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 76

That's what the mate-bond does to you. "But I swear to god, I don't do it on purpose. I'm trying to be a good mate, I really am. I don't mean to do all this shit, it just happens" Really. A good mate? He fucking used an Alpha command on me. And all he says is 'I'm sorry' and 'I don't mean to.' Sometimes apologies aren't enough.

I couldn't help it, I quickly unmuted the phone. Then, I snapped. "Yeah. Shit happens"

"I'm so so sorry" Oh my god. He added another 'so' that makes it so much better. Please, note my sarcasm. "I know that apologizing is never enough, but I will always, always regret rejecting you" Alex stated. He sounded so sad and broken. I know that he didn't mean to do it, but it still hurt.

I want to forgive him, just not right now. I don't think I'm capable of forgiving him, yet. "I just-" I sighed, looking for the right words. "I need time, Alex" I said quietly.

"Okay" Alex agreed. "I love you, so much, baby" Alex said.
