The Ex-Wife’s Billion Dollar Comeback Novel

---- Chapter 104: | Love You, Mommy ~ Soraya ~ [How is he?] Soraya texted Lyra as soon as she arrived at Jacob's house. Lyra: [Don't worry, he will live. He's being petty at the moment. He says Jacob might be "small" and boring.] Lyra: [Hahahaha] Soraya, "..." Lyra: [You know he doesn't mean that.] Soraya just shook her head, and a faint smile formed on her face. She was happy that Lyra was there for Silas. She texted back: [Take care of him for me.] Lyra: [I will. Say hi to Angela for me. Tell her Aunt Lyra wants to meet her.] Just in time, Angela came rushing down the stairs. "Mommy!

Mommy!" Her eyes gleamed as she headed down and leaped in Soraya's direction. Soraya caught the little girl and kissed her cheek. "Did you wait for me?" Angela nodded. Then, she pointed upstairs. "Say it,' Soraya reminded. "Yes, Mommy. | want to sleep," Angela said shyly. "Well, Mommy still has to bathe, and I'll sleep with you," she said. ---- Then, Angela shook her head, which made Soraya frown. The little girl said, "You stay with Daddy and make me a baby brother." Soraya, "... "Is that what your daddy said?" Soraya asked, and Angela nodded with a big smile on her face.

'What a sly; Soraya thought. 'No wonder Angela has not asked me to sleep with her over the past few days: "Well, your daddy isn't here, so | can sleep with you," she said. Soraya no longer touched on the topic. She simply carried Angela to her room. She settled her in bed and said, "Wait for me. I'm just going to take a shower." She returned after half an hour in her pajamas, but Soraya brought her laptop with her. She had planned to trade for two hours and do nothing else. However, she saw an important email. It came from Annette Grayson's lawyers.

They wanted to get the video evidence of the senator's affairs, and they wanted to renegotiate the cancellation of the NeuroSentinel license. The email also said that a million dollars was transferred to her account as a settlement for their disagreement. Soraya checked her account and confirmed she had, in fact, received the money. But then she wondered why they insisted on the security system license. Sure, NeuroSentinel was gaining popularity, but there were still other security software out there. Still, she agreed to meet on Monday, right after she would get her divorce certificate.

---- Then, there was a development on the phishing email she sent to the Lotus Shadow Teahouse. At least five employees had clicked on the link, thinking they had won a raffle. Asmile crept on Soraya's face. She was eager to hack the restaurant where Marvin Rowan mysteriously went regularly. However, Angela called, pouting, "Mommy, let's sleep." "I'm going to sleep with you, Baby, but Mommy is just going to work a little, okay?" Soraya smiled at Angela. "Go on, close your eyes. | will be with you. | promise." "Okay," Angela said, turning on her left side to close her eyes.

"Goodnight, Mommy." "Goodnight" Soraya said. "| love you, Mommy,' Angela added. Soraya had turned to her laptop when Angela said that. She stilled for a moment as warmth spread through her chest. She turned to the little girl and saw her smiling. "I love you too, Angela." "Really, Mommy?" Angela asked. Soraya felt the corners of her eyes moisten. She decided to log out of her forex trade and work on the Lotus Shadow Teahouse the next day. Instead, she dimmed the lights and joined Angela in bed.

She hugged her tight and said, "Yes, Mommy loves you." Before Soraya closed her eyes that night, the messaging app on her phone buzzed. She checked her mobile and saw it was Sage, but the call ended suddenly. ---- Sage did not message either, so Soraya assumed her daughter had pressed the button by mistake. Soraya did note how Sage had not been texting her lately. "Mommy, let's sleep," Angela said. Soraya decided to let it be. She turned to Angela and rested with her for the night. tek ~ Sage ~ "Sage, didn't | tell you not to call your Mommy?" Calum said. Sage pouted.

She put her tablet down and asked, "But why, Daddy? I-I kinda miss Mom." They were at Rose's apartment, and Sage was in her assigned room when Calum caught her trying to call Soraya. Her father looked at Rose, who stood beside him. Then, her Aunt Rose said, "Let me handle this, Calum." Calum nodded. "I'll be in your room." After her father left, Rose closed the door behind them. She leveled with Sage and said, "Sage, Sweetie. Your Mommy did something bad." Sage frowned and asked, "What do you mean, Aunt Rose?" Rose looked down.

She paused before revealing, "Your Mommy ruined a family." "Ruined a family?" Sage asked, confused. "Yes." Rose nodded. "You see, there was a happy family, a happy daddy, a happy mommy, and happy kids, but Soraya ---- destroyed that. She ruined that family, so that's why your Daddy is mad at your mom." Sage frowned, asking, "Why would Mommy do that?" Rose shook her head. "I don't know, but we think it's best to distance yourself from your mom for now. Is that okay? Is Aunt Rose enough to make you happy?

With Aunt Rose, your daddy is always happy." "Remember, with just your mommy, your daddy was never home, but with me, now you get to spend more time with your father." Rose smiled, and Sage smiled too. Sage was still confused but acknowledged Rose's words. " You are right, Aunt Rose. | just wish Mommy did not have to ruin someone else's family." Rose pecked her forehead. She said, "Now, you go to bed and I'll go check on your father. Goodnight." "Goodnight," Sage said, yawning. She closed her eyes next, surrendering to sleep.

tek ~ Calum ~ While waiting for Rose in her room, Calum contacted his lawyers. They had reached out to the Graysons to make a settlement for what Soraya had done, but his attorney's reply baffled him. "Sir, Annette Grayson's attorney said they had already arrived at an agreement with Miss Azar. They do not want to discuss with us." Calum frowned. He asked, "But they might go public with "| don't think so, Mr. Montclair. The attorney's words were ---- precisely this: 'We don't want to get in any more problems with Miss Azar," the lawyer reported. "| don't understand,' Calum said.

"They did not give me much to work on either, Mr. Montclair," the attorney added. Calum felt like having a headache altogether. He sighed and decided, "Let's try to talk to them again next week and clarify the matter. For now, | guess the priority is to get the divorce done." "Yes, Sir" the lawyer acknowledged. "The sooner Miss Azar's name is no longer attached to the Montclairs', the better." Little did Calum know that Monday would become the day he wished had never come, a truth that would reveal itself in time.
