Chapter 14 - Flashback: Heartache

"I need to ask you something?" I asked Sarah. We were still married at the time and I was about Todd's age. It was just a curious question. I didn't expect howling consequences. "Why do you always use my money?"

"Why do you ask such stupid questions?" Sarah asks as she puts Harmony to bed. "We're married. Your money is my money and what's mine is yours."

"You always take my purse and at the end of the day, there's more money in it then there was in the morning. But my bank account is always empty. Is everything all right?"

Sarah kicked the chair and threw an ornament in my face. "It's none of your business."

"OF COURSE, IT'S MY BUSINESS!" I didn't mean to shout, but ceramic clash against my forehead hindered my judgement. "You're out all day and you leave everything to me, but still spend my money. We can't live like this. Something isn't right and you have to tell me."

Sarah stormed over to me, grabbed me by the shoulder and dragged me out of the door. "Get out!" she hissed at me. "I don't ever want to see you again."

I knew it was all over. To this day, I still can't believe that she would do this to me. We were best friends and lovers at school. We made a vow that we would be together forever and ever.

Everything I knew and loved was all a lie. I loved Peace and Harmony and I miss them every day. I still think of them as my daughters and I never forget their birthdays.

The worst thing is that Peace and Harmony would have no idea who I am. They most likely call another man their father. I hope their biological father loves them better than I could.
