“Well, well, well,” Mrs Benett said, clapping her hands slowly together.

Her voice dripped with sarcasm, each word intentionally pointed. “Looks like while the rest of us were losing our minds, you were just out having yourself a day, weren’t you?”

I didn’t respond.

I just straightened in my seat and looked at her, meeting her gaze without a single flinch.

She chuckled as she continued, her eyes trailing over me with a certain mocking delight.

“You look horrible. What happened to you? Don’t tell me you were crying the whole night. Is that it?”

She leaned in with a smirk. “Is that what you were doing?”

Still, I said nothing.

I knew I didn’t look like Monique Moffat, not the version of me people were used to. The woman who always had her makeup flawless, her outfits perfectly tailored, her presence commanding.

But today? I was still in yesterday’s clothes. I didn’t even know where my luggage was, probably somewhere in Ryan’s house, if I could still call that place mine.

All I had were m

    MONIQUEAs I went over the documents, Mr Smith sat back, hands folded neatly, his eyes on me, a soft smile playing on his lips.“Take all the time you need, honey. There’s no rush. I want you to feel completely comfortable before you sign anything.”I nodded, keeping my voice steady. “I’m sorry about this. I need to make sure I understand everything.”“Of course,” Mr Smith answered, his tone gentle. “But, my dear, that’s why no one should ever hand over complete authority blindly. I’m sure you don’t want to repeat the same mistake twice. Your father would want me to advise you the same thing.”I paused at that. I noted the slight emphasis on his words. He was reminding me that I had made a mistake before and that he had been trusted by my father. It raised a small alarm inside me.“Monique,” my aunt said, softly touching my hand, “just breathe through it. Trust your instincts. You’re in control now.”I took a shaky breath, smiling at both of them, and continued reading, slipping throu

    MONIQUEThen Mr Smith turns to me and hugs me too.It’s awkward and hesitant, but it happens.“Welcome, welcome,” he says warmly. “Please, sit down.”He gestures toward the sofas in his office instead of having us sit across from him at his desk.He immediately calls his secretary in. “What would you like to have?” she asks sweetly.“Coffee,” my aunt says.“Water,” I say.“Water for me as well,” Mr Smith adds.As we wait, my aunt and Mr Smith start talking about my mom and my dad, about how fun those times used to be. Most of what they talk about are memories I was too young to remember.I sit there quietly, listening Anyway.Mr Smith smiled softly as he listened to my aunt, nodding along, his eyes warm with nostalgia.“Your father had a way of filling a room,” he said. “Even when he wasn’t speaking, you knew he was there.”“And her mother,” my aunt added with a small laugh that didn’t quite hide the ache behind it. “Always laughing. Always arguing with him about something.”I smiled

    MONIQUEI looked at her, really looked at Aunt Jane, and for the first time, I didn’t just see the woman who had left. I saw someone who had been pushed out. Someone who had been made to feel unnecessary, unwanted, replaceable. Just like I had.“I wish you had fought harder,” I admitted softly. “But I also know how overwhelming and relentless the Bennetts are. They didn’t just surround me. They erased everyone else.”She reached for my hand again, her grip firm this time. Grounding.“I should have fought harder,” she said. “That part is on me. But you need to understand something, Monique. You didn’t choose this because you were weak. You chose it because you were grieving. Because you were alone. And because they knew exactly how to take advantage of that.”My chest tightened. “I feel like every decision I made back then was wrong.”“Of course you do,” she replied gently. “Because you’re finally seeing clearly. That doesn’t mean you were stupid. It means you survived long enough to w

    MONIQUEMy Aunt kept eye contact before continuing."I thought if you really needed me, if you really wanted me in your life, you would have reached out to me, Monique, right? Because you were a whole person, a whole adult with your own heart and your own head. I thought you would look for your aunt, the only real relative you had left.... But you didn’t." He says accusingly before she continues."And years went by. Year after year. And you never reached out.... I thought you were happy. I would sometimes see you in magazines, when the two of you would go out, and you looked happy. How would I have known that they had put you in their cult of family?"The only thing I could do was cry.“I am sorry, Monique, okay? I am so sorry for letting you down. I let all of you down... I have let down your mother. I have let down your father. And I'm just… I'm so sorry.”I didn’t answer her right away as we were both in tears. After everything she had just said, it felt like there was too much ang

    MONIQUEI guess we were doing this, I had to tell her the truth“I know I’m not giving him power of attorney like I did Ryan, but it feels the same. Different language, same control.”She frowned. “Your father let him handle all his legal matters too, Monique.”“I know. But I don’t want that. I want him to handle my inheritance and the divorce. If I need him for something else, I’ll call him. I’ll pay him monthly to be my backup lawyer. I just don’t want someone having every part of my life at the tip of their fingers.”That was my problem with the document.My aunt went quiet for a moment after that. She leaned back in her chair, the paper resting in her hand, and studied me for a second before she asked,“Does this have to do with Marcus?”“What?” I asked with a frown. How did she get to Marcus? I wondered.“What do you mean?” I asked again.“Is Marcus the one who told you not to give Mr Smith all these powers? Is that it? Did he tell you this was too much? Did he put it in your hea

    MONIQUEThe moment they were gone, my aunt turned fully toward me.“What’s going on, Monique? What have you done now?”I swallowed. “Can you sit down?” I asked quietly.“No, I’m not going to sit down,” she snapped. “You make another decision without telling me anything, and I thought we were making all the decisions together.""We are, Aunty. We are, okay? Don’t make this such a big deal. He is only here for security.” She paused, then frowned. “Personal security, isn’t that like a bodyguard? What the hell?”“Yes,” I said softly. “A bodyguard.”“Why do you even need a bodyguard, Monique?” she demanded.“Look, Aunt Jane.” I started, my voice already shaking. “I know we both went through hell together, but I’m just.....”I closed my eyes for a second before opening them again. “I’m scared, Auntie. Okay?”Her face changed instantly. The sharpness melted away as she came toward me and pulled out the chair beside mine, sitting close.“What are you afraid of, darling?” she asked gently.“R
