*Several years later*

Veronica P.O.V

It had been 6 years me and Xander got married and is living a very happy life. But you know what brought that happiness to us? We have got an adorable baby girl, Paige. She is now 5 years old. But the sad thing is, the past few months, Xander got really busy.

Yes, he started working as a business man. He owns two of the largest companies in our country. So, we are leading a very happy life in a huge palace-like mansion with our 5 year old baby. These past few months, Xander was going out a lot and says that he has some works to do so I let him go. 

So, here I am, sitting on my bed with my baby beside me. "Mommy? Where's daddy?" She asked in her adorable little voice and I smiled sadly. "Daddy's at work, sweetheart." She pouted and folded her arms over her chest.

"Daddy always at work." She said in a cute angry voice and I giggled. "Hey, hey now, you can always play with mommy." I said grinning and she looked at me with a small grin. She hopped on my lap and I gasped. "Play with me mommy." I smiled and that's when the door opened and my dear husband came in.

"Daddy!" Paige squeled and hopped off my lap. She ran to Xander and hugged his knees tightly. He smiled and messed Paige's hairs. "Daddy!" She exclaimed and pulled away from him. "My hair." She glared at him and tried fixing her hairs. 

She. Is. Adorable.

Xander chuckled and kissed her cheek. "Sorry baby." He now walked to me and I looked away huffing. He sat beside me and wrapped his arms around my waist. "I am sorry, babe. I told you I am going to be a lot busy now. But hey, now I am here, you should be happy." He said in a playful tone and I rolled my eyes.

I looked at him with a glare. "Xander, you barely stay at home these past few months. It's hard for me to stay alone okay?" He sighed, "I know, I am sorry." I didn't reply. "Mommy, I am hungry." Paige said smiling and I smiled back. "I will make something." "Ver-" I ignored Xander and walked to the kitchen.

A few minutes later, I felt two arms wrapping around my waist. "Please forgive me." He said in that pleading tone with puppy eyes. I couldn't help but giggle. "Okay okay." I said giggling and pecked on his lips. He smiled and walked away from there.

I prepared some snacks and we all ate together. Me and Xander didn't talk much but he would stare at me often. Paige kept talking about some things which I really didn't pay attention to cuz she was talking to Xander. 

Yeah, I know. She likes Xander more than me. -.-

After eating, I washed the dishes and sat in the living room, watching Paige play with her dolls. "Hey." Xander said sitting beside me and I looked at him. I saw something purple-ish on his neck and furrowed my eye brows in confusion.

"Hey, what's that?" I asked pointing to whatever that hickey-looking thing was. He looked at his neck and his eyes widened. I swear I saw some guilt in his eyes before it turned in to normal. He quickly hid it. "Oh it's nothing. Just m-mosquito bite." He said giving a nervous chuckle and I smiled awkwardly.

I am 80% sure that's NOT a mosquito bite but then what is it? Wait, is he... cheating on me? No way right? He loves me more than anything...

I was snapped out of my thoughts when I felt Paige once again hopping on my lap. "What's wrong mommy?" She asked with a small innocent pout and I shook my head. "It's nothing." I pecked her on the nose and she giggled.

Soon, it became night. Paige had already fallen asleep and I am laying beside her with Xander on the other side of her. I caressed her hairs and looked at Xander who was already staring at me. "You still love me right?" I asked in a soft tone and he chuckled. "Of course I do."

"You would never cheat on me right?" The words came out of my mouth before I could even think about it. He looked at me with a confused look on his face. "Uhh... no...?" It sounded more like a question than a statement and he gave me an unsure look before it turned in to a smile. Forced smile. "Of course not." He said laughing awkwardly and I smiled.

I press my lips on to his and he seemed shock cuz he didn't respond and I didn't even let him. I pulled away with a grin and he glared at me. "Good night, baby." I said with a small smile and he rolled his eyes. "Good night, sweetheart." And then, I closed my eyes and fell asleep.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I woke up in the middle of the night when I heard the bed creaking. It felt like someone was getting out. I opened my eyes and yes, I was right. Xander was getting up from the bed slowly. "Where are you going?" I asked in a groggy voice and his back stiffened as soon as he heard my voice. "Umm... Work."  He said and I couldn't really see his face cuz his back was turning to me. 

"Now?" I asked confused and looked at the time. "Yeah." He replied quickly and went to the bathroom before I could ask anything else.

The hell? Work? Now? Really?

He came out after a few minutes wearing a black jacket and black slacks. "You are going to work wearing that?" I asked pointing at his clothes and he nodded. He quickly combed his hairs. "It's 5am in the morning, do you have to go?" He once again nodded. "Yes, I have to. Bye, I will be back soon." He kissed me on my cheek before hurrying outside.

