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 17

After the blood-bag was filled, there was a knock on the door. Sam came inside with Stewart, Jesse, and Jeremy; whilst the doctor left. Jeremy is Stewart's son. If I remember correctly, he is 22. Sam, Stewart, and Jesse bowed and I smiled at them. Slowly, I helped Gar stand up. "Hey guys" she greeted them.

Jesse came towards us and supported Gar's weight. "Do you wanna go lie down?" he asked politely. Gar accepted his offer and excused herself. Jesse helped her walk and they disappeared out the door.

Stewart gave me a soft hug. "Where's Alex?" he questioned. I shook my head in response. Alex didn't want to come because he felt that he would only make things worse between us and Alicia. Honestly, he's not handling the situation very well. I mean, he put kids in cells.

I shook the thoughts out of my head and mustered up a smile. "Its been a while, Jeremy" I stated. He didn't even acknowledge my presence. I cleared my throat. "Jeremy" I called.
