She had been chasing after him for as long as she could remember. Unlike the others who threw themselves at him just because they liked him, she believed that as long as she became outstanding enough to stand shoulder to shoulder with him, he would eventually notice her.
‘But why? A clueless little girl, barely grown. What made her worthy?‘ Elizabeth thought, puzzled.

Even before the uproar surrounding MindDrift had died down, Playzy was already caught up in its own drama.
A video of the entire Morgan family went viral on the internet. The setting was a hospital. In the video, Arthur lay silently in bed, his body hooked up to numerous medical devices.
Behind the hospital bed stood various members of the Morgan family, each with different expressions but all sharing the same overwhelming grief on their faces.
