Under the celebration party spotlight, Pop King Leo publicly announced his backup singer Chloe as the "co-producer" of his newest hit single. Backstage, he stuffed a $100,000 check into Maya's hand. "It's just to pave the way for her," he justified, ignoring that his girlfriend had spent half a month writing that exact song. "You don't like the spotlight anyway." Maya simply replied, "I understand," before returning to the studio to delete every source file from the server. The price was absolute: she was erasing all proof of her five years of blood and sweat behind his platinum records, choosing to start entirely from zero. As Leo texted her about shopping for their engagement ring, he had no idea the timestamped original masters were already secured in her offline drive.
