the ceo who loves me

Put your finger down if.... -You almost got hit by a car the day you found out about your father's other family. -You are saved by the nastiest boy in town and become convinced that he is now your white knight in shining armor. Naturally, you think you're in love with him. The only problem? You're twelve and he's twenty, but he's too kind to tell you otherwise. -You continue to throw yourself at him until he puts his foot down when you get older. So you move on with your life, and when your family moves away, you're glad you're gone and don't have to be the girl who chased you anymore. -Almost a decade later, you cause a riot in a strip club, break his best friend's nose and get arrested. That teenager you fell in love with is now a man, and when you sit across from him and he interrogates you, you realize he doesn't remember who you are... This one's for you, reader. Thank you for loving these characters and this series. Preface She danced to the beat of her own drum. Chapter One As we grew older, there were some things we knew we shouldn't do. Life had a set of rules and some big no-no's. Let's see... there was stealing, cheating, killing and what I was doing at the time: following a man in the dead of night. Logically, I knew I shouldn't be doing this, but logic and catching your next big break didn't always go together.

Why would a man who had everything decide to throw it all aside for someone new? Why would he leave a perfectly good family for a new one? I knew there were no stupid questions, but why did men do the things they did? Just like getting to the center of a Tootsie Lollipop, the world may never know. That day also led to my near death. I was so distraught about my world falling apart that I didn't think or see where I was going
