Dear Ex Husband, I'll Make You Wish You Were Dead 009: Mommy
CORRIE "Good job Herod." I praised Herod, he flashed me a toothful smile, retracting his head back to his homework. The moment his sight wasn't on me, my smile faltered simmering into a thin line. My throat ached, literally burning, anytime I tried to clear it. My hand perfectly curved my throat as I tried to hold back a cough. I knew that drink was spiked. I had excused myself and went to the restroom sticking a finger down my throat to get out what I could out my stomach. It was fucking hard doing that without making a single noise. I could have died or at least I felt like dying. When Devon left me in the room with Melanie, she had exit the room and I lazily sprung up to escape. God knows what would have happened if Mimi hadn't come at the right time and soon enough I'll thank her in kind. My session with Herod was done. I picked up my purse and head to the door as two maids bowed at my exit. One opened the door for me as my steps hurried out to the gate. "Stop her."

MIMI My teeth sank down my fingertips, a futile attempt to still the quake within me but it was likely useless. I stomped my feet repeatedly as I watched Sarah on the stage play her violin.Sarah was Devon's niece and her parents invited us to attend her very first recital at fifteen. Her maternal side owned the prestigious Springville Auditorium and quite frankly I bet Lilly, her mother, just wanted to shove Sarah's achievement down my throat.I didn't even have the time to think about it, not after the text I got yesterday.So many questions ran through my mind, who sent it? Could it be the maids?Could it be someone close to me?I gasped turning to view Devon's side profile. I immediately looked away and I could feel his stare burning through the side of my face.His hand rests on my thighs, my chest thumped in dread. Devon tightened his grip on my thigh as we both locked eyes and then it hit me. What if it's Corrie?I got up, storming out of the room. I caught a glimpse of Lilll

MIMI"Mr Nash.." Amelia stutters, ready to butter Emmette as she eyes Emery. All eyes turn to him, acknowledging the powerful bastard."Madam Remington." Emmette hoarsed, rather annoyed at her sheepish tone."Is she your daughter?" She looked over at the little girl who held both Corrie and Emmette's hand."Yes. Her name is Emery." Emmette answered, the entire room mummurs in indistinct chatter. I look over to Devon, his face casts a frown, eyes pulsing with rage. My stomach churned at the sight of it, being pissed off was a fucking understatement."Oh, I didn't know you had a daughter," Amelia said her eyes shifted to Corrie."And—a wife. You're quite the mystery Mr Nash." Amelia said as Emmette glared at her. "I'm not his wife." Corrie immediately snapped, interrupting Emmette from speaking. "I just tutor his daughter." She chuckled dangling Emery from her end with a miserable delight that seemed to annoy me."She called you mommy earlier, and the girl does slightly resemble you."

CORRIEMimi fainted and it was difficult hiding the satisfied grin on my lips. The look of panic on her face as she realized I had her fate in my hands.Emery's head rest on my thigh as she kept herself entertained with my palm.Her father was next to me, going through his phone as I gave him a quick glance.He didn't need to stand up for me, but there he was ready to rain hell on the Remingtons when they were talking crap about me."Thank you." I started, peering quickly at my window as I felt my heart race. "You didn't need to do any of that. I'm grateful." I cleared my throat, pushing my head against the glass with more force."You're still in love with your ex husband?" I quickly turn to him, arching a brow. My lips curled up in distaste."Fuc—" I paused, realizing Emery was present. "No." I swallowed, my brows creasing in annoyance. I hated that man with every fiber of my being, it was obvious to everyone back there. Just this evening he got to see how nasty they were, imagine me

CORRIEI opened the door, my heart raced."Oh God." I hissed, someone was really in my house. Did they have a spare key or they picked my lock? I was going to figure that out.I quietly shut the door behind me and bolted it. Slipping off my shoes, I placed them to the side along with my bag. Tiptoeing toward the kitchen, sweat trickled down my face as I reached for a knife.The lights flicked on, and I spun around, knife in hand, only to come face to face with a familiar figure wearing a cocky grin. Letting out a deep sigh, I lowered the knife and tossed it aside. "Are you fucking insane?" I snapped, planting my hands on my hips."How did you even get into my house?" I groaned, brushing past Salem. He stood there, practically naked, with only my towel wrapped loosely around his waist. My throat tightened, and I swallowed hard, deliberately avoiding his striking emerald eyes. "I still have your keys Corrie." Salem cocked."I have work in Springville, I thought I'd stop by. Miss me?

