MONIQUE

Marcus took my chin between his fingers and tilted my face up so I had no choice but to meet his eyes.

“No,” he said. “It’s not bad news. But it is serious.”

My heart thudded.

“Okay,” I whispered again.

He exhaled slowly, like he was bracing himself. Then he dropped his hand from my chin and pushed both his hands into his pockets, as if he needed to physically stop himself from touching me.

“Last night,” he began, voice lower, deeper, “meant something to me. And I need to know if it meant something to you too. Not because you were overwhelmed. Not because you were tired. And not because you were riding an orgasm high.”

I blushed so hard I almost combusted.

He continued, “I need to know if you still meant the things you said. If you still want the things you said you wanted.”

My pulse stumbled. “Like… the proposal or...,.”

“Everything,” he cut in quietly. “The proposal. Us. The yes you gave me. All of it.”

I felt the seriousness of his words settle over me like a blanket and a

  • DIVORCED MORNING AND REMARRIED TO HIS BROTHER BY NIGHT   Yes

    MONIQUEI didn't even have to think about it,“Yes. Yes. And yes again. How many times do I have to tell you for you to understand?”“Well, it just surprises me that you didn’t talk to me about any of this. When I met you this morning, you told me you were just going in search of Marcus so you could know where to start. Suddenly, I see your father’s lawyer coming to the house, and then I hear that you’re getting a divorce. What is this really about? What is going on? I’m only trying to save you. I don’t want you to run into the arms of another Ryan. I want you to take your time. It doesn’t matter if you don’t divorce him today and you divorce him tomorrow, but I want you to do it with a clear head....not to go from one relationship to another.”It’s my turn to take a deep breath.“I know what you’re saying, Auntie. I’m listening. I hear you, and I’m doing exactly what you’re saying, I will take my time with everything... Except when it comes to the divorce. I can do all of that when I

  • DIVORCED MORNING AND REMARRIED TO HIS BROTHER BY NIGHT   Aren't You

    MONIQUEI quickly walk back toward Marcus.“No, no, no, no, no, no. What are you saying? I want the divorce. I do NOT want to be married to Ryan. Please don’t think I’m doing this because it was your idea. I do not want to be married to that horrible disgusting man. Who would want to be married to him? Of course, I want to get divorced.”“Are you sure?” he asks softly. “Because your aunt kind of used some crazy big words.”“I guess she’s scared. And she cares about me.” I tell him the truth.“Okay,” he says finally. Although he doesn't look convinced.“I’m going to go upstairs and talk to her while you talk to your lawyer friend,” I say, hoping to ease his doubts.“Okay,” he murmurs, leaning forward to kiss me, soft, reassuring, grounding. A kiss I didn’t realise I needed.I walk out of Marcus’s office with a bright smile on my face, but the moment I start climbing the stairs to find my aunt, the smile fades, and the anger starts rising inside me.Because what the hell was Aunt Jane t

  • DIVORCED MORNING AND REMARRIED TO HIS BROTHER BY NIGHT   A Lot To Say

    MONIQUEFor a moment, I just stand there, staring at the closed office door, as if it might swing back open and Mr Smith will walk in again and finish what we started. My mind is running—no, sprinting—trying to catch up with everything that just happened.I run a hand through my hair. I’m not sure what stings more: the disappointment I saw in his eyes, or the fact that he thinks I trust Marcus more than I trust him.And maybe… maybe he’s right.I let out a long breath. Everything feels tangled, twisted, upside down. I only wanted to read the damn paper before I signed anything. I only wanted to understand. After everything Ryan did to me, how am I supposed to just sign anything without looking? How is that unreasonable?But now it feels like I disappointed Mr Smith just by being careful. Great! Another person I’ve let down today.I take a step forward, ready to go after him, maybe to fix it, maybe to explain, but before I even reach the door, there’s a soft knock. My heart jumps. I qu

  • DIVORCED MORNING AND REMARRIED TO HIS BROTHER BY NIGHT   Sign It

    MONIQUEI nod slowly. “Okay.”Mr Smith leans back a little. “Alright. Now, if you’re completely sure, and if everything Marcus told me is right, then we can open a case against him before we deal with the divorce. We will open a case against Ryan for keeping you against your will, about his kidnapping your aunt, about his assaulting you, and about threatening you. We can take him to court for all of that.”“Would that help me with my divorce?” I ask immediately. “Because the last thing I want to do is get anywhere close to him and try to pretend I’m trying to work out our marriage.”“We will do so,” he answers, “we will file for your divorce, but I think first we should deal with all the criminal stuff. We should go to the police. You should file your case, let the police investigate the issue, and as they do, then we will file the divorce and use it as the reason....as the basis for divorce.”I breathe out. He continues:“And it will also help get us a quicker divorce process. Altho

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

    MONIQUEI don’t know why, but my eyes automatically go towards Marcus. I look at him, and he gives me an understanding nod. I hear my aunt coughing beside me. When I turn towards her, I ask her "What?," and she shakes her head in total disappointment.I decide to take back my attention towards Mr Smith, who is still waiting for an answer.I nod. “Of course,”Mr Smith turns towards Marcus.“You don’t mind if we use your office?”“Of course. No problem.” Marcus replies.Marcus stands up and gives my hand a quick reassuring squeeze before letting go and walking out of the office. My aunt watches him until he disappears through the door, then turns to Mr Smith.“Can I talk to my niece for a second?”Mr Smith looks confused for a moment.“No, Aunt. I will talk to you later,” I cut in quickly. “Mr Smith is on a tight schedule. He has things to do. I’ll talk to him, and then I’ll come see you later and we’ll talk all about it.”She gives me a look, that look, and then she says, “I hope yo

  • DIVORCED MORNING AND REMARRIED TO HIS BROTHER BY NIGHT   The Decision

    MONIQUEI smile at him.“No, it’s fine,” I whispered, touched. “Thank you. Thank you for thinking about me....of me.”The only thing I had been focused on for weeks was escaping hell. Now all I wanted was to get through the divorce. Even if I didn’t get anything. Even if Ryan took everything. I just wanted to be free of him.“I have you,” I said softly. “I have the man I love. And I’m going to marry you...don’t forget that.” My voice steadied. “And look at the bright side. I found true love. I still have half of my inheritance. So Ryan can go to hell.”And just like that, Marcus’s expression shifted. Slowly. Warmly. Admiringly. And then he kissed me lightly.“I’m sorry,” he murmured, his voice low and full of love. “You just looked so good saying that. You’re just… so strong. I knew you were strong. I told you when we met.... We can do this. You have me. Whatever you need.”“Thank you, Marcus.” I held his hand back, watching his eyes, feeling a certainty settle inside me.I had made t
