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 51

Keith and Em sat side by side on the couch with controllers in their hands. They viciously pressed the buttons with their thumbs as they shouted at each other. For the third time since I walked in, Keith died. "You're cheating!" Keith accused.

Em rolled her eyes in response, but managed to kill him another time. "I never even played before! How could I cheat?!" she shouted back at him. Honestly, I have no idea why they're shouting. They're literally right next to each other. Em looked like she was just pressing random buttons. Keith knew exactly what he was doing, yet Em continued to kill him.

Laughing, I sat in the love seat and watched Em kill Keith for the eighth time. They continued to bicker about Em cheating, while I silently watched them. I could imagine them as mates; but no one will know until her birthday. After a while, I got bored. There's only so many times that you can watch your best friend get killed before you get bored.
