~ cheating on you ~

It has been 2 years since I last saw her. The last day I saw her, there were tears running down her eyes, and until now, it pained me to only think about how she looked like. She was still beautiful despite the tears, and she still takes my breath away even though I am only imagining her face. I caused those tears to fall down from her face, and it still haunts me to this day.

After I graduated at Hogwarts, I decided to work for my father. After the war, my father and mother decided to build a family business. Of course I knew that we wouldn't need a business because of all the money that we have, but I told them that it would be a humble restart of our life. It worked, though.

In the first months of our business, it was hard for my father. Some wizards don't trust us yet because of our tattered reputation, the result of my father and I being Death Eaters. But this didn't stop my father. He worked hard to prove to the world that he changed after the war, that he was truly sorry for ever joining the death eaters. There were people who helped us in the business. The L/N's were the first ones to help us. They were the first investors in the company and they did this because Y/N wanted to help me. She was so supportive and she convinced her father to invest in our company without me asking her to do so. She did it out of love. That really helped us establish our brand and

The business not only helped the Malfoys regain the respect that our family name deserves, but it also helped me cope with the trauma of the war. I placed all of my attention, time, and effort in that business. It was tiring most of the time, but all of my sacrifices was worth it. We succeeded, being known not only in England, but all around Europe and the United States. 

But in the process of regaining the respect that we lost because of my father siding with the Dark Lord during the war. I also lost the love of my life, Y/N.

I drugged myself with work and I totally ignored her. At first, she was very understanding. She understood that I needed to do this, that there is a need inside me to clean the Malfoy's name and she totally understood it. As I said earlier, she was supportive and was there every step of the way. But as time goes by, she was neglected, ignored, and unloved. She was hurt, of course, and she was tired. She was tired giving off love to someone who doesn't see or appreciate it. Obviously, it was my fault...I abandoned her.

At first I didn't see it. She sent me signs that she was tired, that she wanted me to change a little, but I was blind---no, I intentionally closed my eyes and ignore her. I saw everything and decided not to do anything about it.

Soon enough, Y/N became tired of understanding and loving me. Love was supposed to be give and take, its not a one side thing. Both parties should give, both parties should take. In our case, I was the only one taking, she was the only one giving. And like most humans would, she grew tired and she ended our relationship.

Of course I was misearable. Of course I was upset. Not with Y/N of course, but with myself. Guilt, regret, misery all flowed in my veins that it ate me up. All the what ifs haunt me every night. All of the regrets drown me like I'm in the middle of the ocean of guilt, not sure if there is a way out. I know there is, I just can't find it.

My friends told me I should move forward. Not move on, because moving on is hard. But I should keep moving forward because being stuck at one place would make me even more miserable. So I did.

I took small, baby steps forward. The first step I took was regaining my strength to work for our company again. Slowly but surely, I was regaining the joy of working for our company.
