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

    “I will need you to calm down, sir. Please trust me. We will handle this matter.” Stone’s voice was steady, but there was urgency beneath it. He stood close to Gabriel’s desk, watching him pace the large office like a restless man that had been provoked. Gabriel could not sit. He moved from one end of the office to the other, his long strides were too impatient. His fists clenched, then relaxed, then clenched again. His jaw was tight, his teeth grinding slightly as if he were holding back something dangerous. The message refused to leave his mind. Enjoy your win while it lasts. But get ready to lose your newborn. Every time the words replayed in his head, his chest tightened painfully. His breath grew heavier. His thoughts flew immediately to Isla. To the triplets. And to the fragile peace they had just found. Stone watched him closely. “Sir,” Stone said again, lowering his voice, “this is exactly what they want. They want you distracted. They want you to be angry and afraid.”

    Taking care of three babies was not easy at all. It was not something Isla could describe with just words. It was tiring, demanding, and sometimes overwhelming. Even with the help of three nurses and three nannies, sleep became a luxury she hardly enjoyed. Her nights were broken into short moments of rest. Her days were filled with feeding, cleaning, rocking, and worrying. But as the days slowly passed, Isla began to adjust. Motherhood no longer felt strange or frightening. She was learning. She was adapting. She was beginning to understand her children in ways no one else could. She could tell which cry belonged to Aurelian, which one meant Sebastian was uncomfortable, and which soft sound came from Elara when she needed to be held. The nurses eventually left. The doctors were satisfied with the babies’ growth and strength. They were healthy, strong, and doing far better than anyone had expected. The nannies remained, assisting Isla whenever she needed help. But Isla did not lea

    Soft beeping sounds filled the neonatal ward, steady and calm. The room smelled clean and warm, filled with soft lights and movements from nurses who passed by once in a while. Isla lay back against the hospital bed. Her body looked weak and tired, as if all the strength she had gathered for months had finally left her. Her skin was pale, and her lips were dry. But her face shone brighter than it ever had before. There was peace in her eyes together with pride. Gabriel sat beside her, holding her hand tightly, his thumb rubbed gently over her knuckles over and over and again. He had been sitting there for hours, refusing to move, refusing to rest. His eyes were tired, but they were full of love and disbelief. Together, both of them stared at the three new miracles placed right in front of them. Three cribs stood close to the bed where Isla lay. Each crib held a life. Each crib carried a story that should not have happened, yet did happen. The babies were strong. That was the firs

    “Gabriel?” Isla’s trembling voice called out again. Her voice was weak, broken, and filled with fear. Sweat covered her face. Her hair clung to her forehead, and her hands shook as they held tightly to the bedsheets. Another wave of pain rolled through her body, and this time, it was more excruciating. “I am with you, my love,” Gabriel answered immediately. His voice was calm, but his heart was racing. He stood close to her head, holding her hand firmly, as if letting go would make everything fall apart. “Just a second. I am here. I am not going anywhere.” Isla tried to nod, but she cried out instead. Her body arched as the pain grew stronger. “I am sorry, Mr Wyndham, but—” the doctor began. “Talk to me,” Gabriel snapped, turning sharply toward him. His eyes were red, his jaw tight. Fear flashed openly on his face. “You don’t need to hide anything from me. Say it.” The doctor paused. The room suddenly felt too quiet. Machines beeped softly, and nurses exchanged quick looks. The

    The strange sound that escaped Isla’s mouth was followed by another sharp cry. Her body jerked forward, and she clutched her stomach tightly, her face draining of all color. “Isla!” Gabriel shouted. He was beside her in seconds, dropping to his knees in front of her chair. His hands trembled as he held her face. “What is it? Talk to me. Please talk to me.” Her lips shook. “Gabriel… It hurts. Something is wrong.” Before anyone could react properly, another pain tore through her, stronger than the first. Isla screamed, her body curling inward as if trying to protect the baby inside her. The room erupted into chaos. “Call an ambulance!” John barked. “Now!” Gladys cried, already moving toward Isla. Gabriel did not hear anyone else. All he could hear was Isla’s cries. All he could see was her pain. He lifted her carefully, holding her against his chest. “I’m here,” he whispered again and again. “I’m here. You’re not alone.” By the time the ambulance arrived, Isla was already sh

    Isla slowly passed her phone to Gabriel, her fingers still trembling slightly. She did not trust her voice yet. Her heart was beating too fast, her chest rising and falling as if she had just run a long distance. Gabriel took the phone from her and leaned back in his seat. His eyes scanned the email. He repeated the process. His brows lifted slowly, and a small smile appeared on his lips. By the time he finished reading, his expression had completely softened. “Well,” he said gently, handing the phone back to her, “congratulations, my love.” Isla blinked, still stunned. “I think it was time we finally had that launch,” Gabriel continued. “Ten new investors, Isla. That is not small. That is huge. You really did it.” Isla swallowed hard. It was not just the number of investors that shocked her. No. Isla had seen powerful numbers while working with the Wyndham family. So, that was not the point. But this was different. This was hers, and this was her company. Her dream. The one s
