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 swallowed my food before answering her. "She's gonna shower" I stated before an ache erupted in my chest. Frowning, I looked up at the ceiling. I knew I was feeling Alicia's pain. She was sad, and I knew for a fact that she was crying. "Can you get your mother for me, please? Tell her that I'll be in my office" I asked.
