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 27

"Why would you still sleep with Wendy when you know what it does to me?" I asked softly. "I was already weak. I was in a coma from everything. W-why would you do that?" I hated how broken I sounded, but I needed to know. I should be strong. I'm supposed to be Queen. I hated how weak he made me feel.

"I didn't sleep with Wendy," Alex said. I raised an eyebrow. "I mean I did sleep with her, but that was before you went into the coma. It was before you left," he explained.

"But it was after you rejected me?" I asked.

Alex nodded. "It was a stupid move. I know. I just couldn't get you out of my head, so-"

"So you got laid," I stated bluntly.

Alex shook his head. "We had sex, but its not like I did it to intentionally hurt you. I didn't know this would happen."

"Well it did happen. And it hurt like hell," I said bitterly.

Alex walked forward until he was next to my bed. "I know," he said quietly.
