I’ll do it.”</p><p><br/></p><p>He looked straight into my eyes.</p><p><br/></p><p>“You remember a story that went viral on TwoCents last year?”</p><p><br/></p><p>My stomach dropped.</p><p><br/></p><p>“The one about the girl who broke a writer’s heart so badly he disappeared from the platform?”</p><p><br/></p><p>Rylee froze.</p><p><br/></p><p>Dolapo slowly turned toward her.</p><p><br/></p><p>And then the man said the one sentence that made the entire table go silent.</p><p><br/></p><p>“She’s that girl.”</p><p><br/></p><p>The same girl.</p><p><br/></p><p>The same story.</p><p><br/></p><p>The same heartbreak.</p><p><br/></p><p>Only this time…</p><p><br/></p><p>I was the writer.</p><p><br/></p><h3>---</h3><h3><br/><strong>Next On…</strong></h3><p><br/></p><p>Tomorrow, Dolapo will reveal a detail about that viral story that changes everything.</p><p><br/></p><p>But the real shock is still coming.</p><p><br/></p><p>Because the man standing in front of me tonight…</p><p><br/></p><p>Wasn’t the writer whose heart she broke.</p><p><br/></p><p>He was something much worse.</p><p><br/></p><p>He was the <strong>brother</strong> of the man who disappeared. </p>
