To Obtain Prestige
Would you sell your soul to have everything you've ever wanted? Would you choose yourself over your best friend? Your family? When Marcus, Prince of Denmark, is caught in a highly-publicized scandal involving his ex-girlfriend and ex-best friend and cousin, he's forced to escape into anonymity until it blows over... But when his parents send him to NYC to the private, prestigious, and ultra-exclusive Weishaupt University along with his advisor Chauncey to chaperone, Marcus isn't pleased. While discretion is guaranteed, due to the super-strict NDA every Weishaupt student is required to sign, it doesn't outweigh the fact that studying in America means delaying his graduation a year. His feelings shift after finding out that Elena Vargas, the iconic American pop star he's adored for years, has taken a career hiatus to enroll at Weishaupt. When their friend groups intertwine and Marcus finds Elena showing interest in him as well, things feel too good to be true... However, in the small circle where the sons and daughters of politicians and barons roam, Marcus' trust issues are triggered as he unravels a string of secrets his parents and Chauncey hid from him from when they attended Weishaupt, including a secret society they not only were a part of, but created - twenty-five years ago. Desperate for answers and seeking to understand his family better, Marcus discovers, with the help of his conspiracy theorist new friend, that there is something more sinister going on at Weishaupt, and that coincidences are no such thing - everything at this private college is calculated, and no one has been honest with him since he'd arrived...starting with his own family.Complete

But somewhere between the lies we told ourselves, we found something we never expected to feel-something dangerous, the truth ." Love was a luxury I never sought, never allowed myself to want. I built walls so high, pushing people away to keep them safe, only letting a few in for fleeting moments of pleasure. But when her parents demand an arranged marriage to unite our families, my father has no choice but to agree. Defy them, and we risk everything. I knew her already-knew the way the sun made her skin glow, the way her curly brown hair danced with every step she took. But did I like her? That was a whole different question. Our families' hatred ran deep, centuries of bloodshed and betrayal fueling the fire that had burned between us for as long as I could remember.

Now, fate has forced us into a marriage neither of us wanted. It feels like a foreign limb, an unwanted tumor growing at my side, suffocating every ounce of freedom I had. The question is-can we both survive this? Or will one of us end up broken, shattered by the weight of what we never asked for? But somewhere along the way, the impossible happened: I fell for her. Completely. Undoubtedly. And now, I don't know if we'll make it out alive... or if we'll destroy each other in the process.Complete
