As I drove, I spotted a clinic and made a split-second decision.

Yes. I was going to the hospital.

It was the only explanation that made sense. Mrs Bennett hadn’t come to check on me yesterday. She didn’t know if I had stayed in bed all day. I couldn’t lie well enough to cover all my tracks. But going to the hospital? That was believable.

So, that’s where I drove.

I parked the car just outside the hospital and walked in slowly, the morning air still clinging to me. The waiting room was quiet, j

    MONIQUE I held Marcus's hand more tightly, needing him to feel me.“You’re not a child or alone anymore,” I reminded him gently.This time, he turned his head slightly, looking at me.“I know,” he said. And again… he meant it.I held his gaze for a moment before speaking again.“Tomorrow is going to be hard,” I said. “But it’s also going to be the end of something.”His brow furrowed slightly. “The end?”“The end of them having power over you,” I clarified.Something in his expression shifted at that. Something real. He looked back up at the ceiling, like he was turning the idea over in his mind.“The end…” he repeated quietly.“Yes,” I said. “And the beginning of you finally being free of all of it.”Another long pause. Then, finally.“You'll Stay,” he said.I squeezed his hand gently. “I am here to stay. I’m not going anywhere.”His body relaxed just slightly beside me. Not fully, but enough. Enough to let the silence settle. Enough to let the night pass.*Morning came faster than

    MONIQUE The rest of the day moved fast. Too fast. Phones kept ringing. Messages kept coming in. Names I didn’t recognise, numbers I didn’t trust, all trying to reach Marcus. Reporters, partners, people pretending to care, people waiting to see him fall.Henry barely left his side. Files started appearing on the table one after another. Old documents. Medical records. Legal reports. Things Marcus had buried years ago, things he had survived, things he had never spoken about out loud.And now… all of it was coming back. For the world to see.I stood by the window for a moment, watching the sky slowly dim, my arms wrapped around myself. It felt like we were standing at the edge of something big. Something that was going to change everything.“Monique.”I turned at the sound of his voice.Marcus was watching me. Not the businessman. Not the man preparing for war. Just… Marcus, My Husband.“You’re quiet,” he said.I walked back toward him slowly.“I’m thinking,” I admitted.His eyes staye

    MONIQUE I stepped closer toward Marcus, placing my hand gently on his arm.“They’re using sympathy,” I said. “They’re using a newborn, a little girl, and a grieving family. People are going to believe them.”Marcus looked at me then, calm and steady, his eyes searching mine.“And what do you think I should do?” he asked. “Do you think I made the wrong choice to kick them out of here? Do you think I should have given them what they asked for? Do you think I’m a bad person?”I frowned, not hesitating for even a second.“Of course, I believe you,” I said firmly. “I know the Bennetts. I have lived with them. I know just how manipulative and how cunning they can be. How can you even ask me that?”Something shifted in his expression. Softened.Just then, Henry exhaled sharply.“Belief is great,” he said, “but public perception is something else entirely. We need a strategy. Damage control.”Marcus stood slowly. And just like that, the calm shifted. Not gone but sharpened. Focused.“They wa

    MONIQUE But nothing came out of her mouth because there was nothing to say. Not anymore.“Please…” she tried one last time, her voice breaking now. “At least for the children.....”“Stop,” Marcus cut in. Sharp and Final.“If you say one more word trying to use those children to manipulate me,” he added, his voice dropping dangerously low, “I won’t just ask you to leave.”That was enough. Lydia finally looked up Just for a second. Her eyes met Marcus’s, uncertain, conflicted, maybe even ashamed. But she didn’t speak. Didn’t defend. Didn’t even apologise. She just… stood there And then looked away again.Mrs Bennett straightened slowly, whatever pride she had left pulling her back together.“Fine,” she said, her tone stiff, brittle. “If that’s how you want it.”Marcus didn’t respond. Didn’t even blink."But don't blame me for what I will do next." She added.Silence responded.Realising what was coming next, she grabbed Lydia’s arm. “Let’s go.”And just like that, they turned and walke

    MONIQUE The moment Mrs Bennett saw me… her face twisted. Like she had seen something disgusting. Something beneath her. Lydia didn’t look at me at all.Mrs Bennett, on the other hand, moved straight toward Marcus.“Son,” she said quickly. “How have you been? I heard you are doing much better now.”Marcus didn’t answer. He just stared at them. And the silence that followed…was heavy, awkward, and Sharp.Mrs Bennett and Lydia remained standing since no one offered them a seat. We stayed seated, close, side by side. And yet, even in that distance, I could feel the tension rolling off them. The way they avoided looking at me… or looked at me only with quiet hatred.Mrs Bennett let out a small, awkward laugh.“I’m sorry to barge in like this, but you see… your father left us.”“And?” Marcus asked, his voice flat. Dry.She blinked, clearly thrown off, but recovered quickly.“He took everything,” she continued. “There was some money we had set aside… offshore. It was supposed to help us st

    MONIQUE Maybe this… this would help. With everything going on between Marcus and Nadia, maybe having Aunt Jane here would soften things. Maybe she could help steady the house. Help him not spiral too deeply into everything that had just been thrown at him.We needed that.He needed that.“Do you mind if we join you?” Aunt Jane asked, her tone gentle.“Of course not,” I said quickly.I moved around the kitchen, plating more food, serving them breakfast, and making sure everything was set. It felt… normal. Almost too normal for everything we had just been through, but maybe that was exactly what we needed.We all sat down together at the table And slowly… the tension began to ease. Aunt Jane probably felt the tension and started talking, telling a story from my childhood. Something small, light and funny.And for the first time since everything had happened..... Marcus laughed. A real laugh. Not forced. Not empty. And it did something to me. It loosened something tight in my chest that

    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

Lydia, just take your friend away from here, okay?” Mr Bennett’s tone sharpened. “Right now, we need a family meeting between the Bennetts, and you two aren’t helping.”“I’m al

    MONIQUE“No,” Marcus said, his hand already on mine in front of the table. “Please don’t blame yourself for that idiot.”“I’m the idiot,” I told him. And a tear ran down and I quickly wiped it. "Don't cry for him Monique." Marcus pleaded“I’m not gonna cry for him. I know I was so stupid back the

    MONIQUEMarcus smiled, nodding. I think he must have seen it clear in my eyes, the determination, the truth, because he nodded, holding my hand to its fill, and it made me feel a lot better than he thought it did.After our lunch date, Marcus had to go back to the office, but he promised to be back
