Leaving My CEO Wife

After I landed a five-million-dollar contract and saved the company from financial collapse, my CEO wife wrapped me in an excited embrace and said she wanted to have a baby with me.

She took out her phone and showed me a virtual baby on an app she had just signed up for.

"Look, honey," she said. "Isn't it adorable? You can even change how it looks. Do you like it? Once things settle down at the company, we can have a real one."

That night, I came across a post by her male secretary on social media. It was a photo of a positive pregnancy test, with my wife's figure visible in the background.

I did not comment.

I just liked the post.

When my wife noticed, she panicked and called me immediately. "Honey, it's not what you think. Please listen to me! I wanted to surprise you. The baby is yours!

"Can you clear things up on social media for everyone? I promise I'll give you a child of your own soon."

She insisted the baby was mine, yet she seemed to have forgotten that we had not shared a bed in six months.

"End the pregnancy," I said.

"We're finished."

"I really did plan a big surprise for you! See what a good husband I am? I even kept it a secret for so long!" I did not get to finish before my wife, Yvonne Rogers, cut me off. She was clearly upset. "If you're not happy, just drop it. And stop making jokes about divorce.

"Don't use divorce as an excuse all the time. I'm going to pretend I didn't hear you this time.

"You’d better clear up this mess fast. If you don't, don't think I'll be nice about it. You've got one chance."

Before I could say anything back, she hung up.

I turned to the divorce lawyer who had been waiting and let out a sigh.

She thought I was just jealous and looking for attention, but she did not realize I was truly fed up this time.

"Are you sure about the divorce? Your wife's company is doing really well right now. You won't get much out of a divorce at this point."

I nodded.

When I checked my phone later, I saw that her secretary, Jim Ferguson, had a flood of comments on his social media profile.

My team was sticking up for me, angry and frustrated.

[Why is this homewrecker trying to steal someone else's wife?]

[I'm working my *ss off, staying back every day for the company's sake, yet I still can't beat bootlickers who cozy their way up to the top. Share your secrets with me, boytoy! I want an easy life like yours.]

I was touched by those comments, and I finally understood why Yvonne was so upset and even threatened me to make things right.

Her favorite was getting a lot of heat.

However, the comments were only speaking the truth.

Jim was a pretty face with
