EF code first and two way relationships

this.HasRequired(t => t.Parent)
    .WithMany(t => t.Children)
    .HasForeignKey(d => d.ParentId);

Here I defined a basic 1-to-many relationship. What if I do not want to have Children property exposed at all in Model, but still want to have synchronization of values between Parent and ParentId. How would I go defining such "relationship"?

You will call WithMany without any parameter:

this.HasRequired(t => t.Parent)
    .WithMany()
    .HasForeignKey(d => d.ParentId);
