I looked at him, a strange tightness growing in my chest. “Is he dead too?” I asked quietly. “Did he die before the two of you could make up?”

Marcus blinked. His eyes widened slightly in surprise. And then....he laughed. Not a laugh of joy, but one filled with disbelief, maybe even a little bitterness.

“After what he did?” he said, still shaking his head. “He deserted me and my mother. When I was old enough to really see what was going on, I saw the way he treated her, like she was nothing. And then he just left.”

His expression hardened.

“And even when my mom died… even when her family started arguing about who’d take me in, and someone, someone actually reached out to him to tell him she was dead. Gone and he didn’t even come to the funeral. He didn’t even acknowledge that he had a son.”

He looked at me then, eyes sharp. “And you really think we could ever make up?”

I didn’t know what to say. So I asked the only thing I could: “Is he still alive?”

“Very much alive,” Marcus said, hi

  • 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

  • DIVORCED MORNING AND REMARRIED TO HIS BROTHER BY NIGHT   Friends

    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

  • DIVORCED MORNING AND REMARRIED TO HIS BROTHER BY NIGHT   Who Are You

    The BennettsAriana couldn't hide her surprise, her expression tightened. She blinked rapidly, her hand still hovering in the air where Ryan had brushed her off. The tension rippled through her chest, through her stomach, and settled in the space between her and the man she thought she understood.Across the table, Jane glanced up, her expression mild but curious.“What’s going on?” she asked lightly, her eyes flicking from Ariana to Ryan. “Is there something more happening here?”Ryan, who had just taken his seat beside her, gave a practised smile. “No, Aunt. There’s nothing going on. Just a little family drama.”Jane returned his smile, but it didn’t quite reach her eyes. Ever since she’d stepped into this house, she’d sensed an undercurrent. The tension wasn’t just awkward or momentary; it was thick and quiet, like something was sitting beneath the surface waiting to explode. She had expected some coldness, after all, Ryan’s wife had disappeared without a word. But this? This was s

  • DIVORCED MORNING AND REMARRIED TO HIS BROTHER BY NIGHT   Who Is This Woman

    The Bennett's Ariana looks at Ryan, and she can’t believe these words are coming from his mouth.She holds his gaze, searching his eyes, trying to find a trace of the man who had once whispered promises to her in the same room. But all she sees is resolve. Determination. And a flicker of anger just beneath the surface. A warning. She knows what will happen if she doesn’t do what Ryan says. And she doesn’t want to test him now. Not with Monique standing right there. Not with all those eyes watching her.She glances toward Monique, who is still standing in the room, a bright smile on her face. The picture of calm. The picture of ignorance or maybe, calculated control. She looks like she doesn’t understand what’s happening. Like she doesn’t know who she is. But Ariana knows Monique knows exactly who she is.I mean, who is this woman? Ariana thinks. Ryan had promised her....this was their house. Their home. The place where they would raise their children. The place she would never have t

  • DIVORCED MORNING AND REMARRIED TO HIS BROTHER BY NIGHT   My Lovely Dear Husband

    The Bennett HouseholdThe minute Ryan sees Monique standing there and loses his composure.After the initial shock, where everyone was stunned into absolute silence, he lunges to his feet, the sound of his chair scraping harshly against the floor before it crashes backwards, landing with a sharp bang. He doesn’t even flinch. He’s already moving.Storming across the room.BStraight toward her. His face twists into something unrecognisable......rage, panic, betrayal. All mashed together. He grabs her arm roughly, pulling her close, his grip tight enough to hurt.“Where did you go?” he growls. His voice is thick with venom, almost shaking from how hard he’s holding back, if he’s holding back at all. Monique tries to speak, her voice calm but trembling just beneath the surface. “You told me I should go away… to relax, to have some time to myself, and that’s what I.....”But she doesn’t get to finish. Ryan snaps. Both his hands clamp around her upper arms and he starts shaking her, hard,

  • DIVORCED MORNING AND REMARRIED TO HIS BROTHER BY NIGHT   I Don't Want To Go

    That evening, we leave the island.I even make a joke as we walk towards the jeep. “This is a love island,” I tell Marcus.He looks around at everything, the trees, the shore, the soft sunset that has wrapped itself around us and then he looks back at me. He leans in and kisses my forehead.“I will never see this island the same again after this. After you.”I don't know how to feel about that. Am I supposed to feel good? Excited? Or sad because we don’t know what happens next? We don’t know what our future holds. But I muster a smile.He kisses my forehead again and says softly, “Don’t think too much into it. I think I’m going to name this island after you.”“What?” I say, caught completely off guard. Because—yes, what? I’m surprised. I’m taken aback. I look at him, thinking it’s a joke. But it’s not.He’s actually serious.“You can’t be serious,” I say, laughing through the disbelief. “I’m sure this island already has a name.”“It’s mine,” he says. “And I’m going to name it after yo
