MONIQUE

“I’m sorry, you have to wait here.....” they say.

“No!” I try to push past, panic rising again. “I need to be with him.....he needs me.....”

“Monique.” I hear Nadia’s voice is Firm.

She steps in front of me, holding my shoulders.

“Let them do their job,” she says, even though her eyes are filled with tears. “If you interfere, you slow them down.”

I freeze. My body shaking.

My heart is screaming at me to run after him, but my mind knows she’s right. Slowly… painfully… I stop fighting.

  • DIVORCED MORNING AND REMARRIED TO HIS BROTHER BY NIGHT   You've Changed

    I frowned.“What do you mean?” I asked, feeling like I was about to lose it entirely.“I have been more than patient with you, Mr Bennett, and you have wasted enough of my time. I am not going to play riddles with you. If you are done… please leave.”Mr Bennett merely smiled, looking mighty comfortable as his gaze went all over the office.“This is exactly why Marcus shouldn’t have trusted you with his empire.”I narrowed my eyes at him, and his smile grew brighter before he straightened and got more serious.“To run such a huge company requires patience and wisdom. You can’t be prone to anger every few minutes when someone tells you the truth…”I interrupted him. “What do you want, Mr Bennett? Say what you need before I call security on you.”He stood up, and I could see the mean streak that Ryan always had on his face when he got angry. For a second, I was scared.He straightened and started walking around the office as if he owned it.“I am Marcus’s father. His blood flows in my ve

  • DIVORCED MORNING AND REMARRIED TO HIS BROTHER BY NIGHT   I Loved Him

    MONIQUEI wasn’t her anymore.“You have changed,” Mr Bennett finally said.A light, almost humourless smile slipped onto my lips. “That tends to happen after betrayal… from the people you trusted the most in the world.”His jaw tightened slightly but He didn’t deny it. Instead, he said, “Ryan died, you know.”“Yeah,” I said, my voice calm, my face giving nothing away. “I know. The police told us when they came to take our statements”“I expected you at the funeral,” he continued. “We all did. More people thought you would come. After all, you had been married to Ryan for ten years. That had to mean something.”I let out a quiet breath.“Yeah, well,” I said, “I’m sorry that he tried to kill the man I loved, the man I was taking care of, the man I was praying to God to bring back. The funeral of the man meant to kill him was the last thing on my mind.”I leaned forward slightly, my eyes locking onto his.“So I’m sorry if I hurt your feelings by not coming to his funeral… because he almo

  • DIVORCED MORNING AND REMARRIED TO HIS BROTHER BY NIGHT   A Visitor

    MONIQUEHis hands moved, warm and familiar, like he was trying to remind me of everything we hadn’t had time for.... But I pulled back gently.He looked at me.That look.Half amused. Half frustrated.“Come on,” he said, his voice low. “It’s been like a hundred years.”I crossed my arms slightly, trying not to smile.“Doctor’s orders,” I said. “Until they say you’re fully recovered and can handle… exertion, we are not going there.”He stared at me unapprovingly. Then let out a dramatic groan as he fell back against the bed.“I can’t believe you.” he groaned.I laughed. I couldn’t help it. Because he was alive. He was here. Arguing with me. Smiling. Healing. Everything felt like it was finally, slowly… falling into place.Little did I know that the next day I would go to work at the office, and I would have a surprise waiting for me.*The next day started normally, as it always did, with Marcus trying to get me to stay in bed with him. Of course, him trying to get into my pants and me

    MONIQUEThat made me pause.“What should I do?” I asked quietly.“Let me help,” Nadia said simply. “Start with that.”I exhaled slowly.“Go to work. Just half a day. Delegate the rest. That’s why Henry is there.” she added.I let out a small, humorless laugh.“I want to know everything,” I admitted. “Every detail.”“And you will,” she said. “Just not all at once.”I finally nodded. I knew She was right.“Thank you,” I said softly. “I think I needed that.”Her expression softened.“You’re doing better than you think,” she said.I shook my head slightly.“It doesn’t feel like it.”“That’s because you’re comparing yourself to Marcus,” she pointed out. “He didn’t wake up one day and become who he is today. He failed. He built again. He learned.”I looked down at my hands.“You’ve been doing this for what… a week?” she added. “And you’re still standing.”That hit something deep inside me. Before I could stop it, my vision blurred, I stood up abruptly and walked around the desk. Nadia didn

  • DIVORCED MORNING AND REMARRIED TO HIS BROTHER BY NIGHT   Exhaustion

    MONIQUEI wasn’t expecting to do or say that honestly.I didn’t plan it. The words just… came out. And once they were out, there was no taking them back. No softening them. No pretending I hadn’t just stepped into something far bigger than myself.So I stood by them. I braced myself for reality to hit, for someone to tell me I had overstepped, that I didn’t belong there. But that didn’t happen.Marcus agreed with me. He took my side without hesitation, without even a conversation beforehand. And somehow, that made everything feel better than I expected. Like I wasn’t about to fall. I couldn’t have been happier.Ryan would rather have died than give me even a glimpse into that world, his world, his office, his power. A place I was always told wasn’t mine. But this? This was different. This felt like ours, and I didn't contribute a single cent to it.Still, even as I tried not to think about Ryan, about everything he had done, the damage lingered. It showed up in the smallest ways, in h

    MARCUSShe’s right, of course she’s right. I’m still recovering. Still healing. Still learning how to stand without feeling like my body might give out on me.And this.... This isn’t something you fix in one conversation, or ten, or ever.I swallow, then nod once. Not to him. To her.“I’m tired,” I say simply. It’s not a lie.Nadia steps in immediately, reading the shift like she always does.“Alright,” she says gently. “That’s enough for today.”She looks at him then, not unkindly, but firm. “You should go for now.”He hesitates just for a second. Like he wants to say more. Do more. Be more. But then he nods.“Okay.”He looks at me one last time.“I’ll come back.”I don’t respond and He leaves quietly without argument. The door closes behind him, and the tension in the room finally breaks. I exhale slowly, my shoulders dropping.Monique turns to me immediately.“Hey,” she murmurs, her hand coming up to my face, her touch soft, grounding. “You okay?”I look at her. Really look at her

    MONIQUEIt surprisingly took a lot of effort, a lot of pleading and negotiation to get Marcus to finally let me go to my sit-down with Ryan.He looked okay at first with it, but as time got closer to the sit-down with Ryan, it came quicker and quicker, and he got clingier and clingier. It kind of b

    MONIQUEAs Marcus spoke, every word seemed to make its way deeper into my being. His voice was steady and calm, yet each syllable carried purpose. He wanted me in this world. His world, a world not just built on business, but on control, power, and freedom. It wasn’t just about making decisions or
