I Want To Fly

Quinn had spent the past week drowning in a search for ways to raise the money she needed.

She had gone through her assets, examined every investment, every property, every opportunity.

No matter how she crunched the numbers, no matter which way she looked at it, the best she could personally muster up was fifty million. Fifty million was impressive, but not enough, not even close.

She kept searching for a way as her thoughts kept returning again and again to that one figure. One hundred and twenty million.

That was her ticket, the amount she needed to make the leap and take what felt like her first real shot at independence. 

She wanted to step out from the shadow that her family's wealth and influence had always cast over her. She wanted to prove she could stand on her own. 

But how could she break the chains that bound her to that same family when it was those chains that gave her even that fifty million she had.
