The discovery left Amelia numb. Her screenplay, “Echoes in the Valley,” was now the basis for the critically acclaimed film by the celebrated director, Lucian Thorne. The details were too precise, the characters too identical. She felt a profound emptiness.

She decided to make herself indispensable to Thorne.

Amelia got a job as Thorne's assistant, acting deferential and helpful. She learned his schedule, his preferences, his weaknesses. She ensured that he never missed a meeting, and managed to charm his assistant. She knew his routine, and the places he frequented.

She leaked a "rumor" to the tabloids about Thorne's alcoholism, and his history of creative borrowing. It would be a slow burn. The story would take time to develop. She'd watch the destruction happen, piece by piece. She would be there, helping him along the way, to make sure the process was as difficult as possible.
