"Being a single mom means that you're on duty 24/7, sweetheart. It means that everything you do, you do it for your children. It means that you're the mom and the dad. It means that you dedicate 99% of your time to your children", My mother told me.
"The other 1% is for you. To let your hair down for a minute and have time for yourself. To have a little fun. Being a single mom doesn't mean that you shouldn't have a life, Zanele".

Funny, because for 3 years, I've never allowed myself to enjoy that 1% ever since my daughter, Arizona, was born.
And the one night I decided to do so and had a steamy, one-night-stand with the sexiest, mysterious man I've ever met, I fell pregnant, AGAIN.
Yes, I had a one-night-stand and fell pregnant. And the cherry on top? He had only given me one name before disappearing.
The name?
Ronaldo.
"Be mine."
I flinch, my mind being brought back to reality. When I hear him say such a thing it instantly made me nervous.
"I can't-."
"You think because you're a Beta and that you have a son...that you can't belong to me?" He questions me curiously.
"I have a debt to handle and I need to take care of my son. Being someone else's is my last objection." I state to him, and I hear him chuckle in my ear.
"Let me help you - leave this kind of job, leave all your hardships behind, leave everything; but your son. Come and be mine exclusively at the castle - my Beta of submission." He tells me, and I look at him in shock. "You be my submissive and I be your dominant - and if you are there I will pay your debt over time with interest."
I see him grin at me, cradling my face. He eyes me fully - as if I already belonged to him...as if I've already said yes.
Even though I haven't even said a word.
