Deepfake Scandal: Lover, Friends, All Against Me Chapter 12
Finn's POVI showed up for the trial, but I barely said a word in court. Nathaniel stated all the facts for me. Once the chain of evidence was complete and every lie laid bare, Vivian, Mike, and Everett stood in the defendant’s dock, no longer as arrogant as they once were.Vivian kept her head down, unable to meet my eyes. Mike sobbed uncontrollably, his face twisted as he kept saying how sorry he was. Everett was still trying to blame everything on Wanda, claiming she'd put him up to it.Wanda sat in the gallery, her face dark with anger. She didn't say a word.The court handed down its verdict.Vivian was sentenced to 18 months in prison. Mike got a year. Everett got two years. Wanda avoided prison, but her law license was revoked.She was also ordered to compensate me for the emotional distress she'd caused and issue a public apology for the damage she'd done to my reputation.I was satisfied with the outcome. After the trial, I walked out of the courthouse. Wanda hurried

Third-Person POVVivian had been arrested. Mike had been called in for questioning. Everett had been stopped at the airport while trying to leave.One piece of bad news after another, and Wanda's life was falling apart.Her career was the first thing to suffer.One of the senior partners at her law firm called her into his office. "Wanda, what is this?"He tossed a printout of an online forum post onto the desk in front of her. The title read, "Prominent Female Attorney Teams Up With Childhood Friend to Ruin Boyfriend's Life. Leaked Chats Expose Everything!"The post included not only the awful things she'd said in the private dining room but also messages proving that Everett had been playing her for a fool."Wanda, you've been a lawyer for years. You should know how important professional ethics and personal integrity are."One of your clients just called and demanded that you be taken off their case. They said they couldn't trust someone who'd sell out her own boyfriend to h

Finn's POVThat afternoon, I'd just left Nathaniel's law firm when someone I recognized came rushing out from behind a flower bed at the corner.Before I could react, he grabbed my arm. "Finn! I've been looking everywhere for you!"Mike practically lunged at me, his voice cracking. I didn't push him away or make a scene. I just stopped and looked down at his hand gripping my sleeve.He was still wearing the black friendship bracelet we'd bought together. It was old and worn now."Let go," I said evenly.Mike froze, clearly caught off guard by my reaction. In his mind, I was still the same fool who'd always covered for him without a second thought and lent him money without ever asking for it back.Still, he released my arm and pulled a stack of crumpled pages from his bag. "Finn, I'm sorry. I know I messed up. I really do..."He tried to shove the pages into my hands."So, you came to apologize?" I took them without opening them."Yes! Finn, please, just hear me out." Mike ru

Third-Person POVThe police moved faster than Finn had expected. Just five days after opening the investigation, they arrested Vivian at her home.Apparently, she'd been playing an online game when they showed up. She'd even been bragging to her teammates."What's there to worry about? It's just a video. You seriously think that idiot Finn can get me thrown in jail? Please. I know what I'm doing. I deleted everything. There's no way anyone's finding a trace of it."But when the officers showed her the original files they'd recovered from the cloud servers, she was speechless.All the footage and project files she'd been so sure were gone for good had been recovered. So had her conversations with Everett. And now it was all evidence against her.Even in the interrogation room, Vivian kept making excuses. "Officer, it was just a prank! We were only messing around! Besides, Finn and I have known each other since we were kids. Why would I want to hurt him? I was just… I was trying to

Finn's POVWhile I was busy preparing for the lawsuit, I heard some news about my family. Not from them, though. I found out through someone else.I'd gone to the courthouse that day to file some additional paperwork when I ran into an old classmate who worked for the government."Finn Campbell? Hey... How've you been holding up?" He seemed to have trouble meeting my eyes."Pretty good. Why?""Well... I heard your brother Graham got the results of his background check."That caught my attention, though I didn't let it show. "Oh, really?""Yeah... Apparently, he didn't pass. They haven't said exactly why, but word is that someone in his family is involved in a major online scandal and a criminal investigation."I heard the police opened a case over that video of you. And apparently, your brother's been linked to some suspicious money transfers too..."My old classmate lowered his voice. "Finn, don't take it too hard. Nobody saw this coming."I nodded and gave him a polite smil

Finn's POVThe next day, I went to Nathaniel Cross' law firm, just as we'd arranged.Nathaniel had been a year ahead of me in college and had since made a name for himself as an attorney.He looked taken aback when he saw me. "Finn, you..."I was probably a lot calmer than he'd expected. I certainly didn't look like someone who'd just been dragged through the mud online, abandoned by his family, and betrayed by his girlfriend."I've long heard of your reputation, Nathaniel." I sat down and pulled a USB drive and a thick stack of printed messages from my bag. "Here's all the evidence I've gathered."Nathaniel took the documents and started going through them. The more he read, the deeper his frown grew. "Vivian Clark... She's your childhood friend, right? And Mike Crain is your best friend? Then there's this Everett guy..."He looked up at me, his expression serious. "What about your girlfriend, Wanda Beckham? How was she involved?""She was the last straw," I said calmly. "She
