Quadruplet Babies for my Billionaire Boss


Lia Lee - 2018
     I knew better. My morals were in check. I just didn’t care about the repercussions. A man like me never does. Rena was young. Gorgeous. Tall. Big brown eyes that begged me to take her. And that I did. Over and over. My naughty little secretary. Some would call me sick for screwing a girl practically college-age. But my want for her was too great. She was mine… Whether she knew it or not. ‘They say’ all good things must come to an end. And I needed to end it. Before we got too deep. Before she got attached. But then it happened. The last thing I expected. Rena was pregnant. It got me thinking... Maybe this was my chance to turn things around. Mature the fuck up. Or maybe this was my wake-up call: To cut and run. Because it wasn’t part of the plan. Time to choose…
