"You have two options Eloise, either you take the trip of your life around the world, or you go to graduate school."

"How charming father really, graduate school it is," Eloise smirked taking a sip of champagne.

"Now why would you want to go on doing that," the father looked up from his daily paper, "James is perfectly willing to travel with you."

Eloise laughed, the sweet sound lightly echoing Club, "The closer I am to James the farther he will be from me, I choose school."

The 1930s experience for most families was that of poverty and strife. But the Dodges were not most people. Living as the elite of Boston they faced other challenges, challenges that would lead them to poverty and strife for future generations.All Rights Reserved

The Premiere Journey to the University, The Rough Ride Experience by AgbesiKofiDerrick

This is a non-fictional anecdote about Agbesi as he was hooked up by the tussles in securing his university education. As he graduated from secondary school, he was very passionate in furthering his tertiary education in order to make his dream as a petroleum engineer come true. Though brilliant, he could not make it to the university that very year he had completed secondary school by virtue of gross financial constraints. Agbesi having known his fate, had to spend a year at home and work for his industrious but impoverished mum and his rich misery surrogate father. Loving his mum so much for her care for the family, he decided to help her in her petty business as against teaching. As the real-life experiences unfold in the story, Agbesi had been stood down from her mother's drinking and food spot business and coerced to embrace his surrogate father's block factory and land-surveying enterprises. Notwithstanding that he earned meagre wages from any of those businesses, he continued saving and finally applied into one of the most prominent public universities in the country and bought a few school items too from the same savings. Finally, when he was about to leave for the university, there arose the issue of paying his academic fees. Through the intervention of two of his benefactors in his secondary school, this dire condition was resolved. All set and done, he was full of gratitude as he set off to his new school.

Felicia by SmlAlwaysOriginal

Her father had always tried the best for everyone, especially his family. All he'd ever wanted wasa pack and family. Felicia never doubted that, but the consequences of his actions takes revenge from her. Will she be able to move past it? Will she be able to find a mate and trust them? Excerpt: This would be the first time in a year I'd gone to town alone. I parked in front of the coffee shop. Walked across to the book shop. I bought one book a couple magazines. Going to the coffee shop I got my latte and sat. I flipped through the national geographic and then pulled out the mystery novel I had bought and started reading. It was hard to concentrate on it. Every time someone moved I jumped. I was finally getting into the book when I felt some one next to me table. I jumped as I looked up and saw a man. He was somewhere near my age, and to my relief, completely human. A human I could break in half, or throw through the wall if I wanted too. They weren't really a threat but I was a little nervous. "Hi, can I help you?" I asked.

Trapped In Love ✓ by StellaAdamsHere

"C- Can you move b- back a little?" My words made him smirk and if it's even possible, he came closer. Why do I always have to stuck between him and the desk?! "Why? Am I making you nervous?" "No." I lied. Ofcourse, he was making me nervous. His eyes had the power to hold a person on his place and that's what his eyes were doing to me. "Really?" He asked, putting his hands on my waist and pulling me closer towards him. On instinct, I put my hands on his chest. I didn't like it. I didn't like the way my body was responding to his touches. "T- This is un- unprofessional." I choked out the words, but I wish I couldn't have. He brought his face closer, so close that I could feel his minty breath on my lips. My lips parted accordingly in shock. "Oh, is it?" He said, mockingly. Oh god! What have I gotten myself into? •••• Aaron Steele, the CEO of the multi billionaire Steele's Company was the eligible bachelor of 25. He always had his way among girls and having blue eyes, a chiseled jaw and a hot body, didn't help either. With new woman on her arms every other day, he was obviously not planning on falling on that cliché word also called love, but would his thoughts of not falling in love still remain the same, after meeting her? Sienna Collins was a girl of 22 with extremely shy personality. After completing her graduation, the only thing in her mind was to get a good job and settle on her own, but what she didn't expected was a job at Steele's Company. This is a story of the innocent and the sinful. Read inside to find out what happens when two persons from exactly opposite worlds collide together. #I would suggest 14+ to read this story as some part in the book contains mature scenes. ~ # 37 in Romance #12 in humor *I am not a grammer nazzy, so there would be grammatical mistakes.*

A Promise To The Beloved...The Threads Of Fate ✓ by Aadyaa_Ariya

"You see him as an heir of your empire and not as a family member. All you care about is the inheritance and not the child. If all you want is an heir then why not marry someone and produce as many heirs as you want." She stopped as she narrowed her eyes at him. And then with a mocking expression she continued, "Or is it that you are unable to Re.Pro.Duce??" seeing the angry flush on his face her heart smiled with satisfaction. But before she could celebrate her little victory against him he pulled her from her wrist and she collided with his hard chest. Snaking an arm around her waist he held her tightly as she struggled in his hold. "Don't play with fire, Ms Lilly Jones or don't complain to me later if you end up getting burned." "I've never hated anyone as much as I hate you." she spitted. "The feelings are mutual then, sweetheart." he smiled. _______________ He married her to fulfil a promise he had made long ago. She was supposed to be a bride in name only, a wife just on papers. Then why he felt an undeniable hunger in him every time she met his gaze. Desiring her wasn't a part of his plans. He has never wanted anything as much as he wanted her. And that's where everything started to take an unexpected turn...

