MONIQUE

Nadia steps closer, her tone calm but firm. “Marcus, breathe. Don’t let him do this to you.”

For a moment, Marcus doesn’t respond. Then slowly… painfully… I feel his grip loosen just a little. His eyes shift from the door back to me And just like that, the tension cracks.

Not entirely gone, but cracked.

“I’m fine,” he says, though we all know that’s not true.

“Liar,” I murmur softly, brushing my thumb over his hand. “But I’ll take it.”

That earns me the faintest hint of a smile.

    MONIQUEHis hands moved, warm and familiar, like he was trying to remind me of everything we hadn’t had time for.... But I pulled back gently.He looked at me.That look.Half amused. Half frustrated.“Come on,” he said, his voice low. “It’s been like a hundred years.”I crossed my arms slightly, trying not to smile.“Doctor’s orders,” I said. “Until they say you’re fully recovered and can handle… exertion, we are not going there.”He stared at me unapprovingly. Then let out a dramatic groan as he fell back against the bed.“I can’t believe you.” he groaned.I laughed. I couldn’t help it. Because he was alive. He was here. Arguing with me. Smiling. Healing. Everything felt like it was finally, slowly… falling into place.Little did I know that the next day I would go to work at the office, and I would have a surprise waiting for me.*The next day started normally, as it always did, with Marcus trying to get me to stay in bed with him. Of course, him trying to get into my pants and me

    MONIQUEThat made me pause.“What should I do?” I asked quietly.“Let me help,” Nadia said simply. “Start with that.”I exhaled slowly.“Go to work. Just half a day. Delegate the rest. That’s why Henry is there.” she added.I let out a small, humorless laugh.“I want to know everything,” I admitted. “Every detail.”“And you will,” she said. “Just not all at once.”I finally nodded. I knew She was right.“Thank you,” I said softly. “I think I needed that.”Her expression softened.“You’re doing better than you think,” she said.I shook my head slightly.“It doesn’t feel like it.”“That’s because you’re comparing yourself to Marcus,” she pointed out. “He didn’t wake up one day and become who he is today. He failed. He built again. He learned.”I looked down at my hands.“You’ve been doing this for what… a week?” she added. “And you’re still standing.”That hit something deep inside me. Before I could stop it, my vision blurred, I stood up abruptly and walked around the desk. Nadia didn

  • DIVORCED MORNING AND REMARRIED TO HIS BROTHER BY NIGHT   Exhaustion

    MONIQUEI wasn’t expecting to do or say that honestly.I didn’t plan it. The words just… came out. And once they were out, there was no taking them back. No softening them. No pretending I hadn’t just stepped into something far bigger than myself.So I stood by them. I braced myself for reality to hit, for someone to tell me I had overstepped, that I didn’t belong there. But that didn’t happen.Marcus agreed with me. He took my side without hesitation, without even a conversation beforehand. And somehow, that made everything feel better than I expected. Like I wasn’t about to fall. I couldn’t have been happier.Ryan would rather have died than give me even a glimpse into that world, his world, his office, his power. A place I was always told wasn’t mine. But this? This was different. This felt like ours, and I didn't contribute a single cent to it.Still, even as I tried not to think about Ryan, about everything he had done, the damage lingered. It showed up in the smallest ways, in h

    MARCUSShe’s right, of course she’s right. I’m still recovering. Still healing. Still learning how to stand without feeling like my body might give out on me.And this.... This isn’t something you fix in one conversation, or ten, or ever.I swallow, then nod once. Not to him. To her.“I’m tired,” I say simply. It’s not a lie.Nadia steps in immediately, reading the shift like she always does.“Alright,” she says gently. “That’s enough for today.”She looks at him then, not unkindly, but firm. “You should go for now.”He hesitates just for a second. Like he wants to say more. Do more. Be more. But then he nods.“Okay.”He looks at me one last time.“I’ll come back.”I don’t respond and He leaves quietly without argument. The door closes behind him, and the tension in the room finally breaks. I exhale slowly, my shoulders dropping.Monique turns to me immediately.“Hey,” she murmurs, her hand coming up to my face, her touch soft, grounding. “You okay?”I look at her. Really look at her

    MARCUSMonique is already out of the car, around to my side, ready to help me like I can’t do anything on my own. I almost laugh.“I can walk,” I start, my voice still rough, still not quite what it used to be.She gives me a look And just like that, I stop talking. Yeah, that look. I know better than to argue with that look. So I let her help me.Let her slide her arm around me. Let her take some of my weight, even though I don’t need as much as she thinks I do. But I don’t stop her either, because I can tell she needs this.I realised that taking care of me… it steadies her. Grounds her. And honestly? I don’t mind. Not even a little.The driver opens the door, but she’s already there.“I’ve got him,” she says.Of course she does. I shake my head slightly, but there’s a small smile tugging at my lips.We walk inside together. Slow and Careful But together. And for the first time since all of this happened… It actually feels real.Like we made it.Like we survived.Nadia appears almos

  • DIVORCED MORNING AND REMARRIED TO HIS BROTHER BY NIGHT   She Didn't Leave

    MARCUSI don’t think I’ve ever been this aware of silence before. The kind of silence that comes after chaos, after gunshots, after shouting, after everything that should have taken me out for good.Now it’s just the low hum of the engine, the soft sound of tyres against the road… and her hand in mine. I keep holding it. I don’t think I’ll ever let go again. Monique sits beside me, quiet, but not distant. I can feel her presence without even looking at her. Still, I look anyway and I keep looking. Because I need to. Because a part of me is still catching up to the fact that she’s here… that she’s real… that I didn’t lose her. Her head turns slightly, like she feels my stare, and our eyes meet.There’s something in her expression I don’t think I’ve ever seen before. Relief. Fear. Love. All of it tangled together.“You keep staring,” she says softly.My lips twitch.“I almost died,” I answer, my voice still rough, still not fully mine. “I think I’ve earned the right.”She exhales some

    MONIQUEAs Mary showed me around, one of the women inside the command room stepped outside. She was tall, composed, dressed in black, with a small earpiece barely visible against her hair. She walked toward us with quiet authority. Mary immediately straightened, going alert in a way I couldn’t qui

    MONIQUEWhen Marcus pulled back, his forehead rested against mine. “I’m proud of you.”Those words did something to me. Something deep. He kept saying but he didn't know how powerful those words were.“I’m proud of me too,” I admitted.A corner of his mouth lifted. “As you should be.”He glanced to

    MONIQUEMarcus opened the door to his office.Inside, the space was expansive but restrained, no excess, no warmth for the sake of comfort. Floor-to-ceiling windows framed the city as if it were something owned rather than admired. The desk was dark wood, immaculate, positioned so Marcus would neve

    MONIQUEWas he calling me? Why? "What is it about?" I asked."I don't know, but he was calling repeatedly. I think we should go and see what's that about." He answered."Okay," I said, quickly walking out of the bathroom and going in search of my phone.I turned with the towel, barefoot, and went
