Being your father’s only daughter was so difficult and draining. He always had expectations and rules set for you that his sons could always break, but you couldn’t. He was extremely strict when it came to your dating life, so you had to be sneaky.

Your brothers could date whoever, but you couldn’t. You always made sure to stay away from dating sites since the experience has been terrible for you, but when you saw Simon’s profile, you had to risk it; and it was the best decision you’ve ever made.

You and Simon hit it off pretty well, and you so badly wanted to tell your father since you truly loved this man, but you couldn’t. In your father’s mind, any man in the military is ruined; worthless. These men are harsh and dangerous, and shouldn’t feel love.

A nice caring man with a CEO job was the most your father could expand his horizon to. He needed to make sure his daughter married to a rich man, but you could care less about the money.

Since majority of your relationship with Simon was long distance, he’d often send you gifts… While you were working, a package got delivered to your house. Thinking it was his, your father opened the box, only to find out about your secret boyfriend.

Oh just wait till you get home. “You cannot love him, it’s a sin!” Your father shouted. “You are an angel, he’s a monster.” His face was turning red, he was so angry finding out his ‘innocent’ daughter is with a monster.

He doesn’t understand the comfort you feel in Simon’s presence, the comfort your father could never compete with. How safe you feel when your lips meet, when he presses you against his chest, running fingers through your hair.
