MONIQUE

With determination, and a plan, an actual process.... I immediately ran up the stairs. The moment I was inside the bedroom, I shut the door behind me and reached for my phone.

I didn’t even think.

I just called him.

He picked up on the first ring.

“Hey,” he said.

The way he said it, soft, calm, expectant, like he had been waiting. Like he already knew I would call....

But I didn’t want to linger. I didn’t want to waste time soaking in the emotion. So I said the first thing that came to me. The only thing that mattered.

“I miss you.”

There was a pause. I could hear it, the smile in his silence.

“What happened? Are you okay?” Marcus asked quickly.

His voice was low, but laced with concern. I couldn’t help myself, I chuckled. A small laugh. A breath I hadn’t realized I was holding.

“Of course I’m okay,” I said. “What do you think would have happened?”

“I don’t know…” he said. “I don’t know what’s going on in Ryan’s head. I wouldn’t know what he did or said. But… is everything oka

  • DIVORCED MORNING AND REMARRIED TO HIS BROTHER BY NIGHT   With Those Hands

    I stared at Ryan with anger.How could he think of ever touching me with those hands after what he had done?“If you don’t get out right now, I’ll scream.....and I don’t think you want to see the cops back here tonight so soon.”Ryan stared at me for a long moment, as if trying to figure out who I’d become. But I didn’t flinch. I didn’t look away. Eventually, he threw off the covers, grabbed the shirt on the floor, and walked out without another word.I waited until I heard the door shut behind him before I turned off the light and sank back into the mattress. My heart was still pounding hard.As I lay there, I thought about calling Marcus. My fingers even twitched toward my phone, but just as I was about to reach for it, I stopped myself. I can’t depend on him for everything. It would be just like the last time, when I depended on Ryan for everything. And look how that turned out.The thought left a bitter taste in my mouth. I couldn’t go back to sleep after that. My mind wouldn’t st

  • DIVORCED MORNING AND REMARRIED TO HIS BROTHER BY NIGHT   This Marriage

    He said nothing.I glared at him. “Get out, Ryan. Just....Get out .”“This is my house too,” he bit out.“This is my bedroom,” I shot back. “This is my bedroom too,” Ryan said, his voice low but edged with defiance. “I’m your husband. This is our house, and this is our bedroom, just like you told the police officers. So I have every right to be in this bedroom, just like you do.” His eyes narrowed at me, daring me to challenge him.I went quiet, just staring at him.“So…” I said slowly, “you want me to leave this bedroom for you and your mistress?”He sighed, as if suddenly exhausted. “That’s not what I’m saying. That’s not what I’m saying at all. All I’m saying is that you’re my wife, and I am your husband, and I have every right to be in this room just like you do. And right now, I just want to talk, okay? Like civilized people. Can we talk?”I shook my head. “I’m not in the mood to talk right now, Ryan. I gave you time. I gave you a chance to think about what you want. And I reall

    I knew exactly how he felt,"I know, I’m sorry," I said softly. "But I had to keep my head in the game."There was a pause on the line. Then I added, “But now... now that I’m in, I think that’s when the real work begins.”“Just remember that you’re not alone, precious,” Marcus reminded me. His voice was low, steady, grounding. “And I’ll remind you that every damn day until you believe it.”I smiled. A real one.God! How I wish he were here. I wish I could touch him. I wished I could lie in his arms and just let it all go, just for a little while.“Thank you, Marcus,” I whispered. “Thank you so much.”“You don’t have to thank me, Monique,” he said. “I’m not doing this so you can thank me. I’m doing this out of love. And I don’t need anything in return.”His voice deepened. “All I want is for you to get everything they ever took from you. For you to be happy. For you to get your revenge. And for them to be miserable. Penniless. Out on the streets. With nothing.”There was venom in his v

  • DIVORCED MORNING AND REMARRIED TO HIS BROTHER BY NIGHT   Goodbye

    MONIQUERyan didn’t move. His lips parted, but no words came."I do not care if she’s pregnant. I do not care if you have a daughter....."Before I could say anything else, he cut in."Don’t talk about her," he said.His voice was low but laced with warning.I blinked. I didn’t know who he meant....Ariana? The baby? His daughter? Maybe all three. But I was on a roll now. The fire was already lit inside me."Why?" I asked. "Because you love her?"He didn’t answer. He went numb. And I don’t know why... but I was suddenly emotional.Even though I had already moved away from him... I was over him, but for whatever reason, asking him this, waiting for him to tell me the truth. To tell me that he is in love with her.That he has never been in love with me.It just... hurts.Even though I’m over him. He’s standing here right in front of me.... I can’t just throw away ten years. Even though I know now, they were fake. They were all nothing but fake.I swallowed whatever was in my chest and l

  • DIVORCED MORNING AND REMARRIED TO HIS BROTHER BY NIGHT   Here Again

    MONIQUEInside, I was bracing myself.Because the moment my aunt walked away... The moment we were alone again… I knew I’d face the real version of Ryan. The version I’d left behind two weeks ago.I had no idea what this Ryan standing in front of me was going to do or how he was going to act. But what I did know was that he wasn't the Ryan I had married ten years ago.That man... That man I had known.That man would have apologized by now. He would have said something soft, made it sound sweet. He’d have come with roses, maybe planned something grand to fix what he broke. He would’ve wrapped the damage in ribbons and perfume and begged me not to leave.But this man?The one standing across from me now?This man had shown me his true colors. And I had no idea what he was going to do.But no, I wasn’t scared. Not now. Not anymore.Because it was different now.... I had people in my corner. Because I knew him now. Really knew him.Because I understood that behind all that charm and weal
