Semua Bab Dear Ex Husband, I'll Make You Wish You Were Dead: Bab 21 - Bab 30

CORRIE Devon's face shifted in confusion, seemingly to him I just spoke gibberish. He steps back a bit, trying to process my words. "You can't, can you?" I clicked my tongue at him. So he could leave me for her but he couldn't give her the same fate. "C-Corrie.." he stuttered, his hands running through his hair. I rolled my eyes at him heading for the door. He stood in front of me, preventing me from leaving. "You've made your decision, move." I hissed as he shook his head. "I can't leave her, we have a son together. He's four. I can't just abandon them because of a mistake we made." So now it was a mistake to him? "We had a son too." My voice breaks as I spoke. "He was four also. You got her pregnant and left Haven and I. So? What are you trying to say? I deserve what you put me through? I and my son weren't worth it?" I raised my voice at Devon, I felt vulnerable as his hands reached to comfort me. I slapped his hands away from me, I would never let him patch me back togethe

CORRIEMy heart raced, this could not be happening. The police officer looked to Mimi, unaware of what he should do, she looked just as confused with Salem pushing his hands towards the officer's face."Officer, he's just covering for her. Arrest this woman and lock her up." Mimi finally spoke."I'm not covering for her, the drugs are mine." Salem spoke up."And why should we believe you? It was found in my son's bag. Are you saying you were the one who snuck it in there?" Mimi muttered as Salem walked towards her, his jaw clenched in rage."You want a victim don't you? It's either you cuff me up or I'm not letting anyone take her." Salem muttered in a low tone, the officer unhooked the handcuffs as he proceeded to cuff Salem.My eyes slowly well up in tears, my hands clung tightly to Salem.I shook my head slowly, my throat burning but all he could do was flash a smile at me."It's okay. I'll be back before you know it." He claimed as the officer walked him right out my door. Mimi fo

CORRIESince I agreed to the contract marriage, I didn't want a second big wedding. I had a big wedding once and I it meant nothing because I had to slave the entire years of my marriage with Devon. It was my punishment from Amelia for trying to upstage Lilly who also had a big wedding as well.Emmette and I settled for a court wedding, nobody needed to know we were married for now for my safety. I had initially taken my time to get dressed by a professional stylist and makeup artist Emmette had sent.When they were done, Salem stood watching as they finished making me look presentable. Although this thing was supposed to be a secret, Emmette was putting too much effort for a contract wedding. Imagining we actually had a big wedding, I'm pretty sure he would have done more.The makeup artist and the stylist waved me goodbye as they went out separately. My hair was styled to perfection, each strand falling gracefully into place. My makeup was flawless, accentuating my features with ju

MIMI"Hi Sarah." I greeted my niece as she just nodded and forced a smile. She didn't say anything else. I watched her from the rearview mirror going through her phone. I shrugged, the only reason I was picking her up was because Lilly insisted I do. With Devon against me, I need all the allies I could get, even Lilly could do."How was school Sweetie." I muttered trying to make conversation.She ignored me, her eyes still glued to her phone. What a spoiled brat, she's just like her selfish mother. I fixed my rearview mirror and started the car and began driving. Herod was next on my list.Ever since Devon knew about Herod's paternity we've been fighting non stop and Devon started treating Herod differently.Herod thinks it's because we fired his tutor and thinks having Corrie back everything will go back to normal. If only his four year old mind knew that slut had sullied my marriage.He's been depressed and that was begining to show in his results. I'll have to get him another tutor

CORRIE Ba-thump. Ba-thump. Ba-thump. The sound of my heartbeat pounded in my ears. My chest tightened as my breath hitched, and I struggled to calm the storm within me. Emmette leaned back slightly, his eyes fixed on my face, and I felt the weight of his gaze. My nerves were a mess and all I could think about was what was going on in that head of his? He tilted my chin upward, his thumb brushing the corner of my lips. Instinctively, I shut my eyes, almost as if it were second nature. My heart hammered louder, drowning out everything else as I braced for the kiss that I thought would follow. But it didn’t come. His hand lingered, still pressed against my lips. Confused, I opened my eyes to find a teasing smile dancing across his face. Slowly, he withdrew his hand, the smirk on his lips widening. "There was something on your lips," he said casually. "I was just helping you clean it off." I froze, mortified as warmth crept up my cheeks. "Oh..." I stammered, straightening in my se
