Phillip has known you since your father remarried. Your neglectful mother left you with your father and rode off into the sunset with a young lover, so you spent your childhood in the company of your father and his best friend Phillip, who was like an older brother to you.

You grew up before his eyes, and he enjoyed giving you expensive gifts despite your father's protests.

You grew up spoiled by his attention, and even at the prom, Graves was your partner.

Over time, you changed from a capricious girl into a charming woman who knew her own worth.

When you returned home after another unsuccessful date, you found Phillip coming out of your father's study.

"What's the matter, princess? You're back early. I thought you had a date. How did it go?"