CORRIE My eyes open shut, I gasped for hair rising from my bed. My body was drenched in sweat like I was splashed with water. The air feels dry, I cleared my throat with a cough as my bedroom door slightly opens. My eyes widened and my heart dropped to my stomach, I open my mouth to say something but nothing comes out. I slowly slouched forward, my eyes meet Haven's green eyes, his hand pressed against the edge of the door, his sight not faltering once. Then he turned his back to me, and I rose from the bed, following the sound of his footsteps. "Haven!" I yelled, my voice trembling. "Come to mommy," I pleaded, my voice cracking as I caught sight of the front door swinging open. My chest tightened painfully at the all too familiar scene. "Haven!" I screamed again, watching his small frame move further away. He didn’t stop. His back remained turned to me as he sprinted on his heels, heading toward the street. I broke into a run, desperate to catch him. "Daddy," I heard him c

I raised my glass absent-mindedly, the clinking of glasses filling the room like a distant echo. My hand lingered in the air, my eyes fixed on the table as my mind raced. Twenty million dollars. Where on earth was I supposed to get that kind of money? "Ridiculous," I muttered, suddenly snapping out of my thoughts. My eyes flickered to Devon and the Benjamins, who were now giving me curious, awkward stares. I chuckled lightly, reclining back into my seat as I raised my glass again and emptied it in one quick motion.Kathy reached for the wine bottle, a knowing smile curling on her lips. She gestured for me to pass my glass, pouring me another generous helping. “You seem stressed, Mimi,” she said, her tone drenched in a mix of concern and judgment. “Handling your father-in-law’s memorial must already be tough.” she cocked.I bit back my initial irritation and let the wine soothe my nerves. My panic over Corrie melted away, replaced by a new sense of resolve. I sipped slowly before lo

EMMETTEI puff out smoke from my mouth the moment I got out of the VIP room. I was forced to attend this dinner to celebrate the recent rise in profit. I look down at my hand, holding a cigarette in place. I can't remember when last I had one, it's been months and it's been more difficult since Emery was born.I sucked in a deep breath, puffing another round of smoke. Smoke exhale from my nose and mouth as I locked eyes with one of our partner's daughter, Abigail De Ronte, heiress to the De Ronte globe enterprise. A smile greets her face and that causes me unease. She struts towards me as she takes the cigarettes from my hands and puffs out a smoke. I glare at her, reaching to my pockets and lighting another one.I watched her take a huge whiff from the cigarette as she puffed a large amount of smoke, as if she wanted me to be impressed"You smoke like a gambler." I tell her immediately growing uninterested and tossing my cigarette to the floor and stepping on it.I shove my hands dow

Dear Ex Husband, I'll Make You Wish You Were Dead 062: Someone pushed me
CORRIEI was going to die. And I was too calm about it. The water made it's way to my lungs and instead of fighting it, I just gave up. This was a befitting way to die as an orphan.I was born with nothing and I was going to leave with nothing as well.I would finally see Haven. After four years, we would be reunited and just the thought of that made me happy at least."What about Emmette?" I didn't know where the question came from but I ignored it. It must be the voices in my head or whatever. It didn't matter. Emmette was fine after his wife died, he'll be the same when I'm gone."What about Emery?" My chest ached a bit. She'll be fine without me too. It would be wrong to continue pretending to be her mother. Maybe this might open up a reason for Emmette to be honest."What about me?" The darkness that once enveloped me disappeared. Well not completely disappear. It was still start but light emitted from only one thing, one person. Me.I saw myself right in front of me. I had a loo
Dear Ex Husband, I'll Make You Wish You Were Dead 061: Performative
CORRIEI hated it here.I hate the way it feels, like I didn't belong.It was thirteen all over again and a god damn Remington was behind my exhaustion. After the trick Sarah pulled, no one pretty much wanted anything to do with me. Whitney hating on me made it more difficult and she made my life hell.Even after the investigation, they couldn't find anything pointing back at Sarah and it made me even more demotivated to go to work.I slumped on my bed scrolling through my phone gallery to see pictures of Haven. I held my breath as I let the feeling of sadness sink in.What was I even doing here? Why was I stomaching all this?Mimi and Devon got what they deserve but I barely did anything. I barely fulfilled my promise I made to Devon. That I would make him wish he was dead.But with the way things were going for him, wouldn't he be regretting already? Isn't their lives ruined enough? Was my desire for revenge so—insatiable?A knock from the door pulled me away from my thoughts. I wen
Dear Ex Husband, I'll Make You Wish You Were Dead 060: Motivation
CORRIEThe entire air felt tense. Emmette walked towards me and I held my breath as each steps commanded authority. Bernard stepped forward, shielding Emmette from getting towards me."It's nothing Mr Nash... it's just a little misunderstanding." I was stunned, as well as everyone that was present. Emmette tilt his head to find my face, but I pushed my face downward in shame."Then move." Emmette muttered. "I need to speak to my wife if it's true." He said, his tone low but commanding. Bernard hesitated at first but, his shoulder fell as he gave way for Emmette to walk towards me. "Mr Nash..." Whitney spat holding up the packet of the water hemlock."This was found in your wife's pocket. Because of her, one of the horses died and our student was put in serious danger." Whitney muttered, a wicked grin forming on her face. Emmette looked at her and then at Bernard for just lying and I could see the disappointment in his face."Is this true?" He asked Bernard who froze in his steps. Ber

