Dear Ex Husband, I'll Make You Wish You Were Dead 025: Use me
CORRIENothing was more shameful than this. I was sprawled in a prostrate position, my head bowed before the family I despised most—all because of something that was entirely their doing.“Get up, Corrie.” Mimi’s voice broke through the haze of my humiliation as she rushed to my side. She knelt down, pulling me up by the shoulders and into a warm embrace.“What are you doing?” she whispered, her tone laced with mock concern.“All this theatrics for a criminal?” she continued, her voice rising slightly. “You’re making it look like we forced you into that position.” A single tear glistened in her eye, though her words, sweet as they sounded, dripped with venom.Before I could gather my thoughts, a commanding voice broke through the room.“What’s going on here?”“M-Mr. Emmette, p-please, it’s not what it looks like,” Mimi stammered, tightening her grip on me as though we were in some heartfelt moment. “Corrie barged in here, demanding we help her pay a bribe. We refused, and then… she j

CORRIESince I agreed to the contract marriage, I didn't want a second big wedding. I had a big wedding once and I it meant nothing because I had to slave the entire years of my marriage with Devon. It was my punishment from Amelia for trying to upstage Lilly who also had a big wedding as well.Emmette and I settled for a court wedding, nobody needed to know we were married for now for my safety. I had initially taken my time to get dressed by a professional stylist and makeup artist Emmette had sent.When they were done, Salem stood watching as they finished making me look presentable. Although this thing was supposed to be a secret, Emmette was putting too much effort for a contract wedding. Imagining we actually had a big wedding, I'm pretty sure he would have done more.The makeup artist and the stylist waved me goodbye as they went out separately. My hair was styled to perfection, each strand falling gracefully into place. My makeup was flawless, accentuating my features with ju

CORRIEI froze. My phone in my hands as my silky robe draped all over my body. I can't believe that I was going through with this. I sucked in a breath. I tapped the door ever so lightly as I wait for Emmette to answer the door.The door creaks open. Emmette was in a Robe as well. His brows knit of confusion, a tapestry that made it easy to read.What could I be possibly doing in front of his bedroom."Corrie? Can I help you?" He asked as I nodded."Won't you let me in?" I smiled seductively. He let out a small sigh, I let myself in as he shut the door behind him and locked it."Can't sleep?" Emmette muttered but I was too busy getting awed at his bedroom. It was massive, it didn't make sense that he'd need this much space. I turned to Emmette who sat down on a cushion. Glasses tugged tightly to his face as he scrolled through his tablet."Emmette since we're married," I paused taking off my robe with one flick back ward. The only thing on me was lingerie that barely left anything to

MIMI"Hi Sarah." I greeted my niece as she just nodded and forced a smile. She didn't say anything else. I watched her from the rearview mirror going through her phone. I shrugged, the only reason I was picking her up was because Lilly insisted I do. With Devon against me, I need all the allies I could get, even Lilly could do."How was school Sweetie." I muttered trying to make conversation.She ignored me, her eyes still glued to her phone. What a spoiled brat, she's just like her selfish mother. I fixed my rearview mirror and started the car and began driving. Herod was next on my list.Ever since Devon knew about Herod's paternity we've been fighting non stop and Devon started treating Herod differently.Herod thinks it's because we fired his tutor and thinks having Corrie back everything will go back to normal. If only his four year old mind knew that slut had sullied my marriage.He's been depressed and that was begining to show in his results. I'll have to get him another tutor

CORRIE"But I was on birth control, I took a plan b. How could I get pregnant?" I raised my voice in fear. How did I get to this point? I should have listened to Hatty, I should have gotten tested."The good news is you don't have AIDS or any STI's which is surprising to hear from Devon." She muttered while I still bit my lips in denial. What was I going to tell Emmette? That I'm pregnant for another man?"You could schedule an abortion, if you're this panicked." Hatty muttered as I shook my head."I need to think, I need so time to myself before making a decision." I said as Hatty nodded."Of course." She paused looking pitifully at me. "You'll be okay?" She said as I nodded.I got up and shakily walked out of her office and out of the pharmacy.As much I don't want anything to do with Devon, maybe this is my chance to right my mistakes. Maybe this baby was a second chance at having Haven. I shake my head in disgust, when did I become this desperate?My phone rings from my bag, I pi

