MONIQUE

When I could finally breathe, I ran out of the room and straight towards my aunt’s bedroom. I didn’t even knock. I just rushed inside.

She was just coming from the bathroom, steam curling behind her, so she let out a little cry or two when she saw me. Her hand flew to her chest as she took a deep breath. For a second, it scared me, scared me that even she was startled by the look on my face.

“What’s wrong with you, child?” she asked.

But she must have seen me, must have seen how scared I was, how trembling I still was, because suddenly her face changed. Concern swept over her features as she rushed toward me, a towel clutched at her chest.

“What’s going on, Monique? What’s going on?” she demanded, her voice rising with each question. “We just left each other five minutes ago. What happened?”

I still couldn’t talk. My throat felt like it had been locked shut. She guided me gently toward the bed and sat me down. Her movements were brisk, protective. She called the maid, asked fo

    MONIQUEI know she slipped. She didn’t mean to tell me that I was in Ariana's house.“Oh dear, I’m so sorry,” she says quickly. “Look, we will talk. We’ll talk about everything..... But right now, I’m more focused on you gaining your strength back and making sure you’re as comfortable as possible.”“Comfortable?” I echo. My voice is sharper now. “I thought you were helping me get out of here.”“I am,” she says firmly. “And I will. But like I said, this is Ariana’s house. She’s here with Ryan, and they have a strong hold on you. You don’t know what I had to go through just to let them allow me in here. Trust me, Monique. Do not doubt me. I am the only way for you to get out of this room and out of this house. And I need you to stop doubting me. I need you to trust me, Monique. Do you think you can do that?”I hesitated. This was Ryan’s mother. This was Mrs. Bennett. From the moment I found out the truth about my marriage, I knew she was cunning and deceptive. But then again, what choic

    MONIQUEI stared at her, my eyes wide.“What? What are you doing here?" I asked hoarsely, "You’ve got to help me,” and I blurted out the next second. “Ryan has gone crazy. He’s kept me in here, and I really....I really need to go to the hospital. I don’t know where my aunt went, and he’s threatening me. Please, you’ve got to help me. You’ve always been like a mother to me. You have to help me,” I pleaded with her. It was Mrs. Bennett.She smiled.“Of course, dear, I know. And that’s why I’m here. I’m going to help you. But in order to help you, I need you to help me too, Monique,” she said softly.She placed the food tray on the bedside table and came to sit beside me on the bed. I looked at her, my eyes stinging. I knew she had always been on Ryan’s side, but I was hoping, desperately, somewhere in her heart was still a motherly instinct, a part of her that would see Ryan for what he was doing and try to help me. Maybe I could turn her against her son. Or maybe… I didn’t know. I w

    MONIQUEUnfortunately, when I woke up again, it was dark..... Too dark.I was shivering. I was sweating. My whole body felt weak, like it wasn’t even mine anymore. I tried to move, but my limbs wouldn’t listen. I tried to shout, but I couldn’t even tell if the sound left my mouth. Everything was hazy....sound, sight, thought.Somewhere in the blur, I thought I heard Ryan’s voice. Low. Close. I couldn’t be sure. I couldn’t remember clearly.And then, as if time folded in on itself, I woke up again. Daylight streamed faintly through the curtains, and I realized I was still in the same room. But this time, things were different. There were IVs in my arm. Clear tubes ran from a bag above me, dripping something into my veins. On the table beside the bed sat a new bottle of pills, a fresh glass of water.And Ryan.The moment I opened my eyes, my throat burned with dryness. I was so thirsty it hurt. My lips cracked when I tried to speak, but no words came, just a rasp of air. My eyes went to

    MONIQUE I shook my head, trying to make sense of his words. “What do you mean? Why are you talking like this? This is serious, Ryan. You have to let me go.”His smile didn’t move, but something in his eyes flickered. “You’re commanding me now?” he asked softly, almost mockingly.“No!” I said quickly, my voice rising. “I’m not commanding you. I’m just… I need to know where I am. This isn’t our house.” My gaze darted around the dim room again. The walls, the bed, the heavy curtains, it was all wrong. “This is not our house. Where am I?”“You’re fine and safe, stop worrying,” he said, stepping just close enough for me to feel his presence. “How’s the head?”I reached up instinctively and winced when my fingers brushed the tender bump. “It’s huge,” I whispered, panic creeping into my voice. “I need to go to a hospital. My ribs are aching. I have pain everywhere. I need to see a doctor.”Ryan’s tone dropped, low and deliberate. “What you need,” he said, “is to calm down, take some medicin

    MONIQUE I almost dropped the keys, but then the engine roared to life.I hit the gas. We flew down the driveway, the car jerking as gravel spat from the tires. My mind was a single prayer: don’t let Ryan be on the road yet. Don’t let him catch me now.The gates loomed ahead, still open, still free. I gunned the accelerator. The house shrank in the rearview mirror, the camera, the office, Ryan, all of it falling away behind me as the road opened wide.I was about to make it. Free. I was about to get away. I was about to get what I wanted. I had the evidence in my purse. I was ready. I was done with this.The gate was just in my reach. Freedom was just ahead. But then, suddenly, a car appeared. Out of nowhere. Right in front of me. I shouted, my voice cracking. My hands flinched at the steering wheel. My arms shrank. I didn’t want our cars to collide. I didn’t want this to end here.Instinct took over. I swayed the wheel. The car jerked. Tires screeched. Something....metal, wood, I don

    MONIQUEMy aunt's eyes narrowed. “It’s worth a try. Why don’t you go check it out? I’ll get a baseball bat or anything I can use in case he comes back.”I nodded toward my aunt, swallowing the lump in my throat. Without another word, she disappeared back into the house, leaving me standing there with my heart pounding. I practically ran down the hallway, heading for Ryan’s study.The house felt too quiet. Dead quiet. All of a sudden, every move I made, every step I took, seemed to echo louder than it actually was. My breath sounded like thunder in my ears, my heartbeat like a drum. When I reached Ryan’s office, I tried the handle. Locked. Of course, it was locked. How dare I think it would be open?My mind spun, panic clawing at the edge of my thoughts. If I had to get in, I needed another way.... Then I remembered. Ryan kept a spare key hidden in our bedroom, tucked away where he thought I’d never find it. That had to be the key to his office. I bolted upstairs, nearly tripping over
