Dear Ex Husband, I'll Make You Wish You Were Dead 019: Dead Man's Child
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

CORRIE Devon's face shifted in confusion, seemingly to him I just spoke gibberish. He steps back a bit, trying to process my words. "You can't, can you?" I clicked my tongue at him. So he could leave me for her but he couldn't give her the same fate. "C-Corrie.." he stuttered, his hands running through his hair. I rolled my eyes at him heading for the door. He stood in front of me, preventing me from leaving. "You've made your decision, move." I hissed as he shook his head. "I can't leave her, we have a son together. He's four. I can't just abandon them because of a mistake we made." So now it was a mistake to him? "We had a son too." My voice breaks as I spoke. "He was four also. You got her pregnant and left Haven and I. So? What are you trying to say? I deserve what you put me through? I and my son weren't worth it?" I raised my voice at Devon, I felt vulnerable as his hands reached to comfort me. I slapped his hands away from me, I would never let him patch me back togethe

CORRIE I dragged my feet to my apartment. With all that's going on, I couldn't stop thinking about where the pregnancy test came from. My heart skipped a beat, wondering if it was from Mimi, but it didn’t make sense—it was out in the study room. Since I didn’t even put it there, who did? I straightened my back, trailing to my apartment. I had just finished tutoring Emery—more like babysitting her. I took longer than usual because I was trying to locate Emmette's bedroom. I almost got lost, so I gave up. At this rate, I won’t find Emery's birth certificate. I heaved a sigh; I was already close to my apartment door. My eye caught a dark hooded figure in black. I paused, scanning the stranger who had his back leaned against my door. He turned to me, and my face flushed in relief—it was just Salem. He flashed a smile at me, and I couldn’t help but smile back as I approached my apartment. "You’ve been busy," he smirked, slowly inching his face toward mine. "Hmm... how long have yo

CORRIEMy heart raced, this could not be happening. The police officer looked to Mimi, unaware of what he should do, she looked just as confused with Salem pushing his hands towards the officer's face."Officer, he's just covering for her. Arrest this woman and lock her up." Mimi finally spoke."I'm not covering for her, the drugs are mine." Salem spoke up."And why should we believe you? It was found in my son's bag. Are you saying you were the one who snuck it in there?" Mimi muttered as Salem walked towards her, his jaw clenched in rage."You want a victim don't you? It's either you cuff me up or I'm not letting anyone take her." Salem muttered in a low tone, the officer unhooked the handcuffs as he proceeded to cuff Salem.My eyes slowly well up in tears, my hands clung tightly to Salem.I shook my head slowly, my throat burning but all he could do was flash a smile at me."It's okay. I'll be back before you know it." He claimed as the officer walked him right out my door. Mimi fo

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

Dear Ex Husband, I'll Make You Wish You Were Dead 062: Someone pushed me
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
Dear Ex Husband, I'll Make You Wish You Were Dead 061: Performative
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
Dear Ex Husband, I'll Make You Wish You Were Dead 058: Lured and ambushed
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
Dear Ex Husband, I'll Make You Wish You Were Dead 056: Don't go
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
Dear Ex Husband, I'll Make You Wish You Were Dead 055: I own the place
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
