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 59

"That was soo cute!" Hope and I gushed. We looked at each other before I shouted. "Jinx! You owe me a soda!"

Hope glared at me before actually going to the kitchen and getting me a soda. I laughed and thanked her. I sent Hope a questioning look when she backed away from me. She just smiled in return. I opened the can, and it exploded.

Elise, Matthew, and Hope burst into laughter. I rolled my eyes. "Ha. Ha. Ha. Very funny. Now I have to shower," I pouted.

"You should've seen your face!" Hope shouted after me. I didn't make it to my room, since guards rushed into the castle.

"My Queen," they said before slightly bowing. "Wolves have guns, we need to get you and Hope to the backyard," they stated.

"Get Elise and Matthew to the safe house," I ordered. "Let's go," I said while grabbing Hope's arm.

We ran outside into the backyard, but the guards that we ran with disappeared. "Hello?!" we called out, looking around us.
