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

MIMI "You look so happy Mimi." Kathy muttered under her breath as Lilly turned to me with a scowl. Why wouldn't I be pleased? After all, I had finally beaten Lilly at something. I held eyes with Lilly as I turned to meet Kathy's pathetic gaze. The only reason she invited me was because of Enoch, he was hoping she could take after me, like I could actually teach her how to actually get pregnant. "I am." I hummed, lifting my glass of wine in the air, ever so gleefully. Kathy moved closer to me. "Is it the arrangements for the memorial that has you so excited?" She asked as I shook my head. "Maybe she killed someone." My heart stopped at Lilly's comment. I almost choked on my saliva as she turned to me without a fucking care. "Don't you say things like that. Are you insane?" I yelled, my mood ruined about the death of Rendolf. Even without trying, Lilly always finds a way to piss me the fuck off. "Why would you say that Lilly?" Kathy got up to quickly get a bottle of water

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
