Dear Ex Husband, I'll Make You Wish You Were Dead 013: SALEM
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

MIMIA wine in my hand and a cigarette at the other. This day can't get any worse. Corrie, that slut was screwing Rendolf, my husband could probably still be in love with his ex wife and I rudely bumped into Mr Nash. I could have risked everything, had he not pardoned me.I couldn't sleep, it was 11pm as I stared at my phone on the living room table. I chugged down the remaining remant of the wine. I picked up my phone and dailed Corrie's number, immediately she picked."Hello Mrs Remington." Her voice feigned saccharine, my mouth was bitter as I looked around to see if anyone close by. The maids should have retired to their quarters but I still lowered my voice."Cut the bullshit Corrie. I told you I'll get your fucking money. Why the hell would you think it's okay to carry a paternity test on my son?" My heart trembled in fear, I looked around once more as my eyes faced forward."Oh, I thought you seemed a bit too relaxed so I was reminding you of your deadline. Or—" she paused. "Wo

MIMIMy throat dries up, I was lost for words. I approached Devon, gathering my robe as I studied his furious gaze. I stopped myself from biting my lips, I was convinced if I did, Devon would see through me and call me out of my bullshit."Why are you not in bed baby?" I muttered in a tone at an higher octave than normal. Devon screws up his brows, sizing my up."Would you shut the fuck up? I asked you a question. Where the hell were you?" He raised his voice, his voice thundering the entirety of the room.I looked around waving my hand top to bottom in a motion to calm him down."You might wake Herod up." I pleaded. Next to the lamp was a small wine glass that was laid up next to the wine bottle. Devon picked the glass and tossed it to my direction as I screamed. My hair falls to my face, my shoulder shudders and Devon approached me but I staggered backward, thinking of how to escalate this."I went for a drive." I didn't lie, did I?"For the past two hours?" Devon paused pointing hi

MIMI"Thank you for coming." I drop my tea cup as I scurried the maid off. The maid bowed before Keith as she left us alone.Keith looked around the house, not in amazement more of he had no reason to be impressed. The silence was defeaning but what did I expect? It's been four years since we stopped talking."Listen." I started, my eyes locked in his."I really want to thank you for what you did last night. Without you, I would have been in hell right about now." I mutter but nothing came out of his mouth. He just stared me down as I swallowed, that fucking annoyed me."What was your relationship with that man?" Keith questioned, sizing me up under his gaze. I chuckled, acting coy but that seemed to piss him off the more."Rendolf? He was just threatening me, he tried to beat me and I just pushed him in self defense and he ... just died." I explained. Kieth scoffed, I reached for my glass to drink and mid way he asked;"Did you have an affair with him?" My hand paused in shock. He is

CORRIEI take a peek at my blinds, my apartment was hurdle by paparazzi's who were camping, waiting for an opportunity for me to come out and ask the question, Did I kill Rendolf?It didn't make it any better that I was caught of camera dragging twenty million dollars into my house. My hands dig my hair, this had Mimi written all over it. I can't leave my house and the tabloids are ripping me to shreds calling me a murderer.If that wasn't enough, they dragged Haven's murder, accusing me of killing my own son. I turned over to Salem who sprawled all over my couch as I head to the whiteboard.I picked up a red marker and put an X on Rendolf's face. I sighed, pacing back and forth thinking of my next plan."You got the money right? What's the matter?" Salem put his phone aside as I glared at him. A scoff gnarled my lips as I drift my attention to him."Like twenty million dollars would put to rest my hatred for the Remingtons. If it's possible I would light up the money in fire in front

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

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
Dear Ex Husband, I'll Make You Wish You Were Dead 059: She did this
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
