All Chapters of THE EXTRAORDINARY BRIDE OF THE WYNDHAM FAMILY : Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

The guests were all seated in their places. The front rows were reserved for important dignitaries and industry experts. Gabriel sat on the right side, beside Mr. Antonio, while to Antonio’s left sat Alfred Wyndham himself, watching the stage with quiet pride. Across from them, still in the front row, sat Delphine. She was surrounded by other powerful men and women from rival companies. Her posture was elegant, commanding attention without effort. Her beauty was almost tempting, and she carried a calmness that made it seem like she knew something no one else did. The gentlemen at her side leaned in to speak softly with her. She answered with a proud smile that hinted at quiet confidence. A few seats away sat Diana and her husband. Beside them were their two daughters with their own husbands. They were all present, gathered together for one reason—to support Isla. Not too far off, the Wyndham family occupied their row. This launch was supposed to be their moment of pride, but the

Delphine’s actions drew everyone’s attention, but she could no longer control her anger. All she wanted tonight was to push Isla until she snapped. She wanted the world to see another side of her. Her career was already slipping through her fingers, and in her mind, Isla was the reason. Isla had taken Gabriel. Isla had taken her spotlight. Isla was becoming everything she wanted to be, while she herself was left with nothing. Jealousy burned like fire inside her. If she could provoke Isla tonight, make her lose her calm, then maybe people would turn against her. But before she could move closer, Sofie stepped in front of her, blocking the way. “Step back, Delphine. Please—behave yourself.” Delphine’s eyes flared. Without warning, she lifted her hand and struck Sofie across the face. Gasps and murmurs rippled through the ballroom. A heavy silence followed, filled with shock and disbelief. Isla’s eyes hardened as she glared at Delphine, fury flashing across her face. She was abou

Gabriel didn’t knock. He pushed open Isla’s office door and walked in, his presence swallowing the room. Everyone inside the office stilled. Jeff and the others stopped mid-sentence, and fear was fully written all over their faces. This is their CEO, no one dared to question him. They only managed to nod their heads, slightly. Isla herself was startled, her lips parting slightly. He had left only minutes ago. She had been ready to call it a night, but the team had delayed her. “Everyone. Leave us.” His voice was direct and commanding. Not a single person dared argue. One by one, they slipped out, their eyes darting between the couple, as if leaving a battlefield before the first strike. The door clicked shut, leaving only the two of them. Isla drew in a breath, ready to speak, but Gabriel’s words landed first. “Pack your things. We’re leaving together. Now.” His tone gave her no choice. Her heart thudded. “I am not going anywhere with you. Just leave me alone.” Gabriel’s jaw

Isla couldn't move, she was half-bare before him, her heart racing. They were husband and wife, yet this intimacy felt forbidden, like something that should never be. Gabriel’s breath quickened. His chest heaving. It had been too long, far too long since he had seen her like this. And now, it was as if he had not seen a woman so beautiful as her. In the next moment, he swept her up in his arms, and her gasp broke into a soft laugh, her arms instinctively circling his neck. He laid her down gently on the sofa, his gaze never leaving hers. Then, with steady hands, he began to undress himself. First, his tie loosened, falling to the floor. Then the buttons of his shirt, one by one, revealed the strong, smooth, and hardness of his chest. His eyes burned into hers, daring her to look away. She didn’t. And she couldn't either. Not when he was this handsome. When at last his trousers and briefs fell away, Isla’s lips parted in shock. The shock ran through her as if she was seeing him

Isla froze when his deep voice cut through the haze. “Enough,” Gabriel said, his tone low but commanding. Her trembling hands stilled instantly, sliding away from her heated core. She could feel his gaze on her. His eyes trailed down her body and lingered at her glistening entrance, where her own fingers had just been. “Enough lesson for today,” he murmured, his lips curling into the kind of smile she had never seen from him before “I want to make love to my wife.” My wife. The words sent shivers down her spine. And before she could respond, his large hands were on her hips, pulling her closer, lifting her off the mattress. He positioned her so her slick folds brushed against his length, teasing her. The sensation made her gasp aloud. “Gabriel…” her voice trembled as her fingers dug into the sheets. “Please. I want you. I can’t—” The plea broke something inside him, igniting a darker side of him. His control slipped, and with one deep thrust, he penetrated into her and was s
