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
Huling Na-update : 2025-01-17Dear Ex Husband, I'll Make You Wish You Were Dead 022: I want a paternity test
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 050: Control your son
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."
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?"
Dear Ex Husband, I'll Make You Wish You Were Dead 043: I want that child dead
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
