"𝙏𝙝𝙚 𝙊𝙩𝙝𝙚𝙧 𝙒𝙤𝙢𝙚𝙣"

"Look Y/N, I know this doesn't look right but let me explain"

Explain? What did he have to explain? Everything was answered. He broke up with me to marry my best friend.

"It was an arranged marriage, my dad is good friends with her dad and they believed us getting together would help our business" I stayed silent as he continued, "I didn't know it was her,
it was so sudden I didn't have time to-"

"Do you love her?" I finally asked. But out of all questions why did I ask this one? The whole world seemed to have stopped for a moment. Axel sighs a little before speaking.

"Of course I do, she's my wife...I've loved her the moment I laid eyes on
her" I closed my eyes tightly as heart shattered into pieces that weren't there anymore, how could he say that so casually?

The first time? The first time they met was the day I introduced him to all of my friends? And that was 3 years before the breakup. So was the love fake? Did it mean nothing to him? Was he putting on an act just to cover up his real feelings? Once those words slipped from H/N's mouth he seemed to realize what he said.

"I didn't mean it like that"

He did mean it like that. What other way could he put it? He loved me..but did he really? Did he love me or did he love Cassie?
