All Chapters of Dear Ex Husband, I'll Make You Wish You Were Dead: Chapter 41 - Chapter 50

MIMI"Why isn't your husband here Mimi?" Lilly called to my attention, barely taking a sip of her wine. She's been ceranading the fucking glass instead of drinking and minding her fucking business. I smiled. I threw a little family get together in one of the most elite restaurants to celebrate I and Devon finally staying at Emerald palace.I called Devon, asking, begging even that he should not fucking miss it, to avoid questions like this. And where was he? He was making me look like a fool.I put my glass down next to me."He's on his way Lilly, you don't expect him to be less busy. It was my fault for not checking in with his schedule." I said trying to ease the tension but the smirk on Lilly's face was definitely brewing trouble."Oh." She chimed loudly. "Benjamin is as well very busy but he still made time to come to your party." She smiled giving her hand to Benjamin who smittenly kissed the back of her hand. I was furious, envious even of the both of them. The thing that alwa

ARIELLE I tried my best to be silent on entering the legacy suite. Two days had passed and Corrie is yet to get back results from the DNA test. Although she suggested the test be done at the hospital but I knew my son too well. His eyes were everywhere and I'm sure he was aware about my intentions to visit. Time was ticking and it would soon be up before he realized my plan. He may hate me for it after this, but Corrie needed to know he didn't marry her for no ordinary reason. She needed to know she was being used and she and her child could be in possible danger."Why the creeping?" Emmette pulled me out of my thoughts. I froze, forgetting I was already in the suite but forgot the habit of not creeping. A faint smug left my lips and I straighten my back with confidence."Is that the way to talk to your mother?" I laced my tone in dominance, hoping he wouldn't see behind facade of fears."Oh, you want to act like my mother now? How soothing but that's too late now, don't you think?"

CORRIE My eyes were still stunged all the way to the Foyer of the emerald palace. Salem stuck by my side escorting directly to the elevator.We both made a pause, I turned to face him, pulling off the fakest smile I could muster, just so I could see him off. He already escorted me in the building, I didn't want people getting the wrong idea."Stay out of trouble lunatic." He smized, at least his was real. This was when he was supposed to leave but we both stood there awkwardly and I turned to wait for the elevator.The elevator doors dinged open, a few people walked out. I twirled, my eyes met with Salem one last time before it came in contact with the last person in the elevator."Well well well." Abigail chuckled, her eyes which seemed to been glued to her phone now clung to me."You're very bold Corrie, you really need to teach me how you do it." She burst laughing out like a maniac. She stepped out of the elevator, standing in my way as the doors shut behind her. "What a pain."

CORRIE My eyes glued to the TV screen. For the past three days I was dragged hell and back for my affair with Devon. The media had traced my workplace to Pinnacle Prep and parents were already on the school's neck to fire me. Then there was Emmette who continued to avoid the media no matter how much they dragged him for issuing a public divorce. As much as I felt bad for him, I was still mad at him for his comment the other day. The TV winds off, I looked over to Salem who casually dropped a bowl in front of me. "Stop rotting your brain with the news." He said dropping the remote close to the TV. I sat up straight and pulled the bowl close to me. My brows furrowed at his outfit. "You're going to work?" I said in a lowly tone. He nodded, going inside his room to get his bag. He dropped his bag right in front of me and goes to zip up his boots. "I'll be gone for a week or else. Once I'm done I'll come back." He stated but his tone was dripping in concern. He looked at me. "You're

CORRIE Emmette's cold gaze washed over me. His stare alone made me shiver more than in the hospital. I stared at him waiting for him to give me a reply but he looks too shocked to fathom one."What about your revenge? I thought we had an alliance." Emmette swallowed, looking like his world was falling apart."It's over." I spat, my eyes reddened as tears formed in my eyes. My voice was shaking and I hated it, that I was inferior to him."I-I was doing fine before you came into the picture. I'll be fine without you." I stuttered, my words barely coming out without making a stammer. My face fell to the floor, I tried to convince myself that it made it easier to talk to Emmette. But I was humiliated and I feared for a second, just looking into his eyes will change my mind."Corrie..." Emmette muttered softly, closing the distance between us. But I jerked back instantly."I was greedy, thinking my revenge would be easy with you around. But it was never going to be—not when I'm up against