I sighed and looked at Paige's sleeping figure. A small smile appeared on my face seeing her. I am so glad I have her. I kissed her on her forehead before falling asleep.

''''''

I woke up when I felt the whole bed shaking. Groaning, I opened one of my eyes to see Paige jumping up and down on my bed with a smile on her face. "Mommy!" She squeled and hopped on my stomach making me give out a small groan.

Oh god, this girl sure weighs a lot.

"What is it baby?" I asked and looked at the time. " I am hungry and where's dad?" "Work." I replied and sat up when she got off me. "Again?" She asked in a small adorable sad voice and I nodded giving a small pout. I made breakfast and we both ate together.

"Can we please go to daddy's office?" She asked and I looked at her raising an eye brow. "Why baby?" "I wanna see daddy work. Can we?" I thought for a moment before saying an 'Okay.' She squeled and ran back to one of the rooms. I shook my head and washed the dishes. 

Actually, I do wanna go to his office and see what he is doing all the time. I wore a white over sized tee shirt with a long brown over coat on it and a dark brown skinny jeans. I took Paige and we walked to my car. Yes, I also have a car. We sat and drove off~~~~

I stopped the car in front of a huge building which I know Xander works in. I entered and walked to the receptionist. She looked at me and smiled. "And who might you be?" She asked fixing her glasses. "I am Veronica, Veronica Lanchester and I would like to meet with my husband, Xander." 

"Umm... Mr. Lanchester isn't here yet. His work starts at 1pm and ends at 8pm for most of the time." I looked at her confused. "Umm... he wasn't here at 5:30am or so?" I asked and she shook her head giving a confused look. I could feel my anger boiling in me but I tried to stay calm. "Thank you." I forced a smile and walked to my car. I sat in and started the engine. "Daddy's not there?" Paige asked. "No, he's not." She did not reply and looked out.

I started driving. I know where I am going. I know where he is now. I stopped the car in front of his old mansion. "Baby, stay here." She nodded and I walked out. I stood in front of the door and drew in a breathe.

If I find him here, I don't what am I gonna do...

I rang the door bell and a few seconds later, the door opened revealing a girl who looked around my age probably a bit older. I looked at her clothes and she wore nothing but a towel. She gave me a confused look. "Jessica baby, who is-" Xander's voice boomed through the house and he stopped in his mid sentence as soon as he saw me. And there he was, standing shirtless with his pants unzipped.

"V-Veronica?" He asked in a small voice and I shook my head at him with tears forming in my eyes. "Work? This is your work, I see. I never thought you could do this to me, Xander. I thought you loved me!" I yelled out the last line and slapped him hard across the face. "Veronica, baby, lis-" "Don't, fucking start. We are done, Xander. We are done." With that, I stormed back to my car. I heard him yelling my name, but I ignored him.

I started the engine and roughly wiped my tears. "Mommy? Where's dadd-" "He's not your fucking daddy anymore! Your daddy fucking cheated on me!" She gasped as soon as I cursed. I could see tears building up in her eyes but, I don't know is it because of me screaming or hearing Xander cheating. 

I drove us back home. I immediately took out my luggage and started throwing whatever is mine. A few minutes later, the door flung open and I didn't bother looking at who is it. "Veronica baby, please give me another chance. I-I love you." He started begging, but I didn't even bother hearing what he said. I threw in everything me and Paige needed and zipped the luggage.

I walked to Paige with Xander still pleading beside me. "We are leaving, Paige. Let's go." I said in a rough voice and Paige was quick to follow. I stood in front of the front door. "Veronica, please please please, don't leave me. Please please, give me another chance. I know I did a mistake. Please, don't leave me." He was crying at this point and my heart ached to see him like this but, I didn't melt down. 

I opened the front door and walked to my car. I put the luggage in the backseat and made Paige sit in the passenger seat. "Goodbye daddy." She whispered, her eyes full of tears. She sat in the passenger seat and I closed the door. I was about to enter, but Xander grabbed my wrist. "Please. I love you. Please don't leave me." "Xander, let me go." But he kept begging. I roughly yanked my wrist from his grip and entered the car.

"Goodbye Xander. I loved you very much but... I am sorry."

 "Veronica, I love you, pl-" 

Those were the last words I heard from his mouth before I drove off. I left this country and settled in Paris with Paige by my side. In the end, we both went in our separate ways and then suddenly that thought came in to my mind-

                    Am I just his toy?

                                    The End
