    Winona’s POV.“You are kidding right?” Marti asked.“I wish I am but I’m not,” she answered and buried her face in her palm.“If he’s really her father then Mason is a billionaire,” Marti stated. “What will you do now? He’s looking for a surrogate mother to give him an heir when in fact he already has an heir and it’s Mason,” she added.“But I don’t want him to meet us in this way. He will just mistake me for a con artist who’s after his money,” she explained. Everything is a mess. The more she wanted to tell him the truth the more reason she shouldn’t have. It’s a bad idea.
