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.
As she passes Waylen’s table, she nods cooly at her father. She wants to stop and apologize for her impatience. She wants to ask him what room he’s staying in and invite him to dinner, but he stares past her as if she isn’t there at all. She sighs and continues out to the elevators.…
A murmur fills the room. Although most of the guests are wealthy and influential, very few have the kind of money and power to gain exclusive property rights in the city. The Oliver family owns almost all of the land, and they rarely sell it to anyone outside of the family. Controlling even some of…
Andrew raises his eyebrows and takes her hand in his. His face is serious, but his eyes are gentle. “Why didn’t you just tell me?” he asks. “Your business is my business, you know. I would have done anything to help.” Leilani stares at him in shock and surprise. She’s used to him making s.e.x.u.a.l…
“I have to talk to Jackson,” Jessica says. “This is ridiculous.” “The game isn’t over yet,” James says with a smirk. “Maybe her father will win.” He passes her a pair of binoculars, and she raises them to her face to better see the card game below. The dealer shuffles the cards over and over…
Anthony wipes the sweat from his forehead and takes the ball. The audience bursts into applause again. Leilani ducks under the bodyguard’s arm and runs to her father. She grabs the back of his jacket and tugs him away from the wheel. “Are you crazy?” she asks. “Stop this right now! You’ve already won so…
There are already several men and women seated at the table. They’re in the middle of the game, but Jackson snaps his fingers, and the dealer stops. The players groan and complain, but as soon as they see Jackson, they leap from their chairs and rush away. “Don’t you want to know what my chip…
Jessica groans and slumps against the banister. She’s not sure which is worse—waiting for Leilani to move or listening to James make bad gambling puns. She looks at the chandelier and notices that Gabrielle is standing under it. She seems to be trying to avoid the intensity of the crowd. Jessica smiles and straightens up.…
She runs down the stairs to the casino floor as fast as her stiletto heels will let her. The casino staff is already sweeping up the broken glass when she gets there. She rushes over to Andrew and sees that he’s removed his coat. His white shirt is soaked with bright red blood. Her breath…
Leilani stares at the guard in disbelief. She assumed Jackson was behind the attack, but it makes sense that it was Jessica. Leilani suddenly remembers Jessica’s warning to stay away from Andrew. I guess I should have taken her seriously, she thinks. After all, she bribed a police officer to beat me at the police…
Leilani stares at the paper in horror. I should have known it was a wedding invitation the moment I saw it, she thinks. But Andrew never talked to me about choosing a date. I don’t even know when my wedding is. She glares at Andrew, but he’s too busy smiling at Waylen to notice. “When…
