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 they moved towards the exit.

"Please," my voice fell, I felt a grip to my wrist, I struggled to free from it but it's grip was latched on to me.

I looked back to see Devon, a grim look on his face.

"Let me go." I screamed. "Let me fucking go Devon." My voice cracked as I tried to let myself free, even pinching him.

He flung me toward Mimi, and I hit the polished wooden floor with a thud, sprawled next to her.

"Apologize to my wife." His voice was dark and my eyes trailed to Haven's casket, they carried him away and I didn't even get to tell him how much I loved him.

My palms pressed the bare wooden floor, tears dropped one by one and I felt a bile rise in my throat.

"Apologize or I'll make sure you won't get a single drop of Alimony from me." My tears seemed to flow and I seem to laugh once again.

"I don't need it." I muttered with no emotion in my voice. I rise from my sprawled position as I walked past Devon dragging my feet.

"You do. Don't be stubborn Corrie. This is one of the reasons why Haven died." Devon muttered in a cocky tone, thinking this was one of my tactics to get his attention. My blood boiled, my head hurt the more.

"So you really think I killed my own son with my own hands?" I said turning slightly to face him.

"I didn't say that Corrie, don't put words in my mouth." Devon said in a grunt, a hint of guilt lingering in his voice.

"I'm not putting shit in your mouth. You blatantly accused me of killing Haven, so did that slut." I yelled pointing over to Mimi as two women cater to her.

"My wife is not a slut." Devon raised his voice in intimidation but I could care less. Previously I would be shaking at that tone, trying to appease him but now I didn't have to suck his balls any longer.

"Oh then having an affair with her, behind my back makes her what? Do you prefer homewrecker?" I purposely taunt the both of them as the women besides Mimi immediately let go of her. Disgust etched on their face as they glared at Mimi.

"We were just in love, you have no right to judge us." Mimi barked at me shamelessly, her reply made me Infuriated. I was conversing with idiots.

"You need that money. You spent everything on Haven's funeral. Just apologize and let's part ways." I was appalled at his audacity, yes, I spent everything on Haven's funeral because I didn't want to feel the guilt of not giving him the best even in death.

"If I have to apologize to her, then I don't want your money. I rather die than apologize to that murderer." Devon's eyes widened in surprise. He was probably expecting me to beg him, sprawl at his feet looking pathetic but I wasn't going to give him that feeling.

"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 with a quiet warmth, soft and searching, as though they held the weight of unspoken hope. Waiting in every bathed breath for my approval. For me to be vulnerable once more and depend on 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."

  • Dear Ex Husband, I'll Make You Wish You Were Dead   063: Blacklisted

    CORRIEMy chest hurts, my entire body was cold and at the same time my body was burning. Light cast above my eyes, bugging me till I opened them. It was blurry, but slowly, I could open my eyes. I looked around the white room as the sterile repugnant stench hits my nostrils.I was at the hospital. A little close to the door Emmette stood close to a doctor as the muttered discreetly. They had not noticed me yet so I tried getting up. My movement were sluggish but I succeeded in straightening my back.I didn't even get a chance to breathe, Emmette strut towards me, pulling me into his embrace.He felt so warm, the good kind, so hugged him back. His hand grabbed a handful of my hair as he tightened his embrace and although I could not breathe, I felt safe in his arms. "Mr. Nash, be careful — you're going to hurt your wife," the doctor warned, strutting toward us. It was getting too tight, so I tapped Emmette’s back, signaling for him to let me go, but he only loosened his grip slightly

  • 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
