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 90

Alicia finally started drinking, and I looked up to see Gardenia falling asleep. "Ash. She can't sleep. You gotta burp her" I told him. He nodded and shifted Gar's position. I watched as he started gently patting her back. Surprisingly, it took less than a minute for her to burp. Alex coaxed her to sleep before slowly placing her inside of a crib. "You're gonna be a great dad"

Alex smiled at me and kissed my head. "You're gonna be a great mom" he mumbled into my hair. Once again, loud cries came from the cribs. Alex picked up David and walked back over to me. "Look, it's my mini-me"

I laughed as Alicia finished up. "Switch. Again" Alex chuckled as he started burping Alicia, and I fed David. "Deja-vu" I stated.

"We're so lucky that this room is soundproof. Everyone would be awake by now" he said.

I nodded in agreement. "What time is it anyway?" I asked. Alex stopped patting Alicia's back and pulled out his phone.
