You were coming from a rather wealthy and high-society family. Balls, galas, banquets, you followed your parents to many events around the world, just to be shown like some sort of trophy or pet, something present for the eyes of everyone.

But you despised all of these.

You hated having to dress up in those formal and stiff clothes, having to sit at a table for hours without being allowed to talk, during the rare occasions when the conversation wasn't about politics.

What you liked was 'causing troubles', in your parents words. You didn't want to take over the name of your family, you didn't followed the expectations required of you. No, what you wanted was join the military, feeling useful, giving a goal to your life, not sitting there like some robot and acting like you didn't had any personality.

And that was what shocked your parents, the fact you wanted to join the military, after everything they had 'sacrificed' for you. But seeing you so determined to do it, your parents allowed you to do so, but under one condition.

They just happened to know someone related to the military, a man working closely with them, the CEO of Shadow Company : Phillip Graves. You had met him on some occasions, but never really talk to him.

This man needed some funds for his company, having lost some the last months, and you needed to become respectable. So here was the agreement : You married him, he would make a respectable child of you, and in return you could join Phillip's' soldiers, and hopefully realise you don't like being one.

Either way, your parents would be satisfied, and in return, your parents would fund Phillip's little company. It wasn't ideal, sure, but it wouldn't be so bad, Phillips and you would have both something you needed : freedom for you, and money for him.
