The CEO's Ex-Wife Returns With His Son

Evelyn's Pov

I walk casually out of the hospital with a huge grin plastered on my face. I feel elated after the doctor confirmed that I'm actually, 4 weeks pregnant.

My joy knows no bounds and I feel on top of the world. I can't wait to tell my husband, Landon Phillips about the good news. I bet he'll be so happy when he knows he's going to be a father.

Landon Phillips is Texas most influential business man.. As a matter of fact, people call him the Master of all businesses. I will term myself as the most lucky woman on this planet Earth to be married to him.

Will I say I'm lucky to be called and recognized as his wife? Hell, yes! I'm super lucky. Being married to the most handsome and Influential man, it makes me envy of all single ladies out there.

Many want to be in my shoes, I mean, who doesn't want to be seen with Landon Phillips on National Televisions and other social events? Everyone wants that, too bad he's already mine and mine alone, no one can take him away.

It's been two years since Marriage and Landon and I have been waiting to have a child of our own and the news of being pregnant is the best thing that can ever happen to us.

I clutch on to the test paper like my whole life depends on it.. Of course, it means a lot to me right now.

I walked towards the parking lot and got into my car and the driver did not waste any more time before driving off.

I stare at the paper again, I can't get my eyes off it.. It's like a dream come true and I feel like I just won something that's 1 than a lottery.

What I want to do is scream out and spill the news to everyone, including Landon.. I guess I have to wait until he returns from work tonight. Then I'll treat him to a delicious dinner and tell him. Tonight is gonna be so special.

I won't classify my marriage with Landon as perfect.. But I can say for now that we're the best. I met Landon at a business event, he kind of was in a depressed state. We started off on the wrong foot but long story cut short, we got along after a few instances of bumping into each other and then we fell in love, now we're here as a couple.

Landon is my first.. Sounds awkward right? I came to understand the type of man he is.. He's the type that hardly voices out his feelings even though I never let a day pass without saying.. I love you.

Getting home, I was surprised to find Landon's cars parked. I wonder why he's back so early but I concluded that he must have come to get something. Anyways, I can't hold back the news anymore, I just have to tell him. I wait for the chauffeur to come get the door. I hurriedly stepped out and rushed inside.

I saw Landon at his Mini bar, drinking and only stopped when I got in front of him. Lately, he has been acting cold towards me. 

He ignores me at every given opportunity and when I try to talk to him, he just tunes me off and walks away.

I thought he's just stressed out because of work or something is really bothering him which he doesn't want to share. But I hope after telling him about the pregnancy, it would cheer him up a bit.

"Honey, I'm so glad you're home" I hugged him from behind, resting my head on his broad chest.

I pull away from the hug and stand at his side. He hasn't looked at me or acknowledged my presence but I'm just so excited to worry about that.

"I have something to tell you Honey, you just won't..."

"I also have something to tell you Olivia and before you say anything, hear me out first" He cuts me off and pushes an envelope to me. He spoke to me in an unusually cold tone and still wasn't looking at me.

I frown and look at the envelope in my hand..

"What are these?" I ask. He turned his head sharply to me and I swear I almost jumped out in fright.

He's staring at me with so much anger and contempt in his eyes. He's glaring murderously at me and if looks can kill, I swear I would be six feet under by now.

His eyes were dark and red, his forehead was curved into a deep frown and even the veins in his neck were visible. He looks extremely angry.

"I've been trying so hard not to let things turn out this way but I guess what's meant to be will be. I guess this had to happen to let us both know we aren't meant for each other"

I'm staring at him, confused. i look at the envelope, wondering what could be inside.

"I care about you alot Evelyn and the times we've been together, I kept trying to love you back the way you love me but it's all over now. As much as it breaks my heart to know that you would be the one to ruin our relationship, I'll just have to accept it.. Let's get a divorce Evelyn. In that envelope is a divorce paper, I already signed my part. Sign yours and let's end this crap called marriage"

I can see that he's trying so hard to conceal his emotions and speak to me in a calm tone, but what he just said, hit me like a bomb..

"Di.. Divorce papers?" I say, staring at him in disbelief. I quickly pulled out the paper and it was indeed a divorce paper. I want to believe that the paper isn't for me but I am kidding.. I can clearly see Landon's signature on it.

I feel my eyes well up in tears and my heart breaking into pieces. I can't seem to figure out why he wants to get a divorce all of a sudden..

"Why are you doing this Landon? Is this a prank or something? Why do you want us to get divorced?" I forced myself to speak, a lone tear rolling down my cheeks. I can't control myself.

He didn't say a word, but rather kept drinking.

I shook my head in denial and placed the divorce paper on the table. I moved to touch him but he abruptly stood up and shrugged my hands off and pushed me roughly, making me land heavily on my butt.

I wince as slight pain hit my lower abdomen but it stopped just as it came. I was speechless because it all looks like a dream. The Landon I know would never lay his hands in me but he just did.

I stood up with tears.. I'm too shocked to speak right now. I wiped my tears and looked at him.

"I'm not going to sign those papers simply because you ask me to Landon. You have to explain to me what this madness is all about. You can't just wake up one morning and decide to get a divorce.. We've been married for two years Landon and it's a love Marriage, none of us were forced into this. Why are you doing this Landon?" I ask in tears.

