CORRIE

I didn't like the idea of leaving Mimi alone with Emmette. I trust Emmette but I don't trust Mimi one bit and slowly regret cuts me with each strike of guilt.

Emery's hand was in mine as she happily jumped up and down humming a tune. Her grandmother was holding her other hand as we tried to keep her safe.

"Corrie." Arielle called out to me, pulling me out of my train of thought.

"Hmm" I muttered.

"How old are you?" She asked. It wasn't odd that she wanted to know my age but it was quite abrupt.

"I'll be 29 this year." I answered, not thinking too much of it.

"Wow, you're still very young and you even look younger than your age. I thought you were twenty five." I could clearly tell the flattery in her tone, I smiled at her, giving her a small nod.

"Grandma, I'm four years old." Emery chipped in her cute voice. Arielle smiled at her, nodding at Emery's words.

"I know darling." She answered turning her attention to me.

"Do you have any relatives Corrie?" She asked and again I fel

    SIX MONTHS LATER......CORRIE"It's been a while," Kennedy muttered from the other end of the table. I sheepishly nodded, agreeing with his words. The past few months since Salem's funeral have been difficult. I've been stalked and harassed by the media, I resigned from teaching, and I can't keep a job because I'm either harassed by reporters or by stans who are convinced that I used dark magic on their fucking heartthrob, Emmette Nash. They blame me for reducing him to what he has become, and ever since I married him, I've brought nothing but doom to his life. They also won't fail to mention my previous marriage with Devon Remington, even though I barely remember anything about him.It feels like I'm being gaslit. I don't know who to turn to, and it boils my blood that everyone keeps pestering me about Emmette.I couldn't even trust Kennedy at first, but after a DNA test that he insisted on, we slowly started having this ritual of sharing a meal from time to time. Although I don't re

  • Dear Ex Husband, I'll Make You Wish You Were Dead   123: Alter the Results

    MIMI "No." My throat dried up as my body trembled at the revelation. My hand clapsed against against my mouth as I scurried over to the doctor, past the desk and right towards him as I went on my knees."D-doctor." I clapped both of my hands together. "There must have been a mistake right? This can't be true." I stammered my lips trembling all the way. I grabbed a fistful of his coat, shaking under him like a leaf.“Please, run the test again. There has to be a mistake somewhere, I know it,” I said, my voice trembling as I glanced around the room, wondering where Devon must be by now.The doctor sighed softly before kneeling down so our eyes met. His gaze was calm, almost pitying. Then, with gentle hands, he held my arms and slowly lifted both of us to our feet, steadying me as though I might collapse at any moment."There is no mistake Mrs Remington. Those are the results." The doctor's sharp reply solidified my fate.Why did this keep happening to me? Was I cursed never to bear Dev

    MIMIThe moment I got home, I quickly go to find Devon in the living room watching the Television along side with Herod who seemed to be bored out of his mind, sitting next to him.The moment Herod noticed my presence he quickly ran towards me to hug me as I give him just a little pat and slightly moving out of the way. I walked towards Devon, and perched right in front of him with my hands on my waist, blocking him from watching whatever was on at the moment."Would you move?" He hissed trailing his gaze to my face to see the wide smile on my face "Why are you smiling? What happened? Did you kill someone?" He stood up almost immediately, trailing towards me and I swiftly grabbed both his palms, squeezing it in excitement, pulling him into me."Guess." I teased as I watched his eyes darken."Don't tell me it was Vivienne, what the fuck is wrong with you Mimi?""I'm pregnant." I squealed watching confusion etching on his face which slowly transitioned into a panicked stare."Pregnant?

    MIMI “Are you hearing yourself?” I snapped, stepping away from Devon, my bouquet clutched tightly in my hand. “Do you really think Corrie is telling the truth?”My voice rang out louder than I meant it to. “That woman has been spouting nonsense ever since the overdose of sedatives she was on. You know that.” I added, clinging to the version of events I’d told the police.Vivienne didn’t flinch. “And weren’t you sedated as well?” she countered as I shrunk back. “Why should we believe your story over hers? Just because she was given more sedatives doesn’t mean her words should be dismissed.”Her tone was calm, too calm and it made me realise I was the only one screaming at this point.It was infuriating. I won. And yet, even in Corrie's absence, her name still managed to haunt me. I let go of the bouquet as it fell out of my graps. "Are you trying to say our authorities are incompetent." I said as Vivienne's eyes widened."Are you saying they're spewing lies and tried to cover the tru

  • Dear Ex Husband, I'll Make You Wish You Were Dead   120: Does that matter

    MIMII turned at the sound of Vivienne’s voice. She wore a green flowing gown almost identical to mine. Except hers was tighter, shorter, and far a more revealing alternative of my dress. Her eyes flicked from her dress to mine, and a cunning smile curved her lips.“We’re wearing almost the same thing,” she said, just as the cameras around us shifted focus to me, clearly waiting for a reaction.I didn’t have proof, but I knew she’d done this on purpose. If I snapped, I’d be branded immature, while she’d play the innocent victim who “accidentally” wore something similar.“We are,” I replied smoothly, forcing a gleeful smile. “You look gorgeous, Vivienne. Though… isn’t it a bit too short? I did say the theme was royal ball.”She nodded, pretending to take responsibility.“My actual dress got ripped on my way here,” she said, putting on her best innocent act. “So my assistant brought me a backup. I was already anxious about it being too short, but now I feel like I’ve upstaged the bride

    MIMI"Happy birthday, dear," Devon belated, his tone smooth but distant. From the corner of my eye, I caught the glint of a small green box in his hand an emerald one that fit neatly into his palm. I rolled my eyes to the side but quickly plastered on my brightest smile."Awwn, honey," I gasped, turning fully toward him. "You shouldn’t have."Truly, he shouldn’t have.Especially if this was what I thought it was. Without even opening the box, I already knew. Inside would be that overhyped, bedazzled emerald hairpin every other woman had flaunted last season. The same one that matched my emerald ball gown. Predictable.Almost every woman had raved about it, and now here it was, in my hand. So last season and yet, Devon thought this was thoughtful. Meanwhile, I’d made it very clear how much I adored the rare sapphire jewelry set. Only two women owned it.Lilly's mother and the president’s daughter. And to make matters worse, rumors were swirling that Corrie had once been offered the sam
