-----------------
She had never imagined walking these halls.
Marble floors stretched endlessly beneath crystal chandeliers, polished so perfectly they reflected a world she didn't belong to.
But here she was - heels clicking against the marble, announcing her presence with each step.
Not a legacy.
Not wealth.
Just a scholarship earned through fire and grit.
The cafeteria fell silent.
Not a whisper.
Not a laugh.
Just the echo of her heels against the cold floor.
Her eyes scanned the room until they automatically landed on a table that made her pause.
Every occupant was staring. Measuring. Judging.
Ethan Blackwood's smile faltered the second his grey eyes found hers. Viktoria, perched on his lap, froze mid-laugh, following his gaze instinctively.
Lucas Bennett leaned back, calm on the surface, but something sharp glinted in his eyes - curiosity, caution, or something else she couldn't yet read.
Julian Cross tilted his head, one eyebrow raised, as if trying to decode her with a single look.
Marcus appeared detached, sipping his drink like he didn't care - but his eyes betrayed him.
And Noah Sinclair... Noah's gaze slid over her slowly, the kind that made her skin tingle and pulse at the same time.
For a heartbeat, the world held its breath.
And Cassandra? She held hers too.
But One thing was clear.
She wasn't going to let this place intimidate her.
She refused to bow.
Not now. Not ever.
