The courtroom felt stuffy, the air thick with tension. Amelia, a freelance journalist, had spent years working on a groundbreaking investigative piece, only to see it published, virtually unchanged, in a major national magazine, under a different author’s name. Her heart hammered against her ribs.

The injustice was staggering. Yet, alongside the anger, a peculiar sense of… opportunity. She saw the other journalist's career, her future, all within her grasp.

Amelia would make sure this other journalist made the cover of every magazine. The next magazine, the magazine she worked for.
