LOGIN"You have no house to go to, no money, no friends and no child to drain me of child support. Don't be stubborn. You know you'll die without me, I'm your only family left." Once again that proud tone was sneered at me. "I worry for you." Devon’s eyes glimmered waiting for me to go on my knees and beg him. I shake my head. "Worry about yourself Devon. Do you really think you'd go scott free after the shit you pulled today? You couldn't even let me mourn my baby in peace." I searched for his gaze, my eyes burrowing into his. "I promise you, if not today, one-day Devon. I'll make you wish you were dead." ____ Corrie North gave Devon Remington everything. Amazing sex? She gave him her body. A devoted house-wife? She abandoned her career for him. A fucking maid? She scrubbed every inch of his sprawling mansion. A child? She nearly died bringing their son, Haven, into the world. And how did he repay her? Devon betrayed her. He cheated with a younger woman, handed her divorce papers, and vanished on the day their son died in a mysterious accident. Two months later, he finally showed up to Haven's funeral, with his pregnant mistress on his arm. As if that wasn’t enough, he accused Corrie of murdering their child. Devastated, Corrie vowed revenge. She vanished from Devon’s life, promising that everyone who played a part in Haven’s death would pay, including him. Four years later, Devon wants her back. He’ll do anything to make her his again. But Corrie isn’t the same woman he left behind. Will she make him pay for his betrayal , or will old flames pull her back into the arms of the man who destroyed her?

"But I don't remember him being your right hand man. Where is Abel?" Kennedy said taunting."What are you doing in my office Kennedy? Who even allowed you in here..." I said watching through the door to see a few eyes peak in curiously. Someone finally came to the door a woman as she apologises. I waved her off. Insisting that she leaves. It wasn't her fault. Either Abel or Corrie should have stopped this. Probably Vincent as well. If he wasn't updating me on Lilly. Kennedy wouldn't even have the fucking galls to walk in here like he owned the place.Kennedy all this while looked round the office as if taking in the very space like it was his. It pissed me even more when he walked over to me, behind the desk, running his index finger on it and clashing his thumb and said finger before letting out a loud hiss."Not my kind of space
EMMETTE Lilly. I've been thinking about that name longer than I should. Well not in any inappropriate way of course but after my conversation with Penny. Every single thing somehow points back to her. It's eerrie in a way, I can't put my finger on what exactly is, but it feels like something more is happening behind the scenes.And somehow my mind keeps thinking back to Penny's wedding. Maybe it had to do with the fact that I recently talked to her. But I wasn't actually thinking about Penny. Any time I recall the wedding. All I can think about is when Corrie and Lilly bumped into one another.Knowing Lilly, I was expecting her to put on some sort of show. But Corrie got away before she did anything. And later she walked up to me, trying to strike a conversation which was odd. Because the last time we even shared a glance she was still married to Benjamin Remington.I remember carefully when she spilled her heart out, nervously of course, talking very highly of her fiance then reveal
CORRIE Hatty and Mimi's expression basically said the same thing. And if I could guess, it was probably why was Abel trailing behind me so closely. The moment I got close to them, they were first both silent, sharing a quiet glance."Is he tagging along?" Hatty questioned, saying what was on both their minds."Good day ladies." Abel greeted. "I shall be your pilot for the day." He said as Mimi's frown deepened while Hatty's eyes widened as she claps both her hand in excitement."I didn't know you were a pilot Abel?" She asked.Abel chuckled, his face turning a bit red."It's something I learnt at the Airforce. Well I handled a bit more of fighter jets but I chartered planes and helicopters sometimes." Abel muttered and I as well was amused hearing this for the first time."Really??" Hatty awed in amazement while Mimi wasn't feeling it.I looked over to her to see a hint of disgust on her face."Do you really think it's okay to have pretty boy here follow us. I thought we were getting
CORRIE"So..." I paused. "So, he's blackmailing you too." I said as Mimi's eyes hinted a bit of question and relief. Relief probably that she wasn't alone on Kennedy's receiving end of blackmail. As if it's something to bond about."But why?" I further asked, what could she possibly be hiding that Kennedy is more than willing to drain the life out of her. To the point she feels it's okay to confide in me.Mimi looked tense, her eyes shifting back and forth in unease, rubbing her hand harshly to the point it felt like she had been doing that before actually seeing me. Her eyes dilated then dull as she paused, picking her words carefully."I really can't share..." She said, which is valid because I haven't said a single thing as well. But then again, this is Mimi. Even if I barely remembered anything about her. The little I know is enough for me to keep my distance."Then get out.." I unlocked my car door, getting down. Shutting it and walking over to Mimi's side to open it. I gestured
CORRIEI don't know how long I've been up. But it feels like it's been hours. My head at least ached a bit less and my vision was a bit focused.My surroundings were familiar and it didn't take long for me to realize it was the spare bedroom Kennedy let me stay anytime I paid a visit. Just one thin
CORRIE"Excuse me—What??" I hissed, horror morphing into my face. "You need to tell Mr Nash CM group withdrew their bid." Penny muttered like I didn't hear her the first time. My eyes still blank out at the news and my heart raced. My first day, I'm already writing a ten page report and I'm barely
MIMIEvery single time, when it feels like I'm at the top of the world, when it feels like I've finally won. Somehow, Corrie is always at the scene. As if haunting me, a grey reminder that no matter what I do, my victory is all an illusion."I apologize Mrs Remington, but I can't let you see Mr Nas
KENNEDY I adjusted my glasses, going through the documents on my table. My phone rings, it wasn't too far away from me and with just a glimpse, a smirk settled on my lips. "Already?" I chuckled, putting down the document and reaching out to my phone to see Emmette's name on my screen. I slide it
