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 52

"Just rest until dinner. I'll take care of Elise and Matthew. The coronation can wait a few days. Just go home," Emasaid softly.

"But you can't do it alone. These kids are a handful," Jordyn said while motioning towards the crying baby and Matthew, who just spilled his whole bowl of cereal.

"I'll help," I said while picking Elise up from her high chair. She started moving around until she stuck her thumb in her mouth and her crying stopped.

"See, Jordyn. We'll be fine. Go home," Emasaid.

Jordyn reluctantly nodded. "Call me if anything- and I mean anything- goes wrong," she said before leaving the castle.

Emapicked up the empty bowl and put it in the sink before cleaning up the cereal. Matthew watched her with a frown on his face. I put Elise back in her high chair so I could get Matthew more cereal.
