After three long years, the recordings for Belle's new album are finally finished. It's been an intense period of failed recordings, starting over, and many frustrations. It was tough, but the album is almost ready; all that's left is to begin distributing the physical copies and making them available online. Belle poured her heart and soul into producing this album, writing many of the songs and composing several of the tracks. And the result is fantastic; the album is a gem and will likely be a huge success. But she wouldn't have achieved this level of perfection and excellence alone; she had help in making the album. Her record label assigned her some of their best composers and songwriters.

She also provided all the funding to pay the recording studio bills and everyone else who participated in the project in one way or another. With such a complete team, she achieved the best possible result. Furthermore, because Belle is a singer with a long and distinguished career who has demonstrated her talent on numerous occasions, the record label and investors gave her a great deal of creative freedom, even allowing her to choose the studio and manage the budget. And he didn't disappoint them, he used everything flawlessly, the results speak for themselves.

The day arrived. The studio called her to pick up the copies of the finished songs. She was going to collect them herself because she was in charge of the project; she wasn't just a singer, she was very involved in the album's direction. When she arrived, the audio engineer showed her the results of their hard work. Everyone in the studio agreed that the album would be a huge success and everyone would love it. She was overjoyed to hear these comments; she knew great things awaited her in the coming days. After the copies were made, they were delivered to her in a sturdy, shockproof case. Inside were several hard drives and USB flash drives. All the devices contained the same thing: backups in case one failed.

When she left the studio, Belle called a taxi to pick her up. That way, she wouldn't attract attention with a caravan of cars. She told the driver to take her to her house. The taxi arrived quickly. It was raining, so she opened her umbrella and ran inside. After that, she took a shower and checked social media to see how excited the fans were. They were going crazy to hear the new songs. Then she got a call; it was the head of the record label telling her to bring the recordings in early the next day, as they were about to start distribution. She said yes and then hung up. The recordings! She'd left them in the trunk of the taxi. She wanted to panic. She called the taxi company, but no one knew anything.

She started to worry and quickly called the studio to ask if they had any more copies. But they told her she had taken the only ones. They were then erased to prevent them from being leaked to the public prematurely, for security reasons. She felt like she was going to die at that moment; she couldn't believe it. If the suitcase didn't turn up, the album would have to be recorded again, which would mean millions more dollars in investment. But the worst part was that the trust placed in her could be shattered. She spent the whole night trying to find the taxi driver, but she couldn't find him. Seeing that there was nothing she could do, she just cried. She didn't eat anything all night and slept in the apartment. She had gone from so much joy to so much suffering. She couldn't believe she had lost the suitcase.

At dawn, she saw the sunlight, the time to deliver the recordings to Acerva, and she had nothing. She had no choice but to tell the truth. She picked up the phone and started dialing the number of the head of the record label. But just as she was looking at the phone, the taxi driver arrived. He had seen that she had left her suitcase and went back to the house to give it to her, hoping she was still there. He was so happy that he kissed the taxi driver and told him that when the album was released, he would be rewarded for his kindness. After that, he rushed to the record label's studios and handed in the recordings. No one found out, but she knew everything that had happened. A few days later, the album was released, it was a hit, and she became very popular. But she didn't forget the taxi driver; he received a cash prize, and his name appeared in the credits as a collaborator. A great story to tell.
