Amelia gave her all to the wrong man. She believed in forever, but forever left her shattered. After years of being the woman who always showed up, always gave more, Amelia finds herself abandoned, heartbroken, and questioning everything she once believed about love. But heartbreak is only the beginning. As she begins to pick up the pieces, Amelia discovers the power of choosing herself. Along the way, a stranger with a gentle soul and haunted eyes enters her world not to fix her, but to remind her of what it feels like to be seen, heard, and loved the right way. In a story of second chances, self-worth, and soul-deep healing, "After He Broke Me" is a slow-burning romance that proves love doesn't always hurt and the best kind starts with loving yourself.

Chapter 1 The Beginning of Us

Scene 1: A Chance Encounter

Amelia Hayes was the kind of woman who walked into a room and lit it up without trying. With her soft curls, warm smile, and quiet elegance, she had a presence that lingered. She had just moved to London for her new job as a digital marketer and was adjusting to the city's fast-paced, noisy, and emotionally distant rhythm. That's when she met Elliot Carter, a quiet, brooding software engineer with a dry sense of humour and eyes that held too many secrets.

They met at a friend's dinner party, one of those spontaneous gatherings neither of them had known was happening. Conversation came easy with Elliot, unlike the awkward small talk she was used to. They shared a love for old jazz, indie films, and midnight walks. By the end of the evening, Amelia felt something rare.

Scene 2: Falling Fast

Within weeks, they were inseparable. They had coffee shop dates that turned into long walks along the Thames, where Amelia would talk about her dreams and Elliot would quietly listen. He never said much, but when he did, it felt meaningful. He was emotionally closed off but offered small gestures sending her links to songs that reminded him of her or sharing a random tech joke she barely understood.

Amelia, ever expressive, poured herself into the relationship. She planned dates, bought him thoughtful gifts, supported his start-up dreams, and even helped pay off some of his rent when he hit a tough patch. She didn't mind. It felt like love. She just wished he would meet her halfway.
