CORRIE

"I can't believe Whitney expects us to do her job." Sophia groaned outloud.

"I know right? She's the head teacher for a reason." Julia groaned as well, plopping back into the couch.

They were both my co workers and the two of them were the only ones I could talk with. Ever since my visit from the hospital, it became the new normal to hang out with them.

I invited them over to Emmette's condo. Ever since they decided to take my side.

Whitney probably saw this as an opportunity to punish them, with me Included. It was obvious but head teachers, head mistress handing you work was treated as a norm. So even reporting this wouldn't even be advisable.

"Corrie..." I hummed at Julia's call.

"You just got back from the hospital. You don't have to do anything." She muttered in concern. I tore my gaze away from the paperwork and towards her.

"That will be unfair to you guys. I'm fine." I revert my eyes back to my paper work and I didn't have to look back at them to see the concern bre

  • Dear Ex Husband, I'll Make You Wish You Were Dead   124: You're hired

    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

  • Dear Ex Husband, I'll Make You Wish You Were Dead   122: I swear on my brother's grave

    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?

  • Dear Ex Husband, I'll Make You Wish You Were Dead   121: Tears of joy

    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

  • Dear Ex Husband, I'll Make You Wish You Were Dead   119: Picture perfect

    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
