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 18

I saw that she was having an internal battle with herself. If I was in her position, I would be too. She had a father, kinda. Anthony wasn't blood related, but all the witches said that he treated her well. If I was told that the man who raised me and loved me was my kidnapper; I would probably go crazy.

"I need time. To uh... think" she said slowly. I nodded in understanding and stood up.

Jeremy looked like he wanted to stay with her. 'Maybe give her some time alone?' I suggested through the mind-link. Perks of being Queen. I can mind-link anyone. Jeremy frowned, but left the room.

We all left the room, leaving Alicia to her thoughts.

I decided to just stay at Midnight territory. Gardenia was asleep in one of the guest rooms, and Alicia was still inside her hospital room. Those girls could sleep through a war. Hopefully they don't though.
