The Ex-Wife’s Billion Dollar Comeback Novel

Jacob- So this is Rohan Sharma , ' Jacob silently said . Of course , he remembered that night at the gala , when the Sharma couple suggested Soraya could marry their son . As it turned out , Elizabeth and Arvind Sharma made such a proposal not just because they liked Soraya , but because their son did . Jacob could tell by the look on Rohan's face . The moment he spotted Soraya , his gaze mostly lingered on her .

There was a sparkle in his eyes , a quiet intensity , as if he were seeing her for the first time all over again . His lips curved into a subtle , almost involuntary smile , and his posture straightened , betraying a mixture of awe and admiration . Even from across the room , it was clear he was captivated , every detail of her drawing his attention without him realizing it . Then came the comment that made it even clearer . " You look more beautiful than the last time we met .

Not only that , his heritage lent him a unique , arresting look that made him stand out . He could not help but turn to Soraya and observe her reaction . She flushed . For a while now , Jacob honestly assumed only he could make her blush . Jacob unwittingly turned to Calum .

To his surprise , Calum's brows met , and the way he maintained his gaze on the doctor suggested something else . Calum was … clearly wary . And as for Amanda and Cedric ? They were stunned . When the doctors left the room , Amanda immediately asked , " Soraya ? What was that ? " " Um , Mom , it's like he said - we've met before because I used to work for Aegis Core Systems .

Rohan had naturally visited his parents ' company back then , before he left the country to pursue further research in cardiovascular diseases ." Soraya's brows knitted . " Although … I didn't know he owned a research facility . Mr. and Mrs. Sharma never mentioned it ." " He seems to like you , " Cedric Montclair suggested . " Good catch , Soraya , " Amanda remarked . " I like him . He has a very bright future ahead .

" Jacob , " … " " Mother , do not humiliate me in front of Jacob , " Calum warned . " He doesn't see Soraya that way . We are friends . " Before anyone could react , a nurse walked into the room . She said , " We will be taking Mrs. Montclair to the operating room in a few minutes . Please be ready . " " I guess that's our cue to leave , " Jacob said , standing up . Calum also got up . He said to his father , " Greg has some documents for me to sign at the lobby .

I'll be with you , Dad , in a while . " Soraya said goodbye to Amanda . She promised , " I'll check back with you after your operation ." " Thank you , Soraya , " Amanda said , smiling .

" He likely left the Montclair elders puzzled , but he turned away anyway and followed Calum and Cedric down the hall .

Immediately , Jacob's gaze darkened . " Soraya , I'm glad I caught up with you , " Doctor Sharma said . " What are you doing here ? Aren't you supposed to be in a scrub suit by now ? " Soraya asked .

How are you related to the patient ? " " Um ." Soraya frowned . " They were our neighbors ." " Oh . For a moment , I was worried they were your in - laws , " Rohan said , smiling . " I heard you are divorced . " " She's not yet divorced , " Calum interrupted , surprising Jacob and Soraya .

But , at the same time , her smile looked genuine . Jacob was normally confident , but at that moment , he felt shaken . Then he saw the hurt on Calum's face .

' Why was Calum doing that ? ' he thought . Jacob felt his friend did not deserve to feel hurt . After all , Calum was the one who had hurt Soraya badly , in more ways than one . " Good , " Doctor Rohan said . " Mother said you agreed to have dinner with me . I'll definitely pursue you , Soraya . " Soraya stuttered . Before she could answer , the hospital's PA system called Doctor Rohan's attention . " Dr. Rohan Sharma , please report to Operating Room 1. " " Dr.

That's when Jacob said , " You agreed to have dinner with him ? " Soraya sighed . She said , " I - I couldn't say no to Mr. and Mrs.

Sharma . Besides , it's only supposed to be a friendly dinner . " " A friendly date , " Jacob echoed , his jaw clenching . " Define a friendly dinner ." " You know , we will just talk while eating , " Soraya described . " You are not going to this friendly dinner ," Jacob snapped . Soraya turned to him in shock . She said , " Jacob ? Do not dictate me . Besides , I owe Elizabeth and Arvind a great deal . They even allowed me to buy shares for Aegis Core Systems ! It has always been my dream .

" Jacob turned to her , surprised . " Yes , yes . I am now officially a shareholder , but I still owe Mr. and Mrs. Sharma twenty - five million dollars for the shares , " Soraya revealed . " Yet , the shares are already in my name . " " Is this what it's all about ? So you will have dinner with him because you owe his parents ? " Jacob asked .

" 76 % +15 " Look , I'll just have dinner with him , okay ? " Soraya insisted . " Besides , I need some private time to tell him that I don't like him that way . " " What way ? " Jacob clarified . " You know , in a romantic way , " Soraya responded . She looked around and added , " We really shouldn't be arguing in public .

" They soon spotted Jacob's car , and they both got inside . As Jacob put on his seatbelt , he mused , ' She doesn't romantically see Rohan , but what about me ? ' He badly wanted to ask . Whatever was going on between them remained unclear . But then again , it was his job to put a name to it , not Soraya . He knew this well . At the same time , he didn't want to pressure her , especially since she wasn't technically divorced yet . " Fine , you can have dinner with him ," Jacob agreed .
