Hannah
My heart was pounding so hard I could feel it in my throat.
It couldn’t be….
The post that had seemed so innocuous, so easily dismissible, had come back to haunt me in the worst possible way. My hands shook as I scrolled through the comments, each one more vicious than the last.
“I… I don’t understand,” I muttered. “What is this…?”
“The original post never even reached the likes it specified,” Viona began. “It only got about 8,000 likes. The forum moderators even took the post down and banned the poster, citing that it was just troll bait.”
“Then how…?”
Viona reached out, placing a comforting hand on my arm as my mind whirled with the implications.
I couldn’t believe I had forgotten, that I had let this… this mess slip through my fingers. With everything going on, I had wound up completely ignoring the post.
“I forgot about it,” I said, more to myself than to Viona. “I figured it was just a… a troll.”
“That’s what we all thought,” Viona said. “But then, very late last night, the poster came back with a new account. And they posted… this.”
As she spoke, she gestured to her phone, which was shaking in my trembling hands.
I read the title again, feeling sick to my stomach: “I’m back. My original didn’t get 10,000 likes, but… F****k it. Luna Hannah is a cheating whore, and that baby probably belongs to another man… And here’s the proof.”
The words seemed to dance in front of my eyes, each one a knife twisting in my gut. I felt a cold sweat break out on my forehead. Ever since my father had announced my pregnancy at his birthday, rumors had spread like wildfire. Noah and I hadn’t made our own official announcement just yet, but people knew.
Goddess, I was a fool for not thinking that this would be used against me.
There was an audio file attached to the post. I had already listened to it once, then a second time, when Viona had shown me the post. But I had to hear it again.
“Hannah, don’t-”
“I… I have to listen again,” I murmured, my thumb hovering over the play button. “I have to see if it’s real.”
Viona didn’t stop me as I pressed play for a third time.
First, there was the sound of rustling bedsheets, soft moaning. A whispered word that couldn’t be made out.
Then, there was his voice-Noah’s voice, low and intense: “Tell me who you’re thinking about. Tell me.”
A pause that seemed to stretch on for an eternity. Something vibrated in the background, a low hum.

And then there was my voice: “I’m thinking about…”
“Say it.”
“Drake.”
There was another rustle, then the sound of a door slamming, so loud it made me flinch, and then the audio cut out.
I felt the blood drain from my face, leaving me lightheaded, even though I had heard the audio twice in this sitting already. “Oh, Goddess,” I whispered, my hands starting to shake so badly I almost dropped the phone onto the carpeted floor. “Oh, Goddess, no.” 1
“Hannah,” Viona said, reaching out to touch my arm again. Her touch felt like fire against my cold, clammy skin. “What are you going to do?”
I jumped up from the sofa, suddenly filled with a frantic energy. The room felt too small, too confining. I needed to move, to do something.
“I need… I need to find Noah. I need to… I need his help,” I said.
Without another word, I bolted from Viona’s apartment, ignoring her calls behind me. The stairs seemed endless as I rushed down them, my feet barely touching each step.
I almost fell at one point, or at least I think I did, but everything was such a blur that I hardly noticed the way my stomach lurched and my hand gripped the railing as I missed a bottom step.
Without even hesitating for a split second, I burst out onto the street, the cool air hitting my face like a slap.
I drove to Noah’s office building like a woman possessed. I must have broken multiple traffic violations, speeding through yellow lights and screeching around corners.
Finally, I arrived at the imposing glass building that housed Noah’s office. I burst through the revolving doors and opted for the stairs again, not daring to wait for the elevator. Soon, I was sprinting through the waiting room outside Noah’s office where a young receptionist with a curly blonde updo looked up from behind the glass-topped desk.
