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.
“Do you really know why?” Leilani asks raising her eyebrows. “I can’t imagine any reason good enough for what you did.” “I was ill,” Waylen says. “Robert tells me I was on the verge of death. My plane was forced to make an emergency landing because of the storm, and then I wasn’t strong enough…
Waylen walks down the hallway to his study. His phone beeps, and he sees that Robert has posted on a popular advice website. Waylen reads the question: When your wife is angry at you, what do you do to make her feel better? He rolls his eyes and laughs bitterly. Within a few minutes, a…
“This is the beginning of your end.” Gabrielle shakes and presses her back more firmly into the wall. Jackson’s rage terrifies her, and she has no idea what he might do if he sees her spying on him. She chews the inside of her lip and slowly peeks around the door again. “The Bamford are…
“I don’t see how that’s possible,” Waylen says. “I can’t imagine Andrew giving up the heart.” “I don’t think he would,” Robert says. “The doctors informed our men that Andrew’s health is much poorer than it seems. They say he might not survive another surgery. It doesn’t seem likely he’d risked his life for Charles.”…
“I’m not here to see you, I mean.” “I didn’t ask if you were here to see me,” Bryan says with a slow wink. “Anyway, that’s a very poor lie—you’ve always been a terrible liar.” Gabrielle bites her lip and looks down at her shoes so Bryan can’t see her face. When they were children,…
“Whose car is that?” Leilani demands. Robert shakes his head and whispers more instructions to the driver. Leilani opens her purse and fumbles through it until her hand touches something cold and metal. She pulls the small gun from the purse and leans forward to show it to Robert. “Let’s just play it by ear…
“Just a wrong number.” “We need to get you both to safety,” Robert says. “It looks like they’ve stopped the attack, but it could be some sort of trick. I’m guessing that you were the target, Mrs. Bamford. Your sister will be safer back at her campus than with you. I’ll send extra bodyguards just…
“One,” Jackson whispers against her ear. His breath is hot and distracting, and she closes her eyes to concentrate. Maybe there’s some way I can trick him, she thinks. Pretending to have my period worked with Andrew, but I had time to prepare fake blood for that. I don’t think Jackson would just take my…
“Why won’t you talk to me?” Waylen asks. His face is twisted with godlike anger, and he paces around the room as if he’s looking for something. He throws open the dressing room door, checks behind curtains, and even gets down on all fours to look under the bed. Leilani bites her tongue to keep…
Leilani climbs out of bed and crosses to the dressing room. She’s already decided on a simple, professional black dress and blazer. She steps into the dress and reaches around to pull the zipper, but it gets stuck halfway up. There’s barely a bump on her stomach, but she has already gained weight. She tugs…
