Cedric Reyes has a secret, he is the heir and eldest son of the rich and powerful Reyes clan. As tradition all heirs of their family have to go through a form of poverty training at the age of fifteen. They are left to fend for themselves with no contact and barely any money. Since leaving, he's gotten married to Adrianna Herandez, the Treasure of the Hernandez clan. Adrianna's family had always looked down at him due to his humble origins, but Adrianna has always stuck by him. Treated badly by his classmates in the past, and his in law in the present. They are about to encounter the shock of their lives. The Reyes Heir rules the country with his friends, the four princes, who are each from powerful and well respected families.

As Cedric got into his car he slumped back on his seat and closed his eyes to calm himself.
"What happened there?" Ian said as he had noticed the visible expression of irritation on Cedric's face as he walked out of the room.
Most people would have thought Cedric was calm and rational, but Ian had worked with Cedric long enough to know when something was bothering him.
"Well for one we were right." Cedric said with a sigh. "I really didn't want to be right this time, but the mayor is corrupt. He offered that he could change the mind of the property owners if we paid him."
"Cedric, we both knew there was an extremely high chance of this being true." Ian said as he placed a hand on his friend's shoulder. "What do you want to do now?" He asked.
"We've only seen one half of the puzzle." Cedric said, shaking his head. "I think there is more to this matter than a simple bribe."
