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.

"That's okay. I'll go hang out with Scott," Alex said. We both stood up and I gave him a quick kiss before he walked away. I went to Hope's room, and heard talking.

"He's your mate. Go hang out with him," Hope demanded.

"But you're here. I haven't seen you in the past two years," Britney argued.

"And you just met Shawn," Hope retorted. "I'll still be here when you get back. Shawn wants to take you on a date, so go. It'll be fun, Brit."

"Bu-"

"Go. Before I tell Shawn to drag you out of here."

Britney sighed before she walked out the room. She jumped when she saw me. "My Queen," she said with a slight bow.

I groaned. "You guys make me feel old when you do that." Britney ignored me as she walked down the hallway.

"Hey, Ema," Hope greeted me.

"Hey. Ingrid wants me to talk to you," I said, getting straight to the point.

"What about?"
