The Extraordinary Bride Of The Wyndham Family (Isla and Gabriel) novel Chapter 241

Gabriel was alone in the swimming pool behind the island mansion.

The water was calm, clear, and cool against his skin as he glided slowly from one end to the other. Each stroke was unhurried, it was relaxed. Above him, the morning sky was blue, the sun already warm and soothing.

As he swam, his mind drifted backward into a memory he had carried for most of his life. At that time, he was a child.

It was during Wyatt’s birthday party. He remembered standing too close to the pool, not knowing how to swim, not understanding danger. Then a sudden push from behind, and he fell.

Someone had pushed him into the water. Someone who didn’t know that he couldn’t swim.

His arms had flailed wildly as he tried to scream, but instead, water rushed into his mouth and nose, burning his chest. He was drowning, truly drowning. His vision blurred, his body growing weak as fear swallowed him.

Death was close that day. But small hands which were strong caught him. It was an angel.

She jumped into the pool without hesitation and pulled him out. He coughed, and cried. Back then, he never saw her face clearly. He only remembered her warmth, her bravery, and life being returned to him.For years, day after days, the memory never left him.

He always wakes up from countless nightmares. No matter how much time passed, the fear never truly left, until recently.

And now, after knowing the truth. After knowing that the angel who saved him that day was Isla, his wife. The woman he loved. The nightmares had stopped completely, like they had never existed at all.

Gabriel floated onto his back, letting the water carry him.

His arms spread slightly, his body relaxed, his face tilted toward the sky. The sun warmed his skin as he closed his eyes, breathing in deeply.

His thoughts shifted again, this time to Anna. To the years he had lived under her control, under her rules and manipulation. All that time, believing she was his mother, believing her every word, never knowing his life was shaped by lies and silent cruelty.

But all of that is over now. There was no more drama in his life. No more tension and no more fear.

For the first time since he married Isla—no, for the first time in his entire life. Gabriel felt true peace.

He’s not thinking about tomorrow, or the weight of responsibilities waiting for him beyond this island. All that mattered was her, his heartbeat. His Angel.

“Can I join you?” A very sweet and tender voice said, thevoice he could never mistake for another.

His eyes flew open in surprise, and at that brief moment of distraction, he lost his balance and began to sink. Water rushed over his face as he struggled to float properly again.

Isla’s laughter rang out, light and teasing.

Gabriel surfaced quickly and swam to the edge of the pool, shaking his head as he caught his breath. Isla was already there, crouched down, her eyes dancing with amusement.

Their lips met in a brief, gentle kiss.

“Get into the water,” Gabriel murmured.

She giggled and stood up slowly. With deliberate ease, she untied the belt of her robe and let it slide from her shoulders. Beneath it, she wore a simple two-piece bikini that hugged her body perfectly.

She sat at the edge of the pool, parting her thighs slightly.

Gabriel moved closer, positioning himself between her legs. His hands settled on her waist as he pressed a soft kiss to her stomach, staying there for a moment longer than he planned to..

“I feel like staying here for the next two weeks,” he said quietly. “Just you and me.”
