CHAPTER FORTY-THREE
I don't know how long I sit on the floor, my body wracked with sobs, but by the time I finally muster the strength to pick up my phone and silence, it's incessant ringing; my eyes are bloodshot, and my voice is raspy from crying. I try my best to compose myself as I answer Luna Marely's call, not wanting to burden her with the depth of my pain.
"Hey, Hannah, we saw the news. Don't worry, we are doing everything we can to take it down immediately," Luna Marely says, her words shocking me to the core. I had steeled myself for a barrage of curses and warnings like the ones my parents had hurled at me, but never did I expect such unwavering support.
"Hannah, are you there?" Luna Marely's gentle voice pulls me back from my thoughts.
"Yes, I'm here," I manage to croak out, my throat tight with emotion.

The next thing I know, a shock of icy water hits me square in the face, jolting me out of my misery."What the fuck!" I roar, leaping to my feet, ready to make the person regret, but then I see who's standing there, empty glass in hand, and my heart stops."Hannah," I breathe. Water trickles down my face and chest, soaking my shirt, but I barely feel it. All I can focus on is her, here, in front of me. "Is it really you?"I reach out to cup her face, desperate to feel the silk of her skin beneath my fingers, to confirm she's not just a cruel mirage. But she steps back, holding up a hand to halt my advance. The rejection stings like a slap."We need to talk," she says, her voice cool and businesslike. "There's a problem at the company that requires your attention."O

It's all part of our elaborate plan to show the world that we're on good terms and that the scandalous article holds no truth.
