How to approach a girl that I hurt before (long story)?

(Amanda)
Amanda was my girlfriend, we decided to move to a different city. a few months after our, Covid-19 struck, and we faced financial struggles. but we managed to earn During the lockdown she got a job and me as freelancer

During this time, I noticed a change in Amanda's behavior, I trusted her completely but discovered she had been cheating. I couldn't move due to the lockdown. So, I ended up living with her. While things seemed to cool down, Eventually, I had the opportunity to move and stay with a friend, but Amanda's constant calls I decided to give her a second chance.

(Amanda - Second Chance)
2 years, things started fine and later turned dramatic and problematic. Every conversation turned into an argument for no reason, and our physical intimacy to four times a year. It felt like we were housemates than a couple. During one argument, she told me, she hated me and that we were merely housemates. After hearing this, I moved out and went back to my friend's place.

(Maria)
While staying at my friend's place, I met Maria, and we ended up sleeping together. I wanted to be with Maria, but I had to return to Amanda's place to collect the rest of my belongings. Amanda questioned me about moving out, unaware of Maria's existence. I decided to be honest and told her about what she said during our argument. She apologized, but I moved out after two weeks.

I tried to maintain contact with Maria, I didn't want any more drama, so I kept my involvement with Maria a secret. When I finally went back to Maria, she was hurt, wondering why I didn't call or text her, and why I had slept with her if I wasn't serious about our relationship. I felt terrible, and though I apologized, she was still hurt. She asked for space, which I respected, but I genuinely want to apologize properly and make things right.

Now, almost a year later, I want to talk to Maria again, but I'm not sure how to approach her and what to say to mend things between us.
