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 21

Matthew nodded with a smile on his face. "He is nice. I like him," he said happily. "Do Mommy and Daddy know that he is staying here?"

My heart dropped at the mention of my parents. I wonder what they told him. "I don't know. I've been asleep remember?" I said.

"Did Auntie Jordyn tell you what happened?" Matthew asked. I shook my head. "Mommy and Daddy went on a vacation. I've been staying with Auntie Jordyn and Uncle Ryan. But she cries a lot. Uncle Ryan said its because she has a baby girl in her tummy," Matthew rambled. He started telling me about what he did while I was 'sick'.

Apparently, he and my mate are best friends. The thought pains me. The last of my immediate family is best friends with Ass-er. But I'm thankful that he kept Matthew company. He was probably lonely while I was out.
