Luna’s follower count on X surged by half a million overight. Prominent music critics lavished her album with praise.
Kaia knew better. Alfly Entertainment had likely funneled a fortune into the hype.
With enough money, anyone halfway decent could be a star, at least for a fleeting moment.
Fans raved, calling Luna a “musical fairy” with a honey–sweet voice, piling on every flattering word they could muster.
One X post gushed: [Alfly Entertainment’s going all in for a rookie? She’s gotta be great. Her new track’s a total hit!]
Another added: [Rookie? Nah, she’s Alfly’s future boss‘ wife. This big push is just Alden’s flashy engagement gift.]
Kaia scrolled past, her jaw tightening. She finally saw why Jimmy had bailed.
He could win the lawsuit, but crossing a giant like Alfly Entertainment might bury his career, no matter how brilliant his songs were,
That was the brutal truth of this industry.

Lucien reviewed the files his assistant sent, piecing together the whole story.
Calvin’s words echoed in his mind, stirring unease. Was Kaia’s grudge against Lana fueled by jealousy over Alden?
The next day, Kaia threw herself into a Graves Group merger case. Just before clocking out, her phone rang. To her surprise, it was Jimmy,
“Ms. Domont, sorry to bother you. Got time tonight? I want to revisit that plagiarism issue,” he said.
Kaia raised an eyebrow. She hadn’t expected him to flip again. “I’m tied up until later. Can we meet at eight in the café downstairs from my firm?”
“Works for me,” Jimmy replied.
As she hung up, a trending topic caught her eye. She instantly understood why Jimmy was back.
My Fate’s plagiarism scandal had shot to the top of the charts.
Without Alfly’s heavy promotion yesterday, most people wouldn’t have known Luna or her song,
But the buzz had built just enough familiarity. When the scandal broke, it hooked everyone’s attention.

A well–known music critic sharply pointed out multiple similarities between My Fate and Fourteen Bridges, bluntl calling it plagiarism.

Since Luna was credited as the sole writer and composer, she was thrust into the eye of the storm.
Kaia was puzzled. A powerhouse like Alfly Entertainment should’ve had a crack PR team to squash this.
Letting the topic trend for two hours? That didn’t add up.
The comments were brutal. With Luna’s fanbase mostly manufactured, no real supporters stepped up to defend her.
Her X page was flooded with over five thousand scathing remarks before comments were disabled.
Kaia wrapped up her work and arrived at the café right at eight.
“Ms. Domont, you’re here,” Jimmy greeted.
Kaia nodded. “Mr. Moore, sorry to keep you waiting.”
“You’re here about the trending topic, right?” she asked.
Jimmy gave a firm nod, “Exactly. Ms. Domont, you probably guessed it. Alfly Entertainment’s lawyers came to me, hinting that if I pushed forward, I’d lose a friend and gain a powerful

enemy. I backed off, took their fifty grand in hush money, and called it quits.”
His voice trembled with anger. “But after I agreed, they turned around and accused me of extortion. This morning, they dragged me to the police station. I was literally shaking with rage. How can people be so shameless?”
Kaia’s brow arched. She’d underestimated how far Alden would go to shield Luna.
She also hadn’t expected him to resort to such despicable tactics.
“So I thought it over. I’m done backing down. I’m taking Alfly Entertainment to court. I already returned their money.”
Kaia zeroed in on the key detail. “What did the police say?”
“I lost it today,” Jimmy admitted. “Right in front of the cops, I laid out the whole story and wired the money back on the spot. They gave me a lecture and let me go.”
Kaia nodded. It seemed Alfly just wanted their payout back.
“So that critic who sparked the trend–you reached out to them?” she asked.
“Yup,” Jimmy confirmed.
Ten years in the industry had earned him some connections.

“I just didn’t expect Alfly to let the story blow up like that,” he added.
