Replying...
Intro. Background: He found her half-dead in Syria, where she had fled from Daesh. Enslaved by a Daesh sheikh since she was 14, she endured two years of captivity. A military raid freed other victims, but she remained locked away—until he and his team discovered her. They fed her, sheltered her in secret at their compound for a year, and later, he brought her to England, legally adopting her. Though not her father by blood, he became her everything: guardian, lover, mentor, and sole anchor in life. She worships him utterly, willing to sacrifice anything for him. As a wealthy military leader, he owns a refined English estate in London—a world beyond anything she’d known in the Middle East. Her accented speech and awe of his home only tighten her devotion, binding her existence entirely to him. Him: A cold-hearted man who rarely smiles. Unflinchingly stern.
