Sabrina’s POV As I gently lay Aubree down for bed, I can't help but reflect on the amazing day we've had. Michal and I exchanged glances, both of us feeling grateful for the unexpected but wonderful adventure. Being invited by Sebastian to join him and Shelly, along with their boys, felt like a blessing in disguise. I chuckle to myself, recalling how Shelly has tamed Sebastian down a few notches. I never imagined I'd witness such a transformation in him, but love works its magic in mysterious ways. Despite his reputation as the big, tough mafia boss, Shelly seems to have him wrapped around her little finger. It's quite endearing to see his softer side emerge, and it makes me believe that he truly has a heart, no matter how guarded it might be. Sydney, Australia, has captivated me with its beauty and magnificence. The vibrant cityscapes, stunning beaches, and lively culture create a breathtaking backdrop for our vacation. I'd never pictured myself exploring this incredib
Shelly’s POV Once we were all set up in the hotel and had a couple of drinks, we decided to venture out to the wildlife zoo and aquarium. I just knew the babies would love it. The thought of seeing all the animals like monkeys, elephants, tigers, and bears filled me with excitement. With Carter and Abel tucked snugly into their stroller, we made our way to the zoo entrance along with Sabrina, Michal, and their daughter, Aubree. The excitement was tangible as we joined the crowd of eager families and animal lovers. As we entered the zoo, the enchanting sounds of chattering monkeys greeted us. Abel's eyes widened in awe as he pointed towards the playful primates swinging from branch to branch. "Look, Mommy! Monkeys!" Aubree exclaimed, echoing Abel’s delight. Aubree squealed in agreement, bouncing in her stroller. "I think they like them," Michal chuckled, snapping photos of the children's first encounter with the furry creatures. The next stop was the elephant enclosur
Shelly’s POV We finally made it to the stunning city of Sydney, Australia, a place that feels like a slice of paradise with its breathtaking landscapes and vibrant energy. From the moment we stepped off the plane, we were enveloped by the city's warm embrace. The beauty here is absolutely captivating, and the charm of the people we encounter adds to the allure of this magnificent place. As we navigated through the bustling airport, our excitement matched the buzz in the air. The locals were incredibly welcoming, and their hospitality took us by pleasant surprise. We were showered with thoughtful gifts, a delightful assortment that spoke volumes about the kindness of the people here. Each gesture, big or small, reinforced the impression that we had arrived in a city where friendliness and generosity reign. The twins, wide-eyed with wonder, were over the moon when they received special treats from the locals. It was a touching scene to witness locals bending down to greet th
Sebastian’s POV ***** Yesterday's Excitement ***** I watched as Shelly’s eyes widened, a sparkle igniting when she spotted our sons’ onesies. Her initial expression was one of sweetness mingled with adorable confusion. Her brows furrowing slightly as she tried to piece together the unexpected scene before her. She couldn’t quite grasp why Carter and Abel wore different clothes from what she had dressed them in the night before. With curiosity piqued, Shelly picked up Carter and read the message on his shirt. Her puzzled look deepened for a moment, but as her gaze moved to Abel’s, comprehension dawned. A soft, gleeful gasp escaped her lips when she realized the hidden message I'd orchestrated a family surprise. Looking towards me, those big, beautiful blue eyes of hers locked with mine, seeking confirmation. Her gaze was filled with a mix of hope and excitement that only made my heart swell. I gave her a simple nod, affirming her suspicions. "Where are we going?" she ask
Shelly’s POV I can't help but feel like a total fool right now yes, a complete and utter fool. Would you like to know why I'm feeling like this? Oh, it's quite a tale, and it all starts with how I suspected my husband, Sebastian, had been acting unusually odd over the past few days. You see, I began to concoct all these scenarios in my head, convinced something suspicious was afoot. Now, let me explain; Sebastian had been mysteriously sneaking around, whispering on the phone and spending unusual amounts of time with Sabrina, our close family friend. Naturally, my mind veered toward the worst. I thought, maybe, just maybe, Sebastian and Sabrina were having a secret affair, tiptoeing behind mine and Michael's backs, Michael being Sabrina's boyfriend, as you already know. I lay awake many nights, worrying and overthinking, my imagination getting the better of me. I scrutinized every glance, every secretive conversation. I’m turning into a private investigator in my own ma
Sebastian's POV Surprising Shelly with a family vacation isn't exactly in my usual wheelhouse, but I've got this deep-seated urge to shake things up a bit and create some magical memories. It's time to organize a getaway, and our adventure will include not just Shelly and our boys, but also our close friends Michal, Sabrina, and their adorable daughter, Aubree. We're all practically family at this point, and I think this trip will be a fantastic way for us to bond even more. Planning a vacation that's kid-friendly can be a real challenge, especially when the children are one year old and younger. Every activity needs to be carefully thought out, and it all starts with choosing the right destination. This is where Sabrina comes into the picture. She and Shelly have been inseparable for years, with a friendship that's more like sisterhood. Sabrina knows al
