The man opened his mouth, he wanted to say something, but no words came out. He saw the fire in Gabriel’s eyes, the kind of authority that dared no one to cross him. Gabriel’s presence alone was intimidating.

Isla stood frozen. Her lips parted to speak. But she decided against it. Betsy’s eyes flicked between them, and we're wide with shock, her glass still in her hand.

“Sweetheart,” Gabriel said softly. “We’re leaving now.” His gaze locked with Isla’s.

Sweetheart? Since when? Isla’s mind raced. Her heart skipped a beat, not out of love, but out of disbelief. He had never called her that before. What game was he playing now?

Still, she decided to play along. She didn’t want to embarrass him in public, not in front of his business partners, not in front of strangers who might know them. They were the Wyndhams, after all. A scandal here would spread like wildfire.

“Okay… fine,” Isla murmured. She turned to Betsy and forced a small smile. “Babes, we’ll meet on Monday.”

  • THE EXTRAORDINARY BRIDE OF THE WYNDHAM FAMILY    0201

    Gabriel stood in the hospital room and explained everything he had learned from Miss Adams. He did not hide a single detail. He told his parents about the camera inside Desmond’s wristwatch, about Uriel, about Adrian, and about the shocking truth that Uriel was his twin brother. Gladys was awake now, sitting up slightly on her hospital bed. Her face looked pale, but her eyes were wide with shock as she listened. “It can’t be,” she muttered weakly. “How is that even possible?” She shook her head slowly, trying to understand what she was hearing. “They told me only one son survived,” she continued, her voice trembling. “They told me Gabriel was the only one who lived.” John, who had been quiet all this time, suddenly looked straight at her. “Gladys,” he said slowly, “do you remember how many children you gave birth to that day?” Gladys frowned deeply, as if searching through painful memories. “Yes,” she replied. “I remember clearly. I gave birth to three babies.” She swallowed

    Stone took the locket from Miss Adams the moment she handed it over. His face stayed calm, but his movements were fast and careful, like a man who already expected anything. “If my son’s wristwatch had a camera inside,” she said softly, “then this locket must have something too. The same man gave us both on the same day. I thought they were gifts… but now I know they were never gifts.” Stone gave a short nod and walked out of the room immediately. He needed privacy to examine it. Now, only Gabriel and Miss Adams were left in the quiet room. The silence felt heavy. She took a deep breath, then spoke again. “I used to be a local actress,” she said. “I also worked as a stunt double.” Gabriel’s eyes widened slightly. Now he understood why she had looked familiar from the beginning. He had searched his memory many times, trying to place her face. “So that’s where I’ve seen you,” he thought. “A man came into my life,” she continued. “And he stole my breath away. I fell deeply in

    Miss Adams lay quietly on the hospital bed, staring at the beautiful patterns carved into the ceiling of the VIP room. The designs were elegant and expensive, but she did not see beauty in them. Her chest rose and fell too fast, her breath uneven, as her thoughts stayed on one thing only. Her son. Desmond. Was he safe? Was he scared? Did he think she had abandoned him? All these things occupied her mind. The door to the room opened softly, and her heart jumped. She turned her head immediately, her eyes locking on the entrance. Two men walked in. She recognized one of them at once. Gabriel Wyndham, her boss’s husband. The man who looked so much like her son that it had always scared her. The other man beside him was tall, firm, and carried a dangerous calm around him. His eyes were sharp, cold, and observant. She did not know him, but everything about him screamed authority. Fear rushed through her body. Her hands began to shake as they stepped closer. Isla was not with them.

    “What happened to my father, Stone?” Gabriel’s voice came out low and strained as his eyes took in the scene before him. John and Gladys lay on two separate hospital beds, placed side by side in the same private room. The soft beeping of heart monitors filled the air, steady but frightening. Tubes were attached to John’s body, more than Gladys had. Machines surrounded him, quietly doing the work his body was struggling to do on its own. Seeing his father like this, with bandages all around his head made something tighten painfully in Gabriel’s chest. “They were kidnapped,” Stone said calmly, but his eyes were serious. “Your father was badly injured.” Gabriel clenched his jaw. “I believe Wyatt was deeply involved,” Stone continued. “We will know the full truth once your father is strong enough to speak clearly.” Gabriel closed his eyes. For a few seconds, he said nothing. He simply stood there, breathing slowly, trying to steady himself. When he opened his eyes again, he walke

    Chuckle. Chuckle. Chuckle. That was all John did. The sound echoed softly inside the large, cold room, bouncing off the bare walls and tiled floor. The room smelled of damp concrete, dried blood, and something more disgusting. John and Gladys sat on the floor, their backs pressed against the wall. Their hands were tightly bound behind them, and their legs were tied together with thick rope. There was no way out. Even the small windows were tightly sealed up. The white shirt John wore was no longer white. It was soaked with dried blood that had darkened into a deep red. His lips were split, his face bruised, and blood still leaked slowly from the corner of his mouth. Yet, even in this broken state, he still looked strikingly handsome. And he was laughing as if he had not been tortured enough. It was a dry, mocking chuckle, filled with pain and defiance. “You know you are not funny, John,” a middle-aged woman with chestnut short hair and blue eyes snapped angrily. She stood
