Social media shock
On social media, Stephanie had posted countless photos of herself and Liam, looking like the happiest couple imaginable. Clara scrolled through them, her heart sinking with each picture. There they were, smiling and laughing as if nothing had happened. “Look at this,” she said, showing her parents. Her mother gasped, covering her mouth in shock. “How can she be so cruel?” her father muttered. With every image, the sting of betrayal cut even deeper.

Hurtful comments
Liam had commented on every photo with hearts and “I love you, babe,” deepening Clara’s sense of betrayal. “Unbelievable,” she whispered, staring at the screen. “He’s rubbing it in my face.” Phoebe, who had stayed by her side, peered over her shoulder. “How can he be so heartless?” she asked. Clara shook her head, a storm of anger and sadness welling up inside her—the comments felt like a cruel slap in the face.
