Just Once

Three years of marriage brought nothing but a thorn to my heart. My child was critically ill and in need of treatment. My husband didn't care and even called me unfaithful. In my desperation, I sold my body and soul in exchange for the recovery of my child. His name was Benjamin. Dominating the underworld and influencing politics, he was like a poppy that impressed, captivated, broke, and disillusioned me. He said that different from the others who approached me only for sex, he wanted every part of me. He also said that I was his only one and that nothing in this world could compare with me. Then he told me that these were all lies. I told him that these were true to me.

Chapter 17

I shook the thoughts out of my head and headed back to my mate. I walked in and noticed that Jordyn already left. I sat on the chair by Emma's bed and held her hand. I stared at her pale body and began to cry. "I'm so sorry," I sobbed. I apologized over and over again. "This is all my fault and I will never forget it." I kissed her hand. "Please wake up. I'll make it better. I'll fix this. Just wake up," I pleaded.

Her heart-rate was constant, never faltering as I talked. She never moved. Not one twitch. I can't help but think about her never waking up. She could die from this. And it will be my fault.

My mate's death would be on my conscious.

Its been two weeks. Two weeks since I had that fight with Ema. Two weeks since I found out she's a Royal. Two weeks of her being in a coma. And honestly, I'm scared. She hasn't been getting any better. If anything, she's gotten worse. A few days ago, she had a seizure.
