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.
The elevator dings and Waylen protectively steps in front of the sliding doors. Leilani chews her lip and wonders how she can persuade him to relax. If his grandfather sees him acting like this, he’ll go mad with anger. Instead of a threat, two young girls in candy striper uniforms try to hand them shiny…
Andrew sits in his study and stares at the blue glow of his computer screen. A video of Leilani plays over and over: he watches her walking through the streets and getting into a Land Rover. A drone flies over the Land Rover, and he watches the black car pull up outside an elaborate metal…
She takes a large wad of gauze and clumsily sticks it to his chest. Then she grabs the medical tape and begins to wrap the gauze. By the time she’s done, she’s used over half a roll of the tape, and the bandage makes a huge puffy spot under his shirt. “Now that you’ve gotten…
“For the sake of the baby, please, control yourself,” Waylen groans. Leilani climbs off his lap, feeling her cheeks burn with embarrassment. She tugs her dress down and runs her fingers through her hair. She looks down at her feet, but she can feel Waylen’s gaze on her. He stands up and slips his finger…
Leilani looks around the coffee shop. It’s on the bottom floor of a trendy but small hotel, and it’s decorated in a retro style. Each table sits beside a French window, and the noon sunlight streams in and reflects off the tabletops. Outside the window, some children splash in the pale blue hotel pool. Sophie…
That cold old man only cares about this family and its good reputation, Waylen thinks. If it’s a choice between Leilani and these bribes, bribes are definitely the bigger threat. Waylen pulls his phone from his pocket and looks at a picture of Leilani. He imagines proposing to her properly. He imagines a wedding and…
“We’re positive,” the doctor says, frowning. “How long will it take to get results?” Waylen asks the doctor. “If we’re lucky, we’ll figure out what the drug is quick,” the doctor says. “Unfortunately, some of the tests take a week. We’ll send you any results as soon as we get them.” Leilani chews her lip…
Leilani turns to Waylen and sees that he’s frowning. She vaguely remembers that Waylen hates crowded places, but she can’t remember why. Does he have a phobia? She wonders. Is he afraid of germs? No, that’s not it. The idea suddenly hits her—he hates physical contact. She quickly thinks about the time they’ve spent together…
Waylen ignores her and grabs a jar of sea salt. He begins to pour it into a pot of boiling water on the stove, and Leilani tries to snatch it from him. Her fingers brush the glass jar, and Waylen jerks his arm away. The jar tilts, and all of the salt spills into the…
“Why are you so shy?” she asks as the young guard’s face flushes bright red. “Aww brother, he’s blushing,” Jessica says with a laugh. “You know it’s really not fair to keep such handsome young men locked away from the world up here. “ “Shut up, Jessica,” Andrew says. He looks at the bodyguard, “Well,…
