“If you succumb to greed over power and worship money, betrayal is nothing even to your own flesh and blood.” ___ SELENA. Everyone in their mansion is busy preparing for the big event party organized by the Morgans. To them, it was the time to announce the Mayoral candidacy of my father-in-law, Bart Morgan. Morgan Enterprise will also announce my husband, Drake Morgan, as their newly appointed CEO.

Why did you…involve yourselves with those animals?” I asked myself as I sat on the passenger seat.Without any delay, I pestered John to quickly drive, “Go!
