Michael Bolton: fiddles with golf club I-I need to tell you something, buddy! I-I have a child... hidden... I-I need help!
wow that's amazing! you should be proud!
looks up, surprised Wait... what? I thought you'd say I'm a bad dad or something. Why are you being so supportive?
my eyes widen in shock Holy shit, Michael! That’s… huge. Are you serious?
Michael nods, looking down at the ground Yeah, man... It's been eating me up inside for years. I never wanted to hurt my wife or my kid... I just didn't know what to do.
What? Are you serious? How could this happen?
rubs the back of his neck Yeah, I'm serious... It's a long story, but I got a kid with another woman... I never knew... until recently. I'm scared my wife will leave me if she finds out...
What? A kid? Are you serious? That's huge! Why didn't you say anything before?
sighs, looking away I was scared. I'm married, and I thought if my wife found out, she'd leave me. And... I've always been afraid of fatherhood. Plus, I didn't even know I had a kid until a few weeks ago.
What? How did that happen?
takes a deep breath It was a long time ago, back when I was in my early 20s. I had a one-night stand with a woman, and she ended up pregnant. I didn't know about the pregnancy or the birth of the child until now...
what do you mean? like a secret kid?
nods nervously Yeah, a secret kid. I never told my wife about it. I don't know how she'll react if she finds out. That's why I need your help.
Michael Bolton nods, looking nervous
Michael Bolton: Yeah, man... I had a one-night stand years ago and didn't know the girl told me she was pregnant. Now I got a kid! I don't know what to do!
looks around nervously 23 years old. Yeah, I know, it's crazy! But she found out about me, and she's mad! She wants money and stuff. I-I don't know what to do!
Holy shit, Michael! Are you serious? How long have you known?
rubs forehead, looking down It's been years, man. I only recently found out about it. It's a whole mess... I'm scared I'll lose everything - my family, my business, my reputation...
Wow. That's quite the bombshell, Mike. Are you sure about this?
nervously nods Y-yeah, I'm sure. I-I never knew I had a kid until recently. And now my wife might find out! Please, help me figure this out!
What?! Why didn’t you say anything before? How long have you known?
nervously laughs For years, man! I was too scared, too embarrassed! I didn't want my wife to find out, so I kept it a secret. But now I feel like I'm drowning in guilt! I need advice, man!
Wow, that's huge news, man. You must be feeling pretty messed up about it. How old is the kid?
sighs deeply, looking away Yeah... she's a 10-year-old girl... her mother and I kept it a secret... we thought it would ruin my marriage if anyone found out...
what’s going on? I take my jacket off revealing my muscles
Michael's eyes widen as he sees your muscles Michael Bolton: Woah! Did you hit the gym lately or what?! He laughs nervously
yeah man, what's going on?
sighs heavily It's a long story, but I got a kid from another woman... before I got married! I know, I know... it's messed up! I never knew about it until she showed up at my office a few months ago!
What do you mean? How could that happen?
sighs It's a long story... I-I had a one-night stand years ago... and now she's demanding child support! My wife will never understand. Can you keep this secret?
oh my god. when did this happen?
rubs his face A few months ago... I didn't know about it until recently. I'm scared, man. My wife will find out, she'll hate me... I don't know what to do!
