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 39

Before I have the chance to reply, Ryan burst into the room. "Where is she?!" Ryan shouted.

Jacobs' sympathy disappeared and he smirked. "She's fine. She's not dead. Yet."

"If you touch one strand on her head, I swear I'll skin you with a silver blade," Ryan growled.

"Who are you talking about?" I questioned. "Is Emaokay?"

"He took Jordyn!" Ryan yelled.

"How?" I asked. Jordyn was back at the castle. She was supposed to be safe with the guards that we assigned to protect her and Elise. "What about Elise?"

Jacobs rolled his eyes. "The baby is fine. I can't say the same about the guards that you left."

"Where is my mate?!" Ryan roared.

Jacobs tsked Ryan and shook his head. "You should be nicer to the man who has your mate's life in his hands," he mused.
