a virgin for a vow

Sophie sat quietly in her father's study, overlooking the lush gardens of their family estate.

She had just turned 18 and was feeling the weight of her family's expectations upon her shoulders.

Her father, a wealthy businessman, had always been very strict with her education and upbringing, expecting nothing but the best from his only daughter.

Sophie couldn't help but feel trapped in her privileged life, wanting more than the world of societal events and expectations that awaited her.

Sophie, “Mum called walking into the study.

I just got a call that your dad is coming today,” she smiled.

Really!!!, A bright smile shines brightly on her face.

Yes, your 18th birthday is going to be splendid, hmm- let me go check the cake,“ she swiftly walked to the kitchen.

I hurriedly ran to my room, I scattered my clothes taking out the beautiful gown Dad got for me on my 17th birthday.

Dad is always on business trips so, he is rarely on my birthday.

I heard the loud sound of a car horn from outside.

He's here,” I jumped happily running outside.

Dad!!!, I screamed running to him.

Sophie,“ he wrapped his hands around me.

My princess is all grown up,” he chuckled.

Hmmm-i smell something, mum is in the kitchen right??,“ he asked.

Yeah, she is,” I giggled, am sure he must've missed Mum's cooking.

We both walked in and I helped to carry his bags.

Sweetheart, am home,“

Baby,” Mum came out of the kitchen she hugged and kissed him.

I could smell your food from outside,“

You missed them don't you,” she chuckled and Dad kissed her again.

And I missed you, you and Sophie,“

Hope you aren't going back,”

No, am not going back anymore am finally staying with my family,“ he smiled.

This calls for a double celebration,” Mum chuckled.

I have a big surprise, we are going for a picnic, “Dad said.

Dad,” Sophie squealed.

Let me pack the food and the cake, Sophie get dressed quickly,“ Mum said going to the kitchen.

Love you, Dad,” I whispered running upstairs.

Careful Sophie, “Dad chuckled.

Are we there,“ Sophie asked in anticipation.

Dad turned off the highway and down a bushy path.

Almost there princess,” he smiled.

Sophie is tall and dark-haired, her eyes, the color of warm chocolate, are large and expressive, framed by thick, dark lashes.

When she gazes at you, it feels as if she can see into the very depths of your soul, her eyes revealing a wisdom beyond her tender age.

Her lips are full and naturally pink, forming a gentle and inviting smile that can brighten the darkest of days.

She once had a boyfriend in high school and they had slept together on the night they graduated.

Although the relationship didn't last for long.

Sophie smiled remembering her school days.

One Friday night, she had agreed to go to a House party with her roommate. There, she met Ryan and they started dating a week later.

He was a nice guy.

Their first night together still rings in her head,

Ryan grunted and thrust above her, she had closed her eyes, digging her hands into the sheets and bucking her hips against Ryan.

She moaned loudly as Ryan gave one final thrust, gasping her

name as he came violently.

She dumped Ryan after a few months when she found out he had cheated on her with her best friend.

Dad drove deeper into the woods,

We are here“, dad smiled.

Dad parked the car and shut off the engine.
