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 13

Before I got another hit in, I was pulled away. Strong arms wrapped around me, holding my arms close to my chest. I was lifted off the ground; but I continued to thrash around, trying to loosen the man's grip.

I struggled in his arms as I watched Jesse slowly get off the ground. With pitch black eyes, he sent a blow to my face that knocked me out.

Waking up wasn't fun at all. My head was throbbing and my arms were asleep. Not to mention, the ground was absolutely freezing. I was in a cell. There was a bed and a toilet that I would never even go near. I got up, hearing the clinging of chains. Looking around, I noticed a cuff around my ankle. The chain connected to the cuff was bolted into the cement ground.

I attempted to use my magic, but it was like I was disconnected from it. I couldn't do a simple spell to unlock the chain. I couldn't even teleport!
