Adams University was a place people dreamed of entering and never questioned once inside. Its halls rewarded obedience, excellence, and silence in equal measure. Generations had passed through its gates carrying ambition and leaving pieces of themselves behind.
When Sophia Adams finally returned, it wasn't just an heiress reclaiming her place. It was as a daughter who had been kept away for her own protection and had chosen to come back anyway. One year of refusal had not softened her resolve. It had sharpened it.
The university had changed since her mother's time. Or perhaps it had learned how to hide better.
Power still moved through whispered conversations and locked doors. Revered names still ruled from the shadows. And truths still came at a cost.
Sophia didn't come to tear the institution down.
She came to find the hands that broke her mother and make sure they could never reach anyone again.
