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 Rendolf planted kisses from my neck to my chin and then to my lips as he intertwined his fingers with mine. I tried pushing him away, but he wouldn’t stop until I shoved him off me. I look over at Rendolf, a disappointed pout in his lips as I walked to get my phone from my purse. My heart raced when I saw Devon's name on the screen. The call fell through as I bit the tip of my finger nail. Why would he be calling me? Did he know about Rendolf? He couldn't, not now. The phone rings again and Devon's name displayed on the screen. My pale ghostly face only reflected the screen of my phone. "Answer it." Rendolf suggested. I turn to him with a frown on my face. "He could know about us." I whispered as if Devon was close by. "Or he could not and you're just giving me more reason to suspect you if that call falls through." The transition of my gaze from Rendolf to my screen was seamless. I immediately I slide the call to answer, shakily pressing the phone on my ear. "Hello." I mutter smoothly, even though I was far from calm. "Where are you?" Devon yelled, annoyance laced in his tone. "W-What do you mean?" I stutter turning to Rendolf, who swatted his hand up and down gently, mouthing 'calm down.' "We are supposed to meet Herod's teacher today. I'm in front of his school building and I don't see a fucking glimpse of you." Devon said as I let out my nervous breath. Though I was still in a tricky situation. "It's today?" I muttered coyly, my pitch octaves higher. "What do you mean it's today? You're the one who's been talking about it. Where the fuck are you?" Devon asked once again as I looked back at Rendolf for help. "You're shopping aren't you?" My heart almost stopped when Devon unexpectedly gave me an excuse. "I'm sorry baby. It's these new shoes that are on sale, I just had to have it." I explained, tears almost watering in my eyes. "Just get here as soon as possible." The call ends as immediately take in a deep breath. How could I be careless to forget about the P.T.A meeting today. "Don't tell me you're going." Rendolf smirked as I rolled my eyes at him. "I wouldn't have to go if your son was as smart as Devon." I clicked my tongue. Rendolf shrugged, his shoulder admitting defeat. "We can't be all be winners, if not for me you might have given Devon a daughter. I solidified your position as Devon's wife, don't forget that." Rendolf boasted letting his superiority complex peek through. I hated that and wished I could stop this but Rendolf had me wrapped around his finger. I'd given him everything, an apartment, a good position at Devon's company. This affair should have ended long ago but i'd be lying if I didn't admit to loving him or what he did for me. Rendolf was my secret, something Devon could not control so even if I wanted to leave I couldn't bring myself letting go of the only control I had. So maybe I did owe him everything. "How old is Herod anyway?" Rendolf brought out a cigarette while watching me quickly change into my light blue pant suit. "He just turned four, last month." And slowly he was beginning to morph into his father's semblance. ---- "What do you mean he needs a tutor?" I slapped my hand on the desk as Devon tried to pull me back from scratching out the teacher's eyes. Her eyes simmered with panic, her voice breaking as she tried to form a speech but only ended up letting out a guttural cough. Devon managed to gently belt me back to my seat as he retreat to his. "M-mrs Remington, Herod is special. He needs extra attention probably from a third party. A tutor would be best fit." Mrs Sullivan stuttered through, her face flushed in crimson. "My husband isn't the biggest donor of Pinnacle Prep academy for nothing. You teachers are just not doing your fucking jobs and blaming my son for being incompetent. If my Herod is so special why does he need a tutor?" I muttered as Mrs Sullivan went mute fiddling with her fingers. I scoffed watching her shake, I would demand for her to be fired soon enough. I and Devon left the office and got into his car. We both sat at the back seat, my arms folded as I peered my gaze at the window. "Where are the shoes that you bought?" My heart dropped at Devon's question. I calmed down, already an expert of his interrogations. "They're in my car. I'll show them to you when we get home." I said as his driver starts the car. "Let's find Haven another school. I'm tired of these low lives telling me my own son is incompetent." My head was still peered against the window. A hand grabbed my thigh, warm breath creeping at my neck. "Let's get Herod a tutor." I turned to Devon, he didn't look like he was joking. "All the schools are saying the same thing. If this is our way of helping Devon. Why don't we?" I hated why Devon had to make much sense. "Besides the school recommended Miss North. She only takes one student per session so we should book her as soon as possible. She'll make our Herod the brightest kid in Pinnacle Prep." I nodded my head at Devon's pep talk. "Alright then." I relaxed wrapping my hands around Devon as I closed my eyes. There was nothing to worry but I felt this sulken feeling, I thought it was because I was Instinctively worried about Herod. So I didn't think much about it. A week passed and that feeling grew even worse, not once subsiding. I was insomniac and harboring the worse fucking headache. "Devon, I think I need to see a doctor. I'm not feeling well." I said looking down at my fingers with Devon by my side. Miss North was at the gate and she wanted us to hold an interview with us. I didn't have time to think of how bashful it was because of how drained I've been. "After we see Miss North, I'll call Doctor Gabriel to come over." Devon touched my thigh warmly as a maid walks in with a woman with red stiletto heels behind her. A smile crept up my lips out of habit. The moment the maid moved past Miss North the smile and the light in my eyes crumbled. My eyes did a double take, my heart thumping as the woman held a black purse with both hands. A white shirt and a colbalt blue skirt. Devon rise from his seat, the color leaving his face. Which validates the feeling