The Bennets

Mrs. Bennett was still staring at Monique, her hands itching to do something she knew she shouldn’t. She wanted to reach over, grab, and strangle Monique until the girl lost all her strength. She was furious, a storm barely contained.

“Come on, let’s go,” Mr. Bennett said sharply, trying to herd Mrs Bennett into the car. He knew she couldn’t act on her impulses, no matter how much she wanted to.

Mrs Bennett got into the car quietly, and the moment Mr. Bennett followed, she exploded.

“I don’t get what happened to that girl! Like....did she get an attitude transplant? Where’s the Monique who used to listen to me, who actually wanted Ryan with her? She’s gone rogue, completely! And now I have to figure out how to pull her back!”

Mr. Bennett nodded along, his expression tight with unease. “I don’t get it either. How could she refuse to let us take her where she wanted to go?"

"That audacity… Did you see how arrogant she’s become? She doesn’t even listen to me anymore. I’ve lo

    MONIQUE“Why are you talking like that? Please don’t do anything,” I said, my voice shaking slightly.He didn’t answer me. He only said, “So, where are you now? Are you heading home?”“No. That’s the last place I want to be,” I admitted. “I was wondering… if I can see you.”I expected him to immediately jump at the chance to be with me, but he stayed silent.“Marcus,” I pressed again when he didn’t answer.“I’m sorry to do this, precious, but I don’t think I should be around you right now.”“Why? What do you mean? Why are you talking like that?” I asked, my chest tightening.“When I see that handprint on your face, I just…” He trailed off, not adding anything more."So I was all on my own."“No, you’re not all on your own,” he said finally. “I’m still here. If you really need me, I will be there. But I just want you to know, I won't be great company. I’m still so, so mad that Ryan touched you.”“It's over. I reported him. And I… whenever I want to strangle him, I think of a few weeks

  • DIVORCED MORNING AND REMARRIED TO HIS BROTHER BY NIGHT   To Be Alone

    MONIQUEI walked beside Officer Perez, my steps measured, deliberate. My head was held high, though inside, everything was in shambles. Ryan had walked out with his lawyer, and they had left. That meant the police weren’t keeping him at the station overnight as Officer Perez had told me earlier. This meant something had changed.I could still feel Mrs. Bennett’s stare drilling into my back, sharp and accusing, but I didn’t care. Let her think whatever she wanted. My hands were clenched at my sides, fingers tight like fists, fighting to keep myself from fidgeting.I knew that now, things had shifted. Ryan must have said something. I didn’t know what it was, but maybe it had made the police officer question my statement. Or perhaps he and his mother had thrown enough doubts in my direction to rattle my account. Or maybe it was his counsel who had managed to get him out of the police station without further questioning.We approached the interview room we had used earlier. The familiar d

    The BennettsRyan swallowed slowly, forcing himself to control his composure.“Of course I’m cooperating,” he said, his voice steady though his jaw was tight. “But I will not be tricked into saying something false. The truth is, I did not hit my wife, and I won’t admit to something that didn’t happen. End of story.”Just then, a knock sounded at the door. The room stilled, every pair of eyes shifting toward it before the handle turned and the door swung open.Ryan’s lawyer stepped inside with purposeful strides, his briefcase in hand, his tone sharp the moment he spoke.“Officers,” he said curtly, his voice laced with irritation. “I was thoroughly disappointed to get a call from the Bennetts that you pulled them in here and decided to question them without their counsel present. Why did you force them back here without me?”The air in the room thickened. Officer Perez responded calmly, his expression unreadable.“We didn’t,” he said evenly. “They volunteered to give us some informatio

    The BennetsOfficer Perez’s expression stayed flat, unyielding.“Well, no,” Ryan pressed on quickly, “I didn’t tell her because I’m not an idiot. Would you have told your wife? Would you tell your wife if you were to cheat on her now? Would you tell her you got your mistress pregnant...”Perez’s eyes narrowed. “I wouldn’t cheat on my wife.”The words hit the room like a slap. Ryan gave a strained laugh, a dry chuckle that didn’t reach his eyes. The officer’s face softened for only a heartbeat, then hardened again.“Anyway,” Ryan continued, forcing calm into his voice, “what I’m saying is, I didn’t tell her. She found out. That’s what we’ve been fighting about. And now she’s doing all of this to hurt me. She’s twisting it, making it into something it’s not. Ariana....she’s just a girl who was my sister’s friend. That’s all.”"That's not all, Mr Bennett, now, is it?" The officer asked, tone steel.Ryan spread his hands, pleading now, his voice quieter but no less insistent. “Going back

    The BennetsRyan’s head snapped up, his voice rising in defiance. “So, you’re saying that I hit her?.” His tone was sharp, almost mocking, challenging the officer.Perez didn’t flinch. “No,” he said evenly. “We would like to know what happened to your wife. If you’re not the one who hit her, then we would like to know who did?”Ryan blinked, his composure cracking for the first time. “I don’t know, okay? I don’t know. Why don’t you ask her?""You left here with your wife, Mr Benet.”Officer Perez’s expression didn’t change. “We would like to know what you think about it.”Ryan shifted in his seat, his voice pitching higher. “I don’t know! We were going home. We had a little argument. As always, she went overdramatic, told the driver to stop the car. The driver stopped. She got out of the car....And then she started running around on the road, doing a whole scheme” Ryan went on, his voice rising in frustration. “I tried to help her. She was being manic at the time. So anyway, I get sc
