“What is going on?” Stone asked sharply as he turned to his men. His voice was calm, but the tension in his eyes said otherwise.

One of the guards stepped forward immediately. “Sir, during the search, we found a phone on each of these women. The phones are now in our custody. But when we searched their rooms,” he paused and pointed at the two boxes in the hands of the women, “we found these boxes hidden in their bedrooms. You need to see what is inside them yourself.”

Stone raised one brow slowly. His instincts were already screaming.

“Open them,” he ordered.

The two women understood immediately. With shaking hands, they stepped forward and dropped the boxes on the floor in front of Stone. As they bent slightly to open them, something strange happened.

They locked eyes.

It was quick. Too quick.

Before anyone could react, both women moved at the same time. Their hands flew to their mouths. They pushed something inside instantly.

“Stop—!” one of the guards shouted.

But it was t

  • THE EXTRAORDINARY BRIDE OF THE WYNDHAM FAMILY    0230

    By the time Gabriel and Isla arrived at the hospital, everything had already changed. Betsy had given birth. She had brought a beautiful baby girl into the world. The room felt different from the moment they stepped inside. It was calm, warm, and filled with a quiet kind of happiness that could not be forced. The air carried soft sounds—machines beeping gently, low voices, and the faint breathing of a newborn. Betsy lay on the hospital bed, her face pale but glowing. Sweat still clung to her skin, and her hair was slightly messy, but she looked peaceful. There was a tired smile on her lips, the kind that came after pain she went through. Beside her bed stood a small cradle. Inside the cradle lay the baby. She was wrapped in a soft white blanket, tiny and fragile, yet very real. Her little hands moved slowly, and her eyes were open, wide and curious, taking in the world for the very first time. Ben stood beside the cradle, frozen in place. One of the baby’s tiny fingers was wr

    Gabriel and Isla arrived at the site of the new city she had started building before she left. The car slowed to a stop, and before Isla could even ask questions, Gabriel made sure that the thin black cloth he tied over her eyes blocked her sight completely. When the car door opened, Gabriel stepped out first and then carefully helped Isla down. He stayed close to her, his hand firm around hers, his other arm resting securely around her waist. Six bodyguards stood around the area, spread out in a careful formation. Their eyes moved constantly, scanning the environment, checking every angle, every movement, making sure there was no threat nearby. The place was quiet, but their alertness never dropped. “Easy,” Gabriel said softly as Isla took a step forward. At that moment, Gabriel was her guide and her sight. His grip on her hand tightened slightly, and his arm around her waist became firmer. He was doing that so she doesn't trip or lose her balance, not even for a second. A cold

    There are things in this world that are far more precious than diamonds and gold. No matter how much people struggle, chase power, or fight for wealth, family will always come first. Money can be lost and replaced, but blood, love, and connection cannot be bought. Just a few seconds ago, John felt like the weight of the whole world was pressing down on his shoulders. His heart had been through fear, anger, grief, and shock all in one day. He had faced betrayal, gunshots, and near loss. But now, standing in the same room with his third son alive, his eldest son Gabriel returned, and his beloved daughter-in-law Isla safe and glowing, his joy could not be measured. For the first time in a long while, his heart felt full. Gladys was the first to react. She jumped up from her seat as if her body moved before her mind could process it. “Isla?” she cried out. “Oh my God… Isla, you’re back!” Her voice broke as she rushed forward. Tears filled her eyes as she pulled Isla into a tight embr

    Carl truly looked like Gabriel. Anyone who did not know them well would easily mistake one for the other. They shared the same sharp features, the same strong jawline, and the same commanding presence. But when one looked closely, the differences appeared. Carl’s hair was lighter, his eyes softer, and his smile came easier. Gabriel was taller, broader, and carried the weight of responsibility in every step he took. Because of these small details, it was always easy for those who knew them well to tell the brothers apart. But the man standing at the door was neither Carl nor Gabriel. Still, at first glance, anyone would swear he was Gabriel Wyndham. He had the same dark hair, the same sharp eyes, and the same quiet strength in his posture. Even the way he stood—straight, alert, and guarded—was exactly how Gabriel stood. The resemblance was so strong it made everyone freeze in shock. John felt his knees weaken. His heart pounded loudly in his chest as his vision blurred. Tears fi

    Carl was rushed out of the wedding hall immediately. The sound of sirens filled the air as the ambulance sped away from the Wyndham estate, carrying Carl inside, fighting to stay alive. Blood had soaked his clothes, and the medics worked fast, trying to keep him stable as the vehicle drove toward the hospital. Another ambulance followed closely behind. This one carried Stephen Winthrope. The old man lay motionless on the stretcher, his eyes lifeless. Even before the ambulance doors were shut, the officers already knew he would not survive. Still, protocol had to be followed. Inside the hall, chaos slowly began to settle. Delphine sat alone on the podium, her wedding dress spread around her like a bitter joke. Tears streamed endlessly down her face. Her body shook as she cried loudly, not caring who was watching anymore. Her parents stood nearby, unable to lift their heads. Shame wrapped around them like a heavy blanket. They had come to the wedding with pride, believing their

    The hall slowly erupted into low murmurings. Whispers spread from one corner to another. It was like a dangerous wave that refused to die down. Faces turned toward each other, confusion and shock written clearly on everyone's expression. Stephen Winthrope sat stiffly in his seat. He had expected chaos, but not this kind. And he had come prepared. He had expected his men to burst into the hall by now. At least, that was the plan. He had expected screams, panic, blood—anything that would turn attention away from him. But nothing happened. Not a single one of his men appeared. That was the moment Stephen knew. This was not going his way. His heart sank heavily in his chest as realization hit him with full force. Everything had been a setup. Every step. Every delay, and every silence. He clenched his fists so tightly his knuckles turned white. He should have known. He should have known that Lene would talk. He should have known that fear would make them betray him. He should hav