CORRIE Ba-thump. Ba-thump. Ba-thump. The sound of my heartbeat pounded in my ears. My chest tightened as my breath hitched, and I struggled to calm the storm within me. Emmette leaned back slightly, his eyes fixed on my face, and I felt the weight of his gaze. My nerves were a mess and all I could think about was what was going on in that head of his? He tilted my chin upward, his thumb brushing the corner of my lips. Instinctively, I shut my eyes, almost as if it were second nature. My heart hammered louder, drowning out everything else as I braced for the kiss that I thought would follow. But it didn’t come. His hand lingered, still pressed against my lips. Confused, I opened my eyes to find a teasing smile dancing across his face. Slowly, he withdrew his hand, the smirk on his lips widening. "There was something on your lips," he said casually. "I was just helping you clean it off." I froze, mortified as warmth crept up my cheeks. "Oh..." I stammered, straightening in my se

CORRIEThe room went silent just about the same time it burst into an uproar of silence. The security men let me go immediately, I ran towards Emmette's side like a damsel in distress. My gaze fell to Mimi who already had a frown plastered on her face.I smiled a bit and then turned to Emmette."Honey, I don't think anyone likes me here. Let's just go home." I pouted to Emmette, my eyes hinting for him to follow along."Alright darling let's go." Emmette mustered in the most sweetest tone, if I wasn't aware of our contract I would have believed it."This shall be the last time I'll attend any of your parties Mrs Remington. It's a shame you have to display such foul behavior to my wife at your father in-law's memorial." Panic crept on to Mimi's face, she stepped forward towards us, her eyes quickly searching for a solution."I-I didn't know she was your wife Mr Emmette, e-everyone in this room can agree we all thought she must have been an escort.""So you're saying my wife is a prosti

CORRIEI froze, rooted to the spot as my entire life flashed before my eyes. In that moment, it felt like I was outside my own body, watching the car hurtling toward me, just as it had toward Haven. Tears welled up in my eyes, and an unfamiliar fear gripped me. I couldn’t shake the memory of Haven’s expression, the way the excitement on his face had crumbled the moment the car approached him. So many questions swirled in my mind, but one stood out above all, Was my baby this scared as well? What was the last thing on his mind before he died? Because all I could think about now was my Haven. I shut my eyes tightly. Suddenly, with a powerful shove, I felt myself being pushed off the road. The force sent me stumbling to the ground as the car slammed into Emmette. Time seemed to slow as I watched him tossed into the air, his body crashing onto the street with brutal force. The car finally screeched to a halt. The driver stepped out, trembling. His wide, terrified eyes locked with

CORRIE Emmette's cold gaze washed over me. His stare alone made me shiver more than in the hospital. I stared at him waiting for him to give me a reply but he looks too shocked to fathom one."What about your revenge? I thought we had an alliance." Emmette swallowed, looking like his world was falling apart."It's over." I spat, my eyes reddened as tears formed in my eyes. My voice was shaking and I hated it, that I was inferior to him."I-I was doing fine before you came into the picture. I'll be fine without you." I stuttered, my words barely coming out without making a stammer. My face fell to the floor, I tried to convince myself that it made it easier to talk to Emmette. But I was humiliated and I feared for a second, just looking into his eyes will change my mind."Corrie..." Emmette muttered softly, closing the distance between us. But I jerked back instantly."I was greedy, thinking my revenge would be easy with you around. But it was never going to be—not when I'm up against
Dear Ex Husband, I'll Make You Wish You Were Dead 049: Who stabbed who?
CORRIEI can still hear the sirens ringing in my ear. The sound of the paramedics trying to stop Abigail from bleeding. The looks in their eyes that held the heavy weight of disgust. All except Emmette gave me that look till we got to the hospital. They rolled out a stretcher, plopped Abigail on it and whisked her away to the emergency unit.I was freezing and suddenly felt the dryness of Abigail's blood on me. I looked like a murderer and based on the scene I was waiting for the cops to walk up to me, cuff me and take me to jail."You." A furious tone brought me back to the cold grasps of reality. Xavier De Ronte shot his index finger at me, his steps getting louder and closer. He raised his hand in the hair and I closed my eyes, bracing for the harsh impact.Then I waited and waited and waited but nothing happened. I opened my eyes to see Emmette standing in front of me, his back shielding me. His hand held Xavier's, who wasn't too pleased about Emmette's intrusion."Get out of my

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."

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
