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.

After running a hand through his blonde hair, Uncle Matthew came up to me. I gave him a small smile. "Why didn't you go?" he asked.

"The blood" I mumbled. A look of understanding crossed his face. "Is it over?" I questioned.

He nodded. "They're all dead" he confirmed. I sighed in relief. "Let's go inside. Stinson probably kicked them out by now" he stated.

I followed him inside the castle and to the hospital wing. Mom was pacing in front of the hospital room. David was sitting on the floor with blood covering his clothes. Dad was leaning against the wall with his poker-face. Slowly, I made my way to my family. "David, go wash up. The operation will probably take a while, so you have time"

David nodded before jogging down the hallway. Next person. I walked to Dad and gently put my hand on his arm. "You don't have to act emotionless. It's your daughter in there, its okay to be sad and worried" I assured him.
