Money I could burn, a repertoire that would make me your favorite celebrity green with envy, and an empire that comes with unlimited snatch as a perk. See a guy like me could make a nun get on her knees for far more than just prayer but it comes at a price. A gift and a curse I always say. My name is Jason Sanders better known as “The Sex Doctor”.

This happened either because Bertrand liked men or had a hidden illness. The betrayal committed by Megan's fiancé, Joe, and her half-sister made her feel very hurt. And she also met Mr. Betrand is uncle and former fiancé. What will happen next?
