“This yard is too exposed. You should talk at home,” Scott scanned around us. He signaled for my cousin and me to walk to the porch first.

I complied. It was quiet, but that didn't guarantee there wasn't someone somewhere pointing a gun at me. We walked up to the front door. A man opened it. He smiled kindly at Taylor and me.

Scott cleared his throat when the man frowned at him. “Lionel, let me introduce you. These are Darcy Wyndham and Taylor Bailey.”

I extended my hand to the man. “Darcy Bailey,” I corrected.

Lionel smiled as he returned my handshake. “Lionel Dupont at your service, Mrs. Sinclair Wyndham,” he said.

Taylor chuckled. “Darcy Wyndham sounds sexier,” she teased.

“Shut up, Tay,” I said irritably.

“Would you like to see your room?” Lionel asked.

“Not now. My cousin and I need to talk. Is there a room where no one will disturb us?” I looked around me.

The house was magnificent and modern on the outside. The inside was equally fashionable. It looked like Sinclair rep

  • The Mafia's Frozen Bride   166|A Hectic Week

    [Darcy]After long days of interviewing job applicants, I could relax a little more on that Monday. My colleagues and I had a meeting in the morning to select the right people for our team. I needed a complete team, a ready-to-use space, and sufficient capital to apply for the business license.Isla, my former HR manager, helped us determine the right candidates to hire. Lydia and Vicky's input gave us many ideas to improve our team.“Thank you for your hard work,” I said. “Isla, contact everyone who passed the selection process. They can start working. I’ll handle the business permits. Hopefully, we’ll get the permits before the end of the year.”“What about your deputy?” Vicky asked. “You said you had a candidate.”“He’s on vacation and promised to come next Monday to introduce himself,” I replied.Lydia furrowed her brow. “Who is this person? Why won’t you mention his name?”I chuckled. “The man might break his promise. I don’t want to share my disappointment with you.”After the m

    Conrad chose his headquarters as our meeting place. His entire team was there, enjoying the food, drinks, and entertainment he had prepared for them. He suggested holding the event at the SW nightclub, but I refused.Giovanni had his ways and systems. He didn't copy my style of doing business. The place was too dark for us. Darcy would be angry if she knew I went there because the club had strippers.I was against such performances in front of a crowd, but I allowed dancers who wanted to give exclusive performances in a closed room. Even though officials protected the business, those corrupt people would not protect me if I got into legal trouble.“Guys, attention please. The man we've been waiting for has arrived,” Conrad called out.The place abruptly fell silent. People stopped talking, and the DJ paused the music. Those playing pool or darts halted their games. Everyone turned their gaze toward Conrad and me.“You did a good job. I appreciate it. People who committed the crime hav

    [Sinclair]I went to Wallace's favorite coffee shop. Its location was in a hotel. We didn't have to worry about anyone interrupting or eavesdropping on our conversation. The man came with his secretary.The mayor kept his promise. He transferred the rest of the city's loan to my company. I gave him the receipt and ended our cooperation on good terms. After talking about business, we enjoyed coffee and pastries.“I know all your demands regarding the crimes committed against your family. The commissioner promised to personally oversee the investigation into the crimes of Stephen Kent, Marcel Cooper, Sean Channing, and Joaquin Fernandez. His subordinates won’t dare to cause trouble,” Wallace explained.“I did that as a token of gratitude for your help during the eight years I served. The city could undertake many projects because Wyndham Finance approved my loan request,” he concluded.“You're welcome,” I replied.Wallace shared his plans after retirement. He would leave politics. Altho

    I returned Lionel's greeting and entered the house. He glanced toward the family room, indicating where my family was. Since I hadn't eaten, I headed to the dining room. The maids served the food for me, and I enjoyed it in silence.I sighed and exhaled repeatedly, trying to calm my emotions. The series of events had caused my mood to fluctuate drastically. Sinclair's lies, Cullen's car dashboard video, and finally, my late husband's confession.I pushed those thoughts aside. It wasn’t the time to dwell on my feelings. Dashiell and Keane were waiting for me to come home. I read the letter in the park to satisfy my curiosity. I could think about the issue after the children were asleep.“Mom!!” Dashiell called out. He ran over and hugged me. “Did you just have dinner? We heard you come in, but you didn’t come to see us.”I kissed his head. “Yes,” I replied. I forgot. They could hear the front door from the room. A baby’s cry interrupted us. “Yes, Keane. Mommy’s coming.”“Why does my br

    [Darcy]I waited anxiously in the parking lot. It had been seven months since I had been there, and everything was still the same. Nothing had changed, including the parking spot where the two men in high positions were sitting. The clock on my phone showed nine sharp. Why hadn't they arrived?I had informed my colleague at work that I would be late. There was an HR manager who could handle the job interview. I didn’t need to worry about no one replacing me.“Jack is entering the gate,” Scott reported.“Good. Let’s greet him in the lobby.” I slung my bag over my shoulder and got out of the car.Scott followed me to the lobby. We were on the second floor, in the parking area reserved for employees and executives. The interior of the building consisted only of corridors and elevators. No one would hear my conversation with the man.A car stopped near the door. A man got out and walked toward the elevator. He didn’t notice I was in the lobby, sitting on one of the chairs. I waited for th

  • The Mafia's Frozen Bride   161|Harsh Accusation

    People might say whatever they want about me, but I ignore them. Even the most hurtful words and phrases couldn't hurt me. I shut down my emotions and held back my feelings when my father died, and everyone turned against me.That event was an experience I would never forget. After my father's death, people made malicious accusations about his company. The authorities didn’t focus on investigating the murder case but on the Wyndham Finance issue.Colleagues, clients, and even shareholders cornered me just because of the rumors spreading. After I desperately managed to fix the situation, they turned around and acted kindly toward me. I didn’t forget that humiliating incident and avoided those two-faced people.However, that bad experience pales in comparison to Darcy’s accusation. Her words pierced my heart. I felt pain in my chest hearing her dismiss my love for her. She was the first woman to make me fall in love so deeply.“I know you’re shocked. You need time to process this inform
