DEVON "Mr Remington. Your mother is busy at the moment please wait till she's done." Mom's secretary pleaded but I could care less. Who had time to wait when my inheritance was publicly stripped from me. And I got the news this morning while I was scrolling through my phone. I wasn't given a go ahead, nor an explanation and my mother could barely take my calls. She was treating me like a client, instead of her own flesh and blood.I was close, to the door of my mother's office. A hand latched on to me, trying to pull me away but with full determination, I fought through and kicked the door down and let my self in.Mother's face fell, her face a contort of shock and worry. I traced her eyes down to the swivel chair, who's back was panned at me.The chair slowly twirled, to reveal Emmette Nash. "What are you doing here? Mother what the hell is this?" I raised my voice at the both of them. Emmette flashed me a smirk and just in time my mother's secretary ran in. She went on her knees

MIMIMy legs felt weak; they could give out any second. My body ached, and I felt like a mindless zombie with each step I took. My body felt heavy—it was hard to look up—but I felt relieved seeing the Emerald Palace. All I needed was a nice, good sleep, and I'd think of what to do next. I walked into the building. Immediately, I forced myself to proudly sway my hips. I forced a smile too and greeted a few people till I got to the elevator. The elevator doors opened, and I waited for a few people to get in. I stayed at the back, exhausted, till the doors shut. I drowned out the noise of the people in the elevator with my thoughts. How was I going to pay the maids? The chef? Herod's driver and his tutor? I bit down on my nails until the elevator dinged. Everyone looked around, waiting for whose floor it was. A woman walked out, and my eyes turned to the buttons to see it was my floor as well. I wrestled through the crowd, twirled slightly, and bowed to the crowd in respect. Th

CORRIEI must be insane to have come to school. I didn't know if all eyes were on me because of my previous scandal or it was just because I haven't been to school in weeks because of it.I called the headmaster that I'll be signing off my leave since it was so boring at home.My head was up, ignoring the stares, I tried hastening my steps without looking out of place or nervous and my heart jumped in excitement as I spot my class."Mrs Nash." I froze on my steps. My heart was beating. My world felt like it could end any second.I let go of the breath I initially held and turned to see Miss Cindy, the guidance counsellor."H-hi." I stuttered nervously. Her face morphed into a pitiful stare. She opened her arms wide and pulled me into a hug.I was stiff, my hands having no idea of what to do at this moment and most importantly I was confused as Miss Cindy hugged me tighter.She pulled away from the hug, her face steaming with tears."Welcome back. You're really brave and strong for sho

CORRIEI bit on my nails nervously, my legs moved back and forth as I watch the doctor give Emmette a checkup. Guilt was a heavy weight to process and I couldn't help but wonder if this had anything to do with me. Emmette looked so tired, I didn't want to imagine what he could have gone through for the past week since we had been apart."He's fine Mrs Nash." The doctor audibly called to me. I paused, tilting my gaze towards them."But why did he collapse?" I asked, recalling memories of Devon's father passing out on numerous occasions before he finally passed away. He had arrhythmia and my face flushed pale on the mere thought that the same fate could go to Emmette."Does he perharps has arrhythmia?" The doctor arched a brow at me and then laughed, longer than he should, making my cheeks heat up in embarrassment.He turned to Emmette. "Is your wife a nurse?" He chuckled lightly, earning a smile from Emmette who shook his head."She's a teacher, and she's really good at it." Emmette an

CORRIE"Today's activity will be horseback riding." The head teacher bellowed loudly as we followed her and two stable boys. They would be assisting with today's activity and they chipped in a bit of knowledge to both students and teachers along the way.Everyone gasped in awe, while my hand pinned behind my back as I drowned out the noise. I used to be a stable girl when I was 16. Horseback riding used to be Devon's favorite sport and I would do any thing at the time to blend as an accessory. I literally became a stable girl to please the bastard."Mrs Nash.." I was pulled out of reality to see the head teacher smiling back at me. It was eerie, it was odd and the first time she looked at me with such kindness."Your husband..." She points over to Emmette and a few men who were discussing. I looked back at her and then back at Emmette who smiled at me, then winked and I couldn't help but blush like some school girl."Won't you give him a wave?" She smugly grinned and I can see what's
