All Chapters of THE EXTRAORDINARY BRIDE OF THE WYNDHAM FAMILY : Chapter 261 - Chapter 270

Gabriel and Isla’s residence had never looked this alive before.The wide garden was filled with people’s laughter, music, and warmth. Happy people were everywhere, their voices blending with the music as they worked together like a team. It was not a formal party, but a family gathering filled with love, comfort and togetherness. Nothing was forced, just family and friends, having nice time together. The grills were set up at one end of the garden, smoke rising gently into the bright afternoon sky. The smell of seasoned meat, fish, and lamb ribs floated in the air, making kids get excited, their stomachs rumbling even before the food was ready. The men had taken over that section of the garden, despite the presence of professional chefs and staff. Gabriel stood with Ben, Peter, Landon, Uriel, Carl, Luke Green, Carl Reese, and Jeff Green. Jeff Green, now a tall teenager, moved around the men and was proud to be included among the men. He was Betty and Luke’s son, and he carried hi

Mercy walked out of the supermarket, two shopping bags in her hands. As she was about to step into her car, her phone rang. The phone was inside her bag, and thinking that the caller might be her fiancé, she opened the car, dropped the bags on the back seat, and brought out her phone. Without confirming who the caller was, she answered. “Yes, love,” she said. “Oh, sorry, but I hope I am speaking with Mercy McKnight?” the caller asked. Her heart jumped. She got scared immediately, so without thinking twice, she replied, “Yes, this is her. And who am I speaking to?” “This is Jasmine George from Wyndham Holdings. I’m calling to inquire if you would be interested in joining our audit team?” “Excuse me?” she asked, genuinely stunned. “Doctor Saheed recommended you for the role,” Jasmine continued. “However, if you are currently occupied with other engagements, we completely understand. Mercy leaned against her car, her mind spinning. She was a professional strategic auditor. Highly

Mercy woke up slowly and, for a moment, stared at the ceiling without thinking. Then it came to her—yesterday was her birthday. The thought sat quietly in her mind before it spread. She had not celebrated it. Not even a small candle. Not even a wish from her family. Then another truth followed, it was colder than the first. No one had cared. Yes, she had received a few messages, short, polite texts from friends who were out of town. People who meant well but were far away, living their own lives. But the people who truly mattered to her, the ones she had called family for most of her life, had said nothing. She has heard nothing from them. Well, that was not entirely true. She had received something from them. Betrayal, and cruelty. Her eyes burned suddenly, and tears rushed in before she could stop them. She blinked hard, hoping they would go away, but they didn’t. They only blurred her vision, turning the quiet hotel room into something distant like it didn't exist. No matter h

Aurelian Wyndham sat behind the sleek obsidian desk in his home office, the city’s skyline stood like a backdrop through the wall of glass. Three days’ worth of contracts, proposals, and acquisition reports had accumulated in neat stacks, each one demanding his words, his signature and seal. He worked methodically, pen moving at a fast paced and decisive strokes. When a document was approved, he slid it across the desk without looking up. Jasmine, poised, efficient, ever-present, collected them silently, filing each one with the precision of someone who knew exactly how he liked things done. This was his rhythm. He rarely set foot in the towering headquarters downtown. Unlike his father, who had thrived on boardroom theatrics and public appearances, Aurelian preferred control from a distance. The results spoke for themselves: the company had doubled in value since he took the reins. Jasmine cleared her throat softly. She sat near the filing cabinet, arms crossed, her long blonde cur

The front of the tall Wyndham Holdings building buzzed with energy. Executives lined up neatly outside the main entrance in their best suits and dresses. They waited to welcome their boss, the CEO. He had not visited the headquarters in so long that people had stopped counting the months—or even years. Everyone knew Aurelian Wyndham came only for the most important meetings. Even then, he usually joined by conference call, video, or other remote methods. Sometimes he handled business from his home office or one of his international locations. Only a handful of close staff knew his real schedule. The rest of the employees were eager to see him in person at least once. Today, the news had spread fast: for the first time anyone could remember, the CEO was coming to the head office to work. Not just to pass through. To stay and lead from there. The announcement felt shocking and exciting at the same time. Whispers filled the lobby earlier that morning. People checked their phones again
