But look, it’s all in hand…”Jessica couldn’t believe it. Was her father that cash-strapped that he had sold her body to surrogacy? And for how much?“Then I want my million back!”Jessica burst in the door.Jack Wilson stood before her, famous soccer player with L.A. Galaxy. He was looking for a surrogate mother for his child?“Daddy, what’s going on?” but her father crumpled to the ground before them.
