Love Burned, She Rose Unscathed novel Chapter 268

When Millie decided to drop out of college, it was with a couple of significant reasons in mind. First, she wanted more time to focus on her pregnancy, and second, she wanted to devote her attention to Murray, her fiance from a wealthy background.

For Millie, the prospect of marrying into affluence made her collegiate pursuits seem trivial. Why bother with textbooks and lectures when she was about to step into a life of luxury?

So, come Monday, Millie headed to the administration office to hand in her withdrawal paperwork, citing health reasons for her departure—a process she expected to be quick and straightforward.

Since she was already on campus, Millie decided it was as good a time as any to clear out her dorm room. It was a Monday afternoon, a time when her classes were typically not in session, so she made her way there, finding her roommates all gathered inside.

It had been a while since Millie had last visited the dorm. Though she had left most of her belongings there, her presence had become rare.

Her sudden appearance caught her roommates by surprise.

"Millie, what brings you back? I thought you were staying at your boyfriend's place," one asked.

"Forgot something here? Just text us next time. We could have Ubered it over to you," another added.

With a slight smirk and a lift of her chin, Millie announced, "I'm here to pack up my things. I've decided to drop out."

Dressed in a newly released Chanel sweater and Burberry trench coat, with a Hermes bag gifted by Beverley in hand, Millie exuded an air of sophistication and wealth. Her demeanor screamed of someone who belonged in high society, leaving her roommates in awe.

Yvette, who was closest to Millie, was taken aback by her decision. "Dropping out is a big deal, Millie. Please don't be hasty."

The others nodded in agreement. "Yeah, dropping out is permanent. You'll lose your student status. If you regret it later..."

"Regret? What's there to regret?" Millie scoffed. "I've made up my mind. There's no turning back."
