Roman and Leila go way back in the day. At the early stage of Leila's career, she met Roman while on a trip to Italy. She went to a bar to celebrate after a successful meeting.
The bar was owned by Roman and while he was on a visit to the bar, he spots her, and immediately he got attracted to her. He started a little conversation with her and after a few months, he introduced her to his line of business in which Leila was the second in command.
They did not state their relationship, but they were intimate once in a while. Some years back, Leila stopped attending any meetings because her then-boyfriend disliked the association.
Leila did not completely leave the coup, as she still had her men and the businesses that she still had under the coup were still running. But even after her break-up, she did not come back.
