DIVORCED MORNING AND REMARRIED TO HIS BROTHER BY NIGHT The Head Of This Family
The BennetsAs Ariana and Mrs. Bennett looked at each other, confusion flashed between them. They couldn't make sense of Ryan's reaction, why he was laughing, why it was getting louder, darker, more unhinged. He laughed harder and harder, as if the entire mess around him, the police, Monique, his mother, Ariana, was one grand joke he had just now understood.Then, suddenly, he stopped.The silence was deafening.Ryan straightened his spine, rolled his shoulders back, and took a steadying breath. He ran a hand down the front of his jacket, smoothing it with a calm precision, then dragged his fingers through his hair, adjusting every strand into place like he was preparing for a business meeting, not whatever this was.When he finally turned to his mother, his face was composed, unnervingly blank. "Mom," he said, voice smooth and calculated, "would you please excuse us for a few minutes?"Mrs. Bennett hesitated. Her body didn't move at first; something in her told her not to go. Ariana

The BennetsMonique glanced away, unable to meet her aunt’s gaze. “Look, Auntie, remember when I told you I needed time to myself… when I left and stayed with you? I said I just needed space. But the truth is… there’s more going on in this house than anyone realizes.”Her aunt's face hardened. Her eyes said: I knew it.“And I needed to get out,” Monique continued. “I needed a place where I could think. Just… breathe.”There was a pause. Her aunt didn’t interrupt, but her silence was deafening.“I promise I’m going to tell you everything,” Monique said. “Everything you want to know. Everything you need to know. I will explain it all.”She reached for her aunt’s hands and squeezed them.“But just for now… can you stay with me? Just be here, in this moment, without asking questions. Please? Tomorrow, I’ll tell you what you want to know. But tonight, I just need someone. I just need you.”Her aunt’s expression softened. She cupped Monique’s cheek gently.“Of course, honey,” she whispered.
DIVORCED MORNING AND REMARRIED TO HIS BROTHER BY NIGHT Everything's Okay
The BennetsMrs. Bennett turned slowly. This....this was not what she wanted.Jennifer was fiercely loyal to Monique. And now she was here, standing at the threshold of the master bedroom, looking between Ariana on the bed, Mrs. Bennett near the bags, and the tension that stained every inch of the placeAriana smiled. It wasn’t a kind smile. It was bitter, sarcastic, a silent welcome to the circus.Jennifer’s eyes narrowed. Her gaze moved from Ariana’s wild expression to the half-packed suitcase on the floor, to the mascara smudges down Ariana’s face, and back again.“What’s going on here?” she asked again, stepping fully into the room now, her arms crossed over her chest.Mrs. Bennett inhaled carefully through her nose. She needed to manage this. Control it. Spin it, if she had to.“Jennifer,” Mrs. Bennett said, forcing a calmness into her voice that didn’t quite reach her eyes. “Please don’t worry about it. It’s just a little misunderstanding, and we’re taking care of it right now.
DIVORCED MORNING AND REMARRIED TO HIS BROTHER BY NIGHT Not Right Now
The BennetsWhen Mrs. Bennet took Ariana from the room, it wasn’t just to comfort her. She wanted to reduce the chaos and minimise the damage from the mess they were already drowning in. And now, with the police involved? Thanks to Monique. That little idiot. That woman was an idiot.Mrs. Bennet was furious, furious at both of them, Ariana and Monique, for dragging this disaster into their lives at the worst possible time. Without another word, she quickly escorted Ariana upstairs. The moment they reached the landing, she led her straight to the master bedroom.She placed her gently on the bed. Even though she wanted to scream and lash out, Mrs. Bennet knew that wasn’t an option. Not now. Right now, she just needed to get through this night, survive it without letting her emotions take the lead.“Listen to me, Ariana, ” she said calmly. “This is not your house...”“But it is!” Ariana shouted, cutting her off. “Ryan promised it to me!”“I know,” Mrs. Bennet said, softening her tone eve
DIVORCED MORNING AND REMARRIED TO HIS BROTHER BY NIGHT My Wife
MONIQUERyan cleared his throat. “Why don’t you sit down,” he said finally.The officers exchanged a look before quietly taking their seats. Ryan motioned toward Maria.“Maria, would you get the officers something to drink, some refreshments?”Maria nodded politely and walked toward the kitchen. Ryan sat beside his parents, but Ariana and I remained standing, neither of us willing to give the other ground.I watched in something like disbelief as they fussed with glasses and trays, like this was some kind of garden party and not a police call about an intruder. The ridiculousness of it only deepened the ache in my chest. The performance. The way everyone was playing along.Eventually, everything settled. The lead officer, now sitting with his notebook open, looked up at Ryan.“Mr. Bennett, you were saying?”Ryan gave a small nod. “Yes,.”“There seems to be a problem here,” the officer began. “A domestic disturbance, potentially. You said the issue is between you and your wife?”“Yes,”
DIVORCED MORNING AND REMARRIED TO HIS BROTHER BY NIGHT Explain That
MONIQUE“You really called the cops on me?” she asked, wobbling slightly as she pulled herself to the edge of the bed.I smiled. “I guess those answers will be answered when the police get in here.”“Are you crazy?” she asked, eyes widening. “I was invited here. Ryan and his family invited me here. Ryan is the owner of this house, and he loves me; he wants me here. Of course, they’re not going to take me away in handcuffs. Why the hell did you call the police?”“I told you to leave my house. You didn’t want to leave my house. And so yes, I did. I called the police. So now, let’s just wait so they can come here and decide if you own this house... or I do.”“Oh my God, Ryan is not going to agree to this. Ryan is going to be mad at you. Just wait till Ryan comes in here,” she snapped.Although she said this with venom, with confidence, I could tell it was slipping. That confidence wasn’t as strong anymore. She was wondering, really wondering, how I would even have the power to call the p
