The injustice tasted bitter on Fiona's tongue. Her song, "Diamond Tears," had become a global hit, but under the name of the acclaimed musician, Kai. A wave of nausea rolled over her.

She decided to take Kai's success and strip it bare.

Fiona started sending emails to Kai's record label, anonymously pointing out the blatant plagiarism. She sent the email to the media, the same email. She leaked the information to every music blog she could find. She had a copy of her song sent to every critic she knew.

She reveled in the growing scandal, watching Kai's career crumble under the weight of his actions. She knew it would be a slow fall, but she had all the time in the world.
