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.

"Go change. I'll wait out front" Jeremy told me. Nodding, I walked inside the castle and to my room.

However, I didn't make it to my bedroom. A woman had stopped me. I never met her before, but it seemed as if she knew me. I get that a lot around the castle. "Alicia!" the woman exclaimed, wrapping her arms around me. I moved to hug her back, but she was already pulling away. She backed up a step or two and scanned my body. "You're gorgeous!" she complimented.
