Over the years, her life had narrowed to serving her ex-husband Den and his family.


    She had traded her promising future for a loveless marriage, a decision she now regretted.


    Lost in thoughts of the past, she drifted off to sleep.


    Come morning, she dressed meticulously.


    From her apartment, conveniently rented from Brayden, Halliday University was a mere ten-minute walk.


    Arriving half an hour early, she inhaled the campus air and felt invigorated.


    She observed students hustling towards their morning study sessions, some munching on bread as they ran.


    A softugh escaped her lips.


    Ah, the vibrance of young campus Life.


    Just as she turned to head to the teaching building, a voice rang out.


    “Oh, my God! Hannah! What are you doing at my school?”


    Abruptly, a force yanked her back by the shoulder, forcing her to spin around.


    Upon seeing Hannah’s face, Sadie’s aggression intensified.


    “Do you realize the pain you’ve caused my brother and me? You humiliated us, making us publicly apologize to the Mitchell family.


    Do you know how mortifying that was?”


    With her hands on her hips, Sadie scanned Hannah disdainfully and sneered, “And now you dare to show up here?”

    Shrugging off Sadie’s grip, Hannah was in no mood for confrontations.


    She turned to leave, but Sadie persisted, blocking her path.


    Sadie scoffed, “Feeling guilty, huh? nning to run? The security must be blind to let just anyone wander in.Exclusive ? content by N(?)ve/l/Drama.Org.


    ”


    Sadie’s attitude toward Hannah had always been condescending, belittling her due to her background.


    “You think you can sneak around the university? nning on going to college through some self-study exams? Don’t kid yourself.


    Once my brother divorces you, what are you? An ex-con.


    Do you think you’re smart enough to go to college? You’d be living off my brother’s money!”


    Sadie’s words were caustic, far removed from the decorum you’d expect from a university student.


    Hannah had enduredments Like this at home before, but she wouldn’t any longer.


    “If Halliday University is filled with students like you,cking any real character or education, then this institution doesn’t have a bright future.


    ”


    Hannah’s calm retort stung Sadie, making her voice rise in pitch.


    “What did you just say? How dare you talk back to me?”


    Sadie noticed Hannah had grown bolder since leaving her brother.


    She used to be submissive!


    The change in Hannah’s attitude toward her made her even more overbearing.
