SOFIA'S POV:

Harmony got up and left without saying anything not even a glance. That's it, I snapped
"What is wrong with you?, She never said anything to me. On the contrary, she begged me to stay with you and that you'll never be able to love her. You know what Adrain? You don't deserve her or me. If you can raise your hands on her what happens when I make you angry? You'll hit me too?" My body was shaking from intense anger
  "S.. Sofie, y..you know I can never hurt you" he tried reaching for me but I pulled away.
  "NO!!, You're not the man I fell in love with. Harmony loves you unconditionally, she kept quiet when I came to the house knowing how much I mean to you. Not all women would let their husband bring home another woman but she did that because she wants you to be happy, but you Adrian, tell me what nice thing you have done for her?, You crossed the line today Adrian Ivan Stone. I'll rather go back to my stepfather than be with you" I walked away crying but gave him one final glance
  "You don't know what you have lost Adrian" with that I left him standing there with his mouth open.

I went to the house in hope to find Harmony but, she wasn't in her room. In fact, there was no sign of her existence in the whole house. I fell down on the floor crying
"What have I done?, It's all my fault. If I hadn't come into their lives, they would have probably still be together"

I spent the rest of the night crying and cussing my self.

ADRAIN'S POV:

I fell on my knees watching Sofia go. What have I done?, Not to just Sofia but H..harmony? I can't even bring myself to say her name.

I messed up, I couldn't sleep in the house tonight so, I went to crash at Lamar's place.

He placed a bottle of whiskey which I grabbed quickly and started drinking.
"Heyyy, easy man" he took the bottle and poured the drink into a glass
"You want to talk about it?" He sipped from his glass.
"I don't know what to do or feel. I feel so alone, even worst than when Sofie was taken away the first time" which is true. I can't help but hate myself for raising my hands to Harmony. She has done nothing but care and love me despite the kind of man I am.
"Do you feel bad about what happened with Harmony or Sofia's outburst" he peered at me
"I feel so bad that Sofia sees me like that but, I hate myself for what happened between Harmony and I. You know she would always fight with me and call me names. She made me feel like my old self again and when she smiled, it felt like the whole world stops and stares for awhile. She's amazing but i hurt her repeatedly, Sofie was right I don't deserve her" I laughed remembering our honeymoon, our fights and pranks
"It seems like you've also fallen in love with her man" I shook my head
"That can't be true man, you only fall in love once and I have, with Sofie." I looked down at my glass
"That's bullshit bro, you can fall in Love countless of times, think about it, how do you feel about Harmony " he got up to leave but I decided to pull his legs a little
"Hey, since when did you become a love guru?" I joked with him
"Shut up" he laughed going to his room.

Thinking about what Lamar said, do I really love Harmony?,  Always wanting to be with her, annoy her, can't stand it when she doesn't talk to me, feeling like my heart was going to burst when she's sad, does that mean that I love... Crap!!

I am in love with her. How do I apologise to her. Gosh, I'm so screwed. I decided to go home and at least try to apologise. I won't stop till she forgives me.

I drove home and felt that something was wrong. The silence was just too much. I called out to Harmony but, there was no answer.

I went to her room and knocked on the door but got no response. I knocked again but the door opened by itself.

I went into her room and found it completely bare. I know she wasn't the type that cared how she looked or was even a fan of any celebrity or so but, I wasn't expecting her room to be so empty.

I went further into her room but couldn't find her clothes or any of her belongings. I called Gwen to come up to her room immediately.

"Where's my wife?" For the first time I actually called her my wife and I meant it
"Sh..she left sir, and she asked me to give you this." She handed me a letter.
"What do you mean she left? To her parents house?" I took the letter inspecting it
"I don't know sir" she left me alone to read the letter

Dear Adrian,

  From the first time I met you, I knew I would fall completely in love with you. There was just something that attracted me to you. Getting to know you has been a wonderful experience in my life. I learnt what it meant to love, how to be selfless, and how to sacrifice.

I felt bad at times when we newly married due to your behavior towards me but I got to see a side of you I didn't know you were capable of possessing.

Every moment with you was pure Bliss well, at Least for me. I didn't know that I was an inconvenience or a curse as you put it. I never had intentions of coming between you and your beloved and I never will.

I have accepted the fact that you and I were never meant to be together. But, you'll always be my forever, my first love. I don't know if you'll ever forgive me for ruining your life so, I have decided to free you from this burden.

I hope life treats you kind, and I hope, you have all you've dreamed of, I also wish you joy and happiness but above all this I wish you love.

                                            Harmony

Tears left my eyes as I re-read the letter over and over again. No, this can't be true, she can't leave me.

I know I have done some shitty things, I know I crossed the line but I didn't expect her to leave me. What have I done?

I fell on the floor crying when Sofia came carrying her bags
"S..sofia" I called out to her but she shook her head at me
"You deserve this Adrain. I hope you are happy she's gone but, don't think I'm going to stay here with you. I'm leaving as well" I got up to plead with her
"Please Sofie, don't leave me too. I don't know what I'll do, please I beg you" she shook her head and then left.

I am officially alone, I lost everything today, that too on my birthday. Today is the worst day of my entire life. Not only did I loose the girl I have loved for so many years, I also lost my Harmony, my soulmate
