Billionaire's Revenge (33 page)

Three months after they moved in together, the two
married
.  Carly
the cutest flower girl
as
Dari
us lifting her as the
two exchanged their vows, the small girl wrapping her arms around the man she
had
grown to
call
her
father, Sara sure that her life was perfect.

The information she
found on Nick
had
soon seen Darius’ detective locating her brothe
r-in-law. 
He
having
been hidden the whole time
in his girlfriend
’
s house, the money still untouched.  Nick
had
been brought to see Darius, Sara never asking or being told what happened within the confines of her husband’s office. 
With a smile she
knew
just how ‘persuasive’ Darius could be.  She only knew that after their meeting he
was
allowed to walk free on condition that he retu
rn all of the money and grant
Angela a divorce and full custody of her son.

A year later Angela
married J
oe
, Sara finding that her
sister had
become a different person married to the kind and gentle man.  Not only was she happy, but David too
flourished
, Joe
a wonderful father to him.
 

That day she
waited for Darius’ return
home
.  Away for a week on business, she
missed him
terribly
,
Sara knowing from the many calls and texts that he felt the same way.  The sound of the key in the door saw
Carly jumping to her feet, the small girl having refused to go to bed before her dad arrived home, her long blonde hair swinging d
own her pink pyjamas
.

“Daddy...daddy”
,
she
cried, running
to the door
, her excitement making Sara smile softly as she rose
to follow.  By the time she
reached the hallway Carla was already perched
i
n her father
’
s arm
s
,
clinging to yet anoth
er teddy bear.  Grimacing softly she
moved forward her mouth curved into a large smile
.
 
“Yep...just what she needs...another bear
”
Carly
holding it out for her to examine as she
declared so seriously
,
“But ...this one has a pink heart mummy”
 

With e
yes full of adoration, Darius
moved his arms around his wife
’
s waist, kissing her tenderly as the small girl
rolled her eyes seeing the two kiss once more.
 
“I missed you Mrs Garelli”
,
his mouth whi
spered so sensually against hers as she gave
a soft
half-
groan
,
half-growl back.
 
“I missed you too
”
Their
eyes locked, full of emotion.  Stepping back and releasing Sara, he
once more turned to his daughter “Now let me guess...you are not in bed because you made mummy let you stay up till I g
ot home”.

With a giggle
,
she
nodded, her whole body moving as her head
bobbed backwards and forwards.  With a wink at Sara he
strode up the stairs carrying the small child, all the while talking to her, throwing Sara a big smile as he
called
down “OK...I will put
you to bed while mummy opens what is in the bag for her”

As the two
disappeared, Sara
opened the small case grinning at the bottle of expensive champagne
-
still chilled
-
which sat within it.  Moving to the kitchen she
place
d the pre
-
plated meals
on the table
, opening the expensive wine and pouring them drinks.  By the time Darius
joined her she
had
lit candles and put on soft music, the mood perfect for what was to come.

Stepping into the kitchen, he
paused to look a
t his wife.  Still the
most beautiful woman he
had
ever met, with a heart big enough to help all those who needed her.  Since marrying Sara, life
had
been
better than he could ever remember, so glad that their lives
had
reconnected.  Not one to normally
believe in fate, he
knew
that something wonderful
had
been responsible for what
happened between them both. 

“Now Mrs Garelli...As much as I appreciate the effort you have put in with the food...there is something that I would like much more at thi
s moment”
,
a seductive teasing smile on his handsome mouth,
Sara allowing him to wrap his arms around her and pull her in tightly for a kiss.  Even after two years, he
only
needed
to touch her for her to melt, Darius
the love of her life. 

However, tonight she was on a mission, and pulling back slightly she
laughed softly dragging him to the table with her
. 
“No...
Tonight
we eat first”
,
ignoring his playful pout as he
sat down beside her
.
 
“
OK
.
.
.OK...but just know that I am viewing this as foreplay”
,
his voice full of laughter as he
lifted her hand to kiss along her knuckles.  Looking at the glasses, one glass was filled with the
effervescent
champagne, the bubbles still fizzing up to the top of the glass.  The othe
r was filled with milk, D
arius frowning questioningly as she
gave
a shy smile.

“I have a present for you
”
He
lifted the small wrapped gift, pulling the ribbon from it and tearing at the paper like a child.  Smiling at the box he
flashed
he
r a
humorous smile
. 
“I hope this is car keys for that new Lamborghini I was eyeing up
”
Sara
shook her head, her eyes shining with expectation.
 
“Nope...might actually change your mind about that particular car”
 

Lifting the lid
,
his brow
knitted in
surprise
at the small plastic stick within, his eyes searching hers with confusion before realisation
hit him, his eyes flying back to the box seeing the small word positive, his voice choked as he
once more looked at her.
 
“Sara?
”
his
t
one full of wonder as she
smiled widely at him once more, her head nodding softly
.
 
“I saw the doctor yesterday...you are going to be a father...again”

This time Darius had
been unable to stop himself as he
moved around the table,
his
arms enveloping his wife as he lifte
d her high against himself.  Pulling back slightly his hands
held her cheeks as he
rained
small kisses all over her face, Sara
smiling as the two
laughed and cried together, both so happy.

“I love you Sara Garelli”
,
he whispered, as she
wrappe
d
her arms around his neck and kissed him back, his arms sweeping her into his as he
strode back up the stairs. 
Neither
car
ing
about the untouched food on the table.
