Makavelli was still looking for love. He’s been lonely for so long and needed someone to share his world with. He traveled the world searching and searching, but didn’t find it. Even with all the wealth he possessed, he knew he can’t buy happiness. He was willing to give up almost anything trade for true love. He walked around in his upstate New York estate alone and miserable. His home was missing the presence of a great woman.
Makavelli was a slim, dark skinned clean cut man with striking features.

Paul had been working with Makavelli for almost twenty years, and always had his best interest. He was probably the main reason Makavelli continued living a healthy life.
“Wow, sir, this is amazing!” Paul expressed. “I never saw anything like this. She’s prettier than the Mona Lisa.”
“Thanks! I wasn’t expecting a compliment like that. This is my greatest
