The Ex-Wife’s Billion Dollar Comeback Novel

---- Chapter 204: A Sister? ~ Soraya ~ "Mommy?" The familiar voice woke Soraya immediately. It was already morning, and the sun's rays seeped through the curtains of Sage's room. Soraya blinked a few times before focusing her gaze on her daughter. She smiled and cupped Sage's cheek. "Hey, how are you doing?" Instantly, Sage's eyes watered. Her lips quivered before she hugged Soraya tightly. It didn't take long for her to break down completely, her shoulders shaking with the weight of her sobs. "Mommy, | don't want Aunt Rose anymore. I'm sorry. I'm sorry for hurting you.

| promise | won't do it again." "| want to stay with you, Mommy, please. Don't leave me again, please." Sage buried her face in Soraya's chest. "I was wrong, Mommy. Please." Soraya's tears fell before she could stop them. Sage may have hurt her in the past, but none of it mattered now. She was still her daughter, and watching her cry was unbearable. "Are you sure you want to stay with me?" Soraya asked, and Sage nodded repeatedly. Soraya let Sage's tears run dry first. When Sage had calmed down, she explained, "Things are different now with me, Sage.

| also have my own family now." "Your own family?" Sage clarified with a frown. "Just like when your daddy married Rose, | also married someone else, someone | deeply love," Soraya explained. "So with him, | have a family now. We'd love for you to join us. You' Il have a sister, and-" ---- Soraya paused, caressing her stomach. "You'll have two brothers." "You're pregnant, Mommy?" Sage asked, and Soraya nodded. "Yes, with twins," Soraya shared. "Two boys." "Two boys?" Sage echoed.

"Look, sweetie, it might take a while for you to feel comfortable with my family, but getting to know them is a start," Soraya suggested. Sage fell silent. She looked teary-eyed again as she asked, " You can't go back to Daddy?" The question took Soraya aback. She shook her head and said, "No, | can't. Some things, once broken, can't be put back together." Yet again, Sage broke down in tears. She hugged Soraya tightly and asked, "Why, Mommy? Why? Do you hate me?" Soraya pulled her daughter closer. She also cried harder. "No, | will always love you because you are my daughter.

But after your daddy and | separated, | learned to love others too. Your father and | are no longer married, so we can't go back together." "Im so sorry, Sage. But no matter what, | will always be your mom," Soraya assured her. "But I'll miss Daddy too," Sage said, her voice trembling. "| know, | know." Soraya pecked Sage's forehead. "But you can always call him." Soraya cupped her face and said, "Think about it clearly.

Also, your dad may need time to fix things back at Cedar Heights." When Sage looked confused, Soraya explained gently, "Your dad and Rose are sorting some things out right now. You ---- should stay with me, even just for a while." Soraya didn't know how else to comfort her daughter, so she just held her until there were no tears left to cry. After what felt like an hour of consoling Sage, Soraya sat up. And just then, she felt one of the twins kick her belly. "Ouch!" She groaned, touching her stomach. "Are you okay, Mommy?" Sage asked. "One of the twins just kicked me," Soraya said.

"Are they bad?" Sage asked. Soraya chuckled. She reached for Sage's hand and said, "No, they're babies. They don't know they're hurting Mommy when they move." She let Sage feel her stomach, and it didn't take long for one of the twins to move again. "| felt it!" Sage said, her eyes widening. "So the babies are inside you?" "Yes, two of them," Soraya said. "Do you want to meet their father?" Soraya asked.

Sage looked at her, a little hurt, but then said, "Okay." Soraya guided her to the door, but before stepping out, Sage asked, "What if he won't like me?" "Sage, my husband is a really kind man," Soraya said softly. " He listens to people and understands them. But if you ever do something wrong, he'll talk to you about it so you can make it right." Eventually, they made it out of the room, and there, everyone waited for them, including Amanda and Cedric. They probably had heard Sage's cries because Amanda's eyes ---- were also red. Calum looked broken, and the same could be said for Cedric.

Then, Sage's gaze landed on Jacob. She pointed to him and said, "That's Daddys friend." "Yeah, yeah," Calum confirmed. He looked conflicted, but overall, he did the right thing. He knelt to Sage's level and rested his hands on her shoulders. "Your mommy married Daddy's friend. So, you can be sure that he'll take care of your mommy, and if-" Calum sucked in a deep breath, struggling to continue. He gulped and resumed, "And if you stay with them, | know you'll be safe too." "He's-" Calum motioned to Jacob, introducing him. "He's your Uncle Jacob.

You've met him several times, remember?" Sage nodded. She looked up to Soraya and asked, "Mommy married him?" Soraya smiled. "Yes, Jacob is now my husband." The couple didn't take Sage to meet Angela just yet. They were all rushing to get ready for the day. Soraya and Jacob returned home to get Angela ready for school. Both of them had several conference calls lined up until the afternoon. Later, all their guests came for an early dinner. Everyone had settled in the living room when Angela came running down from her room, eager to show Soraya her schoolwork. "Mommy, Mommy!" Angela called.

"| made a drawing As usual, Angela stumbled on a few words, but the glee in her eyes spoke volumes. "Oh, they're beautiful, baby," Soraya said, taking the paper. ---- Just then, Sage ran to her and hugged her by the waist. " Mommy." Angela leaned back and asked, "Mommy, why she call you Mommy?" "Angela, meet Sage," Soraya introduced. "She's your older sister." "A sister?" Angela reacted, eyes rounding. Angela had met Sage before, but never as her sister. Soraya could only hope, that in time, their hearts would find room for each other.
