I had already made up my mind.

But I wasn’t about to make it easy for her or any of them. They needed to think they were still in control. That I was still the fragile, heartbroken girl who didn’t know how to pick up her pieces without help.

So I let my voice tremble a little. I let the pain drip out just enough.

“I don’t know,” I said quietly. “I’m still… so hurt. Ryan really crushed me. I don’t know if I can ever trust him again.”

And that was the truth, just not the whole truth.

Mrs. Bennett, of course, took the bait. She must’ve seen that I was softening and believed that her words were finally sinking in. She reached out and took my hand in hers, and this time… I let her.

“It’s not him,” she whispered, shaking her head. “This is all that woman’s fault. But Ryan… Ryan will make it right. They both will. Don’t worry. You can trust me, Monique.”

I kept shaking my head, unsure if I was playing the role too well or just falling into it by default.

“But how?” I asked, voice cracking, e

  • DIVORCED MORNING AND REMARRIED TO HIS BROTHER BY NIGHT   Pick up

    MONIQUEDinner that night was quiet.Nadia didn’t join us. It was just Marcus and me. We ate together but I had no appetite. Marcus kept trying to get me to eat. He even fed me at one point, which somehow made me laugh despite everything. I knew he was trying, telling stories, joking, doing everything he could to cheer me up, to loosen me up..... But all I could think about was my aunt.Before I went to bed, I called her. She didn’t pick up.I didn’t have Violet’s number. I didn’t have her husband’s number either. I had no one else to call, no one else to check with. So I sent her a message instead, asking her to at least tell me if she had landed safely, if she was back home.Marcus went into his office. He said he had to look over a few things, and I didn’t want to disturb him.I waited thirty minutes for my aunt to respond. When she didn’t, I called again.Still nothing.That’s when I decided to go upstairs. I thought about going to Marcus’s bedroom, but then I changed my mind. I

  • DIVORCED MORNING AND REMARRIED TO HIS BROTHER BY NIGHT   Choosing

    MONIQUE“So you’re choosing him over me?” Aunt Jane asked sharply. “You’re choosing Marcus over your own family?”“No, Auntie, that’s not what I’m doing,” I said quickly. “I’m not choosing him over you. I just…” My voice faltered. “I wish you could see things the same way I do.”“All I see,” she said, “is you pushing me away the same way you did when you were with Ryan.”“Please stop mentioning Ryan!” I snapped before I could stop myself. “I know right now he’s a big issue for me because I want to get far away from him and get my inheritance back if I can. I won’t fight for him if he’s going to use it to keep me married to him.... But let’s not pretend that you wanting to leave has anything to do with Ryan, because it doesn’t.”“It has everything to do with Ryan,” she shot back. “If it wasn’t for him doing this to you, we wouldn’t be here right now. You would be in your home with your family. Happy.”“I’m sorry,” I said, my voice breaking. “I’m sorry about what happened to you. I didn

  • DIVORCED MORNING AND REMARRIED TO HIS BROTHER BY NIGHT   Please Don't

    MONIQUEViolet was my aunt Jane's daughter. My only cousin.“Yes… Maybe she doesn’t. At least I’m a phone call away., At least I’m just three hours away from her.... Here, I’m in another part of the world.” Aunt Jane responded.“I left my husband to come here and take care of you,” she continued, her voice shaking now. “I left my marriage, only for you to continue making the same mistakes.""I promise you Marcus isn't a mistake, he's not Ryan...."But she interrupted me," Because if you keep making mistakes while I’m here watching you, then what good am I? What good am I to you? To your life? And why am I even here?”She shook her head slowly.“It’s just better if I leave.”I felt like the room was shrinking around me. My chest hurt, and my throat burned.“I....” I said, my voice cracking. “Please don’t do this to me. Please don’t make me choose.”She turned away from me, shaking her head. “I’m not asking for much, Monique. I’m just asking you to stop destroying yourself.”“I’m not de

    MONIQUEMy heart dropped so hard it felt like it hit the floor.She had already packed.“I can’t do this anymore,” Aunt Jane said softly, folding clothes with trembling hands.Panic surged through me so fast I felt dizzy.I only had two people in this world. I had my aunt And I had Marcus. I didn’t have anyone else.And now my aunt was packing her bags. She was leaving. And I was losing it.I stepped forward instinctively, my hands shaking as I reached for the suitcase before she could pull it off the bed.“No,” I said, the word tearing out of my chest before I could stop it. “No, you can’t just leave.”She froze, her back still to me, her shoulders stiff like she was bracing herself for a blowout. For a second, neither of us spoke. The room felt too small, the air too tight.“Aunt Jane, please,” I whispered. “Don’t do this.”She let out a long, tired breath, the kind that carried years in it. Slowly, she turned around, and when I saw her face properly, my heart cracked. Her eyes were

  • DIVORCED MORNING AND REMARRIED TO HIS BROTHER BY NIGHT   Another Predator

    MONIQUEThe car veered into the parking lot of the building, and we went inside. As soon as we stepped through the doors, the smell of polished wood and faint disinfectant hit me immediately. The place was nearly empty, just as I’d hoped. One bored-looking attendant glanced up, surprised to see customers at this hour.Marcus glanced down at me, his features softening.“You look like a child who just got handed candy.”“I feel like one,” I admitted. Because when I saw this building, the only thing I saw was my dad and me. My dad teaching me bowling. I had so many memories of him teaching me a lot of things, but it felt like a hundred years had passed since I’d last been here, since I’d last bowled.We rented shoes. Mine were a size too big, his were slightly too snug, and it made us laugh, really laugh, joking with each other in a way that felt easy. It was a relief after the kind of day I’d had.Dale positioned himself nearby, unseen but watchful, and for some reason, it made me feel

  • DIVORCED MORNING AND REMARRIED TO HIS BROTHER BY NIGHT   Distract Me

    MONIQUE“What did he do?” Marcus's entire body changed, becoming cold and defensive.I shook my head. “He didn’t touch me. He didn’t do anything.” My thoughts raced as I tried to calm him down. “I swear. We were in public. He wouldn’t try anything.”He searched my face, like he needed to be sure.“Then what did he do?” he asked.“He threatened me. Just like he always does. Ryan is careful, and when he threatens you, it’s a promise.”His jaw tightened. “Monique...""It’s okay. I’m not scared of him anymore.”“You shouldn’t be,” he said. “So what did he want?”“He wanted me to go back with him. Back to our house. Back to what he thinks is our home, but it’s not.”I swallowed. “I told him I want a divorce.”Marcus stared at me, stunned.“I told him I don’t belong to him anymore. That I don’t want anything to do with him.”His arm stiffened on me.“You told him that?” he asked quietly.I nodded. “I know the plan was to surprise him with the papers, but I couldn’t take it.
