I blinked. Me?

“What does that even mean?” I asked, furrowing my brow. I wasn’t sure whether to be flattered or afraid.

He gave me a look that made my heart twist, something intense and curious in his gaze, like he was trying to figure me out just as much as I was trying to understand him.

“I’ve heard of you,” he said slowly.

I narrowed my eyes, signalling for him to keep going. “What do you mean you’ve heard of me?”

“I was curious to know what kind of woman you were,” he said, almost absentmindedly, like he was remembering something. “And when I met you…” He paused, pulling in his bottom lip between his teeth before letting it go. His eyes returned to mine.

“I have to admit....you’re even more than I expected.”

The way he said it, I could tell he meant every word. No hesitation. No flirtation for the sake of it. Just pure, unapologetic honesty.

“I wasn’t prepared for you,” he said softly. “But everything about you feels real. Strong. Hurt, yes, but beautiful.”

I swallowed, hard. The

  • DIVORCED MORNING AND REMARRIED TO HIS BROTHER BY NIGHT   Be Cautious

    The Bennetts Ryan sighed, his shoulders sinking as he moved toward the liquor cabinet."I just feel it," he said quietly. "I just feel there's something bigger here. I don't like it.... I don't like this..."He grabbed a bottle of whiskey, walked it back to his desk, and poured himself another generous measure. The amber liquid splashed into the glass like punctuation.Mrs. Bennett raised an eyebrow, her expression unreadable."Oh? You didn't like it?" she said slowly, each word deliberate, testing his mood. "Which part exactly? The part where she just disappeared without saying a word and then walked back in like she hadn’t missed a day?"She tilted her head, her tone sharpening. "Or the way she came back and owned that room?"A pause. And then,"Or is it the part where she told the entire table that she would be waiting for you in your bedroom?"Mrs. Bennett let out a loud, amused chuckle at her own words.Ryan clenched his jaw, his eyes narrowing."All of it has to stop," he said

  • DIVORCED MORNING AND REMARRIED TO HIS BROTHER BY NIGHT   The Act

    The BennettsMrs. Bennett looked at Arianna, really looked at her, sitting tall and proud on what she thought was her living room couch, shoulders tight with resolve, face brimming with righteous defiance. She sighed.She knew this girl. Knew her in a way only a mother could, even if she wasn't hers by blood. She’d seen her grow up, seen her chase dreams with the same ferocity she was now using to defend her place in this house. In this family. She had always been stubborn. That particular trait hadn’t come with age, it had been there from the very beginning.Just like when she had set her sights on Ryan. Oh, that day.Ariana had been just a little girl with big eyes and a bigger obsession. The way she used to watch Ryan whenever he came home with Lydia, like he was a star that had fallen straight into her lap. It was childish at first, harmless. Little remarks she’d make in front of everyone, soft teasing that didn’t land, jokes that made the air tense. Ryan never responded. He barel

  • DIVORCED MORNING AND REMARRIED TO HIS BROTHER BY NIGHT   Truly Loves Her

    The Bennetts“Don’t cry,” Mrs. Bennett said firmly, her voice laced with just enough softness to sting. “You have nothing to cry for.”Ariana wiped at her cheeks, ashamed of the tears, ashamed of how much she still wanted to believe.“You know Ryan is not careless. He doesn’t do things without reason. You know there’s more at play here than just Monique. It’s not just that he’s still married to her or that he’s… caring about her. This is a game. He’s playing something bigger.”Ariana looked down, her voice breaking. “But what else could he want? He already has everything. I mean… even the last time, Lydia told me Monique wanted a divorce. So why didn’t he just give her one?”Her voice cracked in the middle of her thought, and she pressed her lips together to stop the sob from surfacing again. “I’m starting to feel like… maybe Ryan is playing me too.”Mrs. Bennett jolted. “What? Never.”The conviction in her voice struck the room like thunder.“Ryan could never play a game on you. You

  • DIVORCED MORNING AND REMARRIED TO HIS BROTHER BY NIGHT   Can't Leave

    The BennettsMrs Bennett straightened her shoulders.“How did you turn out so different from Ryan? Ryan, you don’t even have to tell him anything. He’s always ready to do what’s needed. But you? I don’t know if it’s because we’ve coddled you too much, or because we’ve given you everything you’ve ever wanted, so now you think you can do whatever you want. But just so you know.... You can’t.”She let out a bitter laugh.“Why am I saying this?” she asked aloud, not expecting an answer. “Because I need you to remember your place. You have no power in this family. And I want you to always listen and follow the person who does have power in this family.”Her eyes darkened.“And that person right now happens to be Ryan. Your brother.”Lydia swallowed. Mrs. Bennett shook her head before continuing, her voice sharp and unforgiving. “You,” she pointed coldly, “are his sister. That’s all.”She took a step closer to Lydia, her words slicing the air.“He loves you. He protects you. He cares about

  • DIVORCED MORNING AND REMARRIED TO HIS BROTHER BY NIGHT   Your Not One

    The BennettsThe shift in the air was unmistakable. The tension that exploded in that moment could’ve been touched. Everybody seemed stunned in their seats, their eyes widening, nearly bulging, as the words sank in. But Monique didn’t care.She kissed Ryan’s forehead sweetly, softly, like she was stretching the moment, trying to make it linger longer than it should have. And then she turned to leave. She walked away, taking her aunt with her, while the whole table remained stunned, frozen in place, as if no one could believe what had just happened.Of course, Monique didn’t leave until she had smiled at the room, an elegant, smug smile before making her exit with her aunt in tow.The Bennett family, together with Arianna, sat in complete silence. No one spoke a word until the sound of Monique’s footsteps and her aunt’s had completely disappeared.Then Arianna was the first to act. She was angry, fuming.“Where is she going?” she asked, her voice sharp, her eyes locked on Ryan. “Please

    tThe BennettsMonique didn’t flinch. She just smiled wider, her fingers brushing her napkin lightly.But for everyone else, the tension spiked again, hot, brittle, suffocating. Lydia leaned slightly toward Ariana, her expression unreadable but alert. Mr. Bennett looked between his wife and Monique as if searching for a script he hadn’t been handed.Ryan looked like he was standing at the very edge of his sanity.This dinner, which had started with peace and celebration, was now crumbling in real time. He loved his daughter. He loved Rihanna more than anything else. And Rihanna, for all her five-year-old innocence, knew that her daddy loved her mother. She knew they were a family, the three of them. If Monique said one wrong thing, if she so much as claimed out loud that she was Ryan’s wife, it would collapse everything he had spent trying to protect.And the worst part? He knew he spoiled Rihanna. He’d built a world where her smile came before logic, before consequences. That world co
