Andy woke up with a smile on his face, even though he had been awoken in the middle of the night, after uploading that video on all his socials, he felt so content that he slept like a log, it’s been so long since he has slept so well, so, he rose from his bed and soon, he was already pouring some milk on a chocolate cereal with marshmallows.

That was an expensive cereal, but this morning was special, he felt like a general, like a king who had done an incredible strategy, he knew what was about to come the moment he opened his phone, but still, he couldn’t help but feel nervous.

As per usual, he didn’t have messages, and not even Anna decided to wish him a good morning like she usually did and he couldn’t blame her, after all, that lie from the Matthews family had even tainted her integrity and reputation a little, what just happened could end her days as a politician, the thing he was worried the most was the possibility of him finding a new place to stay as he doesn’t see her forgiving him so easily.

He could use his powers to convince her to do that, but he doesn’t want an android, a robot who doesn’t have its own will to act on its own, so, if she was angry and she didn’t want anything to do with him, he’s going to accept it but he has to hear it from her, he’ll have to find a way to see her or speak with her.

“Oh my god,” Andy couldn’t help but chuckle now that he decided to see the notifications from all his socials.

Just like he expected, he received so many notifications that instead of his phone showing them one by one, it only said that he had lots of notifications, and when he opened Instagram his eyes widened because he had more than ninety-nine notifications.

“Okay let’s see what—” Andy’s eyes suddenly widened. “There’s no way that…” He said not believing what was happening.

The reel he uploaded before going to sleep already had more than ten million views and five million likes, but that’s not all, he has gained more than ten thousand followers and after checking the comments on the last reel and the comments on the pictures he uploaded of him, he was seeing tons of support from women from around the country, it seems like his powers were working.

“This is crazy, let’s see how I’m doing on the other platforms,” Andy suddenly opened another app.

The surprises were just starting, on YouTube he gained almost thirty thousand subscribers after uploading that short video, on TikTok he gained almost ten thousand followers and it seems like people who are supporting him decided to pity him.

The reason he was thinking that was because he was checking his earnings in the music platforms where his music is being published, it seems like a lot of people have bought his songs because his combined earnings from all the platforms were close to ten thousand dollars.

That’s not all, it seems like he reached almost twenty thousand monthly listeners on Spotify and his latest release gained lots of streams, he was having a hard time believing this was real.

“Okay, all of this is nice, especially the earnings from the music platforms, however…There’s another important thing I need to check,” Andy opened his e-mail app.

The seconds that it took his phone to open that app were nervous wrecking but the moment it finally opened he celebrated, he saw lots of proposals from TV networks to get their hands on the full footage of him and that man.

“Okay, what do we have here…One thousand dollars, nah, Five thousand, not bad, let’s put it in maybe…Ten thousand seems like we have a winner…Wait a minute, fifteen thousand dollars for that video!” Andy said with a huge smile on his face as he looked at the many proposals he received from TV networks.

He tried to find more good deals but everyone was offering pennies and that this moment he didn’t have the patience to do charity for small networks, he was going to squeeze and monetize the fuck out of this situation.

“Well, it seems like we have a winner…Fifteen thousand dollars from this network!” Andy suddenly called the number attached to the mail.

Now it was time for him to confirm the deal as he uploaded the video on a trustable sharing platform and after confirming the payment from the winner, he sent the download link to staff from the network who paid for that video.

“Thank you so much and goodbye,” Andy said and soon, he ended the call.

Andy was so happy with the way things were developing that he wanted to get out and have some fun but before that, he needed to do something, he needed to thank the people who were supporting him because it seemed like the Matthews family had been in complete silence, there’s no statement, a reaction, there’s nothing from them, so, Andy felt like triumphed in the end.

“Come on, answer my calls,” Andy said in a sad tone.

He was calling Anna, he knew she was probably mad at him after everything that happened but even if she wanted to end things with him, he just wanted to be on good terms with her, his musical career was just starting, so, the last thing he needed was people holding grudges against him that could affect him in the future.

“Well, I guess I’ll call her later, I should clean myself though,” Andy sighed after being disappointed because his call hadn’t been answered.

He washed his face, fixed his hair, washed his mouth, and got rid of the small beard that was growing on his face, he was fresh and clean, and he was ready to make a video.

“Hey everyone, I just woke up after a night full of anxiety, I had a panic attack in the middle of the night but after a good sleep and after reading the amazing comments from you guys, I feel better.

I’m just making this video to thank all the people who have followed me and expressed their support during these past few hours, and also, I’d like to thank all the people who bought and streamed my music, it’s going to help me a lot, that’s for sure.

And for those who have been asking in the comments if there’s another way to support me, this is my account where you can send whatever quantity you want but don’t feel pressured to do that, as long as you guys listen to my music, that’s more than enough support, thank so much again!”

Andy finished the video and soon uploaded it on all platforms, he was going to get to work before lunch but then, there was a knock on the door, so, he soon started to record everything, he didn’t want to miss any detail in case another dangerous person decides to come to harm him.

However, the moment he took a look in the peephole, his eyes widened, there was a huge group of men and women in suits, they had smirks on their faces and it was kind of creepy, there was some weird aura around them, but still, he decided to open the door to see what they wanted.

“Uh…Good morning,” Andy said with clear confusion.

“it could be for you Mr. Richards but not for our clients,” one old man said.

“Yes…Your video has caused the Matthews family to show extreme signs of anxiety, so, you need to delete the video you uploaded last night,” one older woman threatened him.

Still, she couldn’t help but blush as she looked at the young man but her work ethic was above anything else.

“I’m not deleting that video…And who are you people?! If you came here to intimidate me, let me tell you it’s not going to work, I’m not going to delete that video that shows the world the true face of your clients,” Andy said with an angry tone.

“Well, if that’s the case, then…” One of the men handled him a paper.

“What’s this?!” Andy asked with a concerned tone.

“It’s a cease and desist notification for you to delete that video or else you’re risking yourself to be sued for defamation by my clients,” a young woman said with a smirk on his face.

Now Andy realized he was dealing with lawyers, some of the most dangerous people on the planet in the hands of rich people.

“This doesn’t make any sense, the video is clear, there’s no defamation,” Andy couldn’t believe it.

“You should better do what we’re telling you, trust me, even if they lose…Trials are expensive…Can a man like you be able to pay for a trial that could last weeks?” One of the older lawyers said with a cold tone.

Andy was speechless, he knew that at this point there was no way for him to run away because he already sent the video to a TV station, it was just a matter of time for him to get sued and yet, he didn't feel like running away.
