The lawyer’s office felt like a pressure cooker. David paced back and forth, the polished floor reflecting his agitated movements. His fists were clenched, muscles bulging. The attorney, a man with a perpetually calm demeanor, kept repeating the legal options, but David barely heard him.

"Unauthorized publication," the lawyer droned, "Defamation, invasion of privacy..." The words were meaningless against the raw, visceral feeling that coursed through him. A burning sensation spread from his chest, tightening his throat.

He wanted to scream. He wanted to break something. The sheer audacity, the blatant disregard for his life, made his blood boil. He stopped pacing, his gaze fixed on the picture of the lawyer's family on the wall. He would fight this.
