“Don’t be shocked, Isla,” Alfred said with that faint, knowing smile of his. “There are things you don’t know about me. And today, I’ll tell you a little. Not because I want to, but because you deserve to know.”

He paused, gripping the handle of his cane before walking back to his chair. The slow rhythm of his steps echoed softly through the study. When he sat down, Isla quietly adjusted herself too, her fingers clasped tightly together on her lap.

“I’ve made many mistakes, Isla,” he began, his tone lower now, carrying the weight of regret. “And now, I want to correct those mistakes before I leave this world.”

He leaned back slightly, staring at nothing in particular as his mind seemed to drift to a time long gone.

“My son, John, was in love with a beautiful woman. Her name was Janet. She was an orphan, simple but graceful. But I… I thought she wasn’t good enough for him.”

Isla’s lips parted slightly. Her chest rose and fell with shallow breaths as she tried to digest the revela

  • THE EXTRAORDINARY BRIDE OF THE WYNDHAM FAMILY    0113

    The dining room was quiet except for the soft clinking of cutlery against porcelain. The golden chandelier above them cast a warm light that shimmered off the glass table. Gabriel and Isla ate in silence, both lost in thought. Every minute, their eyes met—It was brief and it said everything words couldn’t. There was something unspoken between them. A lot actually. For Gabriel, his thoughts were simple yet heavy. He wanted Isla to feel at home here, in their new beginning. But he could sense her discomfort every second—not unhappiness, but the unease of a woman who wasn’t used to being waited on. Isla had always been independent, the kind who preferred doing things herself. Yet now, in this grand house full of staff ready to serve her every need, she was learning to accept help, even if it didn’t sit easily with her. For Isla, her heart was burdened by a different kind of weight. Guilt. She thought of Alfred’s confession, of Gabriel’s real mother, and the secret she was forced to

    Gabriel kept cursing under his breath, while Isla kept moaning his name. He wasn't moving yet. He just stayed still. His hands framed her face, his thumbs tracing her cheeks as if she might disappear if he let go. The intimate position was intense. Her fingers were dragging at his shoulder; she wanted more of him; she wanted him to move. But Gabriel didn't rush; he simply felt her warmth. The shivers that trembled through her body, the soft broken sound that left her mouth whenever he moved his hips. “Gabriel…” she whispered, her voice fragile and wanting. Her fingers gripped his shoulders, holding him close as if she were afraid he’d slip away. His movements were slow and deliberate. “Isla, you're too tight and slick.” He groaned. “You drive me insane. I can go on and on like this and will always want more of you.” He pressed a kiss to the top of her head. His thrusting was slow and gentle. The sensation was getting insane in those slow movements. Isla had never thought that

    The kiss was sensual—It was slow and deliberate. It burned with so much passion. She was on the verge of swearing that he had never kissed her in such a manner before. It was as if he was sucking and licking her tongue like a lollipop as his mouth drank her in. He swallowed her gasping and moaned, and his hands steadied her posture. He ensured her legs were not under any strain. The weight of her was just resting on his hand. His other hand was behind her head, holding her there as their tongues danced together. Her core was twitching, begging for attention. But his every attention was on her mouth and tongue. He knew that he had never kissed her this much, this long before. He has never kissed any woman this much before. Isla's hands clutched at his shirt, desperately seeking support. Despite this, his grip provided sufficient support for her. But she needed to touch him. She desired to experience a deeper connection with him. Her desperation was alarming now. She pulled clo

    “Please don’t cry now,” Gabriel said softly, brushing a tear from the corner of her eye. “You’ll kill the fun.” Isla let out a small giggle, her voice trembling between laughter and disbelief. “Gabriel…” she called again, this time louder, her tone full of emotion. Just then, the car slowed and came to a gentle stop. Isla turned her gaze forward—and her entire body froze. Her mouth dropped open. “No,” she breathed. “This… this can’t be real.” Right in front of them stood a breathtaking sight. It was a massive, circular water fountain that looked almost alive, cascading like a miniature waterfall. Sunlight set across the rippling surface, splashing golden reflections across the marble driveway. Beyond it rose a three-story mansion, grand and elegant, the kind of home that looked like it had been pulled straight from a fairytale. Gabriel’s driver, Stone, stepped out and opened the door. Isla, too impatient to wait, climbed across Gabriel’s lap to get out first. Her sudden move c

    As Gabriel’s car approached a tall silver gate, Isla’s eyes widened in awe. The bold golden letters shone under the morning sun: WHALE ESTATE. The massive gate slid open automatically, revealing a glimpse of luxury that left her breathless. Thomas, their chauffeur, guided the sleek black car through the entrance, driving slowly into the grand estate that housed some of the most stunning mansions in all of Carminton. Isla leaned toward the window, her hands pressed lightly against the tinted glass. Her smile spread wide, full of wonder. She watched the streets lined with towering palm trees swaying gently in the cool breeze. She could already imagine what this place would look like at night, with the warm streetlights and silver gates shimmering in the dark. Beside her, Gabriel watched her quietly. The way her eyes lit up, the way her lips curved with genuine happiness—it melted him. “Do you like what you see?” he asked softly. She turned to him, her electric blue eyes sparkli

    “Chris, cancel all my meetings until further notice,” Gabriel instructed over the phone, his tone calm but firm. “Another thing—” he added, pausing briefly as he turned toward the window, “I won’t be around for a while. A week, maybe. Just handle things over there. Alright, bye for now.” He ended the call and let out a soft sigh, staring out at the city below. It had been three days since he started taking care of Isla himself. Even though she still suffered from bouts of morning sickness, she was clearly getting better. Maybe it was because he never left her side, or maybe because he made sure she ate properly. Whatever the reason might be, she no longer looked pale or weak. She looked radiant now and her skin glowing, her face brighter. She looked more alive now. Today was a special day. He had promised that they would finally move into their new house. Despite her occasional mood swings and quiet attitude toward him, Isla was genuinely excited. Her heart fluttered with joy
