such using him to help her overthrew her own brother, so she can be Queen? Was she then truly in love with Anthony Marcus after Caesar's death or again using him thinking he will be the next "Caesar"?

well yes it's love.
but you must differenate Cleopatra's definition of love with our common definition of love.
Cleopatra might love power and that she found it in Caesar. so yes she loves Caesar.
Just like us, though it might not power, it can be affection, or etc.
why do you love your boyfriend ? if you said you love him because himself then you have to describe your boyfriend. the qualities in your boyfriend that what makes you love him.
and so with Cleopatra love the qualities of Caesar which is power. and when your boyfriend suddenly not giving the qualities you love, of course you dump him or you might go cheating.
because love itself selfish.

Her true and secret love was Marc Anthony but there is a doubt there becaue he had power too. But even thought she may have loved Caesar, she obviously wanted a lot of power and power to her was more important then love.

Love, hate, admire and so on are for everyday people!
Leaders are above those! They have to succeed in certain endeavors and feelings come next, if they ever appear!
Thus, Cleopatra used any possible way to get onto the throne, stay there and keep her state, Egypt, independent from Romans!

Firstly; Cleopatra is a *****. Caesar is leader of Rome in latest days of re publica, and he is like a dictator but not. And he wanted to use cleopatra for world dominion. cleopatra really fall in love m. antonius. she and he was killed in their arms together by octavianus who is a nephew of caesar and is augustus.

WOW ! History questions. Like lecturing in a henhouse.
Alright, Cleo was a social climber -privately a libertine, who took her opportunity/ies and ran with them.
Love ?...probably meaningless at that level of power.
We can never really know, can we. All we know are the reported events, we can work reasoned inferences from those.

She was probably in love with him to a point, but used his power to her own adnavtage, so a little of both...
