Epilogue
Miles
As the years passed, both of our boys graduated high school with honors, attended Columbia University, and came to work for Bradshaw Capital. This was their legacy, and I couldn’t have been prouder of them.
“Dad, I closed the deal with Hemingway,” Ben said, walking into my office.
“Excellent, son. Don’t forget family dinner is tonight.”
“I know. Mom already called me this morning.” He smiled. “Allie won’t be able to make it. She has classes.”
“How are things between the two of you?” I asked.
“Things are great. There’s something I want to talk to you about.”
“Okay.”
“I’m going to propose to her on her birthday next week. We’ve been dating for years now, and I love her so much and want her to be my wife.”
“That’s wonderful, son.” I stood up, walked over, and hugged him. “You already know we love her.”
“I know. She loves you guys, too.”
“Did you pick out a ring yet?”
“Yeah. I bought it a couple of days ago.”
“Wow, I can’t believe my son is getting married. Your mom is going to be over the moon. You better tell her tonight.”
“I will.” He chuckled.
I left the office and headed home. When I walked through the door, Stella wasn’t home yet from work. After changing my clothes, I heard her calling for me. Running down the stairs, I took her in my arms and kissed her.
“Sorry, I’m late,” she said. “I ran a little over with a patient.”
“No worries, sweetheart.”
“I stopped and picked up dinner for all of us. The boys should be here soon.”
“I’ll set the table,” I said, reaching up into the cabinet and pulling down the plates.
We heard the front door open and the voices of our boys.
“Hey, parents.” Brayden smiled.
“Hello, son.” I hugged him. “Hi, Delilah.” I hugged her.
Brayden and Ben kissed Stella’s cheek, and we all went into the dining room for dinner. Something was off with Brayden. He seemed nervous. As we were eating, he said he had an announcement to make.
“Mom. Dad. Ben. I asked Delilah to marry me, and she said yes.” He grinned.
Delilah placed her ring on her finger and held her hand out.
“Oh my God. That’s wonderful.” Stella beamed with excitement as she hugged her and Brayden.
“Congrats, bro.” Ben grinned. “Welcome to the family, Delilah.”
“I couldn’t be happier for the both of you.” I held up my glass of bourbon. “Congratulations.”
“There’s something else,” Brayden said. “Delilah is pregnant. We’re having a baby.”
After the boys helped clean up and left, Stella and I went upstairs and got ready for bed.
“We’re going to be grandparents, Miles,” Stella said.
“I can’t believe it, sweetheart.”
“Two weddings and a baby.” She climbed into bed and laid her head on my chest.
“We did good, don’t you think?” I kissed the top of her head. “We raised two wonderful and respectful boys who found the love of their lives and are starting their own families. I think we deserve a trip.”
“We were just in Italy for our anniversary a couple of months ago.” She laughed.
“We deserve another one. Block out some time from your practice because I’m taking you to the Maldives.”
“Can we get one of those over-the-water bungalows?” She lifted her head and stared at me.
“Yes. You know I’ll give you anything you want.” I stroked her cheek. “I love you, Stella.”
“I love you too, Miles.” She climbed on top of me, grabbed my arms, and held them over my head. “And I’m going to show you just how much.” Her lips met mine.
“Damn, I love when you take control.” I smiled.

BLURB:
Marley
My entire life changed when I met a hot and sexy billionaire named Charlie Stone at the Chicago airport. I wasn’t prepared for the journey I was about to embark on when I found out I was pregnant, which resulted from one drunken night neither of us barely remembered.
I was an independent single woman and event planner, making it on my own in New York City with the help of my two best friends, Penelope and Olivia. Thanks to my parents, I didn’t believe in love, and having kids was not part of my life’s plan.
Charlie made it clear he wanted nothing to do with being a father.
He couldn’t even commit to a relationship with a woman, let alone be a father.
I semi-accepted it and wanted to forget Charlie ever existed until I found out our one-night drunk fest resulted in twins.
There was no way I could raise twins on my own, so I didn’t give him a choice—he was going to take responsibility and be a father to the children his drunken little sperms created, whether he liked it or not.
The last thing I wanted was to fall in love with him. But it happened and freaked me out. We were two broken people who didn’t want kids, trying to prepare for what was to come: a whole lot of baby drama.
Charlie
Marley Monroe was beautiful, and I couldn’t resist her craziness. I should have because then I wouldn’t be in my predicament. After one drunken night together, she became pregnant—pregnant with twins.
I’d made a future for myself by starting Stone Game Ventures and becoming the billionaire I was—a happy bachelor, casually dating women with no strings or expectations. A commitment to someone was never my thing, and I ensured it would never happen.
Then Marley forced her way into my life and my penthouse. The next thing I knew, I was meeting her dysfunctional parents and having to play the happy role of the expectant father.
Despite her craziness, our fears of having children, and our living situation, I couldn’t help but fall in love with her.
She was the one woman in the world I let my guard down for, and my overprotective instincts kicked in.
The fear of losing someone I loved held its power over me since my parents tragically passed away.
It wasn’t just Marley I fell in love with. It was also my two children she carried inside her, and I would stop at nothing to ensure they were always safe, whether Marley liked it or not.
