What if she did not want her life among the brightness of the meadows? What if she preferred the darkness of his kingdom? What if she did not want a crown of flowers? What if she wanted his crown of thorns? And maybe she wanted him like he wanted her. Loved him like he loved her. But that was not how their tale was told. Set in the modern world, follow a florist and a Dark Lord whose fates had long been written way before the first of flowers could even begin to flourish in its first full bloom. [Previously known as His Persephone. A modern retelling of Hades' and Persephone's love story.]

Hate was deeply buried into his eyes-- and you know what Nyx did? Out of all the options she has? The options of walking away. To hitting him back. To fighting or yelling or make a scene or arguing over this pitiful arrangement. To just let him win. To give up. Well, it wasn't any of those. No, she took a step closer, looked him right in the eye and winked. "Oh," She said. "You can do better than that." *** There are some heartbreaks in life that are a universal pain. Like the inevitable chance that you'll fall and rip the skin off your knees open, rejection, your first breakup, friends growing apart, siblings moving away, losing a loved one, your first fight. Nyx Red was a shattered soul with a good heart; and no one warned her about a whole other kind of heartbreak. One she couldn't have prevented but should've seen coming. Because of a traumatic event that happened when she was sixteen, Nyx believes that her life is meaningless, that nothing could save her. Besides her infamous reputation, Nyx is called and seen as the ghost girl. She feels all alone most days. She feels like the weight of her life is a bomb that's going off too slowly. But then her town's own personal Devil with a reputation worse than her father's him accompany him is determined to prove her wrong. Damien D'Silvetta has a messed up life. From horrible things at a young age, to a missing best friend, to dealing with bullies at his school his list of problems just keeps growing. And, newly added, one Nyx Red is at the top of that list. Stuck together by a stupid arrangement set up by the principal? Annoyingly, yes. Seeing each other every day after school? Unfortunately. Frustrating the other? Always. Fighting and flirting? There's not a difference. Name-calling? Too much. Growing feeling for the other? With horror. Falling in love? Even worse. *** This is the old version! New one is up as of 3/31/24 and will be updated on Sundays

They wanted her away from the outside world so much that they put her in online school throughout her entire life.

Her aging grandmother is the only person who understands what she's going through and desperately wants to take her away from it all. Tristian Locke A 25-year-old tattoo artist who believes his heart is broken beyond repair. His mother, who has experienced painful trauma is now in a state of shock.
