The Ex-Wife’s Billion Dollar Comeback Novel

---- Chapter 189: Accident ~ Soraya ~ "Are you ready?" the doctor asked. "Very ready," Jacob said. "| have two baby brothers!" Angela exclaimed. Soraya laughed while lying on an examination bed. They were having the ultrasound, and to keep Angela involved and never left out, they brought their daughter for the gender reveal. Normally, children were not allowed inside, but the doctor had arranged to have the gender reveal in a private clinic, a facility the same doctor also managed "Well, these babies are most likely identical twins, so they will have the same gender," the doctor said.

Soraya and Jacob were already told that the most accurate way to determine if the babies were identical was through DNA testing after birth. However, the pregnancy conditions had already suggested that they were, in fact, identical twins. The doctor kept adjusting the ultrasound probe. At each step, she described to the couple what she saw. "Baby A is measuring about twenty weeks and three days, and Baby B is right on track at twenty weeks and one day. Both look healthy." Soraya was already five months pregnant at that point, so some of the babies' features were already clear.

The image shifted as the doctor adjusted the angle again. " Let's see if we can get a clear look between the legs..." A pause. Then, a small smile. "Ah, there it is. Baby A is definitely a boy. See that little protrusion? That's the scrotum and penis." "Yay!" Angela was in Jacob's arms. She raised her hands, ---- declaring, "A baby brother!" Soraya laughed at Angela. She turned to the doctor and explained, "She has always wanted a baby brother." "Congratulations, little girl!" the doctor said with a smile. "Now, let's check on Baby B!" The doctor continued, sliding the probe higher.

"He's positioned a bit higher, and..." The screen flickered with movement as Baby B kicked. "What an active baby! Did you see that kick? There we go. And.. looks like another boy. Congratulations, you've got twin boys." "Yay! Yay!" Angela was jumping in Jacob's arms. She cupped Jacob's face and said, "Daddy! | have two baby brothers! I'm going to love them, kiss them, feed them, and play with them!" "We are going to play tea!" "Play makeup." "Play dress, and piano!" "Oh, boy." Jacob hissed while Soraya and the doctor laughed their hearts out.

"That will be your job to explain," Soraya said, passing the ball to her husband. They were happy. The couple's friends and family were delighted when they learned the news: Soraya and Jacob were having twin boys. Their lives carried on, full of expectations and goals. Soraya was not able to attend Luca's grand opening at the Vanguard Galleria. Instead, she occupied herself with their newly built villa in Burnell. She and Veronica decided on every furnishing of the house, from the living room to the nursery. ---- She also joined Jacob during the power plant shareholders' meeting.

She offered the services of Aegis Core Systems to Nexa Power and even gave the plant a twenty-percent discount to use NeuroSentinel 2.0. Whenever Jacob was on a business trip, Soraya busied herself with the military security system, the Montclair Group's new e-commerce business, and assigning the rest of her work to Emil and Lyra. In between, she had several video calls with Sage. Soraya regretted not seeing her daughter, but as her stomach grew bigger, it became more and more difficult to travel long distances. By the time they moved into the villa, Soraya was already six months pregnant.

Nonetheless, she had all the support she needed without lifting a finger. Jacob had not made it home yet. They were going to have a housewarming party the next day. He arrived at the airport at eleven in the evening. He called Soraya to say, "Honey, I'm headed to Nexa Power now with Dante." "Nonsense." Soraya snapped. "We already agreed you'd stay overnight at Beverly's house. It's already late, Jacob!" "But | miss you already," Jacob insisted. "| want to be there by the time you wake up." "Jacob, listen to me. No," Soraya insisted. "I'm going," Jacob said.

"Dante and | are renting a Mercedes from Enterprise Rent-A-Car. It comes with a private driver, so we'll be fine." But what Jacob didn't anticipate was that no matter how well- trained their assigned driver was, the road was never theirs alone. Other motorists shared the night, and not all of them ---- valued caution the way they did. Overnight, Soraya struggled to sleep. Even though she slept with Angela, there was an unease she couldn't explain. She kept getting up and drinking a glass of water.

When morning came, the maids informed Soraya that Veronica had left in the wee hours to handle something urgent. Worse, Jacob was not yet home. Soraya texted Jacob, but her husband did not reply. She called and called, but there was no answer. She was starting to feel that something was off. But before she could go into panic mode, Veronica Steel arrived, looking very exhausted. "Mom? Where have you been? Have you heard from Jacob and Dante?" Soraya asked while getting up from the living room sofa. "Ara, | need you to stay calm," Veronica said cautiously. Soraya frowned. "Mom?

What's going on?" Veronica took a deep breath and revealed, "Dante and Jacob met with an accident last night on the road. They were both injured but are now fine. Jacob suffered a leg injury. Dante shielded Jacob during the crash and suffered a forearm fracture that required surgery." Soraya's eyes widened, and tears quickly brimmed in her eyes. "I couldn't tell you," Veronica cried. "Jacob was so worried that you would get stressed. But everything is fine now. They were not severely injured, thank heavens." "But Jacob..." Veronica gulped.

"Soraya, Jacob won't be able to walk for a while." "Mom? How could you not tell me?" Soraya said, her heart ---- racing. They didn't tell Angela yet. Their daughter was still asleep. Soraya didn't even bathe. She went straight to the hospital with Jaxon driving her. When she found Jacob's room, she cried, but more than anything, she scolded him. "I told you not to travel at night!" "And how dare you hold this information from me?" The tears flowed, so much that they pooled on Soraya's chin.

That's why you get married, because husbands need to listen to their wives!" She went on and on, but when she closed in on Jacob's bed, he pulled her into his arms and hugged her tightly. "I'm sorry." He kissed her temples and added, "I'm sorry, Honey. From now on, I'll listen to whatever you say." some ~ Calum ~ While Jacob had met with an accident in Burnell, back in Cedar Heights, Calum was having troubles of his own. He was overseeing the arrangement of Rose's new casual wear for winter at the Vanguard Galleria when his wife suddenly cried out. "Calum. Calum!" Rose shouted.

She was setting up a dress on the mannequin when she looked down at herself. Rose was bleeding.
