Marrying into the Bamford family was the ultimate aspiration for girls from elite backgrounds. It promised a life of opulence and boundless wealth, thanks to the Bamfords’ unparalleled influence in both government and private business.
Fortunately, Leilani stood out among the rest and successfully became the wife of Waylen Bamford, a man who possessed not only striking looks but also remarkable business acumen. Deeply in love with her husband, Leilani made every effort to become the perfect wife. However, Waylen’s arrogance led him to treat her no better than a servant, despite her attempts to seduce him using various methods.
One fateful day, Leilani found herself on the brink of drowning in an accident, which left her utterly disillusioned. Determined, she firmly demanded a divorce. Waylen, however, dismissed her request as another ploy to gain attention. Moreover, the Bamford family could not bear the scandal that a divorce would bring.
Leilani’s unwavering insistence piqued Waylen’s curiosity. What fate awaits them? Let’s delve into their story below.
Leilani laughs sarcastically, “The only one here who dares to tell the truth here is a parrot.” “You’ll see how I punish it,” Andrew threatens. “Punish it? For what?” Leilani asks. “The poor bird was just telling the truth.” Andrew licks his lips, “I love your sharp tongue.” Leilani glares at him and leaves the room, slamming the…
“What are you doing?” Leilani screams, stumbling backward. Her back hits the oak tree’s thick trunk. Escape is impossible. “I’m sorry. I’m not a very good rider,” Michelle says. She grinned wickedly as the horse bellows. “This horse isn’t used to my riding style. I can’t control it.” Leilani keeps her back pressed against the…
“You may wonder why I’m going to him, but it’s because he’s holding Gabby as a hostage. He said he’ll release her if I agree to take her place. I don’t know why. I wish I could tell you this, but I’m scared you’d do something to tip him off, and I can’t risk Gabby’s…
Andrew’s tone reminds Leilani of Waylen. Their arrogance is weirdly similar sometimes, she thinks. Michelle blushes with deep embarrassment, seemingly unable to speak, and Leilani remembers the deal they made in the woods. “This is Michelle Cindy,” Leilani says graciously. “I almost had an accident just now, but she saved me.” “Alright,” Andrew says disinterestedly.…
Andrew walks over and reaches out for Leilani’s forehead. “What’s wrong?” Andrew asks, “You look pale.” “Don’t touch me!” she snaps, slapping his hand away. “I’m asking you if you’re feeling alright,” Andrew says defensively. Leilani shakes her head. If Andrew was indeed talking about Charles on the phone, she doesn’t know how she’ll live…
“What are you doing?” Andrew asks from the door. Ruby quickly releases her grip on Michelle’s hair and covers her face with her hands. Leilani can see her rubbing her eyes violently to make them water. So she’s going to play the victim, Leilani thinks. She’s pathetic. Andrew is wearing a bathrobe, and a belt…
Robert jumps with surprise and drops the phone onto the plush, scarlet carpet. He’s shocked to see the notification alerting him that Leilani’s phone is in use. He grabs the phone and flies down the stairs to Waylen’s study. Waylen is still sitting in the dark, listening to the recording. “Mr. Bamford,” Robert shouts, waving…
“You’re really weak, Miss Peters,” he says, panting for breath, “You’d probably be more of a burden than a help, and we just can’t risk any mistakes.” He reaches into his vest pocket and tosses her phone to her, “Before I forget, I want to return this to you.” Gabrielle catches the phone and continues…
“I want to know why,” Andrew says with a playful smile. “Maybe as a doctor, you can explain why my heart beats abnormally every time I see this woman.” Leilani purses her lips disapprovingly, and the doctor coughs awkwardly. Andrew merely smirks. “Diet, emotional anxiety, pregnancy, excitement, fear, caffeine, nicotine, and narcotics can all make…
Leilani sneers—she doesn’t want Andrew’s protection. He’s the person I need to be protected from, she thinks. “I swear, today’s events will never happen again,” Andrew says. “I don’t trust you or believe you,” Leilani says. “Well, I promise to protect you as long as you stay with me,” Andrew says. He smiles, devilishly, “Willing…
