        // image constraint
        NSLayoutConstraint.activate([

Can I see the code that you have in the IBaction for when you press the button?

Also 

storyLabel.text   = page.story.text

sets the value for that label once the view loads, so basically this is the default text for the button as soon as it loads(assuming you're fine with this)
