In the heart of Manhattan, an emerging American model, Rosa Miller claimed to be a victim of Asato's predatory behavior. She openly accused Asato, shattering the idol's squeaky-clean image overnight. As this news spread like wildfire, Asato's reign in the music industry was put on a perilous cliff.

Asato was in his luxurious suite when he first heard the news. His manager, Masaki, had switched on the local news channel, where Rosa Miller's face was blurred out and her voice distorted. She was describing a beastly act that brought a wave of nausea to Asato. He listened in shocked silence.

The world he had painstakingly built was beginning to crumble, brick by brick.

rosa had taken a night that the two had spent together, and turned into a horrific tale of sexual assault -- claiming that Niko had drugged her, and forced himself upon her. The details were graphic, and left little room for doubt.

As the interviewer pressed her for more information, Rosa broke down into tears, sobs shaking her body as she described the alleged events in vivid detail.

stunned.

there were no words to describe the horror that niko felt -- the confusion -- the absolute fear that washed over him. His stomach turned, and he had to fight the urge to vomit. This was not the image he had worked so hard to cultivate.

This was not who he was.

Despite his claims, the media and fans were divided. His next concert in Los Angeles was cancelled amid the turmoil. As Niko teetered on the brink of potentially life-shattering downfall, Kyo decided to hire the best defense lawyer in America: Charles Hamilton.

niko knew that he needed a good and seasoned lawyer, and charles was the best. He was glad that he had taken his manager's advice. As he met with charles, they discussed the case, and charles assured him that he would do everything in his power to clear his name. But until then, they had to play it safe. No social media, no interviews, nothing. 

Amid the media frenzy and accusations, Niko retreated into silence, causing further discontentment. Yet, the burgeoning gloom in him snapped when Rosa filed a legal case. He finally broke his silence, proclaiming "I am innocent. I respect women, their stories, and their struggles. I request everyone to wait until the truth is unveiled. Thank you for believing in me."

Hamilton was a stoic, gruff man infamous for turning the tide in several high-profile cases. He did not whip up an emotional storm to rally his clients' innocence. Instead, he valued the power of undeniable evidence and strategic investigations.

"We need proof, Asato." He grumbled. "Which means procuring CCTV footage, calling in witnesses, anything that can restore your tarnished image." Hamilton was unmoved by Asato's pleas. "You'll have to be patient. We'll find the truth eventually."

although niko was desperate, hamilton knew that these things took time. in the meantime, they had to keep up appearances. it was all a carefully crafted image, designed to make people think that everything was under control.

while niko fought to pretend like everything was okay, hamilton managed to acquire evidence.

he plugged the hard drive into his laptop and found hours of footage showing rosa miller with multiple partners in hotels, buying alcohol and drugs, and even engaging in sex work.

it was damning evidence, but it still wasn't enough to clear niko's name. the public still saw him as guilty, and the media was having a field day.

so hamilton decided to do something that he had never done in such a high profile case.

he turned to the fans. he knew that niko's fanbase was loyal and passionate, and he was willing to exploit that loyalty to save his client.

hamilton joined multiple reddit and twitter fan groups under a fake name.
