I hoped the stream would get more popular in the future, because no company would hire me with this video out there. Within minutes, I had an interesting insight into how Audrey must have felt when Alexander first invaded her privacy and destroyed her safe space.
"I think we should call Blake and Amo. And report the video to the platform. Copyright infringement or something, because I own the rights to it, it was recorded illegally, and someone uploaded it without permission."
"Not just anyone," I reminded. "Alexander."
"We have no proof of that."
"Do you doubt it?"
"No. But I can't prove it either. Can you?"
Of course I would be able to prove it– after I paid him a quick visit and got him to admit everything down to the last detail. Maybe I wouldn't even call the cops and take care of it myself. Give him a good punch in the jaw, like he deserved after his shitty action in the church.
"Not yet. But that will change soon. Don't worry." The uploaded video would be just as impossible to undo as all those views. "We might as well ask Kaden how we can do some damage control."
"Sounds like a battle plan," she replied. Her fingers were shaking so badly she couldn't hide it from me. "Tell me what's on your mind, Audrey."
Just because she had made a decision and taken off the mask didn't mean she had to accept the consequences. After all, it probably hit her just as hard as it did a few months ago.
"Nothing. I'm shocked. That's all. I didn't expect to wake up and see my orgasming on the Internet while people are talking about how incredible our chemistry looks in that video. It's weird on a different level."
That was not the answer I was expecting.
"What about you? The phone call? That was your boss, right?" she continued.
My simple nod confirmed what she otherwise did not say. He had seen the video and decided it was better to part ways with me.
"Then I guess it won't be long before the bookstore gets back to me, and..." She swallowed. "Looks like we're headed straight for careers performing in adult films."
"I won't touch other women."
My determined interjection made her laugh, but this time for a different reason. "I don't know if I want to curse you or kiss you for thinking about that of all things in this shitty situation."
"What my preference would be, you know..."
It surprised me that she came right up to me and kissed me. Even if it was too short. "Let's take the offensive. It's not going to go unnoticed if I'm seen like this all over the Internet."
As we spoke, the video was certainly spreading to other platforms, finding its way onto private phones and servers. The Internet did not forget– and it was an illusion to think that this video would disappear from the net. Still, I couldn't accept that Alexander had exposed us in this way.
"So, Kaden, Blake, and Amo?"
Audrey nodded. "And Kaia, for moral support. The video will reach my father, and I think we'll both have to be careful then."
"After yesterday, the only one who needs to be careful is him. But that's another topic."

Kaia looked from her phone to me and back again. "Good for you for having so much fun together. But bad for you that we're up to six million views. And climbing."
"The local news is on it, too– because it involves one of Hawaii's most prominent bankers. And the daughter of an influential, long-established family," Kaden commented. This had been going on for hours, ever since the crisis meeting in Lei's apartment.
Amo, Blake, and Lei were in the next room going over the legalities. Kaia was making sure I didn't get nervous, and Kaden was throwing ideas around on how to counterattack.
"Why did they drag you through the media back then?" I knew they had portrayed him in a false light for years, but everything else was beyond my knowledge.
Kaden looked at me over the edge of the laptop. "Because I trusted the wrong person, put myself in a position that made me look weak, and then I was taken advantage of. I was played, my preferences used against me, and then a picture was painted that could not have been further from the truth. From that point on, I was forced to publicly stand by all of my preferences."
"That sounds about as beneficial as what's going on right now," I muttered.
