The Tragedy of Us
Trailer
They weren’t supposed to fall in love so early.
At eighteen, while everyone else was choosing careers and chasing dreams,
Evenly chose liam and liam chose her
liam Cross
“We’re really doing this?”
Liam asked, holding her hand outside the small registrar office.
Elena Hayes
Elena smiled 🙂
Elena Hayes
“We already did
Elena Hayes
The moment we chose each other.”
Marriage was never part of the plan.
But love made its own rules.
Months later, their small apartment was filled with soft cries and quiet laughter
A baby.
A new life.
A reason to keep going.
liam Cross
“She has your eyes,” Liam whispered,
Holding their daughter carefully.
Elena smiled, tired but happy.
Elena Hayes
“No… she has your heart.”
For a moment, everything felt perfect.
But the past doesn’t stay buried.
He had been watching Elena Long before she became a wife…
long before she became a mother.
And now, he couldn’t accept that she belonged to someone else.
？？？
“Do you know what it feels like,” ❄️
his voice was calm but cold
？？？
“to love someone who never even noticed you?”
Elena stepped back, fear creeping into her voice.
Elena Hayes
You don’t love me.
？？？
“That’s why I can’t let you live a life without me.”
？？？
pushed her on the bed then rips off her clothes
Elena Hayes
No no pls stop
Elena Hayes
I have a child at home waiting for me
They tried to move on from the past and
Pretend it never happened.
Elena Hayes
Liam… I think he’s still watching me,
Elena whispered one night, holding their child closer.
liam Cross
“I won’t let anything happen to you again.”
But even he didn’t sound convinced.
The present felt normal.
Work. Home. Family.
But fear lived quietly between them.
Until one day… it came back.
？？？
“You really thought you could be happy?”
The voice returned—calm, familiar, terrifying.
Elena Hayes
Elena’s hands trembled.
Elena Hayes
“No…” she whispered. “Not again…”
the flashback of that came again
the night where he ruined her not only body but her soul and mind also
but it happened again he ruined her again infront of her husband
Elena Hayes
why me she whispered to herself after that man ruined her and left from there
Days turned into silence.
Elena stopped smiling.
Stopped sleeping.
Stopped being the person Liam fell in love with.
Elena Hayes
“I can’t escape him,” she said one night, staring at nothing.
Elena Hayes
“He’s everywhere… even when he’s not here.”
liam Cross
Liam’s voice broke.
“You’re here. You’re with me. That’s what matters.”
Elena Hayes
“I wanted to be a good mother…” Elena whispered, tears falling silently.
“I wanted to stay.”
liam Cross
“Stay,” Liam begged. “Please just stay.”
Elena Hayes
She shook her head slowly.
“I’m trying… but I’m already gone.”
Their daughter cried in the next room.
Liam held Elena’s hand tighter.
But some things… can’t be held together.
In the end, it wasn’t just what the villain did to her body…
It was what he did to her mind.
Elena didn’t lose in a moment.
She faded.
Piece by piece.
Until love… wasn’t enough to bring her back
And somewhere in the shadows—
He was still watching.
A love that started too early… and ended too painfully.
The First Time
The campus was alive with noise.
Students rushing. Laughter everywhere. Life moving fast.
Elena walked through it all quietly, holding her books close.
She smiled.
But she never stayed long.
student
“Hey Elena!”
“Are you coming later?”
“Don’t forget the notes!”
Elena Hayes
She nodded, soft and polite.
She was used to being noticed.
A black car stopped near the gate.
Heads turned instantly.
liam Cross
Liam stepped out, calm, distant… like none of it mattered.
But it did.
It always did.
student
“Is that him?”
“The rich guy?”
“I heard he lives alone…”
Liam walked past them all—
Until he saw her.
Elena stood under a tree, focused on her notes, unaware of everything around her.
For a moment—
Liam stopped.
Elena Hayes
She looked up.
“Yes?”
liam Cross
He held out a pen.
“You dropped this.”
