The phone vibrated on Amelia's desk, and she didn't even flinch. She knew it was coming. The call was from Finch’s lawyer. She had spent the last two months meticulously comparing her unpublished novel to Finch's latest novel. And the similarities were undeniable.

She picked up the phone, her voice surprisingly steady, considering the seismic shift in her life. She listened intently as the lawyer outlined the accusations. All the while, a slow smile spread across her face. This was it.

She felt a giddy sense of power, a quiet contentment spreading through her.
