MIMI

I hated it—the mocking laughter that filled the air, the lingering looks of disgust. Every scoff, every muffled whisper grated on me like nails on a chalkboard. It irritated me, clawed at my nerves. I knelt before Amelia and Lilly, feeling completely excluded, like I wasn’t one of them—even though, legally, I was still a Remington. But it didn’t feel that way. It felt like day one all over again, when the two of them would go to any length, commit any cruelty, just to make me look bad in front of Devon. And despite everything they did, I stood my ground—until I married into the family, until we all shared a common enemy. And now? Just because I made a mistake—no, just because I got caught—they treat me like I’m nothing, like I’m the dirt beneath their shoes.

Another laughter erupted from the two, I still perched my knees to the floor. My head bowed down in respect. Even though I couldn't see it, I could feel Amelia's stare on me, and the silence in the room confirmed it. They had

  • Dear Ex Husband, I'll Make You Wish You Were Dead   080: Even from the grave

    SALEMMy hands dug in my pockets as I leaned against the frame of the wall next to the door of the room Corrie was in. I had my earphones plugged in as I listened to the news."A nurse was found dead, in place of the recently deceased Emmette Nash's wife. The nurse laid in her bed in what appears to be a staged swap. Authorities now suspect she was kidnapped by her supposed lover. It was said that Mrs Nash had slumped into a coma on the day of her husband's death and now kidnapped? Hell knows what he plans to do with her and we hope before anything happens. The police will intervene—” The door opens as Hatty walks out, holding eye contact with me as she dragged the door shut.I took off the ear buds and shoved them in my pocket as she straightened her back. Her expression dropped, and the worry that consumed her face made my pulse spike with panic.“I’ve already set her up on an IV. She’s breathing, but it’s faint,” she said, concern tightening her voice. “What happened?”I didn’t ha

  • Dear Ex Husband, I'll Make You Wish You Were Dead   079: CORRIE NASH MISSING

    MIMIA soft chuckle escaped my lips as I thought about last night. How Benjamin had fucked me until we both passed out. Oddly enough, Lilly’s miscarriage turned out to be useful after all; it brought Benjamin and me together. This wasn’t what I had expected, but if I played my part right, I could seduce Benjamin into taking me as his mistress. Maybe even convince him to divorce Lilly—assuming he hadn’t already decided to, after the night we shared.I didn’t need to be cocky, but let’s be honest, there are two ways to a man’s heart. Hot, messy sex and food. Good fucking food.The moment I woke up, I went straight to the kitchen. Since there was practically nothing in it, I rushed to a mart nearby and bought all the ingredients I needed to cook Benjamin’s favorite meal. Thanks to Lilly’s endless blabbering, I knew exactly what to prepare. By the time I returned, I had everything I needed to put together a full-course meal.I was almost done, and any moment now, Benjamin would wake up—g

  • Dear Ex Husband, I'll Make You Wish You Were Dead   078: The anonymous

    SALEMThree days had passed since the tragic death of Emmette Nash. If I wasn't already anxious on how I was going to break the news to Corrie, she hasn't even opened her eyes since Emmette's arrest.It was like she had slipped into a coma and the most annoying part was all the doctors were saying the same thing."There seem to be nothing wrong with her." Each doctor I sorted, would mutter as their words rang in my head in unison."There wasn't any sign of head injuries, stroke, infections, and metabolic disorders," they would add. "She'll wake up," they'd give me false hope."She did go into shock before passing out." Each reminder felt like a dig at my conscience. That this was my doing, if only I hadn't attacked Emmette that day. Maybe she would have been awake by now, in my arms, safe and happy. But then again I can't help but have doubts, not only did I selfishly want no part in causing Corrie's predicament. This—didn't feel normal, every second Corrie was Comparingly getting p

  • Dear Ex Husband, I'll Make You Wish You Were Dead   077: A night at the condo

    MIMIMy eyes darted across the room, eyeing Benjamin as I watched him talk to the doctor. He was tense, I couldn't tell if it was because of his mother's scolding—before she left disappointed—or the knowledge that Lilly wasn't pregnant for his child. Or it could be both.Either way, I felt glad, I wasn't the only one in this twisted pickle.The doctor walked away from Benjamin and already I could tell from his stance, his bank hunched in defeat. His palm slowly clenched to a fist. In the spur of the moment, he turned to the wall and with a full force, he striked it. He struck it so hard, I could hear the impact — of skin tearing, knuckles cracking accompanied with a sullen grunt.I was conflicted, thrashed between going over to comfort him or waiting for him to approach me.Benjamin must have been reading my mind. He slightly tilted his neck to my direction—that was my queue—to approach him. I thin my lips into a line biting back the urge to crack a grin, my purse nestled in hand as I

    MIMI"Get out of my sight. Carry your bastard son and leave." Amelia ordered, and I could not help but panic. This wasn't how things were supposed to be.I rose to my knees and watched as Lilly linked arms with Amelia. A big smile appeared on her face as she rubbed her stomach."Let's go, Mother. The baby in my stomach is hungry," Lilly said."Of course, dear," Amelia replied calmly to Lilly, unlike the harsh tone she used to berate me just now.She committed suicide. I met with the parents and we agreed that she would be pronounced murdered. At that instant, I recalled Abigail's words."What about Lilly's shame?" I questioned, standing up on my feet as I faced a confused Amelia and an irritated Lilly."What are you spouting now? Mother, let's go before the baby in my stomach gets upse—""Did Emmette really murder Sarah, or did Sarah commit suicide and were you and Benjamin too ashamed to announce it, so you framed Emmette Nash as a murderer?" I said as Lilly's face turned white, whil
