MONIQUE

Mrs Bennett straightened up, smoothing her skirt with slow, deliberate fingers.

“That’s why I came. That’s why I am here. I’m your ally. I’m going to talk to Ryan. I’m going to find a way to get you out of here, Monique. All I need from you is your trust.”

I nodded once, my voice a whisper. “Okay. I trust you.” And then, before I could stop myself, I added, “Mother,” the way I used to say it all those years ago, before I found out she was a snake.

“That’s good,” she murmured, smiling faintly. I felt like I had just handed her something, like she had finally gotten what she wanted. She even reached out and patted my head like I was a child again.

“I’ll be back soon,” she said, standing up. “I’m going to get you some clothes.”

I watched her walk to the door, my stomach twisting. She walked off as if she had won. I watched as the door shut behind her. I heard

The lock slid into place, and for a moment, I just sat there with the towel clinging to me awkwardly, feeling how weak I

  • DIVORCED MORNING AND REMARRIED TO HIS BROTHER BY NIGHT   Melt Away

    MONIQUEWhen I finally woke up, the sun was already going down. My muscles ached, my chest felt tight for a moment, then loosened. I felt… lighter. Not completely, but the crushing weight that used to sit on my ribs wasn’t strangling me anymore.Maybe the sleep helped.Or maybe being far away from Ryan finally gave my body permission to relax.My stomach rumbled. Right. I hadn’t eaten since breakfast with Ryan this morning, if that sickening performance even counted as breakfast.I got out of bed and went straight to my aunt’s room. I knocked, pushed the door open… but the room was empty. Frowning, I stepped back into the hallway. That’s when I heard it, the soft hum of machinery and soft voices coming from somewhere deeper inside the house. Curious, I followed the sound through the hallway until it led me into the kitchen.My aunt was standing there, talking to a woman as they worked side by side. My aunt chopped vegetables while the other woman, around her late fifties stirred somet

    MONIQUEHis breath trembled.“The only thing I think about when it comes to you,” I continued, “is the fact that you saved me. That you fought for me. That you worked so hard to find me, and you did. I’m free now. I’m safe now. I’m with you now.”My voice dropped to a whisper.“And I know this isn’t the right time, and I know you’re going to say I’m emotional, but I don’t care. I need you to hear it.....”My heart beat once....twice, painfully hard.“I love you,” I said, barely getting the words out.Marcus froze.I felt it.His breath stopped. His eyes widened. His arms tightened around me for a brief second and then loosened as if he wasn’t sure he should hold me at all.“No,” he murmured, shaking his head, his voice thick. “No, Monique… don’t say it because I saved you. Please don’t say it because you think you owe me anything. Just like I told you....you don’t have to repay me. You don’t have to stay here. If you want a new life, if you want to disappear, if you want anything....I

    MONIQUEWe sat together — Marcus, my aunt, and me—after the reunion, tears finally slowed. My throat was raw, my eyes burned, and my hands wouldn’t stop shaking. They were both watching me with the same terrified concern.“What happened?” my aunt asked softly. Marcus didn’t say anything, but the way he leaned forward told me he needed the answer just as much.So I told them.Not everything. Not the full horror. Not the pieces that still felt like glass stuck in my throat. But I gave them a picture....enough for them to understand what I had survived. Enough for them to see the monster Ryan and his family truly were.When I finished, my aunt’s face twisted with rage and heartbreak.“That man is a monster,” she said, her voice trembling. “A monster.” She reached for me, pulling me into her arms with a kind of desperation I hadn’t felt in years. “As soon as you came home crying, I should have taken you away from there. Maybe when you came to me… maybe you really just needed to leave. We

    MONIQUEHer arms wrapped around my aunt so tightly I almost couldn’t breathe. I didn’t care. I held her just as tightly, fingers digging into the fabric of her blouse, terrified that if I let go, even for a second, she might disappear.“Auntie…” My voice cracked.She pulled back just enough to cup my face in both her hands. Her eyes were glassy, swollen, red. “Monique… my girl… my baby… I thought I wouldn’t see you again.”Her voice wasn’t steady. It trembled. It broke. I swallowed hard, brushing a tear from her cheek. “I’m here. I’m right here.”She touched my arms, my shoulders, my cheeks, like she needed to feel all of me to believe I was real. “Where were you? What did they do to you? I woke up and.....”She stopped, her eyes unfocused for a moment, like she was searching her own memories and finding nothing but fog.“Auntie… what do you remember?” I asked softly.She blinked hard. Once. Twice. “I… I don’t know very well. I remember just fragments of what happened. We were leavi

    The BENNETTSAfter a while, Mr Smith started laughing.“Okay, fine. Please do it. Why don’t you call everybody you know? Pull all the resources you have. You’re rich, right? I mean it..... do it.” He leaned back in his chair, smirking. “You came into my office to threaten me over something that I have nothing to do with.”“You have everything to do with it,” Ryan snapped. “Your secretary is missing for some kind of reason. The office was deserted today. You planned this.”“I would love to see you prove that in front of a jury,” Mr Smith said coolly. “Because I don’t know who you think I am, and I don’t know who you think you are, but there are laws in this country—laws that should be followed.”Mr Smith glanced at his watch, unbothered. “I wonder why you’re so angry by the way. Monique has been gone for what?” He tapped his watch. “Probably thirty, forty minutes, and you’re already freaking out? Is there something I should know? Because she’s an adult. She can take time for herself.

    The BENNETTSMrs Bennett picked up on the first ring.“Did you find her?” she demanded, her voice sharper this time.“No,” Ryan said, pacing back and forth in the hallway. “I checked everywhere. She’s not in the building. Not in the restroom. Not outside. I even checked the garage, and she’s not there either.”There was silence on the other end for a moment before his mother spoke again, quieter but colder. “Then she’s with someone. She didn’t just vanish, Ryan. Someone helped her.”“I think it’s Smith,” Ryan said immediately. “He’s too calm. Too relaxed for all this. And his secretary’s gone too.”“Then find out where she went,” Mrs Bennett replied. “If Monique is still in that building, you find her. If she’s out, you trace her. And Ryan.....don’t lose your temper. Not this time. We need control.”Ryan clenched his jaw, exhaling through his teeth. “I’m trying, Mother.”“Try harder,” she said. “Because everything we’ve built, everything we’ve done....will fall apart. You hear me?”Ry
