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 42

Shawn took a step closer to my mate. "Just let it in. You might have to go through the pain, but you're not alone."

Emashook her head and backed away from her best friend. "I-I don't want to turn it on."

"Why not?" Shawn questioned softly.

"Cause everything will come back. Every feeling, Shawn. The guilt, the jealousy, the fear, the regret. Everything. The pain." Ematook a deep breath. "And it's not one at a time anymore. When I turn it on, its all just gonna hit me. All at once. I can't handle that."

"We'll all be here, Ema," I said, making my presence known.

She turned around and glared at me. "I don't want you here," she snapped.

"Too bad. Cause I'm not going anywhere," I stated defiantly and crossed my arms.
