The next morning, after we’d had breakfast, Marcus went into his office to work—and for once, I didn’t want to follow him.

Not because I didn’t want to. More like... I was afraid to. Afraid that I was developing feelings. Afraid because I already had.

I didn’t know if it was love yet, and I hoped it wasn't, but one thing was clear....I really, really, really liked him. And after what happened last night… we both knew what happened last night… I had let myself go. Completely. I had a question and I got my answer...

So today I gave myself some space. I needed time to breathe, to come to terms with everything.

I went for a walk first. Then, later, I decided to take a swim. The water helped clear my head at least for a little while. By the time I got back to the house, Marcus was still in his office.

I took a quick shower and got dressed. It was already lunch, and I found myself heading toward his office, hoping we could eat together.

I knew where all my hesitation came from.....Ryan.

  • DIVORCED MORNING AND REMARRIED TO HIS BROTHER BY NIGHT   Just Want Him To Stop

    MONIQUEI swallowed hard,"....I want him to stop. That’s all I want. I just want him to stop.”The officer studied me for a long moment, his pen frozen halfway across the page, like he wasn’t just writing down what I said, he was weighing them too. Finally, he leaned forward again, lowering his voice as if we were the only two people in the room.“Mrs. Bennett,” he said gently, “I need you to understand something. Wanting him to stop is natural, but abusers rarely stop on their own. It’s not about you saying the right thing or avoiding the wrong moment. It’s about control. He’s showing you that if you resist, he’ll push harder. That doesn’t stop because you want it to. It only stops if there’s intervention.”I blinked fast, a tear slipping down. He slid the handkerchief closer to me again, softer this time. “That’s why I asked if you plan to go home tonight. Because if you do, I need to know you’ll be safe. If you don’t, we can arrange a shelter, a safe house, or even a temporary re

    MONIQUEThe officer nodded as if he understood, or maybe he didn’t. I couldn’t tell.“And you told us that she is pregnant,” he said, his voice even. “Is there any indication, or suspicion, that the pregnancy could be your husband’s, Mrs. Bennett?”“Yes,” I answered quickly. My throat felt dry, but I pushed the words out anyway. “I mean… he says it’s not. But I a hundred percent believe that he is responsible for that pregnancy.”The officer scribbled something down. His eyes lifted again, steady on me. “Okay. And you told us that everything started with Ariana. Why don’t you tell me about it?”“Okay,” I said softly. Then I paused, letting silence sit between us as if I needed the moment to remember everything. Maybe I did.“I was not at home at the time. I was away. And when I came back… that’s when I found them. That’s when I met Ariana. I didn’t know her back then. I had no idea who she was, but the moment I saw them together, I got suspicious, highly suspicious about their relatio

    MONIQUEMr. Perez straightened, his polite smile faltering as he glanced between us. “Of course, Mrs. Bennett...” he caught himself, “...Monique.”Mrs. Bennett’s lips tightened. She didn’t like that he was giving me the floor, didn’t like that her grip on the situation was slipping. Ryan shifted uncomfortably, his jaw working as though he wanted to jump back in but didn’t dare.“Yes,” I said firmly. “I want to talk to you. Alone, if possible.”“You don’t need to trouble the officer,” Mrs. Bennett interjected quickly, her tone syrupy but trembling beneath. “We can handle this privately. This is a family matter....”I turned to her, my voice low but sharp enough to slice. “No. This isn’t just a family matter anymore.”Her eyes widened in outrage, but before she could speak, Perez lifted a hand. “If Mrs. Monique wishes to speak, I will listen. That is my job.”A current of relief swept through me. For once, someone wasn’t bending to the Bennetts.Ryan finally broke, stepping forward. “

    MONIQUEI shook my head at her. Nothing she said made sense, I didn't believe her or a word she said.She straightened, her voice sharper now.“Marks heal, Monique. But reputations? Reputations are fragile. If you do this, people will look at you differently forever. They’ll question you, your choices, and your marriage. They’ll whisper behind your back, and no one will be able to protect you from that.”I let out a bitter laugh. “You think I care about whispers? You think I care about the same people who won't hesitate to bite me in the back? Let them whisper. Let them see. I want them to know.”Mrs. Bennett looked at me like she was seeing me for the very first time.“Are you okay? Are you sure that you’re fine?”“Yes. I’m well, okay. And I’m totally fine, thank you for asking.”She narrowed her eyes, her tone sharpening. “Okay… I don’t know what’s gotten into you, Monique, but this has to stop. This has to stop now.”Her voice grew firmer as she continued. “We’re going to stand up

    MONIQUE“Okay,” he said. His voice dropped low, almost like a confession. “I tried to force myself not to do it, not to kiss you, but I just couldn’t.”He smiled, and I couldn’t help but giggle. My chest warmed, but then his tone shifted, grounding me again.“But it’s time for you to get out there and report this bastard.”“Okay, I will,” I responded.I didn’t know why, or where that reckless thought even came from, but in that moment.... I nearly told him I loved him. My lips had almost parted to say it. But did I?I shook my head quickly, pushing it back down. No. I couldn’t think about that right now. Not here. Not when everything was still so fragile.Instead, I leaned in and gave him a soft peck before I opened the door, slipped out, and started walking toward the police station. I could feel his eyes on me, watching from inside the car, and it made me feel a little naughty. But also… powerful. Like I wasn’t alone anymore. Like I had someone at my back, someone in my corner.Onc

    I took a deep breath."Marcus.... I really...."“Why don’t you want to promise me, Monique?” His voice softened, but the sharp edge of frustration lingered. “You don’t want to promise me because you know he’ll do it again. You can feel it deep in your gut. You know it’s going to happen again. That’s why you don’t want to promise me...to leave before it gets worse, before it happens again. Before it happens again… if it ever happens again.”I swallowed hard, my chest tight, and for a long moment, silence stretched between us. The promise he demanded was impossible, not because I didn’t trust him, because I didn't trust Ryan.Because Marcus was right, I had a feeling Ryan would do it again. It was the reason I was sitting outside the police station right now, because I didn’t trust Ryan to keep his hands to himself. The more I upset him, the bolder he became. I had to show him I was serious, and if he ever tried something like that again, there would be consequences.“All right, fine,”
