[Sinclair]

I needed shareholders because I couldn't manage such a big company alone. They helped me when I was a new leader by buying shares, giving advice, and sharing their experience in entrepreneurship.

However, I wasn't that young Sinclair Wyndham. My horizons were broad and my connections were numerous. I wasn't afraid of anyone's threats because even the biggest shareholders were replaceable. I had many acquaintances who wanted to buy shares in Wyndham Finance.

Henry Swan was the largest shareholder after me. He held twenty-five percent while I held fifty-one. I agreed to some of his suggestions out of respect for him as a senior. However, his threats wouldn't deter me.

"I won't forbid you and the shareholders from withdrawing funds or selling your shares. I'll gladly buy them at their current value. If it's not big enough, I'm willing to add ten percent so you don't lose out," I said.

“What did you say?” Henry was surprised by my response. “You don't have enough money to pay my

  • The Mafia's Frozen Bride   80|Reminiscing Memories

    I scanned my surroundings before getting out of the car. I knew my people were near the cemetery, protecting me from enemies. However, I couldn't let my guard down. I took Dashiel's hand and walked towards my family's grave.It was close to the road so we didn't have to walk far. Neil and my son's bodyguard watched us from the side of the car. Boyd jogged and stopped beside my father's tombstone. Dad was on the right, Mom was in the middle, and Tristan was on the left.The spot in front of them was mine and Dashiell's. I had bought the land for our resting place. People wouldn't have to bother looking for a place when my son and I died. That way, my body and the rest of my family were in the same place.“Dad, I want to see Grandma's face,” Dashiell said.I turned to his bodyguard. The man grabbed something from the car and approached us. He handed my son a tablet. Dashiell looked at the screen. My beautiful mom smiled at us.“Grandma's hair is dark like Dad's. Grandpa and Uncle's hair

  • The Mafia's Frozen Bride   79|Learn Her Lesson

    [Sinclair]Those in the VVIP room gasped. They turned to me when I sat on the chair. The show went well even though the incident caught the dancers' attention. They danced harmoniously and closed it perfectly.The audience seemed mesmerized by the top secret being revealed before them. They didn't react until the dancers walked backstage. Security guards approached guests who used their phones to record or photograph the dancers.Conrad and his IT team would work overtime to prevent Darcy's photos and videos from spreading on social media. The secret would be out sooner or later, but I didn't expect it to happen so close to another significant event.“Silly me,” Dustin said. "That masked woman is Darcy Bailey. I should have agreed with her demands. Sean would have paid any amount to free her."“I'll release her, Sin,” Ralph interrupted quickly."No, you won't. I'll set her free," Dustin retorted.“Darcy Wyndham is not for sale,” I stated.They fell silent. A few minutes later, everyon

  • The Mafia's Frozen Bride   78|Selfish Act

    I ignored their stares. My body moved harmoniously to the music. The woman pulling my mask smiled at the audience. She tried hard to dance, teasing the guests who directed their attention to me.Although I was in the front row, I made no effort to cover my face. I let the customers see me as I was. I kept my promise to the group and instructor by dancing without any mistakes.We finished the performance well and headed backstage in an orderly fashion. I couldn't pick up my mask because the culprit threw it at the audience. I approached her when we were in the dressing room.However, someone preceded me, and a loud slap filled the room. We held our breath at the sight. Kirsten clenched her fists, refraining from hitting her twice. She looked at Davina with blazing eyes.“Wh-why did you slap me?” Davina asked in surprise.“Everyone worked so hard on tonight's performance, and you ruined everything with your one selfish act,” Kirsten snapped.My dance partner glanced at me. "Darcy ruined

  • The Mafia's Frozen Bride   77|Sincere Compliments

    [Darcy]I cursed the accident. Therefore, I couldn't earn extra money for two nights. Sinclair refused to touch me. I knew he did so, not because I was hurt but because he was injured.Had the accident not happened, Sinclair would have screwed me. I needed every cent I could get from him each night. If my foot condition affected my performance on Saturday night, the audience wouldn't have tipped much.Gosh. I'd turned into a slut who sold my body for money. However, I had to fight for custody of my son immediately. Keane was sick, and I didn't know how long he would be in the hospital.“Darcy, here's your phone.” Rocco handed me the device when I entered the car.I accepted it. “Thank you. How did you find it?”“Secret,” he replied. “I took it from Frida White. She and Judy checked the contents of your phone in the car after following us.”“Frida?” I furrowed my brow. “What did she check my phone for? Oh. Nevermind.”So, that was why they invited me to dinner. Frida wanted to take my

