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

CORRIEMy eyes glued to the TV screen. For the past three days I was dragged hell and back for my affair with Devon. The media had traced my workplace to Pinnacle Prep and parents were already on the school's neck to fire me.Then there was Emmette who continued to avoid the media no matter how much they dragged him for issuing a public divorce.As much as I felt bad for him, I was still mad at him for his comment the other day.The TV winds off, I looked over to Salem who casually dropped a bowl in front of me."Stop rotting your brain with the news." He said dropping the remote close to the TV. I sat up straight and pulled the bowl close to me. My brows furrowed at his outfit."You're going to work?" I said in a lowly tone. He nodded, going inside his room to get his bag. He dropped his bag right in front of me and goes to zip up his boots."I'll be gone for a week or else. Once I'm done I'll come back." He stated but his tone was dripping in concern. He looked at me."You're going

EMMETTE'The person you are trying to reach is not available p—' I slammed my phone to the floor in rage. My mother thinks she can hide quietly after telling Corrie the truth? Damn her.I paced back and forth in my study, how much does Corrie know about Emerald? To what extent? I can't even call her to confirm because she blocked me and I'm don't even know where the hell she was at this moment.My shoulder tensed up, thinking of my next step."Mr Nash." Abel calmly entered my study. His composure, a sharp contrast to my current agitation.I tilt my head slightly at him."Mrs Nash is currently lodged at her male friend. Your men are stationed right in front of his apartment complex. We are ready at your call." Abel muttered and I froze. I was mad that she had to stay with Salem of all people but then again, her safety in mind made me feel a bit sane. I turned around, my back leaned against my desk, torn on what to do next."Shall I give you advice sir?" Abel questioned, I gave him a

CORRIE My eyes were still stunged all the way to the Foyer of the emerald palace. Salem stuck by my side escorting directly to the elevator.We both made a pause, I turned to face him, pulling off the fakest smile I could muster, just so I could see him off. He already escorted me in the building, I didn't want people getting the wrong idea."Stay out of trouble lunatic." He smized, at least his was real. This was when he was supposed to leave but we both stood there awkwardly and I turned to wait for the elevator.The elevator doors dinged open, a few people walked out. I twirled, my eyes met with Salem one last time before it came in contact with the last person in the elevator."Well well well." Abigail chuckled, her eyes which seemed to been glued to her phone now clung to me."You're very bold Corrie, you really need to teach me how you do it." She burst laughing out like a maniac. She stepped out of the elevator, standing in my way as the doors shut behind her. "What a pain."
Dear Ex Husband, I'll Make You Wish You Were Dead 045: Emerald Goodwin
CORRIEI sat down at the passenger seat next to Salem. His eyes cascaded on to me as I looked through the contents of the flashdrive Arielle gave to me.All I could see were pictures and videos of Emmette and a woman who looked exactly like me. I could see their giggles, their eyes filled with love as they looked at each other. The one that made my mouth dry was her pregnancy, and it didn't take a genius to know that was when she was pregnant with Emery.In all the videos that were played, he kept calling her Emerald. Not Karrie. The realization dawned on me, the reason why he named Emerald palace after her. The reason why Emerald must have confused me for her mother. The reason why Emmette was so damn persistent that I tutor his daughter. I was just a splitting image of his ex wife, a physical reminder of desperation. And another thrilling revelation that I have a twin sister. This made me sick, made me feel all kind of emotions. Emotions I didn't want to process."Her name is Emera
Dear Ex Husband, I'll Make You Wish You Were Dead 044: It's also confidential
ARIELLE I tried my best to be silent on entering the legacy suite. Two days had passed and Corrie is yet to get back results from the DNA test. Although she suggested the test be done at the hospital but I knew my son too well. His eyes were everywhere and I'm sure he was aware about my intentions to visit. Time was ticking and it would soon be up before he realized my plan. He may hate me for it after this, but Corrie needed to know he didn't marry her for no ordinary reason. She needed to know she was being used and she and her child could be in possible danger."Why the creeping?" Emmette pulled me out of my thoughts. I froze, forgetting I was already in the suite but forgot the habit of not creeping. A faint smug left my lips and I straighten my back with confidence."Is that the way to talk to your mother?" I laced my tone in dominance, hoping he wouldn't see behind facade of fears."Oh, you want to act like my mother now? How soothing but that's too late now, don't you think?"