"You are the reason why I'm acting this way Evelyn. What did you think, that I'm not going to find out? You think your secrets will be kept unknown forever, uh?"

"What secrets are you talking about?"

"Don't try to play smart with me Evelyn.. I know everything you're doing. Your secrets are out in the open now, so stop pretending."

I looked at him in confusion and he pulled out his phone, typed on it for sometime then turned it towards me.

My lips fell open and I gasped in shock as I watched the video of me in a compromising state with a stranger. I can't be mistaken right.. That's me on his phone!.

I looked at him, then back at his phone. What's happening? I can't remember having an illicit affair with anyone.. Landon has always been the one for me and he'll continue to be.

Tears rolled down my cheeks.

Hell, I don't even know why I'm crying.. I'm just sad to know that he doesn't even want to believe me. How can I defend myself when it's clearly in front of me. it's a video of me having sex with a man, but how? I can't even explain.

"Sign the divorce papers now and let's end this marriage. I can't keep living with an unfilial woman. Sign the damn papers," He barked.

"No! I can't, I can't sign them. I did not cheat on you Landon, believe me. You know what I'm capable of doing and what I can't do. I can't hurt you, you know that. I love you and I know you love me back, that's why we're married. We've been married for two years, please don't throw everything down the drain because of some message."

I tried to touch him but he shrugged my hands off and moved back, then stared at me with disgust.

He accused me of cheating on him and the video is all he needs to see the filth I'm made off. He said hurtful words to me that tore my heart to pieces. He said I had no shame, that I'm as filthy as a slut.

My heart hurts so much and I hate that I have to be the victim here. Who could have done this to me?

All my efforts to speak to him and make him believe me failed.. All he wants me to do is sign the papers.

"Sorry to interrupt you Mr Phillips.. But your ride is here" Doris Fen, Landon's PA interrupted, walking into the mansion. Landon passed her a nod and she left. Then he looked at me.

"You heard her. My ride is here and I have to leave so just sign the divorce papers! why are you so stubborn? This is an opportunity for you to be with all the men you want to sleep with and I won't stop you. Now you can do it without fear of being caught. Go on, sign it." 

I'm not going to give up, I won't. I'm going to speak with Landon again and hopefully, we'd sort things out and clear the misunderstanding. If it means apologizing, I don't mind.. As far as he takes back the divorce and believes her honesty.

"Please.. Don't do this to me! Please don't give everything up. think about it, it's just a misunderstanding.. You can't believe a simple video? Whoever sent you that only wants to ruin our relationship. Don't let them succeed in that." 

I shake my head, still refusing to sign the papers.

Amidst the crisis, A lady walked in.. It's none other than Diana Winston---Landon's ex-girlfriend. They used to be in love but broke up three years ago due to some issues best reserved.

She walks up to Landon and holds his hand.

"What's keeping you darling? Are you ready to leave?" She asked Landon who nodded his head in response.

What's going on here? Why is Diana Winston here? Different thoughts ran through my mind and I don't know which to believe.

I look at Diana and she looks back at me and smirks.. I feel really ashamed and embarrassed. Being referred to as an unfilial woman in front of the maids and Diana.. I feel like the ground should open and swallow me up.

Are Diana and Landon in this together? Else, why would she be up and ask if he's ready to leave the very moment he's asking me to sign a divorce? Are they back together? Is she the reason for his cold attitude towards me and also the reason why he wants to get a divorce? So he can finally be free and be with Diana.

Was I an obstacle to them? Was that why they manipulated some useless video so I would look like the sinful person here?

It's all clear now!

I feel anger build deep inside me.. Pure anger for Landon who just made me look like a fool.

With a heavy heart and teary eyes, I took out a pen and shakily put down my signature on the paper, bursting into tears in the process.

"Good! Now we both can go on with our lives without any worry. You don't have anything to worry about because I'm leaving this house so you can have it all to yourself. At least, you have a roof over your head. A copy of the divorce papers would be sent to you. Don't try to call or text me Evelyn.. It's over now, Good bye!"

With that, Landon walks out with Diana who had the temerity to wave her filthy hands at me with a victorious smile on her face.

How can Landon do this to me! How can he hurt me and still leave without looking back?

My heart has been messed with and crushed to pieces. It aches and I feel nothing but sadness, pain, hurt and betrayal.

I fell to the ground in tears, screaming out in pain. My heart was burning and I feel like the whole world has turned their backs against me.

I have been stabbed with the deepest form of betrayal.

A few days passed with me trying to pick up the pieces of my life. With Landon gone, I've come to the realization that he took me for a fool and orchestrated some stupid videos and have me sign the papers just so he can be with Diana.

I used to love Landon with everything in me but he played with my heart. Nothing hurts me more than the fact that Landon is my first love and first love is hard to forget. I don't think I'll ever be able to forget him and I'll never forget the pain he has caused me too.

I look really miserable, my eyes are red and swollen, my hair is disheveled.. I've not been myself since Landon left. I've become a shadow of myself.

I checked the time.. It's 8:30pm and almost time for my flight.

I made the decision to leave Texas for good and build myself up again. If I don't leave, then I would end up falling into depression.

I drag my luggage behind me as I walk out of the mansion. It's not going to be easy, especially since I'm pregnant and I'm going to start off with being a single mom.. but I have to pick myself up for the sake of my child.
