"Well, yeah, I guess I've done pretty well for myself - not that I haven't worked hard for it though. I always did pretty well at school - I was always good at the rational subjects, but it was never those subjects that I enjoyed most - I had too much imagination, and it used to drive the teachers nuts. I still like to be creative now, even if the only chance I get these days is thinking up new and romantic ways to try and entertain my lovely wife, Rozena.

"I suppose some people do look at me and wish they'd got what I have, but I say what's the point of having it all without a woman to share it with? I can't say I was expecting to find someone at the speed-dating evening - but Rozena just blew me away. She was so...together. So ambitious, charming, fun-loving, and she's not bad to look at either! She knows what she wants and she's not afraid to say it, and I admire that. However, it wasn't until just before the wedding I realised just how far she was prepared to go to get what she wants. I have to say I had to think carefully about whether or not I should go through with the wedding when I found out how she'd used me and lied to everyone. But I blame Brian for leading her astray.

Just as I thought our life together was really getting on track though she landed the bombshell on me about Mickey Reynolds. I just didn't know what to think and I'll admit I didn't handle it well at first but it was the shock! She just kept pushing me away. She wouldn't come to Dubai with me and then she didn't even tell me she was pregnant! I thought that was the end of us, but then losing Adam...it seemed to bring us closer together. We'll never forget him but now we have another chance. We'll be great parents...I just can't wait to be a dad...if I could just get Rozena to stop fighting with Imran over the 'Jilani' legacy and take things easy!"