MIMIBead of sweats gathered on my forehead. My fingers knotted together in nervousness with Amelia, Devon and I alone in the room. We weren't the only one left, there were still some staff staying behind but they were instructed to stay clear for the time being while Amelia decided to access I and Devon.My heart was racing, Amelia was just taking small deliberate sips, that made me more nervous. I had hoped Devon was as nervous as me but instead he looked like he didn't give a single fuck. My hand lift up to my face as I bit down on my nails in nervousness.Amelia slowly dropped the cup on the table, both elbows perching on the polished wood. Her eyes shot at the both of us, I felt a slight shiver go down my spine, a loud gulp bobbed down my throat, my mouth opened slightly but nothing came out."You both were not deaf at Lilly's announcement," she finally spoke, relief washed over me but the brewing tension was still there, so I still held my guard up."The way you are both calm, m

MIMI"Why isn't your husband here Mimi?" Lilly called to my attention, barely taking a sip of her wine. She's been ceranading the fucking glass instead of drinking and minding her fucking business. I smiled. I threw a little family get together in one of the most elite restaurants to celebrate I and Devon finally staying at Emerald palace.I called Devon, asking, begging even that he should not fucking miss it, to avoid questions like this. And where was he? He was making me look like a fool.I put my glass down next to me."He's on his way Lilly, you don't expect him to be less busy. It was my fault for not checking in with his schedule." I said trying to ease the tension but the smirk on Lilly's face was definitely brewing trouble."Oh." She chimed loudly. "Benjamin is as well very busy but he still made time to come to your party." She smiled giving her hand to Benjamin who smittenly kissed the back of her hand. I was furious, envious even of the both of them. The thing that alwa

MIMII made my exit out of the hospital, with the corner of my eye I caught Corrie walking side by side with a woman that could pass as Mr Nash clone but way older, she share his same grey eyes and brunette hair or his.She must be a relative and judging by the way she carried Emery, she must be a close relative.I paused flashing my smile at the Corrie, she glared at me, a smirk plastered on lips as I came to a pause.Any moment from now she could as well as be foaming from her mouth like a damn dog the way she held my gaze.I made my way to her, folding my arms. Her face was so red she might as well exploded in anger."That bastard in your stomach, I hope you abort it. We don't want things getting complicated and don't even try to get some sort of child support now that you are pregnant with Devon's baby." I said as I took a closer look at the woman next to her."Don't you dare talk down to my daughter in-law like that. What do you mean Devon's baby? She's pregnant for my son." The

CORRIEI didn't like the idea of leaving Mimi alone with Emmette. I trust Emmette but I don't trust Mimi one bit and slowly regret cuts me with each strike of guilt.Emery's hand was in mine as she happily jumped up and down humming a tune. Her grandmother was holding her other hand as we tried to keep her safe."Corrie." Arielle called out to me, pulling me out of my train of thought."Hmm" I muttered."How old are you?" She asked. It wasn't odd that she wanted to know my age but it was quite abrupt."I'll be 29 this year." I answered, not thinking too much of it."Wow, you're still very young and you even look younger than your age. I thought you were twenty five." I could clearly tell the flattery in her tone, I smiled at her, giving her a small nod."Grandma, I'm four years old." Emery chipped in her cute voice. Arielle smiled at her, nodding at Emery's words."I know darling." She answered turning her attention to me. "Do you have any relatives Corrie?" She asked and again I fel
