MIMI

My legs felt weak; they could give out any second. My body ached, and I felt like a mindless zombie with each step I took.

My body felt heavy—it was hard to look up—but I felt relieved seeing the Emerald Palace.

All I needed was a nice, good sleep, and I'd think of what to do next.

I walked into the building. Immediately, I forced myself to proudly sway my hips. I forced a smile too and greeted a few people till I got to the elevator.

The elevator doors opened, and I waited for a few people to get in. I stayed at the back, exhausted, till the doors shut.

I drowned out the noise of the people in the elevator with my thoughts. How was I going to pay the maids? The chef? Herod's driver and his tutor? I bit down on my nails until the elevator dinged. Everyone looked around, waiting for whose floor it was. A woman walked out, and my eyes turned to the buttons to see it was my floor as well. I wrestled through the crowd, twirled slightly, and bowed to the crowd in respect. Th

    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

    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.

    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 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

    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.

  • Dear Ex Husband, I'll Make You Wish You Were Dead   001: You slapped me

    CORRIE It should have been Devon in that casket, He should have died instead, not my son. Haven was just four years old and death had to take him from me. My throat itched as I groaned in pain. I don't know how long it's been, it feels like years since I saw my boy alive and that breaks my heart each time I gaze upon the casket. And I was to blame as well, he died running into the streets, hoping to see his father. A phone rang, and before I knew it the front door was flung open and I heard screams and gasps only to meet him dead by the roadside. Someone had forged a phone call and lured my Haven to his death. Haven was my baby, my only hope in this cruel world. There wasn't anything I would have done for him and his last words haunt me anytime I thought about him. It was my fault for giving him Devon Remington as his father. To think Devon would have at least rushed to see his dying boy. But no, not even once, he was with that slut and didn't even bother to find Haven till now

    CORRIE I lift my hands in the air once again to slap Mimi but Devon stopped me midway. "Corrie are you out of your mind she's pregnant." Devon's voice was sulken in disappointment as he struggled to stop me. "I-I can't breathe. It hurts.." Devon let's go of my hand as he runs over to Mimi, his right hand snaked round her waist and his left hand intertwined with hers. She got even louder to the point I was sure it was just for attention. Everyone gasped running over to Mimi. "Is she okay?" "She seems pregnant." "Why would she slap a pregnant woman?" "Women supporting women in the mud." "Is there a doctor in here? Someone's should help her." Indistinct chatter bounced back and forth as I drowned out the noise and turned to Haven's casket. Even though this was his funeral, it was inevitable that Mimi would be the center of attention. The pallbearers carried Haven's casket and my heart dropped. I didn't get to say goodbye. "W-Wait.." my voice echoed but they didn't stop as th

    MIMI Four years later My hands flung around him, our voices blending with each other as I let out a moan. My hips lifted slightly as he thrust his cock inside me in a fast motion. My body felt like it was going to explode as my moans grew louder. Beads of sweat dropped down my neck as I avoided his gaze. "Look at me, Mimi." My eyes trailed to his sweaty face, a warm redness emanating on my cheeks. "Who's better, me or Devon?" His movements slowed purposely to spite me. I grunted internally, buckling my hips to and fro, my moans morphing into exasperated cries. He placed his hands on the sides of my hips and pressed them down, a wicked glint gleaming in his eyes as he hovered over me. "What's the matter, Mimi? Can't talk?" he snarled at me as I sucked in a harsh breath. "It's you, Rendolf." Almost immediately, he picked up the pace, thrusting his cock in me relentlessly. Just as I was about to cum, my phone rang. My head turned to the side to search for it, but R

    MIMII adjusted the thick frames of my shades to fit on my face. My eyes kept an eye out for the auditorium. Sarah was having another recital and in a few minutes, she, her mother and Amelia would all come out of the Auditorium.I counted each passing second with nervousness. What was I going to say? No matter how much I had practiced. My heart still felt like it was caught in my throat.The doors opened, people from different elites and background flocked out. I steadied my glasses, trying to fixate my gaze to catch Amelia. I didn't understand why she would strip I and Herod from the registry. Devon was quite understandable but I and Herod? There had to be something wrong, and if the fault was found in me, I was ready to beg.Amelia walked out with Lilly to her left and Sarah to her right, their eyes meeting as Sarah's arm remained linked with her grandmother's.I could hear their conversations. I gulped, feeling unsettled in my gut. I rid of every uncertainty and trailed towards

    DEVON "Mr Remington. Your mother is busy at the moment please wait till she's done." Mom's secretary pleaded but I could care less. Who had time to wait when my inheritance was publicly stripped from me. And I got the news this morning while I was scrolling through my phone. I wasn't given a go ahead, nor an explanation and my mother could barely take my calls. She was treating me like a client, instead of her own flesh and blood.I was close, to the door of my mother's office. A hand latched on to me, trying to pull me away but with full determination, I fought through and kicked the door down and let my self in.Mother's face fell, her face a contort of shock and worry. I traced her eyes down to the swivel chair, who's back was panned at me.The chair slowly twirled, to reveal Emmette Nash. "What are you doing here? Mother what the hell is this?" I raised my voice at the both of them. Emmette flashed me a smirk and just in time my mother's secretary ran in. She went on her knees

    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
