At 19, most young adults are worried about college, frat parties, passing classes, over the top professors, career goals, etc. Then there's Persephone Carter. Not your typical college student, she's the wife to her math professor. Growing up her mother held certain family traditions that weren't always easy, resulting in Persephone not always getting to live her life the way she wanted to.
Keeping traditions going and feeling like it was best to pick her daughter's husband, Persephone's parents arranged for her to marry the son of a well-known businessman, but also a close family friend. Will Persephone be able to handle the pressure of being an exceptional student and the perfect wife? Or will she crumble under all the pressure especially when her husband's ex-pops back up threatening to destroy their marriage just when things start to look up?
At 25 years old, most men would either be just getting out of or still be in partying mode; getting drunk and sleeping with different women every night, which Maximus Carter enjoyed doing. After getting his heart broken by his first love, Max said screw love and didn't want anything to do with women, his motto was smash and pass. Also having had to deal with parents who held certain family traditions, Max's parents arranged for him to marry Persephone and just when their marriage was seemingly perfect, Max's ex-comes back in the picture and drops a bombshell. Will Max and Persephone's marriage survive? Or will his ex-succeed in destroying it?

Lesson Learned {Student Teacher Romance}
My whole life is 'have to.' I have to work full-time to pay the bills and keep food on the table. I have to finish college for a chance at a better job, no matter how long it takes. I have to manage my mom's sobriety so I can keep her out of jail. I have to keep a smile on my face, so no one knows how hard it's been. Now, I have to ignore the curious feelings that flutter in my chest whenever my devastatingly handsome new English professor, Fitzwilliam Benedict, is nearby. Of course, that's kind of impossible because I have to face his storm-tossed eyes and broad shoulders in class every other evening if I want to graduate with my perfect grade-point intact. And it's getting harder to ignore the way his thoughtful gaze sees all the way down to the truth I don't want anyone to know. Our kismet connection is a major complication that could torpedo everything I've worked for...Or this could be the most valuable lesson, ever. 📚🎓 Just a heads up that this isn't fully edited (yet), so you may notice typos or spelling errors! I'm doing my bets (I hope at least some of you got that joke!!) to correct as I go...but you know how it goes, when you get on a roll you sometimes miss things 🙃Complete

"I really should just focus on base-" Adel cut him off while laughing, as she stood up from her place in his bed. "Calm down, Dude. This was a hookup, I'm not gonna confess my unconditional love for you or anything." A cute blush came to his face, before he cracked a smile."W-well okay then." She smiled too, while quickly throwing on her shirt. "Okay then." With that, her hand reached for her phone that sat against his nightstand. Parting her lips, she started to tell him goodbye, until he asked her, "Can I walk you home?"

Altered: Win and Team
"I wanted to remind him of the night we cleared things out. He has all the right to fear especially that we're deviating from the norm. But what is really considered normal? Men before us were in this kind of relationship already. The Romans knew about it. What changed that made our situation different from before? Society has a way of being funny. Evolution has a play in this part. Homosapiens eliminated their previous counterparts in fear of extinction. Not knowing that they were the product of the latter. I wondered who spread this way of thinking about same sex relationships. I'm not quiet sure it was religion. Could it be the opposite sex? In fear that reproduction can be halted? Or could it be a propaganda by a corporation who feared that there would be fewer consumers of their product due to our preferences. We can only wonder." -Phawin We know Dean and Pharm had made a promise to live together after both graduates and get married in New York.

Persephone Incarnate [Wattpad Prize 2014] | ✔️
[COMPLETED - ONLY MINORLY EDITED] ******************************************************** Greek myths - true or false? They should be false, and to 16-year-old Sophie Claire, it's never crossed her mind that they aren't. Until one day in History class when her teacher spends a day on Greek mythology and something strange starts happening - her friends and classmates begin to tell myths about certain Greek deities with frightening precision. And for some reason, she's began to feel a certain affinity for Persephone, the Greek maiden who was kidnapped by Hades, the Lord of the Underworld, and forced into a marriage with him. This isn't some coincidence or freak dream, she later finds out from a host of strange individuals who claim they're from Olympus, the grandoise home of the gods themselves. She is actually a modern reincarnation of the goddess Persephone, and she's not the only one. A few of her classmates also happen to represent the gods and goddesses from popular Greek myths, and the fact that all of them are present means that something monumental is about to happen. Something like being the girl to change Persephone's future, to break the cycle of kidnapper and victim - all by passing a trial. It won't be simple, she knows, and she's not quite that eager to take it up, but from the moment she found out that she was Persephone, there was no way to back out. She should've known, however, that dealing with all powerful, immortal deities wasn't going to be easy. They've got a few secrets and personality flaws up their sleeves, and they could be deadly. More than deadly - murderous.Complete
