He staggered backward, letting go of the ledger as it dropped to the floor. He stumbled back and fell into Hatty's arms, who was too shocked and occupied with trying to hold Abel to react to me.

The moment Abel's weight became too much for her, she fell to her bum on the floor in horror, screaming and sobbing as she tried to touch Abel's head, which seemed to be bleeding.

I swallowed, nervous, but frantically kept my eyes on them. With my hand outstretched, the lamp still raised as a threa

  • Dear Ex Husband, I'll Make You Wish You Were Dead   232: smoke and fire

    MIMII shut the door behind me, bracing for the impact, but before I could leave the scene, a deafening explosion sent me flying across the room. Smoke and fire instantly filled the area where I'd landed, and I couldn't help but wonder if Kennedy had drenched the entire house in gasoline.I lifted myself up, coughing as I felt what seemed like burns across my skin, though thankfully, they weren't too bad. I staggered toward the stairs, the smoke seeping into my lungs as I ran upstairs, doing my best to avoid the flames surrounding me.My eyes burned when I finally managed to reach the corridor. It was hot—so hot it felt like I was being cooked alive. I felt like giving up until, somehow, I reached the end. I pulled out a chair and tried kicking the door down.Inside, I saw Corrie coughing, her body sprawled helplessly on the floor.This would have been the perfect time to leave her there to die.But I ran toward her anyway, coughing as I pulled her up and dragged her from the floor, g

  • Dear Ex Husband, I'll Make You Wish You Were Dead   230: Loyalty

    MIMILoyalty. There's something twisted about it. Devoting your time to a particular thing or person, hoping they'll return the same miserable gesture.My mother unmistakingly was loyal to who ever could feed her ego, and in the end left us as orphans after my step father killed her. I never liked that woman, not only because she forsake us for just a mere man but how loyal she stayed to one particular person or thing that never served her.So I always abide by a saying I learnt after her passing. I'm loyal to no other person than my self or in other words who ever was offering more.And in my case, my loyalty had shifted to Kennedy the moment I could have a little moment to myself and glance at the text he sent. I froze in shock when I saw it and almost got caught by Corrie.He was willing to void my money, if only I burnt down this entire Manor and kept Corrie alive. He sent me information at how he had Jerrycans of gasolines stacked at the basement and the moment I could get to the

    CORRIE It finally hit me. Not the thick soothe of dust, no but the immediate nostalgia with the little memories I had. From the beginning, I didn't even settle to think how this would affect me.After what felt close to two decades, I was back home and I tried my best not to cry. As unknown grief settled in me.This could have been my home, where Haven would have grown up running around with Emerald. It could have house so many happy families, happy memories. But no, Kennedy and Darla took that away from me."Corrie..." Hatty latched on to my free hand as I turned back to her. I wanted to hug her, break down and retreat to her comfort but I didn't have that time. I nodded, giving her a solid nod."Are you okay?" She asked. "I am." I said. "It's just my memories and the thought of what could have been... it's overwhelming.." I said and even though I didn't want to retreat into her arms she pulled me into a hug and I really needed that."It's okay..." She patted me. I was going to mak

    MIMITwenty minutes passed and it felt like we're no where close to where Hatty and Abel might be."Mimi..." Corrie stopped after knocking, I went right in front of her, knocking as well, letting out a dry hmm to answer her call."You didn't tell Kennedy we're here.." she said as I felt a bile rise in my throat, I was moments to coughing but that alone would have made me looked suspicious so I tried to stay calm. I was afraid of looking her in the eyes, afraid she'll see past me and read me like an open book. But I didn't really have a choice, if I didn't look at her, she'll be more suspicious of me."What?" I casually muttered, maybe too casual, maybe I should have been more confident with my reply. I clear my throat, pulling my gaze away from her and staring right back at her.More confident in my self, I resumed. "What are you talking about?" I asked."You can't believe Hatty is right, can you? Because she's your friend?" I added."It's not that, it's just that how else would Kenne

    MIMIMy eyes felt drowsy, only to widen at the sudden, sharp pang of pain in my stomach. I let out a groan and turned to my left, only to see Corrie standing at the edge of the car door, looking down at me.I immediately freaked out, sobering up as I crawled toward the farther end of the car.My heart raced as I looked down at my abdomen, holding my breath as I checked for any sign of a stab wound. There wasn't a single one. My stomach still hurt, but maybe it was because I'd skipped breakfast at Ethel's.I finally let out the breath I'd been holding in, relief washing over me. I looked over at Corrie, who seemed confused by my reaction. She wasn't holding anything that could serve as a weapon, so I relaxed a little more, my back scraping against the window until my butt touched the seat."Are you okay?" Corrie asked. I had a look around, scanning my surroundings. We were no longer on the road but I couldn't map out exactly where we were. All I could see was greens, from trees to bush

    SALEMMy hand pressed the truck shut as I watched Corrie and Hatty share a hug with her little sidekick by her side. I strutted over towards them, standing behind Corrie as Hatty babied her. Corrie was still under sedatives, and it was obvious Hatty found it easier to baby her since she felt guilty

I’d been moving back and forth between the lab and Corrie, running test after test, each one eating away at what was left of my sanity. I was a goddamn zombie, barely functioning, sustained only by caffeine pumping furiously through my
