CORRIE

Is it possible to forget the feelings of love you once cherished for someone special?

Is it possible to recall the happiest moment with them and not even feel an atom of the love you once had for them?

It's hazy, it's confusing, as I watched Salem chop down lettuce on the chopping board.

My mind tells me I'm supposed to love him, I'm supposed to be drawn to him, but my heart tells me something is off, like he isn't the one.

Maybe it's the amnesia playing mind games on me.

And there it was, a pang of guilt, gutted to the depth of my stomach.

My brows furrowed and I panned my attention back to Salem.

I stared at Salem so hard, my gaze must have been burning at his face.

He noticed, gave me a little chuckle as he carried the board and knife over to the pot, straining the lettuce in and oddly using the knife to stir the pot like it was normal, while his other hand held the wooden board.

"Want a taste?" Salem offered, peering at the knife that was slick with the stew he'd been cooki

  • Dear Ex Husband, I'll Make You Wish You Were Dead   103: A game?

    MIMII needed to see it with my own eyes.After what Abigail said, I had to confirm it for myself. I didn’t even wait for my dinner date with Devon to end. Instead, I picked up my purse, leaned in to give him a goodbye kiss, and muttered the excuse that I needed to see the Ferry for myself.It wasn’t a complete lie.Abigail had her little setup hidden away in one of the Ferry’s compartments.But still, as I walked, a sharp unease gnawed at me.Was this just another one of Abigail’s clever schemes to get rid of me?The thought too wasn’t far-fetched. I should have made an excuse, slipped out, and never looked back. But I didn’t. I kept walking.I strolled down the seemingly endless hallway with Abigail at my side, her men trailing like behind. The walk stretched on, each step heavier than the last, until we finally stopped at one of the Ferry’s doors. From the inside, the door creaked open. Abigail gave a subtle gesture, urging me to enter first. I stepped in, and she followed, her men

  • Dear Ex Husband, I'll Make You Wish You Were Dead   102: Anniversary of the century

    MIMIMy heart plummeted to my stomach. My eyes widened as she leaned back casually, draped in a red, silky halter dress that exposed more than it concealed. My gaze trace from the curve of her bodice to the daring open back, and down to the hemline that was so scandalously short I bet she’d struggle to tug it past the middle of her thigh.I recalled Abigail's text, the same text that made me overreact in the rest room. And I looked down at her dress. Was she trying to seduce my husband to make him consider the merge?She got up almost immediately and pulled me into a cold hug that made my skin crawl. I barely wrapped my hands around her but patted her on the back just because of the eyes around us. Our eyes clashed and the animosity for each other was clear."What a pleasant surprise, Abigail. I didn’t imagine running into you here." I broke eye contact as she threw her head back in that insufferable, grating cackle of hers."What are you doing here—and in my seat?" I demanded.Abigai

    MIMIMy mouth moves quietly as I spot Devon across the table irritated. I looked down at his plate. We ordered the same thing so there isn't a reason he should be displeased."The food not to your liking, dear?" I muttered borely, slipping a spoon into my mouth as his glare shifted toward me. He hesitated for a moment, eyes scanning the room before finally parting his lips."Didn’t I ask for the entire restaurant to be rented out?" he said, irritation threading through his tone."You did," I replied, setting my spoon down and lifting my glass of wine. I took a slow sip before placing it back on the table. "But I called and made a few rearrangements."Devon let out a bitter tsk, his gaze wandering as he scoffed. "And why would you do that?""Because we need the public to see us as a united front," I answered, locking eyes with him. "No one’s going to believe we’re madly in love if we’re never seen out together."He started, "But of all the—""Smile more, will you, dear?" I cut in, watc

    SALEM"What do you mean, shit? What happened?" Corrie pressed, her voice rising.Good question. This wasn’t supposed to happen. How did they find us? Could it have been Doctor Jared? No—then Hatty crossed my mind. It had her written all over it. She must have reported us to the authorities. But the people after us… they didn’t look like authorities at all.I reached towards the glove box with two fake ID's, two passports and a few wad of cash. The moment I closed the glove box, a sudden crash jolted the car as something slammed into us from behind. My body lurched forward, the seatbelt snapping tight against my chest, and Corrie's scream cut through the chaos. My right hand flew back to the steering wheel, gripping it hard as I fought to steady the car.My eyes flicked to the wing mirror.Two cars were tailing us, their headlights glaring like predators on the hunt. I pressed harder on the accelerator, but it barely made a difference. They stayed on me, closing in, deliberately rammi

  • Dear Ex Husband, I'll Make You Wish You Were Dead   099: You just made a friend

    SALEM My hand latched onto Corrie’s as I guided her toward the club. I spun my head over my shoulder, sneaking a peek at her. Even in the dim light, the flush on her cheeks was visible—the only color on her beautiful face.She was awkward and shy, yet curious. If she had looked just a bit uncomfortable or irritated, I might have paused and taken her home. But she didn’t. She looked just as beautiful as the first time I met her.The club music blared in the background, the room was drenched in darkness with flashes of red and blue light flickering across the crowd. I pulled her onto the dance floor, into the midst of bodies moving in rhythm.A few girls shimmied their way up to Corrie, they were grinding their ass against her, and from the look of it, they were fucking wasted. The flashing lights didn't have to inform me about Corrie's uneasy expression.Her body stiffened, she had no idea how to respond. I stepped in before the awkwardness swallowed her whole, sliding a steady hand a
