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 7

Well, I don't have anywhere else to go. And I can't leave without Keith knowing. He might come here, and they can kill him too. I shook the thought out of my head. I'm not letting that happen. "Okay. But I'm living alone" I stated. David and Gardenia quickly nodded in agreement.

Gardenia's eyes glazed over as she mind-linked someone. "Well, we don't exactly have a house that no one is living in" she said sheepishly.

"But!" David continued for her. "A friend of ours is at Beta training, so he won't be home. I'm sure he wouldn't mind you sleeping there" he stated.

I looked at them questionably. "In like a guest room, right?" I inquired. I don't want to be sleeping in some guy's bed. That's just awkward. The only males I've shared a room, let alone a bed, with are my father and Keith.
