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 43

"I wasn't happy when you started making out with Wendy a foot away from me," I stated bluntly. Alex didn't say anything, he just looked down at his feet. I walked past him and stopped in front of Ryan, Shawn, and Jacobs. "Who's Gavin?" I asked.

Ryan shrugged. "Never heard that name."

I looked to Jacobs and he shrugged too. "Don't know who that is."

"Maybe he's in Alex's pack," Shawn said. I turned back towards Alex. He was kicking small rocks with his foot.

"Can you ask him, please? I don't think I should..." I trailed off. Shawn nodded and walked to Alex. I looked at Ryan and Jacobs. "So you didn't kill him?" I asked Ryan.

"We're good. I don't trust him, but I'm not gonna kill him" Ryan stated. "Plus, Jordyn's back at the castle making everyone watch some chick-flick with her." I simply nodded.

"What did Gavin say to you?" Alex questioned from behind me.

"You know Gavin? Who is he?" I asked, instead of answering his question.