that this wasn't an Hallucination. "Good Afternoon Mr and Mrs Remington, I'm Miss North your son's new tutor." Her eyes sizes the both of us and with a smile on her lips she raised her shoulder. "But, you both can call me Corrie."DEVONbillionaire's wife, Corrie Nash. Everyone has the same question on their minds what is taking them so long? Is she really missing, or is this all part of a plot? A distraction, even, to flee with the late billionaire’s fortune—we have—"I switched off my phone and tossed it beside me, frustration boiling in my chest.I was parked outside my mother’s house. Not long ago, I had dropped Mimi off at her hotel, and without thinking, driven straight here. I needed air. Anything that could help me process what I had just agreed to.The deal I made with Mimi replayed over and over in my mind making Herod the heir. Now that I had a moment to truly think about it, I couldn’t help but slam my fist into the steering wheel. My breaths came short, my chest rising and falling as rage simmered beneath my skin. The whole arrangement felt like a trap. And worst of all—I had no idea who was helping her. Whoever it was, they were powerful enough to back her up and keep her protected. Because of the
MIMILa Cuillère Dorée.My head panned up at the big words written at the top of the restaurant. My hand held the door of my uber as I turned and slammed it shut. The driver scurried off having been paid as I looked back up at the dreaded sign.Those words held a lot of memories. Devon would merely utter them anytime he would asked to meet. This was where I had met Devon, this was where we met adjacent, to our numerous affairs. This was where Corrie gained knowledge of our affair, this was where Devon had proposed. All exciting memories. But this was also where Devon had chose to humiliate me, the time I brought the family together to celebrate getting a permit to emerald palace. Where he would bring a few random girls behind my back, even when we had double dates. It was the same share of humiliation.This was our special place, our haven in which he turned rotten. And now, I stand behind the building just because Devon had requested to see me. The thought of it left a bitter taste
HATTY I stepped out into the lobby of the pharmaceutical, and suddenly, I got a strange feeling."Officers," I muttered aloud, getting each and every one of their attention."What brings you to my pharmaceutical? Perhaps you need my assistance with an investigation," I added gleefully, knowing damn well they would've gone to a hospital if that were the case.One of them stepped forward. He was clearly in charge. He approached with his hands in his pockets, then pulled out his phone, fingers scraping across the screen. He finally paused and panned the screen toward me, an image of Salem blaring at my face."This man, do you know who he is?"My hands scratch my chin. "He seems familiar. You know," I slurred tilting my eyes back at the image and back at the officer. "A lot of people come to the pharmacy." I explained hopefully in a way that wasn't telling the truth and a lie."I see." The officer nodded retracting his phone. As he gives a nod to his fellow comrades."You're aware of wha
HATTYI was so tired, exhaustion was a fucking understatement. I’d been moving back and forth between the lab and Corrie, running test after test, each one eating away at what was left of my sanity. I was a goddamn zombie, barely functioning, sustained only by caffeine pumping furiously through my veins.I had no idea how long I’d been holed up in this laboratory. Time had blurred. Day and night meant nothing. And despite all the hours and effort, I still hadn’t gotten a single lead on the drug. Each day that passed, the same terrifying thought clawed its way back into my mind: Corrie might not even be alive. She could already be dead, and the equipment I’d hooked her up to was just keeping her body warm, nothing more.Her brain showed barely any activity, no signals, not even the faintest wave. I’d started to assume the drug had rendered her brain-dead. But what kind of drug was so powerful, so devastating… and yet so unknown?I stared down at my research. I was this close to sweepin
SALEM"You look familiar." The bartender behind the desk called my attention as she slids me a tray of Château Margaux 2009 across the counter.I didn't panic, There was no need but I was surprised that someone could finally see through my disguise. I literally looked like a different person and somehow, she could see through it. The receptionist held her phone in her grasp as she looked at the her phone and back at me.Once. Twice. A third time. My pulse stayed steady, but my hand inched subtly toward my apron. My fingers brushed against the cool metal of the gun tucked inside. Just in case."You look like that famous singer Austin katral." She muttered panning the uncanny resemblance of my disguise. I chuckled, retracting away my hand from the reach of my gun. I shut my eye, a wide smile spread across my lips."I get that all the time." I said, the lie smooth on my tongue. And I was definitely going to kill Abbel later—for choosing a disguise that made me look exactly like a famous
DEVONMy hands were tied behind my back. All I could do was struggle as detectives came in one by one, not a single one conducting an actual investigation. They all have went through a couple documents, filled my name and laughed about probably anything that wasn't in line with my case. Soon, they all left, my hands still handcuffed. The door open wide and I was ready to lash at the person coming right through it.My head tilt up and suddenly my chest seem to fall as my eyes widened. My mother walked in, her face etched in disgust. She trailed towards the chair opposite me as she dropped her hand bag on the table. I watched her sit down, her face cold and devoid of emotion. Her face was swollen, her eyes red as trace of tears formed dark circles round her eyes.Shame flushed my face crimson, I nestled my back to the hard feeling of the chair. My face fell, I couldn't just look at her. The pain and defeat, a tapestry blankly printed on her face.It didn't take a genius to tell me that
