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.
“If you’re a newcomer, you better prove yourself,” someone shouts from the far corner of the room. “You have to pay tribute when you start here. Go buy Crystal her breakfast.” “Listen to you all,” Emily says nervously. “Sophie said—” Leilani interrupts Emily and says, “I’d be happy to buy you all breakfast. I’m looking…
Crystal is cunning, Leilani thinks. She knows just how to manipulate everyone around her, and she must be planning something now. I’m sure she knows something about this ring that I don’t. If I agree to look at it, she might find a way to blame it all on me. But if I refuse, she’ll…
“Fluke luck,” Crystal says, turning on her heel and strutting away. The other employees huddled in a small circle and started whispering amongst themselves. Leilani can see them casting secret looks at her, but she has no interest in eavesdropping on them. It’s only the first day, but she’s already tired of their drama. Emily…
He takes Leilani’s hand in his, and his grip is as firm as iron. Still, he’s patient and slow as he climbs the stairs, worried that too much activity will be bad for her pregnancy. The bodyguards walk in front with their guns in their hands—ready to fight any surprise attackers lurking in the stairs.…
“Waylen?” Leilani asks as she bends over and touches Waylen’s shoulder. She repeats it louder, shaking Waylen’s arm back and forth. Thick blood is caked across Waylen’s face and head, and he seems completely unconscious. It’s impossible to tell what sort of injuries he has. Andrew isn’t even sure if Waylen is alive. Leilani kneels…
“I need some time to prepare it all,” Leilani says. “I’ll come to you as soon as Waylen is in full recovery.” “You’re just trying to delay it,” Andrew complains. “No, I’m not,” Leilani says irritably. “Any delay is bad for Charles. I promised you six months, and you’re going to get six months, but…
“Waylen, you shielded me from a bomb with your body, how could I possibly be hurt?” Leilani asks. “I’m your husband,” he whispers. “I have a duty to keep you safe.” Leilani looks away to hide the tears, filling her eyes. She wants to take his hand tenderly and softly kiss the uninjured fingers, but…
Leilani shrugs and says, “It’s not a big deal for me. Besides, after you go to the toilet, I’ll give you a foot bath. It might help with your fever.” Waylen’s eyes flicker, and his lips curl into a slight smile. Leilani guiltily realizes she rarely offers to do anything for him. But he’s done…
Waylen wrinkles his forehead and says, “No, I’d rather not.” “Why not?” Leilani asks. “Last time you made me a gift, you left me,” Waylen explains. “I treasure your gifts, but I treasure you more. I’d rather have you than a thousand gifts.” Leilani looks away guiltily, knowing that she plans on leaving him again.…
“Oh, I didn’t mean to say that,” Leonie lies, opening her eyes wide and covering her mouth with her hand. “Tell me, dear,” Florence says. “Well, a few nights ago, I saw something, but I kept it a secret because I didn’t want to upset you,” Leonie says. “But I guess you should know just…
