English for Today by Ganiu Abisoye Bamgbose (Dr GAB)
ONCE, ONES, ONE’S
Once means on one occasion or for one time only: I met him just once.
Ones is the plural of one: I know the ones involved in the act.
One’s means that which one possesses: one’s wife should be one’s confidante.
So, one’s attention is specially needed once homonyms such as these ones are to be used in a sentence.
You mind using the three in a single sentence too?

When one’s life depends on the ones you once despise and they despise you, there’s nothing left for you to be proud of.
