The Ex-Wife’s Billion Dollar Comeback Novel

---- Chapter 210: Father Again ~ Rose ~ In Rose's boutique at the Vanguard Galleria, huge posters were pasted on the glass windows. They read: [50% OFF]. Yes, Rose had to do a deep dive on her previous collection because her husband, Calum, filed a civil case to recover his investment of ten billion dollars! When she told him it was all gone, he didn't accept it. She was also shocked to learn that Calum could do that.

She thought their marriage would protect their marital assets, but according to the lawyers, since Calum invested in her fashion brand before the marriage, and had valid documents to prove it, his claim was valid. There was no point in contesting Calum. At best, she could negotiate what to offer him. While her three boutiques were barely earning fifty thousand dollars a month now, Luca's shop was constantly filled with new customers, each eager to buy his latest designs. "Hey!" Rose called out. "We are offering fifty percent off!" But none of the shoppers across the hall turned her way.

She was getting frustrated. She couldn't understand what made Luca's designs better. Rose walked slowly to Valmont Privée's boutique. She skimmed through a few dresses and instantly got upset. She wanted to try them on! She bit her lip in anger and was about to turn away when she overheard two employees talking. "Did you hear? Mr. Valmont has been invited to the Aurelia ---- Fashion Gala. We're meeting with the production team tomorrow to conceptualize the summer collection. We have two months to prepare for the show." "That's great! Mr.

Valmont is really talented." Rose's eyes rounded in jealousy. 'What did they say? Luca got invited to the Aurelia Fashion Gala?' She was furious! If Luca's collection will be featured in such a prestigious fashion show, his brand will easily be famous throughout the country! Meanwhile, Rose had just spent billions organizing her own fashion show in the capital, but Luca got invited to the fashion gala without even spending a dime? Why was the world so unfair? She looked around, trying to find fault in Luca's dresses, but sadly, there were none.

In fact, she was itching to buy the clothes right in front of her. Nearby, the boutique had a full-length virtual mirror that let customers see how dresses would look on them without trying them on. It was very modern, and many customers liked using it as an initial way to evaluate whether a dress would suit them. "He really is very talented," one employee said, "but | wonder who his investor is, because every time he talks about his success, he always mentions that he owes it to his investor." "Im curious too. The investor is very secretive.

But will this person be at the Aurelia Fashion Gala?" Rose picked up on the employees' conversation once more. She was intrigued. Luca Valmont had refused to join her fashion brand and was confident in his financial support. So, ---- who was this person? She returned to her boutique and opened her phone. She decided to call her textile supplier, Axel Davis. Axel was already a known textile and embellishment supplier across several states. He might not be as rich as Calum, but he had strong connections in the fashion industry. When Axel picked up, Rose begged, "Axel, please.

| need a ticket to the Aurelia Fashion Gala." "Are you kidding me? | only get two a year. I'm taking a date," Axel said. "Ican be your date," Rose offered. "Oh, right, since Calum is divorcing you," Axel said. The reminder made Rose grit her teeth. "Axel, please. | want to get better connected in the fashion industry." "Fine, I'll take you, but you'll have to sleep with me," Axel said, shocking Rose. Well, Axel had always shown interest in her.

Many times, he flirted with Rose, but in the past, she had always refused him, only taking advantage of his interest to get good discounts on her raw materials. But now, she wondered if getting access to the Aurelia Fashion Gala was worth losing her dignity for. She hesitated until Axel added, "I could get you knocked up and you can pin it on Calum." "You are crazy, Axel!" she snapped. "How can | pin it on Calum? He doesn't even see me!" "Im sure you're creative enough. Aren't you, Rose Becket?" Axel teased over the phone. "Alternatively, we could get married after your divorce.

You know I've always liked you, ---- Rose." Rose bit her lip. After giving it much thought, she said, "Sure. Okay. I'll be your date." "That's my girl," Axel said, chuckling. "I'll drop by your shop when I'm in Cedar Heights. The Aurelia Fashion Gala isn't until two months." seek ~ Jacob ~ Jacob had been away from his family for a month. Work was tough, but although it was lonely living by himself in Belridge and Cedar Heights, it gave him the focus he needed to get things done. M-Select made its grand official launch.

With ads running on social media and shoppers starting to buy, the Montclair Group's stock prices picked up again. Jacob's new big project, of course, was the Altum Coastal Expressway. His engineers had worked nonstop to finalize the conceptual design. Thankfully, not many changes were made to the initial draft they had submitted for bidding Arriving late at his villa in Nexa Power, Jacob found his wife fast asleep in bed. He bathed and joined her soon after. "Jacob?" Soraya murmured, her eyes half-open. "I'm here. I'm here for you and our babies," he said, smiling. Soraya smiled faintly.

"The doctor said | might deliver early. It's usually the case for multiple pregnancies." "We're ready," Jacob said, placing a hand on her stomach. "Oh, what was that-Ahah!" Jacob laughed as he felt a small kick against Soraya's belly. ---- When he pressed his hand closer, he was certain it was a tiny foot. He smiled at his wife. "It feels great." Leaning closer, he kissed her lips. "| missed you, my beautiful wife." "| miss you more, my handsome hubby," she said, smiling. "Did you check on Angela?" "Yes, | dropped by her room before coming here," he said.

"I'll be staying until you give birth. | need to be here when it happens." Of course, he was excited to be a father again, especially since this time, it was with the woman he loved the most. Soraya was already thirty-four weeks pregnant. Twin pregnancies often came early, yet every night, they prayed for just a little more time so their babies could grow stronger. Each passing day felt both precious and uncertain. But fate had its own timing. Two days before reaching thirty-six weeks, Soraya's water broke, and that day, though unexpected, became one of the happiest days of Jacob's life.

He carried both twins in his arms and, with tears in his eyes, told the nurse, "Miss, I'm a father again." The nurse laughed. She glanced at the twins and said, "Sir, there's no doubt you are a father!"
