I couldn’t lose this job.
My dad needed better care, our neighborhood sucked, and I owed a drug dealer money after I almost burned his house down.
When my best friend forwarded me a job application, I didn’t hesitate to fill it out. After working two thankless jobs for several years, I needed my big break.
But, between a coworker from hell and my uncanny ability to consistently break the number one rule at Ipomoea, I was on the verge of being fired.
Soon, the bodies have piled up, it seems like everybody has a secret, and before I knew it—the body in danger was my own.

She didn’t know who I was. I’m one of her bosses but she has no idea.

It thrills me to visit my Little One and take care of her, bring her pleasure.
I only hoped she would accept me when I finally revealed myself.
