A few months later, Dimitri, Aurora, and Enzo had gone on a vacation on one of the islands owned by the Santoris family. Dimitri had always wanted to take her away to a small getaway. But one thing or another always pops up, and their plans keep getting delayed.

As soon as they landed, Aurora was in awe. Aside from their honeymoon, she had never been anywhere but the city. And this island was just as beautiful as the last, if not better.

"I really love this place Dimitri, is this one of your islands?" she asked. Dimitri had hugged her from behind as they looked out over the beach.

"Hmm.. yes, it's a very special place, and it's one of our islands. Whatever belongs to me, belongs to you too.

We own a lot more than just this resort, and one of these days, we will get to visit all of them. We can take a family trip whenever you want," he nuzzled her neck.

"That's a great idea, it would be nice to get away from the bustling city from time to time," she placed her hand in his, relishing their time together.

Enzo had been very enthusiastic to go on this very special vacation, he went about investigating his new surroundings, playing on the sand with his new toys.

On the fifth day, Dimitri mysteriously instructed Aurora to get ready for a candlelit dinner, disappearing on her before she could even finish showering. He took Enzo with him, and his excuse was that he wanted to be at the venue to check on something.

When Aurora walked down to the lobby, in her deep green figure hugging dress she noticed there were rose petals that were leading her to the venue. The candles placed along the path, lit her way into the most romantic setting she had ever seen.

At the end of the path, Dimitri and Enzo stood side by side wearing the same suit and green tie, like her dress. Their hair was styled the same way, and their stance a carbon copy of each other. Dimitri looked dashingly handsome, while Enzo looked adorably cute, a total miniature of his father.

She was giddy with excitement, "Aww look at you guys, you are so cute. What is all this?" surprised that a candlelit dinner could be this extravagant.

"Sweetheart, you look so gorgeous," he extended his hand to pull her over for a hug. This overwhelming feeling he had whenever he looked at her always shot him in the heart.

"I cannot wait to tear this dress off tonight," he whispered seductively in her ear. Aurora blushed, and for a second, she forgot that their son was standing with them.

"Mama, mama," Enzo pulled at her dress so he could tell her something, "So pretty," he said as he kissed her cheek like his father did.

She was delighted so much with her dinner surprise that she could not eat properly. One surprise just kept coming after another, from the dishes they were serving to the quartet that started playing her favorite song.

When the dessert trolley came, she was astonished to see a big cake with sparklers on it. 'Happy Birthday' was written across the icing.

"Dimitri, today is not my birthday," she insisted, feeling bad that maybe Dimitri might have written the wrong date down.

But Dimitri made sure to know everything about her, and he did not make a mistake."No sweetheart, today is your real birthday, the day when your mom gave birth to you, not the one you were assigned."

She was teary-eyed, even though they assigned her a so-called birthday, the orphanage never celebrated it, so she never gave it any importance.

"Happy Birthday sweetheart, may we spend all your birthdays together as a happy family," he kissed her cheeks.

"Mama, happy birthday! I love you!," Enzo copied his father yet again as he kissed her too.

"Aww... thank you, baby," she said as she dabbed her eyes.

She didn't notice that Dimitri was on his knees beside her, until he spoke, "Aurora, you came into my life unexpectedly, and since then you have occupied a special place in my heart. I really regret missing out on spending the last 5 years with you together, but this only taught me to cherish you more.

It was our fate to meet again, and as promised, I had to make you mine. I love you so much sweetheart, more than anything in this world. We got married too soon, applying for the certificate just so I can bind you to me, but you deserve so much more. So I want to give you the wedding you will never forget.

I know it's your birthday, but I'm asking if you would grant me this gift. Will you marry me?" Dimitri asked.

"Mama, say yes, Dada loves you" chimed their little angel.

Her cheeks were numb, she had been smiling so much the whole night, and this proposal just topped off everything. How could she say no to the love of her life proposing in such a manner?

"Yes, I will. You are the best gift I've received in my life, and I am beyond grateful for that," she answered.

Dimitri and Aurora did not hesitate to kiss passionately in front of Enzo as he shyly covered his eyes.

Her heart was thudding so hard that she imagined she could hear people applauding and cheering behind them, and when she peeked, the whole Santoris clan was present behind him, including Violet. And as more clapping resonated behind her, there was her family.

"Oh my gosh, everyone is here. How did you pull this off?" she asked as she waved all of them over.

"It was with great difficulty, especially when it seemed like you were catching on to our plans. Your parents told me it was your birthday when I presented my plan to them, so I thought why not do both on the same day with both our families to make it more memorable.

I think there was a reason our wedding got delayed, it was so your family could be part of it," he explained.

Dimitri was right, this was the happiest and most memorable birthday of her life. "Thank you for bringing everyone together and making this possible. I love how you always think about making me happy," she kissed his cheek after everyone had congratulated them.

"Sweetheart, you don't need to thank me, it's my duty to always make you happy. You just need to keep on loving me," he replied as he wrapped his arms around her.

"That I will," she buried her face in his chest.
