"SO WHAT EXACTLY do you have planned?"

"I have an idea," Luca said awkwardly, rubbing the back of his neck, "but you guys aren't going to like it."

They all sighed as the leaned back into the couch. Luca stood in front of them as Amina, Jacob, and Bella sat on the large couch looking at him patiently.

It was a late Friday night, the four adults huddled in Luca's living room as they waited for Luca to explain the plan he'd been keeping to himself for the past few hours.

"I'm gonna go on live." he stated.

"Live?" Bella looked between Jacob and him confused. "Why not on a news channel?" She let out a bitter laugh, turning fully to Luca, "or at that, just take Brandy to court and let the public find out from the media."

"They could cut it off air or ask me questions that have nothing to do with what I came there for." Luca disagreed, shaking his head. "And if I just took Brandy to court I'll bet a million dollars he'll pay off everyone and everything to keep my case off of air and as far away from media."

Bella rolled her eyes. "That's not possible. The reason why you're taking him to court is Because sexually assaulted and raped you for years. He can't his that from media."

Luca nodded his head in agreement. "That's true, but he's my conservator. Knowing him he'll try to say I'm unfit and unhealthy to be going to court."

"So instagram is your way of telling everyone? No ones done that before." Jacob quickly injected in disbelief, "and at that, Brandy could say you're having a manic state and in need of help."

"Which means no court nor escaping him," Bella continued for Jacob. "No justice."

"They're not going to believe you, Luca." Bella whispered, looking down at her hand sadly.

He raised an eyebrow at her. "Why do you say that?"

She looked up at him in disbelief. "We have no proof that Brandy did anything to us."

Luca remembered many times Brandy would manipulate him into believing he had blending against him but his puny word that no one would believe. That Luca Jackson was a child in a man body and Bran day was a god that no one would ever believe could do anything evil or bad. That his word meant nothin when it comes to Brandy's power and reputation in Hollywood-like Luca's word wasn't good enough to believe in. But he knew that wasn't the truth-after years of believing Brandy Luca finally realized that brandy made Luca fear him because Brandy feared Luca's word.

The god of Hollywood had a fear, and it came in the form of the people he manipulated and hurt.

"We have our word."

"None of the other artists are going to speak out," Bella tried to reason. "They're all too afraid of Brandy and what he could do."

"Maybe," Jacob quickly corrected. "But you have to remember seeing Luca tell his story could give someone hope and strength to tell theirs."

Luca nodded his head in agreement. "He isn't going to be the puppet master anymore. My story is coming out and so are others if they want it to."

Amina quickly sat up. "What about Noah?"

"He called me yesterday." He admitted lowly. "He said he's going to get a restraining order in Brandy and his mom wants to drop their contract."

The boy explained to Luca over the past two hours how he told his mom what happened and the both of them decided to bring the police into it. He had asked for Luca's advice, but Luca of course said he supported him no matter what he chose to do.

"You're serious?"

Luca nodded his head as Jacob quickly cut in, "my dads a smart bastard." He bitterly chuckled, "he'll make up a story about you manipulating Noah into lying."

"He could," Luca causally said, shrugging. "But do you honestly think people will believe that once a restraining order for sexual assault and then charges from a different artists come out?"

Bella raised an eyebrows confused. "Why are you so nonchalant about this?"

Luca couldn't help but laugh. "I'm realizing how much he installed fear in all of us." Bella's face quickly fell as she frowned. "He can't do shit to us anymore!" He clarified loudly, waving his hands up in the air. "He doesn't control us!"

"Technically, he still controls you." Jacob added in slowly. "He's still your conservator, Luca."

Luca snapped his fingers as he pointed to Jacob. "And that's exactly why I'm doing it on live."

Understanding washed over Jacobs face. "Because Brandy won't be able to control what you say until you post the video." Jacob concluded in relief.

"I'll have over a million views within three minutes, he'll most likely try to delete it within the first two minutes but twitter would surely have screen recorded it by then." Luca explained with a smirk, "I won't have to schedule an appointment on a show that Brandy would surely find out about."

Amina quickly grabbed Luca's hand. "Luca, this could end badly for you. Are you sure?"

"More than anything," Luca admitted as he squeezed her hand tightly. "Besides, it can't get much worse than this." He teased, which resulted in Amina punching his side.

Bella rolled her eyes at his words. "What are you going to do?"

"I'm putting a restraining order on him, charging him with sexual assault and I want to leave the label." Luca explained.

He knew this would take years to get in action, but the number one thing he wanted to get through were Noah's changed against Brandy. Once his were done for Luca wanted his restraining order in place as well and then the rest would just be extra hope added to his dark environment.

"The sexual assault charge is going to be the hardest one to go through." Bella swallowed slowly. "You know that right?"

He knew Bella was nervous for him, but he also knew she wasn't just nervous for him. He could tell she wanted to help him, but he nor were anyone else going to push her into telling her story. Luca knew whenever Bella was ready, he and the rest of society and their friends would support her no matter what. She was giving Luca realistic answered and question, things he didn't think about answering or questioning. He needed to have an open. One in this situation; and needed to make sure he knew what he was getting himself into.

