"Let's teach her a lesson she won't forget," Rohan growled, a predatory glint in his eyes. "And make sure she knows who's really in charge around here."

With grim determination, they dispersed, each member of the group plotting their own role in exacting revenge on Akaida. Little did she know, she had just made a powerful enemy in Rohan and his cohorts, and they were prepared to make her pay dearly for her defiance.

As Akaida settled into her seat in the lecture hall, her mind still buzzing with the encounter with Rohan and his group, she tried to focus on the task at hand. The professor's voice droned on, introducing the course material and outlining the semester's objectives.

Suddenly, the professor's attention turned to Akaida, drawing the gaze of the entire class towards her. "And now, I'd like to introduce a new student joining us today. Please welcome Akaida Singh Rajvansh."

A ripple of curiosity swept through the room as Akaida stood up, feeling the weight of their collective scrutiny upon her. Despite the unease gnawing at her, she squared her shoulders and met their stares head-on.

The professor continued, oblivious to the tension in the air. "Akaida comes to us with an impressive academic record and a keen interest in the subject matter. I'm sure she'll be a valuable addition to our class."

As Akaida acknowledged the professor's words with a polite nod, she couldn't help but feel a sense of isolation amidst the sea of unfamiliar faces. She was accustomed to standing out, but this was different. Here, in this academic setting, she was just another student, stripped of the power and influence she wielded in the outside world.

Taking a deep breath, Akaida resolved to prove herself in this new environment, to excel academically and earn the respect of her peers on her own merits. With that determination fueling her, she turned her attention back to the lecture, ready to immerse herself in the challenges and opportunities that lay ahead.

As Akaida gathered her belongings and prepared to leave the college campus, her phone buzzed with an incoming call. With a slight frown, she glanced at the caller ID and saw it was her personal assistant, Advika.

"Hello, Advika. What's the matter?" Akaida answered, her tone crisp and businesslike.

"Mam, I have some urgent news," Advika replied, her voice tinged with concern. "It's about Eclipse."

Akaida's heart skipped a beat at the mention of her beloved pet. "What about Eclipse? Is he okay?"

"He's fine, but there's been a slight complication," Advika explained quickly. "The transportation company that was bringing him here had an unexpected delay, and now they're unable to deliver him to the mansion. They're asking if you could pick him up yourself."

Akaida's brow furrowed in frustration. She had a busy schedule ahead of her, and she hadn't planned on making the trip herself. However, Eclipse's safety was paramount to her, and she wasn't about to leave him stranded.

"Very well, Advika. Send me the location, and I'll take care of it," Akaida replied, her tone decisive.

"Understood, Mam. I'll send you the details right away," Advika confirmed before ending the call.

With a sigh, Akaida pocketed her phone and headed towards the parking lot. Despite the inconvenience, she couldn't help but feel a sense of anticipation at the thought of reuniting with Eclipse. He was more than just a pet; he was her loyal companion and confidant, and she would go to any lengths to ensure his well-being.

As Akaida arrived at the designated location, her eyes scanned the surroundings until they landed on a large crate placed on the ground. Standing nearby were the handlers from the transportation company, who looked relieved at her arrival.
