Chapter 13 - Roman Faces Furious Corporate Board Members
Back in downtown Chicago, an emergency board meeting was convened in a hastily booked conference room at an independent law firm.
The remaining directors sat around the glass table, glaring at Roman with naked hostility as he walked in late and disheveled.
“You brought federal agents straight to our front door, Roman! The stock is completely worthless!” shouting erupted from the end of the table.
“We are facing criminal indictment because you tried to illegally siphon company funds into your mistress's personal accounts!” another director yelled.
Roman slammed his briefcase down, trying to project the intimidating authority that had kept them all in line for years.
“Shut your mouths! I built this company from the ground up, and I will fix this mess before the markets open on Monday!” Roman snarled.

“You aren't fixing anything, Roman; the board has voted unanimously to strip you of your CEO title and voting privileges,” the lead director stated.
A formal termination letter slid across the table toward him, officially locking him out of the empire he had sacrificed everything to protect.
