He stayed silent, watching me carefully, but I didn’t want to dive into the details of forged documents, hidden clauses, or the betrayal written in fine print. It was too much, too raw.

So I just shook my head and continued, “Then ten years later, I decided to surprise my husband. I went home unannounced, thinking I’d find him working, maybe sleeping... Doing something.....”

I gave a bitter chuckle and looked up.

“But instead, I found him with another woman. Living another life. In our house. A different version of himself. And all I could think about was how I didn’t know. Not once did I question him. Not once did I even imagine it.”

I took a deep gulp of my wine, letting the burn in my throat distract me from the one in my chest.

“It was the greatest shock of my life. Honestly, I still can’t believe I got out of there without having a heart attack.”

He finally spoke again, his voice calm but curious. “So… you really had no idea he was seeing another woman? Nothing?”

“No.” I drained

  • DIVORCED MORNING AND REMARRIED TO HIS BROTHER BY NIGHT   Lady Of The House

    I stood still in the middle of the room, trying to breathe.I was surrounded by things—things I didn’t choose, things I didn’t recognise, things that didn’t belong to me.But this house?This house was mine.I was the one who had walked through the bones of it when it was just blueprints and scaffolding. I picked the marble in the kitchen, the windows in the sunroom, and the warm wood that wrapped around the walls in the library. I was the one who pored over fabric swatches for the living room couches and fought with designers over natural lighting in the guest suites.This house wasn’t just built with money.It was built with me. But now… it felt like I’d been scrubbed out. Wiped clean like dust on a forgotten shelf.And for what?For someone else to come in and live inside the pieces of my dream?I walked into the bathroom, and even there, the transformation was suffocating. My favourite tub had been replaced. The skylight blinds were automated now, blocking out the stars I used to

  • DIVORCED MORNING AND REMARRIED TO HIS BROTHER BY NIGHT   Why This House

    MONIQUEAs we went upstairs with my Auntie, Maria followed closely behind. The bags had already been placed in the hallway. I guessed Maria hadn’t yet decided where to take them. I took the closest room to the master bedroom and instructed her to bring in my aunt’s bags.We hadn’t had a real conversation since coming up from the dining table, after everything that had happened there. I could feel my aunt’s side glances. She wanted to talk. I knew it. But I was going to pretend I couldn’t see them.Once she was settled, Maria excused herself.“I need to prepare the master bedroom,” she said.But I knew exactly what she meant. And I had no idea what she was planning to do. Because that room, that room belonged to Ariana now. She’d probably turned it into something of hers. But before Maria could wipe that life away, I needed to see it. I needed to step inside and witness the world Ryan had built with this woman. My life, lived with someone else.As I turned, I said casually, “I’ll join

  • 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

    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
