting.
He tried to say something but couldn't. Looking pissed, he ran towards his car.
With a sly smile on his face, he took out a pistol and walked towards him.
“How dare you beat my men like this?” He questioned furiously and pointed his gun at him.
“I know you are good at fighting, I won't try to fight with you but..” He laughed mockingly, “You wouldn't be good at fighting with the gun. Can you dodge a bullet?” He demanded.
Looking at the cold metal on Atkinson's hand, Roman still looked confident, and sneered in disdain.
“Are you threatening me with the gun? Atkinson, you should be wiser than this! You really think I will be afraid of the cold metal in your hand?”
He continued, “You don't even bother to ask what your family has done to me but here you are, pointing a gun at him.”
“What has my family done to you? You are nothing but a useless man that needs to be exiled from the family. My sister gave you everything, and all you could do is to be ungrateful! Roman, never forget you are a live-in son-in-law, and live off of my sister's wealth.” Atkinson's face darkened in rage while he held the gun firmly unto his hand.
Roman didn't bother to say anything. He knew Atkinson was just acting based on his sister's orders.
He walked closer to the taxi man, and muttered some words to him.
“Let's go, man!”
Atkinson was furious at his demeanor, and roared, “Where do you think you are going, Roman?” He pointed the gun at him.
Roman turned to him, and smirked, “You really want to shoot me!” He was looking confident, he knew he could avoid the bullet.
“Do you think I was joking before? I’m going to end your life right now!” With that being said, he cocked the gun, and tried to shoot.
A loud noise suddenly came from nowhere, making Atkinson stop on his track.
Tens of luxurious cars passed by. Atkinson's eyes were filled with envy, and desire. Those cars are really, really expensive.
He really thought they were passing by, but the cars stopped.
He looked perplexed and wondered who it might be. While looking keenly at the cars, a very beautiful and slender lady walked out of one of the luxurious cars.
Not only that, many men dressed in black suits came out of the cars and followed behind her with heavy ammunition on their hands.
Atkinson's eyes widened. He looked perplexed, and wondered who they might be.
Seeing the beautiful lady walking towards him, Atkinson was shocked. Could it be that the beautiful lady is interested in him? He brightened up his face then dipped the gun into his pocket.
But the case was different, the lady walked towards him, and demanded in a calm tone.
“How dare you offend Mr Cooper?” She turned to the men behind her, and ordered. “Teach him a lesson!”
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
Chapter 11The onlookers stared at Roman in disgust, they called him some names that aren't honorary. He was labeled as a thief, a Liar, a Pauper and all sorts of. Roman couldn't help but get angry at those words. He clenched his fist angrily, and tried to suppress the anger he felt at the moment. He is intolerant to insults. He won't let them go scot free. He's surely going to make them regret their actions. He watched them keenly, and continued to tolerate the insults and humiliations. His expression had turned stoic, and he was glaring at the onlookers, especially Katherine and the salesman maliciously. Among the bystanders, an old woman and her husband were glaring at Roman contemptuously. “Can you imagine the nonsense he is sputtering out of his mouth?" The Old woman said disparagingly to her husband who stood beside her. “Right? I'm stupefied that he owned the No. 1 Villa! Did he know how much the house was worth? He had claimed the Villa shamelessly. He really needs to be
Chapter 12 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 apolo
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.

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