CORRIE"Today's activity will be horseback riding." The head teacher bellowed loudly as we followed her and two stable boys. They would be assisting with today's activity and they chipped in a bit of knowledge to both students and teachers along the way.Everyone gasped in awe, while my hand pinned behind my back as I drowned out the noise. I used to be a stable girl when I was 16. Horseback riding used to be Devon's favorite sport and I would do any thing at the time to blend as an accessory. I literally became a stable girl to please the bastard."Mrs Nash.." I was pulled out of reality to see the head teacher smiling back at me. It was eerie, it was odd and the first time she looked at me with such kindness."Your husband..." She points over to Emmette and a few men who were discussing. I looked back at her and then back at Emmette who smiled at me, then winked and I couldn't help but blush like some school girl."Won't you give him a wave?" She smugly grinned and I can see what's

CORRIE"I'm here." I could barely catch my own breath. My palms perch on my thighs, I squat down, hoping it would be easier for me to breathe after running all the way from the Villa.After yesterday night, I slumped into a deep sleep and woke up late. The moment I woke up, I swiftly took my bath, had one banana in my mouth and bolt out. I didn't even get to make Emmette's breakfast."Mrs Nash. You're late." The head teacher spat, her tone laced with venom."I'm sorry. It won't happen again." I gasped in little breaths, my back straightened, my eye met hers that was filled with scorn."I hope so." She scoffed. "Just because your husband owned the place, that doesn't mean you should do whatever you want." The head teacher muttered under her breath. I ignored her snarky comment and went to stand next to the other teachers.She gave a lengthy speech about doing our jobs. And threw a few shades at me.Each and everyone were given cabins. The cabins are where the students reside and in eac
Dear Ex Husband, I'll Make You Wish You Were Dead 057: we both missed you
CORRIEI bit on my nails nervously, my legs moved back and forth as I watch the doctor give Emmette a checkup. Guilt was a heavy weight to process and I couldn't help but wonder if this had anything to do with me. Emmette looked so tired, I didn't want to imagine what he could have gone through for the past week since we had been apart."He's fine Mrs Nash." The doctor audibly called to me. I paused, tilting my gaze towards them."But why did he collapse?" I asked, recalling memories of Devon's father passing out on numerous occasions before he finally passed away. He had arrhythmia and my face flushed pale on the mere thought that the same fate could go to Emmette."Does he perharps has arrhythmia?" The doctor arched a brow at me and then laughed, longer than he should, making my cheeks heat up in embarrassment.He turned to Emmette. "Is your wife a nurse?" He chuckled lightly, earning a smile from Emmette who shook his head."She's a teacher, and she's really good at it." Emmette an

CORRIEMy throat dried up, I felt weak in my knees. Emmette leaned back to flash his perfect smile which made my heart throb.I opened my mouth to express my shock, how the hell did this happen. How did I miss this?My eyes widened, staring back at Emmette's.Was he the one behind the promotion? "Thanks Mrs Nash.. I'll carry on from here." The teacher who had initially given me the roll call, took it away from me as she resumed calling out the children's names.I walked away from Emmette's clutches and went to get my suitcase, dragging it across the floor. I saw the a few teachers, going in a perfect line and strut my way towards them.I could not move my suitcase to their direction. I turned to see Emmette leaning on top of my suitcase with a smug grin on his face.I laughed out awkwardly, my cheeks heating up in shame."What are you doing? Get off my suitcase." I hissed at Emmette who added more of his body weight to the suitcase while maintaining eye contact."Get off." I hissed

CORRIEI must be insane to have come to school. I didn't know if all eyes were on me because of my previous scandal or it was just because I haven't been to school in weeks because of it.I called the headmaster that I'll be signing off my leave since it was so boring at home.My head was up, ignoring the stares, I tried hastening my steps without looking out of place or nervous and my heart jumped in excitement as I spot my class."Mrs Nash." I froze on my steps. My heart was beating. My world felt like it could end any second.I let go of the breath I initially held and turned to see Miss Cindy, the guidance counsellor."H-hi." I stuttered nervously. Her face morphed into a pitiful stare. She opened her arms wide and pulled me into a hug.I was stiff, my hands having no idea of what to do at this moment and most importantly I was confused as Miss Cindy hugged me tighter.She pulled away from the hug, her face steaming with tears."Welcome back. You're really brave and strong for sho

ABIGAILIt hurts, my entire body ached and my stomach felt like I was being continuously stabbed in the gut. My eyes were opened and everything was just a blur. My hearing was so bad I could as well as been deaf.But I saw two people towering, a contrast if white and black.My ears began ringing, I could hear mummurs including the loud sirens. Then the ringing stopped so as the figures in front of me.I squint my gaze, but it felt like it helped with my hearing more than the my sight."Thank you doctor." A male voice said. It was familiar, it was brooding, it was definitely someone I know.My skin had goosebumps and suddenly the white contrast disappears."Abigail..." The voice called me and suddenly my eyes widened and at that moment, my blurs started to crack like scale in my eyes.But Instead it breaking and falling off, they morphed into tears. I squint my eyes shut, opened my eyes back again to see Emmette in a black sexy suit. The monitor next to me beat like crazy as he hovered
