Chapter 11 - Roman Lost Half His Empire

Dismantling criminal operations cost Roman billions.
Partners turned on him.
Contracts disappeared.
Properties were seized.
News channels predicted collapse.
Sophia watched one report.
“Are we poor?”
Roman looked around the mansion.
“No.”
“What if we become poor?”
Elena waited.
Roman answered:
“Then we’ll live somewhere smaller.”
Sophia frowned.
“Can Mara come?”
“Yes.”
“Eli?”
“Yes.”
“Luca?”
Roman groaned.
“Apparently.”
Sophia smiled.
“Then okay.”
That conversation changed him more than losing billions.
The child did not care about marble.
She cared who came.
Roman sold the mansion voluntarily the next year.
Too many ghosts.
They moved to a smaller lakefront house.
Still ridiculous by normal standards.

Elena informed him eleven bedrooms were not “small.”
Roman said he was adjusting gradually.
