Seven words. One text. And a "love" that demands proof.

Maya talks online about controlling love -- until her own story becomes the next viral obsession.

Ryan doesn't yell or hit. He persuades. He pressures. He makes control sound like care, until Maya can't tell what she wants and what he expects.

When Maya finally pushes back, the backlash explodes: screenshots, edited clips, anonymous messages -- and details strangers shouldn't know.

Then Noah appears -- quiet, steady, and unwilling to take what Maya doesn't freely give. He gives Maya space to choose. But the more Maya tries to reclaim her voice, the more someone twists her words.

Because someone isn't just watching her.
They're rewriting her.

Will Maya find out who's behind the harassment -- and escape Ryan's "If you love me... " trap before she loses everything?