  • The Mafia's Frozen Bride   76|Welcome Home

    My workspace wasn't cluttered. Everything was in its place. Marcel's parcel was also on the sideboard. The difference was there were a few packages beside it. I checked the hampers. There were baskets of towels and bathrobes, fruits, and books.A card was on each of the hampers. They wished me a speedy recovery. Strange. Henry said they intended to sell their shares because I had a dirty business. Why were they suddenly concerned about me?They didn't carry out their intention to sell the shares. I didn't see any transfer of names for the assets they own. What made them change their minds? Could it be someone is influencing them? I had a long list of people who wanted me to go bankrupt.“Can I help you with anything, Boss?” Neil asked.“Please check the security cameras. What did they do in my office.” I glanced at the ceiling.“Okay,” he said.After Neil left, I approached my desk. Nothing had moved. My computer didn't feel warm either. Neil returned and reported that the shareholder

  • The Mafia's Frozen Bride   75|Detailed Evidence

    [Sinclair]It was crazy! It was pure madness! The evidence Darcy gave me wouldn't only destroy Sean's good name but also harm his company. I didn't expect the family's hands to be full of blood. I thought they did business with their tears and sweat.I didn't suspect that Darcy and I's closeness would help me bring down my unbeatable enemy. Conrad couldn't have found such strong evidence because they covered all traces of their crimes neatly.Damn it. Darcy was my family's enemy. I framed her father to ruin her reputation. If I used that evidence, I betrayed my brother. I should have avenged his death, not allied myself with that heartless woman.“Heartless woman. I don't even recognize her anymore after seeing her earnestly breastfeeding an unknown baby.” I combed my hair with my fingers.I glanced at my computer screen. Darcy must have gotten that financial data from her husband. What kind of marriage was she in to have such a big secret in her hands? I couldn't believe Cullen gave

  • The Mafia's Frozen Bride   74|Having Fun

    Judy chose a restaurant in the hotel near her office. No one knew I worked in Sinclair's club, and I wanted to keep it that way. Therefore, I didn't mention my location and let her decide our meeting place.Getting a table at the restaurant wasn't difficult. Only certain people had dinner at such a fancy place. Judy had arrived first. Her bodyguard greeted me at the door and escorted me to the table.“Hi, Darcy, have a seat!” She greeted me cheerfully.I glanced at the bag on the chair beside her. “Hi. Is anyone else eating with us?” I sat on the chair across from her.“Um, yes,” Judy answered. “She went to the restroom for a while.”Her friend didn't go to the restroom. That woman must have been hiding somewhere, waiting for me to sit down. She knew I'd leave if I saw her here with Judy. There was only one person I knew would pull off that trick.“Please choose what to eat. I'll pay.” Judy handed me the menu.“Okay,” I replied.I ordered steak with barbeque sauce, grilled asparagus,

  • The Mafia's Frozen Bride   73|Same Goal

    [Darcy]Sinclair left the room after talking to me. I took the opportunity to sort out my feelings. Crying would only make me weak. I needed to have a clear mind to decide what to do to get back at Bridget.My son wasn't sick because something was wrong with his body. Keane needed me. He missed his mother, who hadn't been beside him for two weeks. Separating us was Bridget's most evil act. It wasn't the same as separating her from her adult son.Keane was six months old and dependent on his mother. That selfish woman was so vindictive that she called another woman to be with my son. That other woman would never be his mother. Laura didn't love Keane. She loved money.I didn't care if Sinclair used the evidence or threw it away. I could spread it when I had enough money to pay for a lawyer. I only needed to work hard and use all my time to raise the money.“You'd better not work today.” Sinclair studied my hands as we ate breakfast.“I've been absent for two days. My colleagues will be

  • The Mafia's Frozen Bride   72|Friend or Foe

    [Sinclair]Conrad was investigating who among my mother's friends had viciously slandered her. It would take him a long time because the incident had passed. Poppy Swan was one of the people I unfortunately suspected.I hoped I was wrong. I couldn't imagine that the woman who had treated me so well during those difficult times would hurt my mother. Not many people helped me get back on my feet after Dad passed away. Poppy bravely stood up to her husband, who disapproved of her supporting me.“Who is Joaquin Fernandez?” my mom's best friend asked. “I've never heard that name. Is he an actor?”“Are you sure you never knew him?” I repeated.Poppy smiled. “Sin, I know numerous people, but that name is unfamiliar.” She patted the back of my hand.Her demeanor didn't change. Her eyes, smile, and movements remained calm, but her palm was cold. I couldn't tell if it was the air conditioning or she was nervous. Surprisingly, I didn't feel guilty for asking that question.Poppy treated me like
