The love that I knew wasn't like the ones written in a book. It wasn't beautiful and magical. It doesn't bring butterflies in my stomach and it doesn't make me feel special. It doesn't feel like home, I do not feel secured. It does not make me feel safe and worthy. The love that I experience doesn't feel like love. I'm not really sure if it is love because it made me doubt, insecure and made me feel unloved. And all I experience was pain. No it was torture. To see him love someone else when all I could do is to love him and let him love her. Now I don't know if I could ever love someone else, After him.

After Him Chapter 2 Veronica Marchella

"Vy, can you give us a minute?" my boyfriend asked me.

"Do I really have to leave you two here?" I asked almost whispering.

I do. But to your feelings about me, I don't know.

"Ah right. Of course I trust you," I faked a laugh as step back and leave them two alone.

I smiled bitterly when I go out. Why in hell did I go with him, knowing she's here? I almost forgot that in those four years we've been together, he never really loved me. He was just doing what his father want for him.

I'm so stupid to believe that I could replace her part on him. So stupid to fall for him.

I don't know why I still fell in love with him knowing that he was just being nice and caring towards me for his fathers' sake. I am still in love with him even though he loves someone else.

I went to the receiving area of the recording studio that is owned by Samantha Nicolas, the woman he loves. Everything feels unreal, it was as if I am invisible and no one cares about me. No one really does.

Nothing new, knowing everyone here was admiring Xavier and Samantha together. And me, I am the antagonist of their story.

I decided to leave the company. But before I could find a taxi, I saw the person I refuse to talk to in here. The only person I don't want to talk with even though he's being nice to me. I don't know why, but my body felt shiver when his eyes met mine.

"Veronica!" I almost roll my eyes when he shouted my name. But still managed to fake a smile on him.

"Hi," I said a bit awkward.

"You're leaving already? Where's Xavier?" he was smiling beautifully at me. He was so tall that I needed to look up to him so we could see each other better.

"He's still up. He needs to talk to Samantha about important things so I leave them two. I am going home now because I still need to do something," I lied about the reason why I need to leave.

I didn't know why we talked to each other so sudden. I knew he was Lucas, I kind of heard his name. Well the truth is, this wasn't the first time I saw him. I already know him, but not personally. I just know something like he was Samantha's driver and they're close. That's why I always acted like I knew him for the first time.

"I can bring you home, if you don't mind?" he was still smiling as he offers me a ride. He was like in a commercial with his beautiful smile.

I refused his offer immediately. As much as possible I don't want to have a long conversation with him.

I don't know why but it doesn't seem right, "No, thank you. I'm fine with a taxi. Samantha might be needing you anytime, I don't want any trouble," I laugh a bit to make it sound like I wasn't trying to avoid him.

"Are you sure? Samantha wouldn't mind that for sure," he said calmly but I still refuse his offer.

"I'm fine don't worry. I'm going now. Thanks for your offer anyways," I said and bid my goodbye to him as I got in the taxi.

I saw him waving at me when I looked at the side mirror of the taxi.

Lucas is nice and kind, always. Even when I first saw him, he's nice and very approachable. He always talks to me and sometimes he spends his time with me while waiting outside the recording room.

When I got home, I dialed my friend's number. I feel like I needed to talk about what I am feeling to lessen the burden.

The past weeks, Xavier's being cold in me. Before he always keep up with me, he's nice and caring.

Maybe it was for his father who had a heart disease but lately he's being short tempered and moody. We also shared a lot of fights the past days because of his mood.

I don't want to think that this is happening now because Samantha came back but I couldn't help myself. Since she came back from Australia, Xavier changed.

I am not dumb too, I may be stupid for loving him while he's in love with someone else but that doesn't mean I wouldn't feel that he still wants her. Besides we're together now because this is what his father want for him.

Six years ago, I was a naive girl sold by my father to the powerful Sanders estate, only to be tossed onto the streets after a brutal assault they labeled "marital infidelity." I fled the country pregnant and broken, hiding from the shadow of a husband I had never even met. Now, I’ve returned to New York with my triplets to sign the final divorce papers and disappear forever. But Archibald Sanders—the man I was told was a crippled recluse—intercepted us with the cold precision of a predator. He didn't see the woman his family destroyed; he saw a gold-digger who had shamed his name. His security team hunted us to a grimy motel, using tactical force to snatch my children away and drag me to his glass-walled empire. In his office, he loomed over me, demanding a DNA test and threatening to throw me in prison while my babies were lost to the foster system. He was convinced I’d cheated, yet he stared at my sons with a haunting confusion, unable to ignore the stormy blue eyes that were a perfect mirror of his own. I stood there, paralyzed by his scent—the sharp tang of rain and expensive leather that triggered the icy dread of my worst nightmares. How could he accuse me of betrayal when he felt exactly like the monster who had shattered my life in that dark hotel room? "I'll sign anything," I sobbed, "just give me my kids." But the game changed when my five-year-old son hacked the tower’s security, holding the skyscraper hostage to save me. In the chaos, a fragile, silent boy—Archibald’s secret son—wandered into the room and reached for me as if I were his missing soul. Archibald’s face turned to stone as he tore up the agreement and locked the doors. "Until I find out why my son is looking at you like that," he growled, "you aren't going anywhere."

My five-year-old daughter was dying in the ICU, her heartbeat replaced by the continuous, electronic scream of a flatline. I gripped her cold hand, my throat sealed shut by a terror so absolute I couldn't even cry out. I dialed my husband Grayson's private number, the one reserved only for me and his assistants. He declined the call instantly. A second later, a text buzzed against my palm: "In a meeting. Do not disturb. Stop calling." Five miles away, Grayson was at a luxury gala, adjusting his silk tie and laughing with Belle Escobar. He told her I was just being "dramatic" and using our daughter's "fever" as an excuse to avoid the event. He had no idea Effie's heart had already stopped. When I finally reached our penthouse, soaked from the rain and carrying Effie's small socks in a plastic bag, Grayson didn't even look at me. He snapped at me for ruining the hardwood floors and asked if I'd left Effie with the nanny just to "feel sorry for myself." Three days later, while I buried our daughter in a small, lonely ceremony, Grayson was at the Hamptons. Belle posted a photo of him golfing with the caption: "A mental health day with the boys." He didn't even attend the funeral, but he returned home demanding I clear out Effie's room to make a study for Belle's son. The injustice burned through me until there was nothing left. I swallowed a handful of sleeping pills, desperate to join my daughter. But instead of the darkness, I woke up to blinding lights and the scent of Grayson's expensive cologne. I was standing in a ballroom, wearing a blue silk dress I had already burned. Above me, a banner read: "Happy 5th Birthday Kaiden & Effie." I was back, exactly one year before the tragedy. This time, I wasn't going to be the grieving wife. I was going to be their worst nightmare.
