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.
“Not yet,” an assistant says. “He called the shop five minutes ago to say he’s on his way but stuck in bad traffic.” Leilani nods and closes her eyes. An endless buzzing sound forces her to open them again. She looks around the room, wondering what’s making the noise, and she sees her cellphone on…
Leilani spreads her fingers and holds her palm up to the woman. The skin is pale and clean—there’s not a single trace of makeup on her fingers. The woman snatches Leilani’s hand and holds it closer to her eyes, curling her lip with disgust—as if her hand is too filthy to touch. “I don’t believe…
“Oh well, I heard that Leilani was doing a photoshoot here today, and I came to watch and support her,” Rebecca says. “I see,” Robert replies. “But you better not go in there right now—I think Miss Peters is changing.” “That’s no matter,” Rebecca says. “I’m her friend—she won’t mind me coming in.” Leilani bends…
He snaps his fingers, and two bodyguards step forward, holding a weak-looking man between them. The man has a pale doughy face and nervous blue eyes, and the way he leans into the guards suggests he can’t stand on his own. “Leilani, you need to open your eyes and see what type of man you’re…
Waylen scowls and grabs her by the shoulders, spinning her around, so her back is to him. A rough and heavy hand grabs the zipper on her back and pulls it down. Her dress falls to the floor in a white puddle around her feet, and she crosses her arms over her bare b.r.e.a.s.ts. He…
If he really didn’t care about me, he wouldn’t have saved me in the church, she thinks. He wouldn’t have risked his life for me like that. Her stomach twists and turns as she remembers his voice on the phone—he was so calm and businesslike as he talked to the kidnappers. How could he listen…
“What condition?” Leilani asks. “When she lost the baby, she snapped,” Waylen says. “She spends most of her time at a psychiatric hospital now.” Leilani swallows and watches Leonie make her way across the garden. It’s shocking how much she’s changed in a month. Her typical arrogance and poise have vanished, leaving her broken and…
Andrew closes his eyes and tries to remember what happened at the church. He sees Leilani looking pale and lovely in a white dress, and then it all floods back. Waylen’s objection, Leilani shooting him in the leg, and then the blinding white light of the explosion. “Give me my phone,” he rasps. Jamie passes…
His eyes crinkle, and he asks, “Is that a bad thing? Don’t I look charming when I smile?” “You look more than charming,” she says lightly. “You look dangerously handsome. I’m only worried you’re going to have to fend off more women than before.” He shakes his head seriously and says, “Let them try. You’re…
“I’m afraid not,” Emily answers. “She had to go to an important conference today. The only good news is she took Crystal with her—so you don’t have to worry about running into her.” Leilani nods and says, “I guess I’ll just get the cufflinks and be on my way then. I have to meet my…
