I've got her pregnant and she's a plane ride away. I can't stop thinking about how she's on her own over in California and how she's promised to keep her mouth shut. She won't even tell her parents that I'm the father."
    "It's probably for the best until you've figured out how you're going to frame it."
    "How can I frame it, Lewis? It is what it is. I drank too much and got a girl pregnant."
    "You'll have to spin it differently for the press. Pretend that it's the culmination of a long-term love affair."
    "Hmph."
    "I don't know what to tell you, Jack. You'll have to face it sometime. People are going to find out."
    Jack knew Lewis was right, but the thought of telling his father that he'd done something reckless again made Jack feel like a child and he'd much rather tell him at a time when he'd figured a few things out and could frame it in a better light.
    After dinner, he said goodbye to Lewis and began to head out of the club. He was just walking towards the valet to hand over his keys when suddenly he heard his name being called and turned around to find a familiar woman waving at him.
    It was Hannah. She was as beautiful as ever, but it had been a while since Jack had seen her in the cold light of day. The slim blonde was wearing a soft pink cashmere sweater and a short black skirt. She looked every bit the Stepford wife, but Jack knew better than to be deceived by appearances. He knew with just a few shots in her, Hannah would be dancing on the tables and telling the press all her dirty secrets. Jack let out a little groan when he realized who was calling him and impatiently waited for her to catch up. She greeted him by throwing her arms around his neck with a little squeal.
    "Jack! Darling! It's been too long! Where have you been?"
    "Oh, you know, around."
    "I've been trying to get a hold of you for weeks. In fact, I was telling Sophie just the other day about how I needed to have a good old catch up with Jack. When are you free, darling? We should get some drinks."
    "I'm not really into all that anymore, Hannah."
    "Nonsense! We used to have such fun! Do you remember?"
    Jack pulled a face. The last night out he'd had with Hannah had ended in disaster when one of the young men they'd been driving with had been pulled over for drunk driving and the papers had broadcast the dangerous activities of Vegas' young and wealthy. His father had been furious at him for having been involved in the scandal. Things had only been made worse by Hannah's eagerness to provide a quote for the paper and all because she loved being at the center of attention of a group of journalists.
    It was her big mouth that had tied Jack's name to the incident and he'd made an effort to stay away from both her and the others since that night in an effort to clear up his act and prove to his father that he was worthy of inheriting the family business.
    "Don't be a bore, Jack. Let's meet up sometime."
    "Really, Hannah, I don't think it's a good idea. I'm working towards taking over the casinos. I really need to focus on my work right now."
    Hannah's eyes lit up at the mention of his inheritance and she moved her body closer to him suggestively. "What a big responsibility that must be. I'd love to hear all about it sometime. I'll call you."
    A valet appeared at that moment with Hannah's car and the manipulative blonde drove away. Jack rolled his eyes. He knew just why Hannah was so interested in talking to him again. It had been all over the business reports that her father's own company had suffered a monumental loss in recent months after a huge contract fell through and that her family's funds were in danger.
    She was looking to latch onto a wealthy partner to keep her in the lifestyle to which she was accustomed and, as a former flame, Jack was naturally her first choice. In his younger days, Jack might have fallen for her charms, but he'd had enough women attaching themselves to him for his bank account; by now that he'd learned to sense a
