Secret Code (ON-GOING)

At Ethiopic University, rank grants privilege, respect, and authority; grades and merit define your worth, cheating is a sin, and the Secret Code is the one truth no student dares to uncover. But for Athena, answers are louder than fear. What is the Secret Code, and why did Professor Aldwin warn them that its meaning could destroy not only their lives, but reality itself? Pulled into the mysteries lurking in her university, students disappearing, the unexplained flows of government funds, and a trail of blood everyone ignores... Athena finds herself trapped in the heart of a case that refuses to end. Later, she meets Drake. The most unpredictable guy whose shifting personality unsettles her, yet it fascinates her more than she admits. The deeper she learns about him, the further she is pulled into the tangled web of his past memories and secrets that bind them all. Together, they chase the truth, even as every discovery brings them closer to danger. But the most dangerous secret of all is not the Code, nor the crimes, nor the students who vanish without a trace. And the more Athena investigates, the closer she gets to a truth that could shatter everything she holds dear. Will she be able to unravel the Secret Code? Or will her curiosity lead her down a path from which there is no return, where betrayal and danger lurk at every turn? Adults insist they are all family; siblings bound by a single mother. But is that really the truth, or have they been programmed to believe it? And in a place like this, no one ever comes back to tell the story after knowing what the code is. "Do you want to know what the Secret Code is? You'll never find out if you're a straight student. Shh."
