CORRIE

I opened the door, my heart raced.

"Oh God." I hissed, someone was really in my house. Did they have a spare key or they picked my lock? I was going to figure that out.

I quietly shut the door behind me and bolted it. Slipping off my shoes, I placed them to the side along with my bag. Tiptoeing toward the kitchen, sweat trickled down my face as I reached for a knife.

The lights flicked on, and I spun around, knife in hand, only to come face to face with a familiar figure wearing a cocky

    CORRIE SIX YEARS LATER"It's been years huh..." I watched as Hatty smiled at me. "Four years to be exact. You don't even come to visit." She said."I know... it's hard you know. Things just got busy." I said."Alright then fill me on what's new." Hatty asked."Well remember how I adopted both Herod and Benjamin. Benjamin is adjusting quite well. Obviously he will. He was a baby when I and Emmette adopted him." I said as Hatty nodded."Remember when Mimi thought you'd abuse them. Even Amelia their grandmother didn't want you to have them." Hatty said."That was hell. I'm glad I got them in the end. It's the least I could do after taking both their parents away from them." I said."You only killed Devon and if you didn't who knows how those boys would have turned out. I'm impressed Emmette is on board with that I mean I could never raise a child that wasn't mine..." Hatty said as she was right. Devon gave up on Herod just because he wasn't his. But Emmette has been patient and attenti

  • Dear Ex Husband, I'll Make You Wish You Were Dead   246: In the end

    KENNEDY I stared patiently at my screen, watching Irene's name flash across it. This was the fifth time I was calling her. Her name would disappear like the last five times as I stared at my phone, my grip tighten against it.How hard can it be to deal with a small frail woman? Irene was small as well but she had a little bit of muscle mass on her.I put my phone away. She was the least of my problems. I needed to get to Emmette first and kill him. The moment my men drive me home I'll order for his execution. Maybe I could have salvaged him and forced Corrie in a way to repair my reputation but nothing was saving me now. I didn't know how much time I had before Greg, the chief commissioner of the police didn't have any choice than to come after me.Soon enough, I get home as my men drive me in and I pull out my phone and call the men I'd left in Emmette's care. Strangely just like Irene they wouldn't answer my call. Maybe they were busy. I walked in, four men by my side, armed as th

  • Dear Ex Husband, I'll Make You Wish You Were Dead   245: See you in hell

    CORRIE With all my strength, I turned the gun over to her and with a sudden stroke of luck I heard loud shot of the gun as I vibrated under the touch of the gun. Irene's hand went cold as the gun dropped her and her eyes slowly dimmed of life right in front of me.I paced my breath, heaving a sigh of relief. If I didn't turn the gun..I would have died. A sudden pang of guilt hit me but I couldn't react. I immediately reached for the gun, calibrating it just like Salem had taught me.I looked over at Abel. A few of Kennedy's men still approaching him.My hand point at one as I pulled the trigger and one dropped to the floor, then a second and then a third. A few still surrounded them but Abel flicked a nod at me."It's okay..." He said. "Go get Kennedy." He said as I nodded, First pulling out my butter knife and ripping my dress short to the point my thighs were in display. I squeezed through an aisle of chairs till I reached the end of the hall and ran over to the other exit where I

    CORRIE"Where exactly are you going?" She asked pulling me back, a silent warning for me not to leave their sight and so I stayed in place."Suprised Mimi?" Hatty muttered walking over to her alongside with Abel."H-Howw?" Although Mimi was barely audible, her question was clear."Maybe you should have waited for us to burn to ash before you left us to die?" Hatty muttered, standing a few steps away from Mimi.Vivienne's head turn to Mimi."What the hell are they talking about Mimi?" Mimi froze, her body shaking, her head barely turning to meet Vivienne."Let me fill you in." Hatty took over the question. "This woman here," she points at Mimi. "She locked us inside one of the rooms in Goodwin Manor just after we found the exact ledgers you are talking about. And lit it on fire and left us for dead." Hatty explained as the room got louder."Mimi," Vivienne muttered. "Is this true?" Mimi nodded, turned round to face the stage and locked eyes with Kennedy."Yes. He made me do it. The m

    CORRIE "H-hi" my voice cracked, the nervousness setting in."It's nice seeing all your wonderful faces.." was that too muchly."Ummh thanks to everyone who could make it here today in such a short notice..." My eyes searched the audience, their face unfamiliar, their expression unforboding."I used to be a teacher you know, I don't really understand why I'm so nervous. You'd think after teaching kindergardeners for years, you'd be able to face any circumstances that comes your way." Nobody seemed amused. Coincidentally, my eyes land on Penny who flashed both her thumbs at me in support. I cover the microphone with my hand and let out a slow breath.I removed my hand my expression different."Two weeks ago, my husband was murdered. I may not look it but I am still in shock. I can't believe that I'm standing here right before you talking about it. It honestly feels unreal." I paused my breath quaking, a few head shake in agreement, their face morphing into pity for me."And you know wh

    CORRIE Before I could open my mouth, fortunately, I can't believe I said that. Devon came to my rescue."My lady?" He extends his arm over to me, all eyes still panning to us. I looked over to Kennedy as he nods and I sigh internally, taking his empty arm, wrapping my hands around it as he led me out of the swarms of paparazzi and into the hall.The moment we entered I felt like I could breathe, there were still cameras inside but they weren't as aggressive as the one outside. Every single person here was painstakingly picked out by Kennedy, I mean most of them.I looked over to Devon, realising we still locked hands. My mouth opened to tell him to buzz off but Kennedy walked past us with Irene as his date, his presence as if warning me not to even think about it. "I didn't think we'd match. Me must share the same brain cell huh." Devon muttered as I smiled curtly. I nod walking as he paces right next to me. Talking about our wedding preparations. I zoned out for a bit, numb to his

    MIMIIt feels like eyes are watching my every move. Every time I turned back I'll meet the same doctor and nurse that would just simply stare at my paranoid self. I resumed walking down the hall and the moment I saw the exit I knew it was going to be hell.For once I was grateful for Emmette for hi

Stop worrying, for goodness’ sake," I hissed before hanging up, cutting him off before he could say anything else.The moment t

    EMMETTE My eyes swept the room as my employees filed into the spacious living room one by one. They all lined up, murmuring under their breaths until Abel was the last to approach me, giving a slight nod to indicate that everyone was present.I cleared my throat, my gaze moving across the entire r

    EMMETTE "Sister?" Corrie squints, trying to recall any small bit of memory. "I don't have a brother," Corrie tells him, still in a state of confusion, before briefly looking at me and turning her attention back to him. "Oh, there's an explanation for that. We share the same father but different
