MONIQUE

As Marcus spoke, every word seemed to make its way deeper into my being. His voice was steady and calm, yet each syllable carried purpose. He wanted me in this world. His world, a world not just built on business, but on control, power, and freedom. It wasn’t just about making decisions or calling the shots; it was about owning every choice, shaping every outcome. And, I understood that he wasn’t just offering me a lesson in business. He was offering me a chance to do over my life.

  • DIVORCED MORNING AND REMARRIED TO HIS BROTHER BY NIGHT   Waiting

    MONIQUE“I’m sorry, you have to wait here.....” they say.“No!” I try to push past, panic rising again. “I need to be with him.....he needs me.....”“Monique.” I hear Nadia’s voice is Firm.She steps in front of me, holding my shoulders.“Let them do their job,” she says, even though her eyes are filled with tears. “If you interfere, you slow them down.”I freeze. My body shaking.My heart is screaming at me to run after him, but my mind knows she’s right. Slowly… painfully… I stop fighting.The doors swing shut behind them And I’m left standing there feeling Empty and Helpless. Covered in his blood.The hallway suddenly feels too quiet. Too still. Like the world just… paused.I stare at those doors. Waiting, Hoping and Praying they open again. Minutes pass Or maybe hours. I don’t know. Time doesn’t exist for me anymore. I feel Violet guide me to a chair and sit, but I don’t feel it.Nadia is pacing. Back and forth. Back and forth. Her hands are trembling, and her lips are moving sile

    MONIQUEMy hand hesitates, just enough time. Enough for them to push forward and take control.It’s then that I realise that they are medics. I didn’t even know who they were or what they wanted to do. I watch as they force him gently down onto the ground, their movements quick but controlled, practised. They wrap something tightly around him, pressing hard, talking in urgent voices I can barely follow.“Pressure, keep pressure there.....”“We’re losing too much....”“Get the stretcher, now.”The words blur together. I don’t understand half of what they’re saying. All I know is that it sounds bad. Really bad.I have no choice or option but to sit there beside them, my hands useless now, my body shaking, covered in his blood, watching them work.Watching.Waiting.Praying.'Please… please let him be okay.'They lift him onto a stretcher and Everything moves so fast. Too fast. And then they start taking him away.“No, wait...”I push myself up immediately and follow, like a zombie, like

    MONIQUERyan’s eyes blaze.“She doesn’t need protection from me!” he shrieks.And then....Everything happens. Too fast. Too loud. Too sudden.The sound of another gunshot.A scream tears from me, and my eyes slam shut. I don’t know what happens. I don’t feel anything. I don’t see anything. Just ringing. Loud, Endless ringing. And then....I feel it.Marcus’s body jerks as his grip on me tightens.... Then loosens.“Marcus!” My voice breaks as I reach for him.For a second, everything seems to freeze, like time itself is holding its breath. Marcus’s body is still in front of me, still shielding me, still standing, but something is wrong, terribly wrong. I can feel it. I just know it.“Marcus,” I say again, softer this time, my hands gripping his jacket, trying to steady him, but he doesn’t answer me.His body sways. It’s just lightly, but I feel it, the way his fingers loosen around me, the way his weight shifts, the way everything between us changes."No." I swallow. "No, no, no, no, no,

  • DIVORCED MORNING AND REMARRIED TO HIS BROTHER BY NIGHT   For Monique

    MONIQUEAfter Ryan's declaration, everything inside me goes cold.There’s fear, there’s panic, but there’s also something deeper, something heavier....because I know Ryan, and I know that tone.I have heard it before. I mean, of course I have, but not with a gun in his hand before, but in his arguments. In quiet moments, in the way he used to look at me when he was about to strike, he always had that look in his eyes. It was final and unyielding.Marcus must sense it too, because his grip on me tightens. I can feel the tension in his body. Every muscle is locked tight.“Ryan,” he tries again, lowering his tone. “Think about what you’re doing. This can all be over. You can go back to your daughter and your parents.”But Ryan isn’t looking at him. He isn’t even listening.He’s looking at me. Only me.“Come here,” he says.Immediately my breath catches, and I shake my head.“Monique, come here.” he tries again.“No,” Marcus says immediately, his voice sharp.Ryan’s hand jerks slightly, t

  • DIVORCED MORNING AND REMARRIED TO HIS BROTHER BY NIGHT   The Breaking Point

    MONIQUEI’m not going to go into detail about everything I’m thinking right now. Because I don’t even think I can.What I can say is this.... I knew. From the moment Marcus told me that he had invited the Bennetts to the wedding, I knew things weren’t going to be simple. I knew they weren’t going to go the way he imagined they would.I knew the Bennetts better than he did. And I knew Ryan. Ryan doesn’t like failing.He doesn’t accept defeat.He never has.Not when we met, not when we were in university, not even in the smallest arguments we ever had. He always had to win. Always had to come out on top. Always had to make sure no one stood above him. That’s who he is.And after the divorce, after I walked away with everything, I knew he wouldn’t take it well. I knew he wouldn’t let it go. I knew he would be restless. Dangerous.So when Marcus told me they were coming, something inside me already braced for impact. And then he dropped the truth on me.That truth.That bomb.From that mo

  • DIVORCED MORNING AND REMARRIED TO HIS BROTHER BY NIGHT   Too Perfect

    MARCUSThe silence that followed was Heavy and Unbearable.“I know you,” Ryan continues saying quietly. “And I know you don’t want this. You don't want to marry him, Monique.”I’m confident in my love for Monique. I believe that she loves me. I do. But the way he says it, the way he looks at her, like he believes every word he is spewing......It's then that I feel it. When I feel her hand trembling in mine. My grip tightens instinctively around hers. One word from her… And everything, including my heart, falls apart.“Security,” I call sharply. “Get him out of here.”Ryan steps forward instead.“You invited me,” he says. “Why invite me if you didn’t want me to come and take my wife?”“She’s not your wife.”He’s close now. Too close. I don't like it one little bit.“She is,” he insists. “She hasn’t said yes to you yet. This wedding is not final.”I exhale slowly.... Then I drop it.“Well,” I say, almost casually, “I’m sorry to disappoint you, but Monique and I are already married.”Th

  • DIVORCED MORNING AND REMARRIED TO HIS BROTHER BY NIGHT   Is It That Serious

    Marcus went quiet."Be careful with him, Monique.""Of course. Always" Marcus’s voice hardened slightly. “Okay, but remember our plan. You have to make sure the police remember this moment and that they remember you, so that when anything happens in the future, there’s a public record.”“I know. I

    “Now listen,” Ryan said, leaning back in his chair as if he owned the air I was breathing. “When we get to the police station, you’re going to follow my lead. No surprises, no sudden outbursts, no adding details that don’t matter.”I kept my eyes on him, refusing to give him the satisfaction of a r

    MONIQUEThis time, I sat up straighter, folding my arms lightly. “Ms. Ariana was staying in the house as a guest. She overstepped her boundaries, assumed things that weren’t hers to assume. I confronted her. We exchanged words. That’s all it was.”The officer raised a brow. “And the police call?”I

    I looked at her. Really looked at her. Her eyes were filled with curiosity, a quiet concern. She wanted to understand, to help me. But I had my reasons; no matter how broken I was, I couldn’t bring myself to share everything. Not yet. Not about the properties, the revenge burning inside me, or the
