I've spent my life taking over my father's company, I'm what some would call-married to my career.But the fact is, I want my own heir to pass my business on to, And she's my perfect opportunity. It's simple: No relationship obligations, No financial obligations, Just a baby.Or so I thought... Hiding my feelings for her and the diary confession I found is more than just a complication, About the time I feel like I've completely shot myself in the foot, I find out, I'm not the only one hiding a secret. ***Check Out this Full-Length Baby Contract Story Filled with Intrigue, Flirting and Romance.***No Cheating.
