Deleted Stories Novels & Stories

The media coverage began to subside. Several major outlets withdrew their articles, gossip accounts were no longer as active as the day before. Jessy’s name slowly disappeared from the timeline, replaced by other issues. However, the calm did not last long. In her apartment, Bella stared at her phone screen with her jaw clenched. Her hands were trembling, not from sadness, but from anger. “So this is how it’s done,” Bella muttered. “Everything just gets erased like that?” She scrolled the screen, reading old comments that no longer appeared. Some posts could no longer be found at all.

Listener 2: "Y'all disgusting. She's probably crying right now. This is so funny." Listener 3: "Cry? She's rich af. She'll sue and win. Meanwhile we got free content.” Host: with this now it proves Conrad was right all along, she's never been a stable minded person. Listener 3: “You forgot to add an ‘unstable Body’ too hahaha.” The laughs echoed through her phone speakers. As Adeline curled on her bedroom floor, listening to the live stream. Each chuckle felt like a slap. Most stories vanished almost as fast as they appeared, people reposting blurred screenshots with fire emojis, then deleting when her lawyers' DM rolled in.

I’d deal more with him later, but for the time being, I needed to get rid of those leaked photos online. I pulled out my phone and checked in on how many more views had accrued over the last hour. But I was stunned when I saw that there was nothing there. “This Story Is No Longer Available.” I repeated the bold print aloud. “Hm, maybe Matthew had the company’s PR team handle everything already.” I breathed a partial sigh of relief, careful not to get too happy just yet as lately my luck would come and go in spurts. And there was no telling what Tom or even Alaric had up their sleeves at this point.

*** It took less than twelve hours to take the posts down. But it didn’t matter at the end. A few smaller gossip accounts still had screenshots circulating, even with the main articles gone. I kept telling myself that meant people had moved on, plus wasn’t four days enough for the internet to find a new scandal to devour. I hoped—prayed—that was true.

Too vividly perhaps. Not all the comments were sunshine and rainbows. I frowned as I scrolled further. @anon_112: thought he killed somebody tho?? @weirdo_girl: isn’t taranis like…impotent? 🤔 My stomach twisted. I hated those rumors, the stupid stories that always clung to him like shadows no matter how untrue they were. Without thinking twice, I tapped the little trash can icon. Delete. Delete. Delete. “That’s better,” I muttered, shoving my phone aside.

No results found. I went to the other news sites. The stories were gone there, too. I checked social media. The links that people had shared were now leading to "404 Error" pages. It was like the last two hours had never happened. The internet had been scrubbed clean. I looked up at Cade, my jaw dropping. "What did you do? Did you call the editors?" "I didn't call them," Cade said. He stood up and walked over to the window. "I bought them."

TRYING THIS AGAIN The jokes died down after a week, just as they hoped they would. There were still a couple of minor jokes flying around, but they weren't too bad. Cameron had deactivated the app a while ago before the free trial ended. It wasn't because he was matched with his own cousin, he was over that. He met one of his other matches on the app and began talking with her. When they exchanged numbers and began talking outside the app, that's when Cameron deactivated his app profile and deleted it from his phone.

On that note, Noah couldn't claim he lacked the power to compel those blogs to remove the offensive pictures from their websites. It's a common practice among affluent individuals to remove undesirable photos of themselves from the internet. They typically pay a substantial sum to ensure these pictures are deleted, preventing them from being easily found in future online searches. It's puzzling why Noah is pretending to be unaware of anyone capable of helping him make those photos disappear. Could he be deceiving me? Is he somehow connected to the leak, orchestrating it to generate publicity? I recall him mentioning his fondness for reading gossip blogs just yesterday. It's worth considering

The two of them had been standing between the tall, imposing shelves of the town's library, surrounded by the musty scent of old books and the soft rustling of pages being turned by the only other two people in the huge building. I guess in the new era of technology, the hub of information had now been rendered obsolete. I was going off track, wasn’t I? Anyway, where was I? Natalie and Parker had been combing through newspapers, looking for information… anything they could find about her house and the creepy things that had been going on in there, and frankly speaking, Natalie had almost been on the verge of giving up, because they had been cooped in there for ages, and the library was about

I quickly got ready and rushed downstairs before Maggie could even finish telling me that Alexander had returned home sometime during the night. After grabbing a quick breakfast, I headed straight for work. On the way to the office, my phone vibrated with a T*****r notification. The trending headline immediately caught my attention. #EmotionalGossip Deletes Tweets and Issues Public Apology Curious, I opened the post. The account known as Emotional Gossip had released a formal apology statement. Every post related to the scandal had been deleted. Comments and retweets had been disabled, and the account settings had been changed so that only tweets from the past six months remained visible.
