"You need to leave too." She commented with a bit of anger. After kissing Sophia, she distanced herself and ignored me. I thought that my announcement and words will un-break her heart. However it seemed to make her unreachable. 

The rest of her group came in, after our kiss. I wanted more time with Sophia to assure that she won't push me further away but apparently fate is not on my side. I could still feel her lips on mine and I am sure that the kiss never left her brains. I find her sometimes touching her lips lightly as if remembering what happened. That simple reaction of hers made me smile but all other events made me furious: Firstly, Luca Felton , her lawyer and new boss came to help her move too. She presented me to him as her soon to be ex-husband. The man kept looking at us weirdly then hushed something to Sophia. I tried to overhear him but my anger of his sudden closeness to her kind of numbed my senses. He stood too close and she didn't pull away. Also for the rest of the day, the two continued to talk about their legal achievements and I couldn't keep up with all the terms so I gave up and just helped Mitchell and Bless around the house.More than that when the movers came to deliver the new furniture to Sophia's house, they called her by her old name Miss.Lewis. I tried to correct them but alas Sophia just ignored me and welcomed them in. 

"Why would I leave my wife alone?" I asked as I looked at her features. How did II miss such a beauty for a very long time? How did I ignore her eyes, lips, smooth skin, and most of all her inner beauty? How did I not fall instantly for her? 

"Axel, look" Sophia said sounding very serious " I might have kissed you before." She continued 

"You did and I have to say that I miss that. I miss you in every way possible. I am not asking you to forgive me immediately but give me a chance, just this once I promise. I miss holding you near me. I miss waking up next to you...I never was this cheesy but see what you have done to me ? " I asked or yelled making her eyes double in size

"Why risk losing few years and breaking my heart..? I am tired, Axel. It was easier to consider you a stranger than to fall in actual love with you." She murmured and her eyes shined with new gained tears 

"But we already fell in love...There is no going back now. We are not wizard and witches. We cannot change the past and future. We fell in love so that is that. You are married to me. You are mine Sophia , not Adam's, not Ezra's, not Luca's. I don't want to move out of my room. You know what , I spent the last ten days on less than four hours of daily sleep. I missed you." I confessed and walked closer to her yet her eyes didn't soften at all.

"Maybe we are just like Harry and Hermione...Maybe we just don't belong and we might have no powers but there is something called divorce...Few words and ink and we can be freed." She answered stepping backwards 

"I won't sign a thing, Gem." I threatened walking closer to her

"Axel, please, I just need time to heal..." She replied finally her back hitting the wall 

"What if we heal together? Take it slow, explore our feelings, go on dates, then slowly renew our vows?" I suggested as I caged her with my arms circling her waist and my face resting in the crook of her neck

"You don't need healing. I am the only one who was used and thrown." She commented in a small voice as her breaths hitched and her body became stiff

"I need healing too because my heart ached since you left." I promised but she just sighed

"Axel, I am getting a divorce." Sophia said after few moments making me feel a pang of pain. My head snapped towards her and her eyes now connected with mine. I saw determination yet pain in her eyes. I was also sure that my eyes mirrored just the last emotion of hers, pain.

"I promise you to change." I begged but she just shook her head

"I don't need you to change." she replied her hands cupping my cheeks 

"I can give the company up and travel with you away from Liza." I suggested again not wanting to let go

"I will never ask you to do that." She said with a small smile

"I need you Sophia. I love you." I promised again

"I love you too." she promised back

"then why? Why break us apart and torn our hearts?" I blamed tightening my grip on her and bringing her closer to my chest

"Because this , all this marriage, started on the wrong foot. If I get kids and they grow, I don't want to tell them that I married their dad for the sake of a company. Axel, I may not believe in fairy tale love but I at least deserve a fair chance to find what they call true love. We are not living in some kind of a cheesy movie or a usual chickflick that is why I cannot forget how we started, those two years of total ignoring bullying and watching my husband falling for another woman...I just need a clean start." She said or begged or pleaded as her fingers released my face and her hands drew and circled my neck. Sophia, surprisingly stood on her tiptoes and hugged me tight as if for dear life. I was so unsure of what to do yet when I heard her sniffing I just did the only thing that sounded logical. I returned my head to her shoulder and my hands drew circles on her back as I tried to shush her cries.

"Wrong foot or not, this marriage resulted in me meeting you and I cannot be more grateful." I commented as I hugged her closer if it was even possible

"I grateful to meet you too but I need to heal..." she said after catching her breaths

"It is okay gem, I will wait for you." I promised while my own tears started to gather

"What if it takes long? What if you have a change of heart? I am going to miss you so much..." she said back her sobs becoming louder

"I am just a phone call away and my heart is yours forever." I assured her 

"Okay." She said nodding and still holding me tightly

"Good" I replied cherishing her warmth as much as I still can
