Emily's Pov
The first thing I did was to call my lawyer and tell him to prepare a divorce template paper for me.
The lawyer was shocked and asked if I was fine, but I told him not to worry.
After discussing it with the lawyer, I went to a place where private investigators were hired.
"I need you to investigate everything about these people," I told the private investigator.
I gave him two pictures and a ward of clean money.
"Who are they?" He asked me, pointing at the pictures.
"My husband and his mistress," I replied without emotion.
The man looked at me and nodded his head.
"Alright, I will start working on it right away," He assured me as he collected the money.
"Good!" I replied and walked out.
Nathan did not come home that day, and he told me not to bother about picking Evan up from his mother's place because she wanted to spend some time with her grandson.
I agreed because I lost all my love for the child since learning the truth.
The next day, Nathan called me to remind me of Victoria's birthday.
"Emily dear, I really want you to come. You know how much Victoria has helped my company, so I want us to use this opportunity to show appreciation for her," Nathan pleaded.
"Alright, I will come," I agreed.
I agreed to go so I could confirm things with my own eyes. They would be unable to hide the attraction if they were together.
"Thank you so much, Emily. I will send you money to get a new dress and buy a gift for Victoria," He added.
"Alright," I replied dryly.
He was too excited to notice that my voice was cold.
"And also, I will be taking Evan from my mother's place, so just come straight to the venue," Nathan said.
"Alright," I replied again in the same dry tone.
He seemed to have noticed this time because he suddenly became quiet.
"Is everything alright with you? You sound strange," He noted.
"I..."
I heard Victoria's voice in the background, and he didn't wait for me to complete my statement before he said okay and ended the call.
I looked at my phone and scoffed. Nathan does not know who he is dealing with yet.
Twenty minutes later, I received a credit alert from Nathan and a text telling me to use the money to get a dress for myself and a gift for Victoria.
I shook my head and got Victoria a new dress and jewellery.
As soon as I entered the house, I received a text on my phone. It was the same number that sent me the cheating video.
I checked the text, and it was a picture of Nathan and Victoria playing with Evan, and then I found out the truth.
Evan was already with Victoria and not Nathan's mother's place. That was why he had not come home since.
I closed the picture to get ready for the birthday party. When I got to the venue, it was already filled with people from all the works of life.
I saw Nathan carrying Eva,n and I went to meet him. He smiled at me and told me Victoria wanted to take a picture with Evan.
Just then, Victoria walked in looking dashing, and everyone was in awe of her except for me, who knew what she really was.
"Hello, Emily," Victoria greeted me as soon as she saw me.
"Happy Birthday, Victoria," I smiled as I handed her the gift.
She acted surprised by the gift and leaned in to hug me. She placed her mouth close to my ears and whispered as she did so.
"I hope you enjoyed the video and picture," She said, and I gasped.
So Victoria was the one who sent those things to me.
“So you were the one who sent those videos and pictures? Why?” I asked her.
She did not reply immediately. Instead, she chuckled.
“Because they belong to me,” She answered.
“What?” I was shocked.
"How naive of you to think he belongs to you. You have nothing, Emily, not Nathan and definitely not Evan, and yes, thank you for going through the labour pain for me. I heard you almost died, and your poor womb had to be removed." She mocked.
People around us were cheering and taking pictures. They were happy thinking we were sharing happy moments.
"Now watch from afar and see that this family is mine, not yours," She said, releasing me from the hug.
I was wondering what she meant when I saw her call the photographer.
She carried Evan in her hands and called Nathan for them to take pictures together.
That was when I saw the striking resemblance between Evan and her.
At that moment, the last scale fell from my eyes. I will show them that hell has no fury than a scorned woman.
Just then, I received a text from the private investigator.
‘We have evidence that you would love to see.’
