want /wänt,wônt/ verb definition: to have a desire to possess or do something; to wish for something want is a funny thing. the way that it works. we all have wants. some people want to be successful, while others want love. there are a countless number of things we want as human beings. it's never ending. once you have something that you want, you can't help but find another, and another. but have you ever wanted something so bad that you'd give up everything (yes, everything) in a heartbeat? just to feel that one moment of happiness after you finally get what you want? that's all Cassandra Rhodes has ever wanted. she's the daughter of billionaire Blake Rhodes, and her life is nothing short of luxurious. there's not a physical thing that she cannot have. but, the luxuries she has isn't what she seeks. there's a million things she has that others would die for, but none of it is what she wants. what she wants is what she can't have. ~
