The Bennetts

The shift in the air was unmistakable. The tension that exploded in that moment could’ve been touched. Everybody seemed stunned in their seats, their eyes widening, nearly bulging, as the words sank in. But Monique didn’t care.

She kissed Ryan’s forehead sweetly, softly, like she was stretching the moment, trying to make it linger longer than it should have. And then she turned to leave. She walked away, taking her aunt with her, while the whole table remained stunned, frozen in place, as if no one could believe what had just happened.

Of course, Monique didn’t leave until she had smiled at the room, an elegant, smug smile before making her exit with her aunt in tow.

The Bennett family, together with Arianna, sat in complete silence. No one spoke a word until the sound of Monique’s footsteps and her aunt’s had completely disappeared.

Then Arianna was the first to act. She was angry, fuming.

“Where is she going?” she asked, her voice sharp, her eyes locked on Ryan. “Please

  • DIVORCED MORNING AND REMARRIED TO HIS BROTHER BY NIGHT   Truly Loves Her

    The Bennetts“Don’t cry,” Mrs. Bennett said firmly, her voice laced with just enough softness to sting. “You have nothing to cry for.”Ariana wiped at her cheeks, ashamed of the tears, ashamed of how much she still wanted to believe.“You know Ryan is not careless. He doesn’t do things without reason. You know there’s more at play here than just Monique. It’s not just that he’s still married to her or that he’s… caring about her. This is a game. He’s playing something bigger.”Ariana looked down, her voice breaking. “But what else could he want? He already has everything. I mean… even the last time, Lydia told me Monique wanted a divorce. So why didn’t he just give her one?”Her voice cracked in the middle of her thought, and she pressed her lips together to stop the sob from surfacing again. “I’m starting to feel like… maybe Ryan is playing me too.”Mrs. Bennett jolted. “What? Never.”The conviction in her voice struck the room like thunder.“Ryan could never play a game on you. You

  • DIVORCED MORNING AND REMARRIED TO HIS BROTHER BY NIGHT   Can't Leave

    The BennettsMrs Bennett straightened her shoulders.“How did you turn out so different from Ryan? Ryan, you don’t even have to tell him anything. He’s always ready to do what’s needed. But you? I don’t know if it’s because we’ve coddled you too much, or because we’ve given you everything you’ve ever wanted, so now you think you can do whatever you want. But just so you know.... You can’t.”She let out a bitter laugh.“Why am I saying this?” she asked aloud, not expecting an answer. “Because I need you to remember your place. You have no power in this family. And I want you to always listen and follow the person who does have power in this family.”Her eyes darkened.“And that person right now happens to be Ryan. Your brother.”Lydia swallowed. Mrs. Bennett shook her head before continuing, her voice sharp and unforgiving. “You,” she pointed coldly, “are his sister. That’s all.”She took a step closer to Lydia, her words slicing the air.“He loves you. He protects you. He cares about

  • DIVORCED MORNING AND REMARRIED TO HIS BROTHER BY NIGHT   Friends

    tThe BennettsMonique didn’t flinch. She just smiled wider, her fingers brushing her napkin lightly.But for everyone else, the tension spiked again, hot, brittle, suffocating. Lydia leaned slightly toward Ariana, her expression unreadable but alert. Mr. Bennett looked between his wife and Monique as if searching for a script he hadn’t been handed.Ryan looked like he was standing at the very edge of his sanity.This dinner, which had started with peace and celebration, was now crumbling in real time. He loved his daughter. He loved Rihanna more than anything else. And Rihanna, for all her five-year-old innocence, knew that her daddy loved her mother. She knew they were a family, the three of them. If Monique said one wrong thing, if she so much as claimed out loud that she was Ryan’s wife, it would collapse everything he had spent trying to protect.And the worst part? He knew he spoiled Rihanna. He’d built a world where her smile came before logic, before consequences. That world co

  • DIVORCED MORNING AND REMARRIED TO HIS BROTHER BY NIGHT   Who Are You

    The BennettsAriana couldn't hide her surprise, her expression tightened. She blinked rapidly, her hand still hovering in the air where Ryan had brushed her off. The tension rippled through her chest, through her stomach, and settled in the space between her and the man she thought she understood.Across the table, Jane glanced up, her expression mild but curious.“What’s going on?” she asked lightly, her eyes flicking from Ariana to Ryan. “Is there something more happening here?”Ryan, who had just taken his seat beside her, gave a practised smile. “No, Aunt. There’s nothing going on. Just a little family drama.”Jane returned his smile, but it didn’t quite reach her eyes. Ever since she’d stepped into this house, she’d sensed an undercurrent. The tension wasn’t just awkward or momentary; it was thick and quiet, like something was sitting beneath the surface waiting to explode. She had expected some coldness, after all, Ryan’s wife had disappeared without a word. But this? This was s

  • DIVORCED MORNING AND REMARRIED TO HIS BROTHER BY NIGHT   Who Is This Woman

    The Bennett's Ariana looks at Ryan, and she can’t believe these words are coming from his mouth.She holds his gaze, searching his eyes, trying to find a trace of the man who had once whispered promises to her in the same room. But all she sees is resolve. Determination. And a flicker of anger just beneath the surface. A warning. She knows what will happen if she doesn’t do what Ryan says. And she doesn’t want to test him now. Not with Monique standing right there. Not with all those eyes watching her.She glances toward Monique, who is still standing in the room, a bright smile on her face. The picture of calm. The picture of ignorance or maybe, calculated control. She looks like she doesn’t understand what’s happening. Like she doesn’t know who she is. But Ariana knows Monique knows exactly who she is.I mean, who is this woman? Ariana thinks. Ryan had promised her....this was their house. Their home. The place where they would raise their children. The place she would never have t
