Chapter 44

• The following days were a blur of headlines and accusations. Every time Sienna turned on her phone or walked past a newsstand, there was Inara’s scandal plastered on the front pages and trending on social media. “Popstar’s Secret Romance Exposed!” “Leaked Tour Dates Confirm Relationship!” The media circus dissected every detail of the incident, and every article hinted at an insider source. It didn’t take long for the clues to lead back to Lowe Printify—specifically, to Sienna.
• She felt trapped, the walls closing in as the narrative spun out of her control. It didn’t matter how much she protested her innocence. The damage was done, and the world had already made up its mind.

Her lawyer, a no-nonsense woman her brothers had somehow arranged, sat beside her. Across the table was the company’s legal team, their expressions unreadable.
