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 nods and smiles at the young nurse. The woman seems to have forgotten her medical responsibilities. Instead, she’s enraptured by Leilani’s beauty routine. “Where are you going?” Maddy asks. “The Castle in the Air,” Leilani says. Maddy’s smile vanishes. “But—but that’s where Leonie and Mr. Bamford are,” she says. “You can’t go out now.…
Leilani orders without looking at the menu—she already knows the chef’s specialties because she used to meet Charles in the restaurant every week. She asks for a spicy seafood paella and a bottle of Bordeaux. She knows she’s not supposed to drink a lot, but a few sips won’t hurt the baby. The waiter rushes…
With a flick of her wrist, she tosses the wine onto Waylen and throws the crystal glass to the floor. She grinds the shards under her foot and smiles brutally. Then she turns and walks away, leaving Waylen sputtering at the table. She doesn’t want to hear Waylen’s weak explanations. She doesn’t want to stick…
“Well, Leonie seems really upset,” Maddy says. “Normally, I wouldn’t think anything of it, but I knew you were going to the restaurant, so it kind of seemed like more than a coincidence.” Leilani can feel her patience wearing thin. She takes a sip of steaming green tea to calm herself before turning to Maddy.…
Confused, Leilani grabs her phone and searches the hotel’s name. She quickly finds all sorts of articles announcing a huge fashion show in the hotel’s grand ballroom. According to the headlines, this is set to be one of the biggest shows in the jewelry industry, and celebrities like Jenny Watson and Ketty are expected to…
“You think this is just about the necklace?” Sophie wails. “It’s my show, my design, my reputation—it’s all on the line.” Leilani nods calmly as she desperately tries to think of a way to save the situation. “Actually, I think it’s good,” she says. She takes the broken necklace and holds it up to the…
“Did you get together before or after the divorce?” asks another. “How does it feel to be the other woman?” someone asks, thrusting a camera right into Leonie’s face. Leonie glares at the reporter. “I’ve never been the other woman,” she says. “So when do you plan to make it official and get married?” someone…
“That’s for the doctor to decide,” Waylen says. “You’ve been running around far too much for someone in your condition. Come on.” Leilani sits through a long series of tests in the hospital’s maternity wing. They prick her with needles and scan her with ultrasound machines. As she waits for the results, she hears Leonie’s…
“Mr. Bamford you can’t do this,” Robert shouts. “Have you forgotten your grandfather’s warning? You know what he said about risking your life for Leilani. No one’s life is more important than yours. You’ve already violated his trust twice if there’s a third—” “Shut up,” Waylen says. The patient starts to laugh hysterically. The sound…
Waylen’s blood boils. He wants to take the old man by the collar and shake him violently. “Leilani is my wife, and she’s carrying my child,” Waylen says. “What kind of man doesn’t protect his wife and his child?” “A true man looks out for himself first and foremost,” Francis says. “I’d rather die than…
