His Regret: Ex Wife I Want You Back

It was winter period in Los Angeles, the weather was chilly, snow cascading comfortably down the sky.

Ivy walked through the glass door of a hospital, her stride large and her eyes focused.

She was going to see a doctor.

Earlier today, Ivy had tripped and fell in her office. She had her head felt light and her eyes spinning, then in few minutes, she was welcomed into darkness.

Ivy laid there motionless for almost thirty minutes until she regained consciousness again.

Her eyes still heavy and drowsy she staggered to take water, only then she was able to put herself together.

Thanks goodness no one was around to see her, else she would have became the talk of her office.

She adjusted her mask as she opened the door slowly into the doctor's office.

When she got in, Ivy swiped down her mask.

"Hi Doctor Collins.." She greeted the man who had a pleasant smile upon seeing her.

"Please have your sit Mrs Taylor." He muttered, his tone calm and polite.

When she sat down, doctor Collins began inquiring about her symptoms which she replied firmly.

From there, she proceeded to the lab where her blood was drawn for diagnosis.

Ivy sat quietly waiting for her results and prescription.

Whatever was wrong with her should not be more than a fatigue, or whatever it was, she couldn't wait to get her medications and get out of the hospital.

She had so many works back there to do.

As a team leader, her desk was always choked with work.

Also Ivy was a very diligent workaholic who doesn't joke with her job, even though her husband owned the company.

She worked hard like every other employee in the company.

Few minutes later, Doctor Collins called her back to his office, her results were ready.

Her medications must be prescribed already, it shouldn't take much time.

But when she got there, doctor Collins only asked her to sit down, she sat, but instead of handling her the medications to leave.

He started with.

"Mrs Taylor, why are you stressing yourself so much in your condition?"

Ivy had her forehead scrunched together.

What did he mean in her condition?

When doctor Collins saw the puzzled look on her face, he only thought of one thing, ‘maybe she doesn't know yet’.

"Mrs Taylor, you're two months pregnant and you must do away with anything that's giving you stress."

Ivy had her mouth opened wide along with her eyes.

She couldn't believe this news.

"Are.. are you serious doctor?" She asked, her breath husky and her chest going up and down.

Ivy had been married for over three years without even a miscarriage and now she was pregnant? Just how?

"Yes Mrs Taylor, you're already two month into it, you have to start your antenatal care as soon as possible."

Ivy's hand moved slowly to her stomach, still in disbelief.

There was a life growing inside her stomach now?

Doctor Collins nodded, his smile widening.

Strings of joy overwhelmed Ivy's heart.

She was finally carrying Ryder's child.

She caressed her stomach which was still flat, although she knew she added few weights, but Ivy never imagined she was carrying an angel in her stomach.

Her smile brightened.

This was a good news for her and her family.

She was sure Ryder would be so happy to hear this.

Although he had been mute and never questioned her for not being pregnant all this years, but she knew he was concerned about it.

Ryder loved her so much and for the past three years of their marriage, he had never put anyone above her.

Not even his family.

Not even when his sister came trying to make her feel bad for not having a child, Ryder warned her to never come back to their house again.

He was that protective of her and cherished her dearly.

"Thank you so much Doctor, I'll have to leave now to go break this great news to my husband."

"Alright Mrs Taylor, make sure to start your antenatal care on time."

"Thank you."

With that, Ivy drifted away.

She hopped into her BMW 7-series and drove off.

She couldn't wait to get home and tell her husband.

She walked through that elegant door of their penthouse, her face glowing and smile plastered on her lips as she rushed in to meet Ryder.

But when she got in, the house was quite.

Ryder was usually back by this time and the TV would always be on running and loud as Ryder watch football or play video games, this was his specific time, but today Ryder wasn't at home doing any of that.

Ivy wondered why.

Does he have extra work at the office?

That wasn't possible, as Ryder always take this time off, to enjoy his 1hour moment before going back to any work he had.

She checked the time again to be sure, but she was right, this was his leisure period.

What happened? Ivy's shoulder slumped.

Where had her husband gone without informing her? He often tell her if there was a change in his schedule, what was happening?

Ivy decided to wait for when he'd return, she would ask when he started behaving like this.

With her sullen face, she walked into her bathroom for a quick shower. When she was done, she put on her pyjamas and hopped back on the couch to put on their TV.

She was going to watch the news , as a big company, their stock price was always discussed and put on the news by journalists. She doesn't often watch this, but she needed it now to keep her self busy till her husband returned.

Just as Ivy put on the broadcasting station, a recap came up.

In the recap, there was an elegant lady in a very flying hat, her skin flawless and a huge sunglass plastered on her face. She exuded elegance, beside her was who she couldn't believe it was.

It couldn't be her husband right?

This wasn't Ryder was it? And who was the lady?
