Getting my secretary knocked up took the term 'off-limits' to a whole new level...
I've always been a businessman.
It's in my blood.
It defines me.
Well, that and being a single dad.
My daughter is the only thing I prize above money.
And I want to be the role model she deserves.
But when I'm suddenly on the verge of bankruptcy, the shit hits the fan.

I knew she was off-limits.
She knew I was bad for her.

I want to support Elena.
I want this baby.
But I have a dark past that isn't done toying with me yet… Views: 34