"I do," he mimicked her action. "But whatever happens I'll know I told my story the way it happened, not the way Brandy wants people to think."

"It's just going to be you then?" Jacob questioned curiously. "Not anyone else going against my-Brandy?"

Luca knew telling his story could bring other artists or people to tell their stories about Brandy. It was a chance, but Luca wasn't too sure if anyone would. Brandy installed fear in everyone he hurt. He destroyed everyone he let under his wing, but no Luca was goi to prove to the people like him that Brandy didn't weaken them, he made them stronger.

Brandy Manning was no longer the devil in their lives, they were his.

"I am."

Luca quickly looked at Bella wide eyed. "What?"

Everyone in the room stared at Bella with different expressions. Amina looked at her with a look of shock and confusion, while Luca stared at her in utter shock, and Jacob gave her nothing but a proud smile a glazed eyes.

"I'll do it," she clarified louder, giving Luca deadpanned look. "I'll go to trial against him too."

"Are you sure Bella? This isn't something-"

"I want to." she admitted. She swallowed slowly as she folded her hands across her lap. "You're right, Luca, he doesn't have control over us anymore." Jacob and Bella share a look before he took her folded hand and brought the back of it to his lips. Luca cringed slightly. "But we're not doing a live."

"Why not?"

"Make a videos and post it on all your social media's."

"No!" Luca automatically denied. "No way I'm posting on Twitter directly."

"Twitter will take this seriously and will bring the kind of light you need for court, Luca."

Did she not know Twitter?

Twitter es the most toxic social media platform for celebrities or anyone for that matter. No one would take Luca's situation seriously because they'd think Brandy Manning could never stale and assault his artist or a man couldn't get raped by another. He'd seen it go down on twitter before, no one ever believed the victim, it was always the offender they chose to side with. Worst case swim times they'd just tweet like they cared but in reality gave up the next day and started looking for new drama to five into rather than the person trying to have their story told and shared.

"They'll find the proof about what Brandy did to you," Bella quickly added in, "They'll finally see the signs once you tell them."

"Twitter taking this seriously?" Luca scoffed bitterly. "Please."

"Come on don't say that."

"Twitter is the embodiment of toxicity!" Luca exclaimed. "I post that video I'll get cancelled in a mili second. No one will believe me, because once we're canceled on twitter no one will want to hear out story."

"Come on, Luca." Amina tried to ease.

"Imagine this, a tweet saying but men can't get raped." Luca said, moving his hands in the air. "Or even better, 'Brandy Manning wouldn't do that. Brandy Manning is such a DILF .' and show a fucking video edit of some Kpop group."

"But twitter has the biggest audience, Luca." Jacob rushed in. "All people will do on Instagram is go to twitter to see what people are saying about what's happening." Jacob stood up from his spot as walked in front of Luca. "Use twitter to your advantage."

Twitter was never in anyone's advantage. The user es where cold hearted and toxic towards anyone but themselves. They placed celebrities on top, and one small mishaps they didn't like they'd cancel the person without a second thought or apology. The people they fear e to be ventless and stopped say of their money never were, it was always the innocent people who were wrongly accused.

It was a toxic social media platform that people knew was toxic but didn't bother to do anything to change it. People let celebrities get cancelled left and right and watched them stay in the high hierarchy as if they didn't have a problematic past. Twitter was a pro and con itself, but to the good celebrities it was a chance of having their career be done for with the snap of the people's fingers and for the guilty to just laugh as they stayed comfortable in their mansions.

He wanted to be strong enough to know people would support him and not try and chance Luca for telling his story. He was taking a huge chance in this. His story was in the palm of twitters hands and if they crushed it they crushed him and his freedom along with it.

"So just a video?"

Bella and Jacob share a look. "Just a video." Jacob quickly added, "it'll most likely get deleted, but people will no doubt screen record and repost it everywhere."

"I'm going to have to tell everyone I'm taking brandy to court for rape charges in less than three minutes?"

"Make two videos back to back," Jacob explained. "They'll keep up with the story once you take him to court."

Luca nodded his head as he turned fully to bella. "Do we make a video together or separate?"

Bella smiled, stretching her arm out as she grabbed his hand. "We're in this together." she smiled at Jacob and Amina. "We all are."

Jacob whooped loudly as he attacked Luca's side as Amina and Bella laughed and told up simultaneously. Both woman walk in front of them as they both wrapped their arms around each others Luca sighed, smiling into Amina's shoulder.

This was off the moment he'd dreamed of for that's was just one more footstep away. He was doing it.

"I gotta go." Luca quickly informed as he let go of them and backed away slowly.

Amina's eyebrows furrowed. "Where to?"

He smiled, quickly stepping up to her as he leaned down and placed a long hard kiss on her lips. She stumbled back slightly, but Luca's hold on her waisted and neck kept her from going to far from his reach. Pulling back, Luca flashed Amina a smile.

"Manning records."
