An Heir for a Father's Friend

“To give birth to a child?” I ask, stunned. “Yes, Nina,” Dymov calmly confirms. “I need an heir. I thought about hiring a surrogate mother, but you fit perfectly.” “And for that you’ll pay off all of Dad’s debts?” I ask, putting my hand on his forehead. It’s burning. “Everything is correct,” Dymov confirms. “I… I agree. Dad’s friend. Ideal. Unreachable. My first and only love. He appeared in my life at the moment when I didn’t know what to do next. Only his offer to help is far from selfless—and I… I desperately want to be in his life under any conditions.”
