somewhat better. Demi fell hard for Chauncey Stratton, a college professor, only to be deceived, left heartbroken, and almost unable to graduate. At first, she used him for his money. Chauncey had a glamorous apartment and took Demi wherever she wanted to go, in and outside the country, but then she opened her heart to him. She was a sucker for an intelligent, charming, and older man. He reminded her of her father, from whom she never received love. Until their relationship became sexual, she pretended Chauncey and she were father and daughter when they went out in public. He did not find that amusing. He thought it was sick, and Demi stopped her charades after he told her so.
                  Chauncey taught her many different things about several cultures he studied. Although he was a professor of political science, he was learned in most topics. That was one of the things she first admired about him.

                  WHEN DEMI attended Princeton, she met a professor by the name of Chauncey Stratton. At first, they did not get along well. He would pick on Demi in front of the entire class, making comments about her lack of knowledge concerning politics. He taught political science, and used her to boost his ego. Demi needed to take the course in order to graduate, but she cared nothing about it.
                  One day in class, while Professor Stratton was being a complete asshole, Demi simply spoke her mind about his rude comments and blatant assaults on her intelligence. He seemed to think that because she was a nice-looking young woman, she didn’t have much to offer male society but what was in between her thighs.
                  Demi was one of two women in the male-dominated class, which fueled her even more to prepare herself for the long semester. She researched everything she could find concerning politics, studying the different categories, positions, qualifications, and other aspects, starting the first day Professor Stratton picked on her. When she began speaking about current affairs and other important political events throughout history, Professor Stratton looked both humiliated and proud of her. That was the last time he picked on her, and they connected on a more personal level.

Chauncey’s passion for political science gave her a new perspective on the way the United States’ government, as well as the governments of other countries, worked. She later found out that his family lived in Europe, Paris to be exact, and that would alter her life drastically.
                  One particular day, Demi was at her off-campus apartment that Chauncey had got for her so they could have privacy, when she received some strange mail addressed to him. She decided to open the letter, and that was how she learned of his marriage and the bad news about his son. Chauncey’s wife had been pregnant with a baby boy, slipped and fell down the stairs in their home, suffering a painful miscarriage. Her heart went off to them both, but she was devastated, crushed beyond words about the
