CORRIE

The cool evening breeze brushed against me, scattering my hair across my face and leaving a chill that settled deep in my bones. I held a bouquet of roses, lowering myself slowly before placing it gently ontop Haven’s grave.

My gaze lingered on the dates etched into the stone. He had only been four years old when he was murdered.

My body trembled where I knelt as I felt Emmette step quietly beside me. I lifted myself up and tilted my head down, fighting to keep the tears from spilling.

  • Dear Ex Husband, I'll Make You Wish You Were Dead   225: Leverage

    EMMETTE His steps thundered as he approached me and I braced myself for another set of his psychopath kicks. I waited, and waited but he hadn't done anything."I'll give you one thing Emmette. You're smart, intelligent and maybe that's why father preferred you more than his own flesh and blood. I mean I shouldn't even be wasting my time with you.""Maybe if I went after your daughter, you would have sang like a fucking canary. If only I knew where the fuck she was..." I heave a sigh of relief. Emery was okay, it was like I knew it was best to pull her out of school the moment I met with Kennedy. At least she's safe from this sadistic bastard. My men and her nannies keeping her safe."I almost feel bad for killing your mother..." I slowly tilt my head up at him. "Not that you would care but maybe I could have used her to get something out of you." He added like a trigger, like he was throwing bone to a dog, a bait to a catch. And somehow I hope he was lying, playing mindgames but some

  • Dear Ex Husband, I'll Make You Wish You Were Dead   224: you haven't changed

    EMMETTE I heard footsteps, hollow but seemingly close. My hands are tied behind my back. So were my legs as I rolled agonisingly on the floor since my eyes were blindfolded. I was dehydrated, battling a massive headache and the last thing I remember was a having a conversation with Kennedy. I had no idea what we talked about or how it led to me being tied up. But one thing was sure, I was drugged, knocked out and dragged to where ever the hell I now resided.My ear pressed against the wooden tiled floor, the sound of steps pounding, getting louder until they finally stopped. Locks clicked, knobs twists and doors slammed wide open. A crack of light spills across my blind as if mocking my inability to see.I couldn't see, but depending on my other senses. Other than me, there were others standing in the doorway. And if I could guess, Kennedy had to be in the crowd. "You're awake." He confirmed, his steps thundering a bit forward. He snaps his fingers curtly as I heard steps rumbled f

  • Dear Ex Husband, I'll Make You Wish You Were Dead   223: No game

    MIMII take a deep breath before submerging myself fully below the body of water. Wishing my worries would be nothing but washed away. My eyes paled open, it was blurry as I held my breath. Before I could come out of the water, a pair of hands dove in, encircling my neck and holding me down until they knocked the little air I'd managed to hold in. I aggressively inhaled the water, choking as I struggled. I tried to rise, kicking my legs above the surface of the water, but they held me firmly in place, to the point where I was sure my face had turned blue.If I could breathe, if I could talk, I would have asked for the reason. Why were they doing this? Or at least pleaded for my life. I struggled to make out who was doing this, and all I could see was a familiar locs of golden hair swaying over me, accompanied by a hint of a grin.“Mimi…” I heard my name as the water thundered around me.“Mimi…” I heard it again, and it felt like whoever was choking me was sickeningly calling out to m

  • Dear Ex Husband, I'll Make You Wish You Were Dead   222: You've lost

    KENNEDY Irene flashes the key card, twisting the doorknob and unblocking the door. My ears picked up the sound of muffled moans that made my skin crawl. I looked over to Irene who was as bothered as me. But either way I stepped forward, the voices getting louder as I approached them. What a sight to behold.There was Arielle at the bottom as one old geezer proceeds to ride her, getting out deep guttural sounds as he did. So the rumours were likely true about Arielle Nash, selling her body to get by. In someway it was pitiful, she didn't seem to enjoy it as she stared into the farthest corner of the room.Soon, her eyes dragged across and lands on me. She tried pushing the geezer off her but he pinned her by the shoulders aggressively still unaware of the third party in the room. I walked towards them, tapping him gently till he finally noticed me and staggered away from her in shock. Arielle pulled up the covers to hide herself as the old bastard got down and tried to flee but was s

  • Dear Ex Husband, I'll Make You Wish You Were Dead   221: Eerie

    KENNEDY Thomas wobbled by my side as I tried to assist him over to the couch right in front of me. I gently put him down but that didn't help either way as he slumped, passed out on the couch.I looked at him, my hands in my pocket as I recalled how he practically lost the thirty five million I gave to him to gambling. We've been at the casino since the dusk of night and he kept betting thinking he would win everything back. At least I had a bit of leverage on him but either way it wasn't even my money.I found it lying next to Melanie's dead body and assumed it was be a nice bonding gift with Lilly's father. I'd just ask him for a bit of interest, maybe use the auditorium as collateral. "Hangover tea.." Lilly's mother brought a tray of two bowl sized cups as steam erupt from the two. I waved my palm at her as we both looked at her husband.Her husband would be needing both of those tea since he was drunk to stupor.She goes to put the tray on a table in the middle of the living roo

  • Dear Ex Husband, I'll Make You Wish You Were Dead   220: Not trustworthy

    MIMI "I'll think about it." I reject Corrie's hand that she extended over to me and get up myself. She didn't look surprised, neither hurt, like she expected it. She pulls her hand back."Alright." She looked to Abel behind her. "Take your time." She said, walking away from me without as much giving me a second look. My hands fall to my side as they ball into a fist as I thought about my next move.There was no way that I was going to turn myself in for something I did five years ago just to soothe that bitch's ego. It felt like admitting defeat. Why can't she just let go?"Do you want Kennedy to find out our location?" I recalled, Hatty's accusation back at the helicopter.I felt my burner phone back in my pockets. I would use that to call Kennedy tonight and strike a deal with him.A deal for him to void my money for info on Corrie's whereabouts.Soon, it was late at night but I couldn't tell how late. Ethel and Milly went up to their rooms to sleep. They couldn't even have the de

  • Dear Ex Husband, I'll Make You Wish You Were Dead   116: I made a mistake

    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

    CORRIE "Why are you doing this?" I asked, but she only smirked."Since there are none," Abigail hissed, completely ignoring me. "I have to tell you that if you try to make a scene or even attempt to escape, my men won't hesitate to discipline either of you. So be careful, and think wisely." I nodd

    CORRIE I was in a tunnel, water pooling up to my knees. It hadn’t been that deep when I first stepped in, but the farther I went, the higher it seemed to rise.Where was I? I had no idea.Where was I going? I couldn’t say.The only thing pushing me forward was curiosity, maybe a little bit of hope
