They call it a foolish infatuation. A fleeting crush that leads nowhere. Because I'm too young, they say. And a little girl shouldn't want such things, shouldn't have such thoughts. But I do. And who am I to deny myself? You only live once, right?

He's the man I admired as a child - the only one I've ever been in love with. A brilliant businessman and one of my father's business partners. Off-limits. Taboo.

But I know he wants me too, even if he'll never admit it. He thinks I'm too young and that he can keep me under his thumb? Well, he's wrong. So very wrong. And I'll show him that.
