Skyla wants to live a life of luxury and ease, but she doesn't have the right set of skills to achieve it. What she does have is her beauty.
But she is also not foolish enough to believe that her beauty alone will grant her that. She lives in a city where beautiful women are a dime-a-dozen. Some of them get lucky and find a rich partner and some lose themselves while trying to find one.
Skyla doesn't want to take that chance. So she decided to go down the investment route, find someone before their success, latch on to them, and then reap the benefits of being the wife of a successful man.
She was inspired to make this choice after she learned a few things about Caroline.
So she started dating her boyfriend, the guy who has a football scholarship and is quite good at it. Since he is a simpleton, she managed to become his girlfriend, but since he is a simpleton, he can be easily manipulated by others too.
