The Bride Who Said No: Escaping the Shadows of Yesterday

The report card made it crystal clear-Freya's test score was a big, round zero.

Luna was dumbfounded when she saw it. How in the world did Freya get a zero?

She remembered glancing over at Freya several times during the exam, and Freya was writing away like there was no tomorrow. Even if she did poorly, a zero just didn't add up. Especially since Freya had aced the first day of exams. How could her grades take such a nosedive overnight?

Something was off. Way off.

Luna didn't hesitate and called Freya right away, her voice full of urgency, "Freya! Did you see your test score? How did you end up with a zero? Did you turn in a blank sheet or what?" On the other end, Freya had already checked her results online.

Zero? It seemed Eloise was hell-bent on not letting her graduate. But maybe this was for the best. It proved her suspicions were right.

Meanwhile, over at The Sutton Group headquarters.

Kieran got wind of Freya's test score pronto.

He had seen Freya's answers for the second day. She nearly had a perfect score. Zero was out of the question.
