"We can fast tomorrow," I said with a smile. "Today, I just want to talk to God and get some clarity."

Right then, my stomach growled. Loudly.

I was so goddamn hungry. I really wanted to have breakfast. Yesterday with Ryan hovering, I couldn't eat properly. I was not in the mood to fast for Ryan. Why the hell would I want to fast for a man like him? For what?

I wasn’t about to deprive myself of food over his ridiculous behaviour and his stupid black-stone heart. I was already moving away from

  • DIVORCED MORNING AND REMARRIED TO HIS BROTHER BY NIGHT   His Son

    MONIQUEI picked it up. “Hey, baby.”“Hello, precious,” he answered, his voice warm, familiar. “How is your day going?”“It’s going great.”“Yeah?”“Yes,” I said. “I highly doubt it, because Jason told me Mr Bennett was there. What did he want?”I nearly rolled my eyes. I can’t believe Jason went to tell.“It’s nothing of importance,” I said. “I’ll tell you everything when I come home later.”“Are you sure you’re not upset?” he asked. “You sound… different.”“I’m okay,” I said softly. “It’s just...you know how Mr Bennett can be.”There was a small pause.“I know,” he said exhaling.“I’m coming home early today.” A small smile touched my lips as I said it “I love hearing that,” he said. “And I hope you’re resting,” I added.“I am.”“Did you take your meds?”“Yes.”“Everything okay?”Another small pause.“Yes,” he said. “I just miss you.”Something in my chest softened.“Thank you,” I said quietly.“For what?”“For trusting me.”I could almost hear him smile.“If I can’t trust my wi

    MONIQUEHis voice turned almost mocking.“Meanwhile, the other woman had two healthy children. Made Ryan a father and me a grandfather.”A pause. “And guess what happens to Marcus's empire when the two of you are gone?”His eyes locked onto mine.“Ryan’s children....the Bennetts....inherit everything.”Silence. And then, I couldn’t help it. A laugh slipped out of me. The sound surprised even me. A soft laugh at first… then a little louder.Mr Bennett frowned, clearly not expecting that reaction. B“You think that’s funny?” he asked, his tone sharpening.I shook my head, still smiling, though there was nothing amused in my eyes.“No,” I said. “I think it’s pathetic.”His expression darkened.“All of this,” I gestured between us, “this entire speech, this whole… performance. You came in here thinking you had something..... Something that would shake me, something that would make me fall apart.”I took a step closer “And that’s what you chose?” I asked quietly. “My womb?”His jaw tighten

    MONIQUEI didn’t respond. I didn’t need to.The air between us grew heavy, thick with tension. I could feel something like danger coming off Mr Bennett. He looked pretty damn serious and confident about whatever this was.Mr Bennett kept watching me before he suddenly burst out laughing. But I didn’t even blink. I just kept watching him, a blank expression settling on my face.“You’re going to be the destruction of the Bennetts, aren’t you?” he said. “Your anger isn’t just about Ryan. It’s about all the Bennetts. And you’re determined to make us fall.”He stepped closer.“You’re here to bring back your father’s empire. I can see it in your face.”I said nothing.“You don’t love Marcus,” he went on. “You never did. You have always loved Ryan. I watched you, running after him, the way you would look at him as if the sun rose and fell from his ass.”His voice hardened.“And you can’t tell me that a love like that would just die in a single night just because you found out something fooli

  • DIVORCED MORNING AND REMARRIED TO HIS BROTHER BY NIGHT   You've Changed

    I frowned.“What do you mean?” I asked, feeling like I was about to lose it entirely.“I have been more than patient with you, Mr Bennett, and you have wasted enough of my time. I am not going to play riddles with you. If you are done… please leave.”Mr Bennett merely smiled, looking mighty comfortable as his gaze went all over the office.“This is exactly why Marcus shouldn’t have trusted you with his empire.”I narrowed my eyes at him, and his smile grew brighter before he straightened and got more serious.“To run such a huge company requires patience and wisdom. You can’t be prone to anger every few minutes when someone tells you the truth…”I interrupted him. “What do you want, Mr Bennett? Say what you need before I call security on you.”He stood up, and I could see the mean streak that Ryan always had on his face when he got angry. For a second, I was scared.He straightened and started walking around the office as if he owned it.“I am Marcus’s father. His blood flows in my ve

  • DIVORCED MORNING AND REMARRIED TO HIS BROTHER BY NIGHT   I Loved Him

    MONIQUEI wasn’t her anymore.“You have changed,” Mr Bennett finally said.A light, almost humourless smile slipped onto my lips. “That tends to happen after betrayal… from the people you trusted the most in the world.”His jaw tightened slightly but He didn’t deny it. Instead, he said, “Ryan died, you know.”“Yeah,” I said, my voice calm, my face giving nothing away. “I know. The police told us when they came to take our statements”“I expected you at the funeral,” he continued. “We all did. More people thought you would come. After all, you had been married to Ryan for ten years. That had to mean something.”I let out a quiet breath.“Yeah, well,” I said, “I’m sorry that he tried to kill the man I loved, the man I was taking care of, the man I was praying to God to bring back. The funeral of the man meant to kill him was the last thing on my mind.”I leaned forward slightly, my eyes locking onto his.“So I’m sorry if I hurt your feelings by not coming to his funeral… because he almo

    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

    MONIQUEI took Marcus’s hand under the table and pinched him, silently begging him not to say it. He looked down at me, smiled gently, and then spoke anyway.“I asked Monique to marry me,” he said with an adoring smile that threatened to weaken me. “And she said yes." He announced to the room."So

I know when the two of you are together, you put things in her head. But when she’s with me....her aunt, someone who’s actually family, someone who actually cares a

    MONIQUEMarcus’s gaze moved to the papers on the desk, then to Mr Smith, lingering there a second longer than polite. “Finishing up?”I didn’t miss the way Mr Smith leaned back in his chair, folding his hands together, reclaiming space. “The retainer agreement,” he said. “Monique and I have gone th

    MONIQUEI wasn’t sure whether Mr Smith's words were meant as reassurance or a warning.I nodded, but something unsettled me. The ease with which Mr Smith had shifted, from the man who’d been offended by my hesitation to this one, calm and prepared for resistance, felt deliberate. As if he had expec
