The CEO’s Ex-Wife Is A Famous Doctor

Chapter 1: Divorce

“I want a divorce! I am now the CEO of the Thompson Group of Companies- the master of the Thompsons. My father can no longer control me. I am done with your selfishness!” Evan Thompson, her husband, towered over her as he yelled. “I thought I knew you. I thought you would change, but I was wrong to think that you deserved a chance!”

“Evan, please,” Shantelle’s words broke in and out. This wasn’t the first time her husband had brought up the divorce in the past few months, but now he had the divorce papers in his hand.

Fear crept into Shantelle’s heart, knowing how serious he was this time. She reasoned, “I thought you were cheating on me. So I did every married woman would do and confront a mistress whom you have been housing in a luxury apartment -”

“I was only helping her!” Evan insisted. “She isn’t a mistress! Why are you so insecure?”

“Nicole has no one. I brought her here to Rose Hills, and she is my responsibility. Two years ago, Nicole quit her job in Lockwood to be with me. She has no one. Do you hear me? No one. You and father ensured she could not get a decent job!” Evan shot back.

With a frown, Shantelle said back, “She could have gotten a decent job if she stayed away from Rose Hills -”

“And with what? No money – in a new town without anyone she knows?” Evan retorted.

“Then, she could go back to Lockwood -” Shantelle tried to reason, but he cut her off again.

“That’s not the point, Shantelle! Haven’t you realized it? I do not like to be dictated!” Evan said. He pointed at her and described, “You think you can control my life? Who do I want to be acquainted with?”

“That’s never going to happen, Shantelle! Never! I only permitted this marriage because of my father – because he threatened me with my inheritance, my birthright!” Evan added. “You realized how unfair that was for me?”
