The rumors began quietly. A whisper here, a stare there. Until one day, Mira discovered a video had been shared. A video of her wiping the tears of a distressed friend — an orphan girl going through an emotional breakdown. It was twisted, warped, and accompanied by a vile rumor: that Mira was a predatory lesbian.
The betrayal didn't stop at the gossip. It came with silence. Mira begged Sofia — please, tell them it's not true, tell them what really happened. But Sofia shrugged. "I don't want to get involved," she said, as if Mira's reputation meant nothing.
That moment cracked something sacred in Mira. Not just her trust. Not just her heart.
But her illusion of love.
