Chapter 18 - Proposing marriage to the mother of his four children during a quiet sunset walk along the beach in the Hamptons.
As the summer drew to a close, Julian rented a private oceanfront estate in the Hamptons for a weekend getaway.
While the four boys slept peacefully inside after a long day of swimming, Julian invited Maya for a walk along the shore.
The waves crashed gently against the golden sand as the setting sun painted the sky in shades of pink, orange, and purple.
Julian stopped walking, taking both of Maya’s hands in his and looking deeply into her eyes with intense emotion.
"Seven years ago, I lost the best thing that ever happened to me because I was too weak to stand up to my mother," Julian began.
He sank down onto one knee in the sand, pulling a simple, breathtaking diamond ring from his jacket pocket.
"I don't want a high-society wedding, Maya... I just want you, our boys, and a lifetime of loving you properly," he whispered.
Tears streamed down Maya's cheeks as she looked down at the man who had proven his love through relentless action and devotion.

"Yes, Julian... yes!" Maya gasped, pulling him up and kissing him passionately as the ocean breeze wrapped around them.
