I sat back on the couch, my hand on my forehead

“Oh my god,” I breathed. “It’s bad, right?”

Marcus sighed.

“Monique.”

I turned my head to look at him, my voice shaky.

“There’s something else I need to tell you,” he said carefully, “and I’m gonna need you to be strong for this, okay?”

My eyes narrowed. “Oh my god, what is it now?” I asked, feeling my chest grow heavier.

“If you signed documents.... and I don’t know yet, but if you signed things you didn’t read or didn’t fully understand… he migh

  • DIVORCED MORNING AND REMARRIED TO HIS BROTHER BY NIGHT   Everything

    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

  • DIVORCED MORNING AND REMARRIED TO HIS BROTHER BY NIGHT   You're Here

    MONIQUE After Marcus had finished telling me everything that had happened at the house, I tried so hard not to show the shock on my face.Nadia…Nadia had always been so kind. So present. So constant. She had taken care of Marcus, stood by him, built a life around him and now, hearing all of this… all the mess that had been buried for years… it made my chest tighten.Because I knew what she had been to him. She wasn’t just staff. She wasn’t just someone who worked in his house.She was family. Or at least… that’s what he believed.And realising that the very person he trusted like a second mother had been part of the beginning of all his pain.., it did something to me. It made me ache for him in a way that felt almost physical.But at the same time… I understood her. Not what she did....no. That part was ugly and unforgivable in its own way, but I understood the guilt. The weight of carrying something like that for years. The way she tried to exist between two worlds, family and empl

    MONIQUEThat night, after Mrs. Bennett left, I knew deep down I wasn’t going to get what I wanted. Her words had sounded final....soft but firm, like a door closing slowly in my face.So, by morning, I had already begun planning. I lay awake half the night, thinking of ways to get her to take me ou

    MONIQUEThe last day, I couldn't even get out of bed. I had been talking to myself. The silence of the room was too loud, and the words were the only thing that could push against it. I even started contemplating if I could die of hunger, or if I should just hang myself and die before I go through

    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

    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 threateni