Elena Hayes
She blinked.
“…that’s not mine.”
liam Cross
Liam paused, then said quietly—
“Then I needed a reason to talk to you.”
Elena Hayes
She stared at him… then smiled a little.
“That’s not a good reason.”
A small silence.
Not awkward.
Just new.
Elena Hayes
“I’m Elena,” she said.
Elena Hayes
She frowned slightly.
“That sounds weird.”
liam Cross
“People say your name a lot.”
Elena Hayes
Her eyes softened in recognition.
Oh… so you’re that Liam.
liam Cross
Depends what you heard.
Elena Hayes
She closed her book.
So what do you want?
Elena Hayes
Liam looked at her, honest for once.
I don’t know yet.
That made her laugh.
A real one.
Elena Hayes
Then figure it out, she said, turning to leave.
But don’t use fake reasons next time.
liam Cross
Liam watched her walk away.
For the first time in a long time—
Something felt different.
From a distance—
Someone else was watching.
Silent.
Still.
Unseen.
Elena didn’t look back.
Liam didn’t move.
And neither of them knew—
This was how their story would begin.
Closer Than Expected
The next day felt… normal.
Elena sat in class, trying to focus on the lecture.
But her mind kept drifting.
Back to him.
Elena Hayes
“That’s not a good reason…”
Elena Hayes
She sighed quietly, shaking her head.
Elena Hayes
Why am I even thinking about that?
student
Thinking about what?
Elena Hayes
Nothing,
Elena said quickly. Just tired.
Instead, he sat in the empty cafeteria, staring at a cup of coffee he hadn’t touched.
Noah
You’re skipping lectures now?
liam Cross
have you ever meet someone… and it feels different?
Noah
noah raised an eyebrow.
Liam leaned back slightly.
liam Cross
Like they don’t see what everyone else sees.
Or maybe you’re the one seeing something new.
He wanted to see her again.
Elena walked out of the library, adjusting her bag.
And stopped
He was there.
Leaning casually against the wall like he’d been waiting.
Elena Hayes
You again? she said.
liam Cross
This time I’m not using a fake reason.
Elena Hayes
Oh? she crossed her arms. Then why are you here?
liam Cross
To ask you something properly.
Elena Hayes
That’s your ‘proper’ way?
liam Cross
It’s better than lying about a pen.
She tried not to smile.
Failed a little.
Elena Hayes
Fine, she said. “Just for a bit.😊
They walked side by side.
Not too close.
Not too far.
Elena Hayes
So, Elena said, you always wait outside libraries
She glanced at him, surprised by how easily he said it.
Elena Hayes
You’re very direct.
liam Cross
I don’t like wasting time.
Elena Hayes
Or maybe you’re just not used to people saying no.
liam Cross
Liam smirked slightly.😏
liam Cross
That doesn’t mean I always will.
A small silence fell again—
Comfortable this time.
Elena Hayes
Why do people talk about you so much? Elena asked.
liam Cross
Because of money.
liam Cross
And because I don’t give them anything else to talk about.
Elena Hayes
She nodded slowly.
That sounds lonely.
liam Cross
Liam looked at her.
It is.
For a moment—
Neither of them joked.
Elena Hayes
Then Elena spoke softly—
I get it.
liam Cross
Liam frowned slightly.
You do?
Elena Hayes
I grew up alone too,” she said. Just… without the money part.
Something shifted.
Not curiosity.
Understanding.
From across the path—
Someone watched them again.
Closer this time.
Elena Hayes
Hey,
Elena said, stopping.
Elena Hayes
She looked ahead, then shook her head.
…nothing. I thought I saw someone.
liam Cross
Liam followed her gaze.
But there was no one there.
liam Cross
Probably nothing, he said.
Elena Hayes
Yeah, Elena whispered.
But something didn’t feel right.
They kept walking.
Talking.
Laughing a little more.
And without realizing it—
They were already getting closer.
While somewhere nearby—
Someone had already decided…
She belonged to him.
