Girlfriend of the Town Mayor's Grandson

What do you know? You chat up an old friend in a party, he introduces you this guy and suddenly you are dating this new guy, who happened to be the “town mayor’s grandson”. True. It will feel like becoming rich and influential yourself. And what they say about being in love and seeing but a valley of beautiful everything may actually make sense to you. Until of course, storm clouds start to shadow the sun.

Ka-ching
First of all, he is well off. No contest. He can give you pretty much anything you ask for. You point it, he buys it. He can take you to most expensive restaurant in town and you don’t have to worry if you have enough in your wallet, because he will never split the tab. He can ask you to come over via a cab if he can’t pick you up and he will reimburse the fare twice as much. If you date a politician’s relative, say yes to his marriage proposal, you can be assured that you can sleep soundly at night. However, where does this seemingly endless wealth come from? Is the guy’s family equally rich before the relative became the town’s official? You better do a thorough background check before you jump into the bandwagon. You might be dating the world’s greatest plunderer, but you’re already blinded by what he can offer to see.

Mileage
Apart from money, the dude will have a car. Not just any car. It will be have a plate recognized by everyone in town. Even in the entire country. This car can go straight even when red is shining brightly up the stoplight post. His car will also be free of toll. You will certainly feel invincible in it. Or are you really? Note that the red plate is a dead giveaway of who you are riding with. It can easily tell a hired head where the target is and how to put him down. Unfortunately, your chance not to get involved is so minute you won’t care about it until you actually get gunned down. Too high of a price to pay just for a ride don’t you think?

Fame
Who doesn’t want to be famous? Even your mother once dreamed to be one of those stars idolized and almost revered by fans. If you’re one who is up for this, dating a politician grandson or any relative may be your best shot. Wherever this man of yours will go, you must tag along. Thus, you are introduced to people and later you will see your tiny circle of friends have grown out of proportion. Unfortunately, half of this circle, if not three-quarters of it, is not as true to you as the remaining quarter. It is your task to recognize who is trustworthy and not. It will be a lifelong commitment to determine who will be there even in sickness. It will never be easy, mostly painful.

Twisted as it may seem, dating a politician’s relative is not a bad prospect. After all, these people are… people. They eat, sleep, bleed, and love. If you happened to be the one for them, they will surely find ways to let you see nothing but the silver lining. Not bad right!?
