Story

The story

Jay's five-year-old son Ethan sees a movie star's viral tribute to a fiancé she says died six years ago — and the photo is Jay. Chloe Wood calls the man her greatest regret, insisting she watched him cremated, while her fans mourn a love she never gave him in life. Jay, who once pursued her and was told he was the person she hated most, says nothing.

Ethan, who films videos for his followers, calls the police on Chloe for cremating his very much alive Daddy online. Alex, the babysitter, takes him to the station, where officers summon the star.

Jay hides his own unfinished hospital tests and grim doctor's warning, and heads there too, unsure what awaits him.

Opening excerpt

The famous movie star posted a tribute to her deceased lover, and my five-year-old son called the police on her.

"If you're building a persona of a heartbroken lover, why are you posting my Daddy's picture?"

Chloe Wood's eyes were red as she explained, "It's not marketing. That's a picture of my deceased fiancé."

The photo showed me at eighteen.

She didn't love me then. She said I was the person she hated most.
