The Clifford Brothers

I built my global security empire from nothing. Control and discipline are the only rules I live by. Some might call me 'intense'. I prefer 'meticulously prepared for every disaster imaginable.' Growing up in a group home with my two brothers taught me the only lesson that mattered: never let anyone close enough to hurt you. As a CEO, I don't improvise. I plan. I command. When I'm hired to provide security for an engagement party, I expect an easy job. Instead, I meet a woman who treats my rules like optional suggestions.

I run a global security company with my brothers and negotiate high-stakes deals without breaking a sweat. But my daughter deciding she suddenly hates every outfit in her closet five minutes before school? That brings me to my knees every time. Honestly, being a CEO is easier than being a single dad. That’s why I have rules. Routines. Structure. My life runs a whole lot smoother when everything stays organized and under control. Then my maintenance company bails on me again, and my house descends into complete chaos. Hiring help goes from unnecessary to essential.
