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 29

"Alex Joseph Road!" a voice roared at me. Uh-oh. She used my full name. Cringing, I slowly turned around to face my mate. Her angry red face and clenched fists were signals that she obviously heard what happened. "What the hell is your problem?!" she screeched.

I winced at her voice. "I'm sorry" I mumbled. I didn't do it half-heartedly. I mumbled because I felt ashamed. I couldn't even look at my mate anymore. She looked so mad; and her anger was directed at one person. Me.

Em walked closer to me and glared at my head. "That's all you have to say?!" she shouted. I looked down at the ground with a frown on my face. I honestly don't know what else I could say. I made a mistake; and I'm sorry for it. "A mistake?" she chuckled dryly. I guess I should attempt to keep my mental wall up. "You've made more than one mistake" she spat.
