We remained silent until we reached Gail's house. I still have her phone but I am not using it.

Their maids came to us and got our things. They're used to me being here so they assist me comfortably.

"Miss Ester, we'll go upstairs. Please bring us some food and some medicine for flu," Gail said as she went upstairs to her room. I just followed her silently.

I heard her sighed when we reached her room, "Your asshole ex boyfriend is out of his mind."

And even with that sentiment, I can hear my heart pounding so bad.

"Come on Gail, what did he do?" I asked worriedly.

"He's insane Vy. Their band was featured in an interview yesterday since their album is currently on a good ranking. They were asked if they're taken and his bandmates said yes, and that asshole said yes too!" Gail said, sounding really problematic.

I suddenly felt cold. What the hell, I think I know what's going on.

"Gail," I stuttered.

"And he claimed you as his girlfriend on National TV. He even said that you don't want t

  • After Him   CHAPTER FIFTY THREE

    “I never used you, Vy… but you chose to believe that I did,” he said, trying hard to sound okay but failing. His voice was full of pain. He was hurting. I could see it in his eyes.“When you left that day, I wanted so badly to tell you the truth, but I was so broken seeing you disappointed in me. It hurt so much knowing you didn’t even want to hear me explain because you had already decided I used you,” his tears fell.I cried even harder. The pain in my chest doubled. He was right. I believed what I wanted to believe and shut my mind to his side of the story. I didn’t even give him a chance to explain. I just assumed, believed what Samantha told me, and walked away.“The moment I saw your world fall apart, thinking I betrayed you… it destroyed me too. But what crushed me even more was seeing that you couldn’t even look at me. What chance did I have if you couldn’t even look me in the eye?” he said with a sad chuckle, though tears still fell from his face. His eyes were so expressive

  • After Him   CHAPTER FIFTY TWO

    I woke up around seven in the evening. I freshened up before heading downstairs. The kids were already having dinner with the others. Ate Osang immediately signaled for me to sit beside her, where my place was already set.“Eat up, and then go straight to Sister Mona’s office. She’s been waiting for you, but I didn’t wake you earlier because you looked exhausted. Just finish eating quickly so you can head there,” she whispered.I simply nodded and quietly started eating.Just as Ate Osang said, I hurried through my meal. When I finished, she wouldn’t even let me help clean up — she sent me off right away, saying Sister had been waiting too long already. I didn’t argue; I didn’t want her to get scolded if I delayed.I knocked three times before opening the door. The office still looked the same — old-fashioned but beautiful. Sister Mona was seated on her wooden chair behind her desk. In front of her were two chairs, and someone was already sitting in one of them — a man.“Sister, you a

  • After Him   CHAPTER FIFTY ONE

    Days passed, and everything slowly went back to normal.After the interview, the people waiting outside my home and work gradually disappeared. Not all at once, but little by little, until finally they were gone. I was back at work, and things were good. Gail was back at hers too — she’d been absent a lot because of me.We were both so busy that we only got to see each other once a week. But we had no problem with it since both our careers were improving. I stayed focused, paid attention to the things I used to neglect. Nothing stood in the way of me moving on with my life.It’s been four months now, and my life is peaceful.Xavier and Samantha tried to reach out, but I declined. They were back together — and I was happy for them. I just couldn’t face them now. If I did, memories I wasn’t ready to remember would come flooding back. I still wasn’t sure if I’d forgiven them, so it was best to keep my distance.“Ate Vy, come quick — Tomtom’s crying again because of Buknoy!”I smiled and

  • After Him   CHAPTER FIFTY

    I heard almost everyone gasp for air, and some whispered in shock. They didn’t recognize me, or maybe I looked familiar, but still — I wasn’t someone special enough to remember.“You mean your girlfriend?” asked another intrigued reporter.I straightened up in my seat and stared at Xavier, even though he wasn’t looking at me. If he didn’t tell them the truth, I would.The whole room fell silent, waiting for Xavier’s response. But he remained quiet and kept his head down. I sighed and leaned forward to reach for the mic set in front of me.“Good afternoon, everyone. As you all know, I am Veronica Berdin…” My nerves threatened to get the better of me, but nothing could stop me now. I was going to finish this, no matter what came after.“I came here today because so many members of the media and reporters have been hunting me down — because of Xavier’s announcement about me last week,” I turned to look at Xavier, who still had his head down.No one spoke. Everyone just listened — even Sa

  • After Him   CHAPTER FORTY NINE

    My whole life, I’ve never thought about anyone else but other people — the people around me. There was never any space in my mind for myself. Not even once did I voice out my own questions. I always kept everything to myself and never received any answers.I know they never forced me to love and value them, but isn’t it true that it’s not a good enough reason to hurt me? It’s not a good enough reason to use me and take advantage of my love.All I ever did was love and value them while all they ever did was use and take advantage of me. To sacrifice me for others and discard me afterward.I’m tired now — tired of just accepting it. I want to do something for myself, and this is the beginning of that. I won’t allow myself to feel unimportant anymore. Even if it’s not for them, at least for myself now.---We arrived at the venue five minutes before the show started. One of the event staff immediately greeted me and led me to the waiting area. The band was already there, along with Saman

  • After Him   CHAPTER FORTY EIGHT

    I sighed and started reading all the notifications and messages that I received. I made sure, I've seen everything but I didn't reply to any. I looked at Xavier's profile and saw my picture with Gail posted. I sighed. After I finished reading the messages and notifications, I called Xavier's number."Veronica, you called. Finally," he said.I rolled my eyes even though he couldn't see me. He's been so reckless and it annoys me so much. He caused so much trouble to the point that even the ones not involved are dragged in this mess."I'll get straight to the point. I saw that you're having an interview this Tuesday with the Command, I'll going you."I didn't wait for him to react or say anything. I hung up the call and proceeded to dial his father's number."Good evening, Tito.""Veronica, I'm glad you called. Where are you? Are you okay? I'm sorry for my son," he said continuously.I honestly don't have any problem with him. And as much as I don't want to put him in between me and X
