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 22

Nodding, I moved away from Jeremy. I walked into the pack house and went straight to the kitchen. I saw Gardenia attempting to calm down her hysterical mother. I cleared my throat, but they didn't hear me. "I can't believe we lost her again" Em cried out.

Frowning, I took a few steps closer. "Hello?" I called out. Are they deaf?

Em continued to cry while Gardenia wrapped her arms around her mother. "I can't do this again. I can't go through that again" Em sobbed.

"Queen?" I sang. "Em?" I said as I got closer. I guess they can't hear over her loud crying. "Mom!" I shouted.

The crying stopped as Gardenia pulled away from Em and slowly turned around. "Thank god, you're okay!" Em exclaimed as she ran towards me. She wrapped her arms around me as she breathed in my scent.

I awkwardly hugged her back. "I just went out with Jacobs" I stated.
