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.

The door opened, and I was expecting Em to come back in. But I was completely surprised when Keith stumbled into my office. "Jeremy, right?" he croaked out as he slowly walked deeper into the room. I sprung to my feet and helped him to one of the chairs. "Thanks" he mumbled.

"No problem. And yes, I am Jeremy" I informed him.

He nodded his head. "Are you Bell's mate?" he asked. My eyebrows knitted together in confusion before I realized that he was talking about Alicia. Its confusing to be called more than one name.

I nodded my head at Keith as I sat down in the chair next to him. "I'm sure you already know; but I'm Keith" he introduced himself. "Since Anthony isn't here to give you this speech. I'll do it" he stated.
