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.

I quickly let go of him. "Sorry. I just missed you" I told him as I ruffled up his hair. "You missed a lot" I informed him.

He frowned and nodded his head. "You broke the bond" he stated. Hesitantly, I nodded my head. I wasn't sure how he would react. The bond was important to both of us. We've been bonded for as long as I could remember. I made the decision to break it without asking him if it was okay- I couldn't really ask him, but I still made the decision by myself.

Keith sighed. "Alicia. I have to tell you something" he said softly.

I noticed him glancing at Gardenia. "Um... Can we have a few minutes?" I asked my sister. She nodded and quietly left the room. "What is it?" I inquired.

Keith ran a hand down his face. "Your father put a block in my mind. When I woke up, I just remembered a bunch of things. Important things" he said quickly.
