MONIQUE

“Okay,” he said. His voice dropped low, almost like a confession. “I tried to force myself not to do it, not to kiss you, but I just couldn’t.”

He smiled, and I couldn’t help but giggle. My chest warmed, but then his tone shifted, grounding me again.

“But it’s time for you to get out there and report this bastard.”

“Okay, I will,” I responded.

I didn’t know why, or where that reckless thought even came from, but in that moment.... I nearly told him I loved him. My lips had almost parted

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

    MONIQUEOf course, I soon found out that I was wrong about that.When Violet and I arrived at her parents’ house, she walked me into the living room and handed me a glass of water while I waited for her to call her mom downstairs.The moment Aunt Jane came down the stairs and saw me, she froze for a moment, and we just stared at each other. Then she suddenly turned around and started walking back upstairs.My heart dropped and I practically ran after her the next second.“Auntie,” I called, trying to keep my voice steady. “Please… we can talk.”She reached her room and shut the door in my face.I stood there for a moment, stunned. Then I turned slowly toward Violet who had run after us, with a silent question written all over my face: What do I do now?Violet sighed gently and took my hand.“Come on,” she said softly.We went upstairs together.“You know how Mom is,” she explained. “She can stay mad for days, even with Dad, and they live in the same house.... She just needs time.”I n

    MONIQUETwo months later, After my battle with Ryan in court, where I had to prove he fraudulently stole from me, manipulated my inheritance, and abused his position as my attorney and representative, the court ruled that whatever remained in his accounts would be split 50–50.He still has the kidnapping and assault charges against him. The case is active, and although he isn’t in prison, he’s out on bail, waiting to fight the kidnapping charges.I know he had something to do with the attempted kidnapping at the restaurant. We just have to find the proof.But anyway… What makes me happiest, what matters the most right now is that Ryan no longer has a hold on me.I won.I walked out of that courtroom winning. I now own forty per cent of Bennett Enterprises, and I’m already rebuilding Moffat Enterprises. It hasn’t started operating yet, but I’m putting everything in order creating the groundwork, rebuilding the structure, reconnecting the pieces.And so far, everything is going well.W

  • DIVORCED MORNING AND REMARRIED TO HIS BROTHER BY NIGHT   Someone To Care

    MONIQUE“How does it feel to be free and divorced?” Marcus asks me.I smile back at him, lowering my shades over my face.“Feels fucking fantastic,” I tell him. And I mean every word.He chuckles softly, studying me like he’s trying to memorise this version of me, the one who survived.“Sorry I couldn’t be there,” he says. “How was it?”“It was the best thing I have ever had to see,” I reply. “I would have loved it if he were there, just so I could see the look on his face when he found out I got nearly everything.”Marcus’s eyebrow lifts slightly.“Nearly everything?”“I even have control of his bank account. It’s frozen. He can’t take money out until the investigation into him fraudulently sinking my dad’s company and misusing his position as my attorney, which made him amass all that money, is over. Right now, he doesn’t have a single cent.”Marcus lets out a low whistle.“The only money he has is any money that he had in cash on him,” I continue. “Because if he didn’t have any cas

  • DIVORCED MORNING AND REMARRIED TO HIS BROTHER BY NIGHT   If I Can't Have Her

    THE BENNETTS“What does that mean?” Mrs Bennett demanded, stepping forward.Ryan laughed once again, a sharp, humourless sound that set their nerves on edge.“It means it’s over. The judge signed the decree. He cited ‘extraordinary circumstances’ and ‘imminent threat.’ He fast-tracked the final order.”His voice turned flat. “They claimed I was a threat to her safety. That she needed to be legally separated from me immediately.”Mrs Bennett’s face paled.“They pushed for an emergency ruling. And without me even being physically present… I wasn't even aware I had court today. I just came from the police for god's sake”“Ryan?” Mrs Bennett called cautiously. “What did the lawyers say? I thought they had it under control.”Ryan swallowed hard, his throat working visibly. He ran a trembling hand through his hair, looking around the room as if he no longer recognised it.“She’s gone. The house, the accounts, the assets.... she took it all in ten minutes while I was standing here talking t

  • DIVORCED MORNING AND REMARRIED TO HIS BROTHER BY NIGHT   What Happened

    THE BENNETTSRyan’s chest rose and fell rapidly as fury and fear clashed violently inside him.“She will come back,” he repeated, softer this time, almost like he was trying to convince himself.Mr Bennett shook his head slightly.“Enough about that. What about the company? The board is already asking questions. Investors are nervous. The press is circling like vultures.”Mrs Bennett nodded slowly.“We release a statement. Ryan steps back temporarily for personal reasons. Maybe medical exhaustion. Maybe stress. Something simple, they’ll take that.”Before she could finish, Ryan cut in.“I’m not stepping down,” he said, his voice filled with venom.“You’re not stepping down,” Mr Bennett agreed calmly. “You’re stepping aside. There is a difference.”Ryan shook his head stubbornly.“No. I built this company. I can’t step down. They’ll see it as a weakness.”“No,” Mrs Bennett countered smoothly. “They’ll see it as control. And right now, control is the only thing standing between this fam

    THE BENNETTSMr Bennett scoffed. He clearly disagreed with Ryan. Mrs Bennett, on the other hand, was nodding.“Is it really?” Mr Bennett asked, his tone dripping with mockery.“Of course, really,” Mrs Bennett replied sharply. “We all knew Monique. She was meek, calm and a people pleaser. Of course, after what you did, Ryan..... I told you to handle Monique in a calm manner. I told you that Monique cannot handle violence. Isn’t that what I told you?”She folded her arms tightly across her chest.“And when you lashed out at her, kidnapped her, and hit her, you forced her to find someone else who manipulated her without strong-arming her. Of course, this is someone else. Monique doesn’t have the balls to stand on her own.”“It has been working for years,” Ryan argued stiffly. “So why would it fail now?”Mrs Bennett nodded in agreement, but Mr Bennett couldn’t help himself. He raised a brow slightly.“And who do you think that is?” he asked calmly.Ryan didn’t answer immediately. The trut