Second No More, a novel by imaginationgirl35

I've dreamed of the perfect marriage ever since I was a little girl: a marriage complete with a hardworking husband while I tended to the home and our children, preferably four little rugrats to call my own. I dreamed of a life filled with laughter, joy, and success, a life we built together. I dreamed of growing old next to my husband, creating a great love story to tell our grandchildren someday. It all seemed so possible. I was raised to be the perfect wife, after all. From the outside, it seemed I had exactly what I dreamed of with the rich, determined husband; the brilliant, gaudy diamond ring; and the beautiful home filled with the hope of future children. Yes, it was all a dream come true. I should have felt grateful, really. The problem is, I also wanted a marriage based on love, passion, and affection, but those are the only things my husband cannot give me . . . . . . because they're reserved for her.

My Lucky Star (Complete) by LimhannyDong

There are two stories in this book. #1. My Lucky Star What would you do to change your fate? Pray with all your heart. Then give all your bad luck to someone who really care for you. Would you be able to do that? That's what little Daniel did to his childhood friend. Maybe the bad luck made her crossed dressed into male clothes half of her life. Or maybe the freedom given by the clothes. In the end, it's Jules' choice ***** Jules says, "People said a Lady is weak and helpless. They certainly never met me." She adds, "My name is Jules Knight. I'm my own savior. I don't need a man like you to solve all my problems." What crossed her male friend's minds... "Hard to win her heart. She is even more gentleman than I." "You taught me to accept flaws. There's beauty in imperfection. You crossed over and tossed my life upside down. Now I could no longer return to my old life." "She is like my evil twin. We devoured desserts in all the shops we ventured." #2. It started with a LIE "It's okay. Think of this marriage as a simple way to end our problems. Three years later, we shall abolish it. You would have a chance to marry the Lady you love." Ian stares her with unblinking eyes. Abby is a beautiful Lady. Not lacking suitors. He asks, "What did you get from this marriage?" "Freedom. Father is very ill. He wanted me to marry before he died. I don't want him to arrange my marriage with a stranger. At least we are childhood friends." "What if he didn't die in three years?" "It doesn't matter. My beloved would come by that time. He would take me away, far from England." One simple lie. It started their marriage in the wrong path. "Tris, my love for you is never a lie."

The Trap (Trapped Prequel) by BeverleyKendall

Looking back, I should have seen it coming. Paige didn’t like that I went so far away to university. But it was going to only be for two years. She'd join me after she did her two years at community college. I thought we could swing that no problem. We were solid. But she hated the distance. She hated not seeing me every day. She complained that I didn’t come home enough. She hated that for months on end, texting and phone calls were our only form of communication. It wasn’t enough. She'd ask about the girls on campus. She’d gotten it into her head that girls were always making a play for me. I laughed and told her, even if that were true, I’d never cheat on her. She didn't seem completely reassured by that. The bottom line is, Paige thought she was losing me. She wanted me home with her. But I could never imagine the level she'd sink to—the trap she’d set to make that happen. And like an idiot I walked right into it. And it’s a mistake I'm going to have to pay for the rest of my life.

The Billionaire's Daughter by Dip076

Sheltered in great wealth, kindness and love, the world seems almost too perfect for Audrey Duvée Dane's liking yet with all this she's trapped in blissful frustration as she longs for the real world. But as the daughter of Michael Dane, an insanely famous billionaire, it is only normal that she is given an exaggerated amount of kindness by most people and sometimes its quite undeserving and very cunning. As if Audrey's lucky stars have heard her, all this will change when Radar Kales- a juvenile- is accepted into the Dane's Manor as a long time guest. With his dirty mouth and maybe a little attitude to add with it he MIGHT just satisfy her in maybe one to many ways.... But how will this happen? I mean come on, people. Its a juvenile and the billionaire's daughter we're talking about here! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ SNEEK PEEK "AH!!!" I let out a scream stumbling down on the rug. There's a person on my freakin' balcony! "AHHHH!!!" My eyes scan from his dark hair down to his shoes. We definitely haven't met before. "AHHH!!!!" I look back up to see his handsome face. "AHHH!!!!" Oh mi gosh he is so hot! Well, that's what my last scream was for. I shut my mouth looking at him in both horror and awe. Who the heck is he? He points inside my room and I shake my head. No way am I letting him in. He taps on the window with his hand then points to my desk. Slowly, I get up from the floor and look to see my phone buzzing. Oh mi gosh, its dad! I look up to him with wide eyes hoping his other mates didn't take my daddy. Instantly, I pick my phone up with fear prickling all over my skin. "DADDY! Oh mi gosh, are you all right? Did they take you? Are you hurt? Where are you? Oh mi gosh, dad is this you? There's a boy by my window! I promise dad he's not my boyfriend and he's by my freaking window!" ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ BTW, there's a bit comedy in it... that is, if you laugh easily O.o
