Dear Ex Husband, I'll Make You Wish You Were Dead 029: The mistake has already been made
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

MIMIMy glass clinked against the other glasses of a few ladies I was talking with. They were all overjoyed at how Corrie was put in her place and then when news of how Emmette got into an accident was leaked along side with her cuddling with another man. They all sang praises of me not meeting her on her level. Their laughs were definitely fake, earlier they were silent watching Corrie and that Mr Nash run me down just because he owns the fucking Emerald building. Him ending up in the hospital was his fucking karma."That woman is such a magnet of death, first her child then Mr Nash. She gives me the creeps." Annette one of the women said."Right? Who knows she killed her son to get Alimony from Devon and is probably doing the same to Mr Emmette to get half of his property." Kathy said as I chuckled slushing my wine back and forth against the transparent glass.A hand gripped tightly to my wrist."Ladies, you don't mind if I borrow her." Devon's voice made the ladies chug on their w

MIMII felt like a prisoner waiting to be incarcerated when I walked down the halls along side with Amelia's Maid. I didn't even have time to manipulate the results for the paternity test, so it's obvious how much shit I am in the moment.One of the maids made a light knock to the door and without hearing back from her the door flung open. Amelia's eyes didn't cross mine, she was writing something with a fountain pen. A brown envelope laid in the middle. I finally accepted the possibility of that being Herod's Paternity.Amelia looks up at me in an instant."Leave, I wish to speak to her alone." She ordered and my heart raced. My face turned ashen. Was she going to kill me?Shit, shit, shit."Sit.." Amelia ordered, it didn't take long for my behind to be seated, I trembled in my chair, waiting for her verdict in the incruciating silence.I looked up at her, she was still writing, not saying a word."M-mother is the brown envelope Herod's paternity?" I questioned, no answer was given.

DEVONIt was late. I purposely arrived home late to clear my mind before I got up. My mother's words still rang in my mind, her threats stale and convincing. Worse of all she amended the damn prenup. If she thinks I'll spend a decade with Mimi just because she threatened to cease my assets then she had another thing coming.I entered the house, i was more than tired. I walked up the stairs, heading to the master bedroom and I hoped Mimi was at least asleep.I opened the door, the room dimmed. I stared at the bed, my eyes squinting at the darkness to find Mimi's body. The lamp flickered on. Mimi sat at the edge of the bed, draped in a sheer navy-blue robe. As she rose, a sultry smile graced her lips, and she moved toward me with deliberate steps. "I've been waiting for you," she murmured, her voice thick with seduction. Her hands hovered over my body, teasing, but before she could go any further, I seized both her wrists, halting her movements. She only chuckled, her eyes gleaming

CORRIEMy hands spread the curtains wide, light reached in the room. I turned to see Emmette on his bed still unconscious. He's been in a coma ever since, the doctor claimed he'd be awake in a couple a days but a week has gone by and he wasn't even responding to medications.I was worried, I couldn't sleep, the only thing in my mind was hope that he would wake up and show he he's alright.I even took a break from work just to be by his side. A nurse walked in with a stroller as she smiled, behind her was Salem who waved at me and I reply with a small nod.The nurse was changing Emmette's drip as Salem walked towards me as he casually glanced at him and finally plastered his gaze on me."I heard from the staff that you turned this place to your apartment." Salem muttered as a joke but I just walked over to Emmette the moment the nurse finished changing his drip.She put her hand back on the stroller nodding at me an assuring nod."Mrs Nash, why don't you go outside and take some fresh

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
