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.

A plate was placed in front of each of us along with a glass of water. Waiters are extremely talented to be able to carry all those dishes at once. "Thanks Christian" I said before he walked away. He half-turned to give me a smile and salute. "You ask something" I suggested as I began twirling my fork in whatever pasta Jeremy had ordered.

He hesitated. "What was life like with Anthony?" he asked quickly,not giving himself time to change his question.

My breath hitched as I slowly brought a bite of pasta to my mouth. I chewed slowly, giving myself time to form an answer. "It wasn't bad. He was a good father. He gave me everything I needed and more. He really provided for me. No matter what his original intentions were; at the end, he loved me like I was actually his daughter" I took a deep breath, swallowing down the lump in my throat- and it wasn't pasta.
