Sarah always believed her college fund was safe, a promise from her grandmother to secure her future. But one day, a glance at her bank app revealed the account nearly empty. Only her parents had access, and her heart sank knowing someone close had taken the money meant for her education.

Confronting her mother, Sarah learned the truth: the college fund had been spent on her brother’s wedding. Her mother dismissed her anger, insisting weddings are once-in-a-lifetime moments and college could wait. Sarah felt betrayed, realizing her dreams were sacrificed without her consent, while her brother remained unaware and unconcerned.
