💮͓̽His Mistress💮

Five Years Of Us-Epilogue.

💎Angel💎

Five years later.

"Angel, Aryan!" Raul called out to me and our five-year-old daughter.

I crouched behind the couch, holding my five-year-old daughter close, my hand gently covering her mouth to stifle any giggles that might give us away.

Her gray eyes, so like mine, sparkled with mischief.

"This woman will be the death of me," Raul muttered, his footsteps pacing as he hunted for the room key we'd hidden.

For days, Aryan and I had been pranking him—our revenge for his broken promise to take us out last weekend.

When we teamed up, there was no escape for him, especially with Aryan as my partner-in-crime.

"Stay quiet for Mamá, okay?" I whispered.

Aryan nodded, her small hand squeezing mine.

We crept from our hiding spot, tiptoeing toward the stairs.

Before we could escape, two strong arms scooped us up, making us squeal.

"Got you!" Raul tossed us onto the couch, his fingers attacking our sides with relentless tickles.

Tears of laughter streamed down our faces as we squirmed.

"Papá!" Aryan shrieked, her excitement bubbling over.

Raul paused, lifting his overjoyed princess into his arms, kissing her cheek.

"You love pranking me, huh?" he teased. She nodded, her smile a mirror of mine, bright and infectious.

"Yes, Papá, and I'll keep doing it until you keep your promise!" she pouted, fiddling with the rings on his fingers.

"Alright, princess," he surrendered, his voice softening with guilt.

"How about I take you out this evening, and during winter break, we'll visit your grandma?"

Her eyes, wide and sparkling, lit up. "Really, Papá?"

"Really. Wherever you want today, and we'll spend Christmas with grandma."

She grinned, planting a kiss on his cheek.

"I love you, Papá!" She scrambled onto his lap, wrapping her arms around his neck.

"I love you too, princess," he murmured, kissing her back. She hopped down, tugging at my wrist.

"Mamá, let's get ready! Papá's taking us out!"

"Okay, princess, I'll be up soon," I said, smiling.

"Careful, Aryan!" we called in unison as she scampered up the stairs.

Before I could catch my breath, Raul pulled me onto his lap, his lips capturing mine in a deep, hungry kiss.

"I missed you, tesoro," he whispered against my mouth, his breath warm.

"You were gone six hours, Raul," I teased, pouting. "And I'm still sore from this morning, you know."

He chuckled, his voice low and teasing. "Even after five years, you're still not used to me, huh?"

His lips brushed my ear, sending a shiver through me.

Five years, and his touch still felt like the first day—electric, consuming.

"It's your fault for being so... intense," I murmured, a smile tugging at my lips.

He laughed, the sound rich and warm.

"Mamá! Papá!" Matteo, Aryan's twin, burst in, clutching two bags, his little legs stumbling. Raul caught him just before he hit the floor.

"Hijo," Raul said, pulling him onto his lap as I settled on his other thigh. "Careful."

"Look what Uncle Niko got me!" Matteo beamed, showing off his new toys, his eyes bright with excitement.

"Did you thank him?" I asked, brushing his dark curls back.

"Yes, Mamá! I gave Uncle a big bear hug!" His grin was contagious, and we both laughed.

"Go wait upstairs, and I'll give you a bath," I instructed. He nodded, kissing our cheeks before darting off.

Raul's gaze softened, locking onto mine.

"Thank you, Angel," he whispered.

"For what?" I asked, my voice quiet.

"For everything. For making me whole, for being in my life, for our beautiful children, and the ones still to come."

He rested his forehead against mine, his breath mingling with my own.

"No need to thank me, Raul," I said, my thumb grazing his cheek. "I'm the lucky one to have you."

"I love you so much, Angel," he confessed, his voice thick with emotion.

"I love you too, Raul," I replied, smiling as he cupped my face, drawing me into a slow, passionate kiss that felt like a promise.
