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.

I smiled softly at him, feeling more awake. "Well, thanks for taking care of her. I thought that my brother would have been around somewhere" Where is Dave? I looked around as if he would just pop up out of nowhere. "I actually don't remember seeing him at the party" I muttered.

Phoenix gave me a curious look. "Wasn't it his party too, though?" he questioned. I slowly nodded my head. "No one has seen him?" Phoenix asked.

Shrugging, I turned as Jeremy came in with a mug of steaming coffee. "Do you know if anyone has seen Dave at all last night?" I asked.

Jeremy nodded, carefully handing me the coffee. "I saw him at the party. But that was the beginning. It's like he disappeared" he stated.
