The phone kept ringing, but Gabriel wasn't answering it. He switched off his phone and slid it into the inner pocket of his suit jacket. When he looked up, he saw Isla still standing by the car. Her face gave nothing away, her expression calm and unreadable. He stepped closer and spoke in a low tone. “Shall we proceed?” he asked. She only gave a small nod before turning and walking toward the house, leaving him to follow behind. Inside, they were warmly welcomed by the housemaids and by Diana, who was delighted to see them arrive together. “Good morning, Mrs. Ainsworth,” Gabriel greeted politely, bending a little to press a soft kiss on Diana’s forehead. Diana chuckled, her smile wide. She was genuinely happy to see them side by side like a married couple should be. Charles, also came forward to greet them, and soon the room was filled with laughter and cheerful voices. “Aunt Isla!” a tiny voice piped up. Little Jeff came running, his small feet pattering against the floor. Is

“Please, Mom, Dad,” Isla finally spoke up, her voice gentle. “It wasn’t intentional. We’re sorry. Maybe next time.” She knew she couldn’t leave all the explaining to Gabriel. It was time to step in. Gabriel leaned back slightly, relieved that Isla had spoken. For a moment, he could breathe again. The atmosphere shifted. The family’s mood lightened. On one hand, they were celebrating Maya’s pregnancy. On the other, Isla’s new position had become a moment of pride for everyone. To be the head of a major clothing company was no small achievement. It was a massive responsibility. Alfred Wyndham, Gabriel’s grandfather, knew exactly what he was doing. Isla needed something that would keep her occupied — and, perhaps, something that could bring Gabriel back into their marriage. Gabriel valued that company greatly. It had been his idea from the start, and for years Delphine had been its public face. But Alfred was a master strategist. Though he rarely interfered in Gabriel’s handling of t

Worgidd Street was busier this Monday morning. The street was always lively, but today it felt as if there was an extra spark around the area. Worgidd Street was the very heart of the business district in Carminton. Everything important happened here. Just off Worgidd Street was Wyndham Lane, a street that carried the weight of the entire Wyndham empire. Every Wyndham company had an office on this lane, from fashion to real estate, and the financial institution. At the very center of it all stood the Wyndham head office—where Gabriel himself worked as CEO. Among the many proud structures on the lane, the Wyndham Wardrobe building stood tall and striking. As the luxury van slowed down in front of it, Isla leaned closer to the window, her eyes widening at the sight. A massive digital screen covered one side of the building, flashing with videos and images of Wyndham’s top models wearing the latest designs. Her eyes caught on Delphine's face on the screen, she was wearing a new W

Isla glanced at the paper in Delphine’s hand. Her husband’s words echoed in her memory, reminding her of the instruction he had given. She scoffed inwardly but kept her composure. Without replying, she sank back into her chair, resting her back against it, and keeping her cool. Her gaze moved to Sofie, who stood nearby looking shocked at Delphine’s boldness. “Miss Delgado?” Isla’s voice was calm but firm. Sofie stepped forward quickly and stood in front of the desk. “Yes, Mrs. Wyndham,” she answered. “Please walk Miss Winthrope out of my office,” Isla said evenly. “And next time, make sure she follows a proper appointment guideline before coming into my office.” “Hen?” Sofie’s eyes widened. She was surprised by the order but quickly straightened up and obeyed. “Yes, ma’am.” The smile on Delphine’s face was gone, fading instantly. “You’re walking me out?” she asked in disbelief. “I’m sorry, Miss Winthrope, but if you can please—” Sofie began softly. Delphine lifted her hand, s

When she realized he had already drifted off to sleep, she quietly pulled the covers over him, tucking him in gently. She thought about going to sleep. But she didn’t feel sleepy at all. Instead of lying restless in bed, she decided to keep herself busy with work. She picked up her phone and chatted with her close friend and a few key partners in her jewelry business. Lately, the sales of her earrings had gone up, and profits were running into several thousands of dollars. It was encouraging, and she felt proud of how much progress she had made in business. During their conversation, she brought up the new product and design she wanted to develop. Though she knew the Wyndham Wardrobe launch was her current priority, she was already planning for that. Once that was done, she would need to travel to Teriporto to properly see things for herself and for material sourcing. This particular design was something she wanted to handle personally. She explained her ideas and outlined the pla
