Chapter 3 - Westbrook Academy Sends An Urgent Tuition Default Notice
The morning sun cast a bright, deceptive glow across the manicured lawns of Daniel’s upscale suburban neighborhood.
Inside the master bedroom, Daniel’s smartphone buzzed violently against the mahogany nightstand at precisely 7:00 AM.
He groaned, rolling over to swipe the screen open, expecting his usual corporate newsletters or golf club invites.
Instead, a high-priority email notification from Westbrook Academy’s administrative office glared back at him.
“Urgent: Tuition payment for Liam Ellis has failed; enrollment status is currently suspended pending immediate resolution.”
Daniel sat straight up in bed, rubbing his eyes to make sure he wasn't hallucinating the digital text.
He nudged Emily awake, his voice laced with sudden, sharp panic.
