MAKE YOUR BOYFRIEND READ THIS BOOK!Mark Walters, of the mansion on the corner of Walters' Drive, is a young man with everything. He has the looks, he has the money, and he has the Lamborghini.

Discerning, demanding, selective, and other such words might better define such a person.So, when he meets a relatively plain young girl, he knows how to behave around her, without making her feel bad about how poorly she compares with the sorts of girls he seeks to have as girlfriends. She is average, although there's nothing really to pinpoint in the body parts. It is just that she is one of the billions of normal girls out on the streets of the world, who have nothing going for or against them on the looks front.As he's the guy with everything, he has to be careful to not let this girl fall in love with him. So, because he is a decent human being, he micromanages the relationship, in a way to keep her safe from the heartbreak of love.But togetherness is a complex soup, and love never knocks!

"I know these people, they have all the money, they have all the power, they think they can do anything." - Shaikha Shamsa, after her abduction. 8 March, 2021: Dubai's Ruler, who has been convicted of kidnapping his daughter, Shaikha Latifa, has not yet provided, as demanded by the UN, proof that she is alive.The fate of Latifa's sister, Shamsa, abducted by her father 21 years ago, is also not known, as she has never been seen in public, from the age of 18 to today - which would make her 39!But the world is complicit, as everyone has always known that Dubai's rulers have been in the business of global abduction for over 50 years now, although it has to be admitted they started small - with toddlers, actually.Nobody needs fret about the Sheikh's daughters, as there is absolutely no doubt they have been seriously harmed, and will never be returned to the world - to bear witness against their father.This man has trained himself, and his people, to enjoy camel races as sporting spectacles, both live and on television, with globally kidnapped toddlers as jockeys, tortured horrifically to convert them into winners.This is a distressing read, primarily because it is based on truth, and shows that the world is complicit in what has happened and is happening in this global center of crime and human abuse.There is a lot more to Dubai, than meets the eye. A lot more.
