The Ultimate Betrayal
The photo—a proud Leo with his small baby bump—was leaked to a fringe blog and went viral overnight. Their private journey became a public spectacle, fueling a vicious wave of comments. Cornered and desperate, they agreed to an interview with a national journalist who promised to tell their story with compassion, believing it was their only chance to fight back against the lies.
The article that came out was a character assassination. The journalist twisted their words into a portrait of a reckless and confused couple, using their most vulnerable confessions against them. The betrayal was absolute, and the hate intensified into real-world threats. Their hope was shattered, and they felt utterly alone, abandoned by the one person they thought they could trust.
Beaten and exposed by the media, help came from the one person in the country they believed was their greatest enemy.
