Two years later.

A lot has happened in the last two years as you can probably imagine.

Our daughter Isabella, was born a year ago and Angelo adores her. Arianna had a lot more trouble during her pregnancy with Isabella, than Angelo, and our princess had to be delivered by C-Section; scaring the crãp out of me.

Angelo is two years old already, and such a ball of sunshine. He's very clever for his age, and a total mini version of me. I'm his idol and he's started imitating me, much to Arianna's amusement.

Melinda is now married to Bradley and she's pregnant with twin girls, almost ready to give birth. They are really happy and I'm pleased for them both.

Andre is seeing a new girl, Imogen, but at twenty six, I'm not sure he's ready to settle down completely just yet.

Amanda shocked us all by getting herself hitched in Vegas, on a friends hen-night. The fact he was a complete stranger pissêd me and Andre off, and she got an anullment soon after.

She's still single, and at twenty three seems perfectly happy being so.

Me and Arianna are happier than ever, I love her more everyday and even when we do argue - as couples do, we always apologise to each other, and let me tell you the makeup sêx is the best!

The trial of Marcus, Jade and Alexa went by smoothly. They were all charged with attempted murder, conspiracy and a few other charges, earning them each twelve years without parole.

I hired the best lawyer that money could get for us, and told him to get the longest sentence possible.

Me and Arianna were there everyday of the trial to see them put behind bars, and it was worth seeing the look on Jade and Alexa's face when they saw how happy we still were together.

Claire and Daniel moved to New York full-time after she had James, her second son. She's actually doing great and she's met Troy; a man who works for me at Grayson LTD. They are going steady, and he's great with her kids too, so I don't see a problem there.

Carlos is the one that surprised us all. He came out to us telling us he was gay. He even handed me his resignation thinking I'd be opposed to it.

I had no problem what-so-ever with his sexuality, and told him so very bluntly. His job was never an issue either, he's family to us now.

My company is doing exceptional, and I have more money than I'd ever aspired to get. Arianna's not bothered by the money and doesn't like it when I buy her expensive gifts; but I do anyway.

I love spoiling my family, and I'm so happy where we are today.

Arianna still works part time for me as my PA when I need her, but has also started up her own clothing line separately and I was reasonably shocked but pleased when Arianna'sAngel's took off, and became a big hit in the fashion world.

She was ecstatic by it too; and even models some clothes herself with the children from time to time.

She's always busy these days stretching herself between work, and taking care of the kids, too. She hadn't wanted to hire a nanny at all wanting to raise the children herself, but she was running herself into the ground trying to do everything. She'd relented, after nearly falling asleep at the wheel while driving home, scaring the shît out of herself and me.

Our nanny Ariel is lovely, she's fifty-five and a grandma herself. She adores Isabella and Angelo, and treats them as her own. She's a live-in nanny, and her and Carlos get on really well so everyone's happy.

I've decided to surprise Arianna tonight, and got Amanda and Andre to babysit them overnight, for some alone time together.

I'd already rang and asked what time she'd be home, and Carlos had cooked a delicious meal for us both that was nearly ready.

I'd changed into a nice shirt and slacks and couldn't wait to see her.

At nine p.m, like she'd said she arrived home, parking her car in the garage as usual.

Her face was priceless seeing the table set and the candles flickering that I'd lit when she entered into the kitchen.

"Wow!" I heard her mumble sounding awed.

I go to her and kiss her, stopping anymore talk. "Hungry?" I ask her as I reluctantly release her.

"This looks amazing Xavier. I never expected this, so thank you baby." She tells me happily.

"Anything for you, mio amore." I reply honestly. "I thought it was time for some 'us' time. Andre and Amanda are babysitting our monkeys tonight, so it really is just us." I tell her smirking at the heat in her eyes and feeling exactly the same.

We eat quickly, and after tidying away our plates we're soon in our room tearing each other's clothes off.

We spend the night in each others arms just spending quality time together.

Whispering 'I love you' to her and recieving one back before we fall to sleep, leaves me feeling like the happiest man on the planet, and I planned on it staying this way for the rest of our hopefully long lives together.

What more could I want anyway? I have a beautiful wife who I love, and loves me too. Two fantastic kids, and a close group of family members I'd do anything for.

My life was full and happy, and with Arianna by my side I felt complete.

The End.

A/N

Well this is finally it. It took me forever to write this, and I'm still not completely happy with it either.

Thanks for reading, and any votes will be amazing. Letting me know what you think of the epilogue would be great too?

Thanks so much. Becki xx ☺
