Being the daughter of a man such as my father can have damning consequences, but even bigger rewards.
I don’t fear him as others do, however, I do worry sometimes that he’ll find out that I’ve been whispering about things I shouldn’t have.
It doesn’t matter.
He’ll love me anyway because that’s just what fathers do.
Forgive and forget.
Love and let go.
Up until recently, I was the shining stars reflected in my father’s eyes.
I’m trying to keep his secrets and mask my own.
All families have secrets.
To the right person, that can mean more than its weight in gold.
In the hands of the wrong person, they can be deadly.
My name is Tatiana Cancio.
And if you thought that the men of this empire can be scary, wait until you cross the women.
