In the meantime, intuition leads Shauz to call it quits with her long term cheating boyfriend Acerion Feldham (Ace). Shauz’s subconscious thoughts are confirmed with reality when Ace’s mistress Kensa tells her exactly where to find evidence of his 13yrs of infidelity. However, even with all of this, Shauz questions whether she should leave “her man” for some other woman to enjoy, especially after he’s been properly molded. But then, as the story unfolds, all thoughts of Ace are off. So she thought. Ace, on the other hand, finally wants to be a one woman man these days. But, in order to do so, supernatural change is what he needs. It’s too bad he doesn’t know it. As Ace’s career as music producer of rap group StaticOne begins to blow up.
