Brittany stepped out of Grace’s room, feeling the quietness of the house settle around her. Daniel had already retreated to his own sanctum upstairs.

She descended the stairs, noting the absence of Joie, who had evidently slipped away while everyone else was preoccupied.

In the kitchen, Brittany warmed herself a mug of milk, a comforting ritual before heading back up to her room.

But the next morning came with an abrupt awakening.

Her phone’s shrill ringtone pierced the silence. Groggily, Brittany answered. “Hello?”

“Ms. Dustin, we’ve got a situation.”

Brittany was instantly alert. “What’s going on? The studio or the office?”

“Neither. It’s Joie.”

Brittany was puzzled.

“Joie leaked a video last night, showing moments of her alone with Mr. Salter,” the assistant hesitated before adding, “there were also some suggestive scenes.”

These voices were quickly drowned out by Joie’s fans, who launched a virtual onslaught, driving the dissenters almost to the point of making their accounts private.

Brittany closed the app, realizing the call was still connected. She cleared her throat, “I
