After everyone was dismissed from the judgment hearing, Jane and I made our way out of the courtroom. She took my arm and whispered, “I know this wasn’t what we expected, Evie, but remember, it’s uncontrollable most times. The truth will come out.”

I nodded, my thoughts heavy with the weight of the decision made in that courtroom. My life was about to change in ways I couldn’t anticipate. As we exited the courthouse, I felt a sense of vulnerability I hadn’t felt before.

The last thing I had expected was for the case to go federal, which meant more media buzz.

The moment I stepped outside, the flashing of cameras and the cacophony of voices hit me like a tidal wave. The paparazzi, like vultures to a fresh kill, swarmed around me. Questions were thrown at me from every direction.

“Evie, why are you going against the man who made your career?”

“Are you doing this for publicity, Evie?”

My voice was firm, and my words cut through the chaos. “I climbed the ladder in this industry by being good at what I do, and I’ll be damned if I let that awful man ruin another woman’s career.

After that moment, the message reverberated through the media like a shockwave. Headlines and breaking news alerts quickly spread across every platform. “Evie Sinclair Takes a Stand Against Erickson,” “Ex–Lawyer Defends Her Integrity,” and “The Truth Unveiled.” The reactions were instantaneous and divisive.

Some of my own fans showed up in interviews, expressing their unwavering support for me. They claimed they had never believed the lies about me, and that this was nothing more than a media circus. Their angry voices added fuel to the already blazing fire.

“I’ve followed Erickson’s career for years, and I never once thought he was capable of what they’re accusing him.
