Get a lawyer ASAP!
When you are an employee, the employer owns all your time. There is no such thing as "spare time" or "side project on my own". That's why employer can tell you that you have to be there and then, can call you at any time and can drug test your to ensure you are 100% committed to the company.
It's just modern slavery.
Sure you can negotiate such clauses out, but it would be still difficult to claim ownership to anything you make "outside work".
For the future - if you are entrepreneurial, create your own company and work on a b2b basis. It is much healthier and you wouldn't run to such problems (or much less likely).
