Everyone was shocked including Vanessa, Khloe was confused. 'Why would Leonardo protect Vanessa? it can't be because of her looks. He hadn't met her in the last, either... Even though Vanessa is pretty, I'm sure a man of his status has seen other prettier girls. Maybe it's time I get to know this little sister of mine a little better. I can't afford to allow Leonardo to continue protecting her!' "Master Leonardo..." Mr lawson was about to say something when Leonardo shot h a fierce glare. Mr lawson immediately swallowed the words that has been at the tip of his tongue. "Go and pack your bags. I want you to leave with me now. I hate waiting, so I'll give you ten minutes to pack up. If you are late, I'll leave without you." Leonardo had been protective of Vanessa just moments ago but he soon returned to his usual cold, expressionless face as he gave orders to Vanessa. Vanessa froze after hearing his words. "Do you want me to follow you? Where are we going?" 'I can't just follow hi
Leonardo stared at Mr lawson with out explaining himself. Leonardo didn't have the habit of explaining himself. Mr lawson felt some what awkward at the silence, so although it was only a mere twelve minutes it felt as long as a decade. Vanessa returned downstairs with her luggage in less than ten minutes. Leonardo seemed rather pleased when he saw how punctual she was and wondered why she had to drag for extra two minutes when she didn't even need it. "Are you done packing? Do you need a few more minutes?" He spoke in a sarcastic tone. "It's fine. I'm done." Vanessa wasn't going to fall for his trap. He pressed his lips together, some what disappointed that she didn't fall for it. He realized that it was fun to mess around with Vanessa, every time he saw how shocked she was by his actions. He felt delighted! Since she's clinging to me, she deserves to be scared by me! "Let's go." Leonardo said Vanessa nodded and dragged her luggage along with her. After taking a few steps, she r
It was highly stressful to be in the same car as Leonardo. He sat in an upright posture with an icy look on His face. He stared into the blank space in front of him, making it hard for Vanessa to start a conversation with him even though she wanted to. 'This is extremely exhausting...' "Are you done staring at me?" Then, suddenly the iceberg parted his lips to speak. "Am I allowed to continue staring at you if I'm not done?" she ask with a light tilt of her head. Leonardo turned his head lightly to stare at her for a moment before giving her an order. "Take out your phone." She did as she was told. "Point your phone camera toward me and take a few pictures of me. Then, I want you to set me as your wallpaper. That way, you can just stare at your phone when ever you feel like seeing me. I won't charge you for it." Vanessa was left speechless at his bold words. But she then followed his orders and took a few pictures accordingly. After she had taken the photos, she actually set his
She beamed. "If you like it, I can give you tiny gifts daily, Leonardo." "I got it. From tomorrow onward, I want to receive a gift from you when I get home every single day. I want as many gifts as possible, and I don't want you to buy them just for the sake of buying them. They better be thoughtful gifts." She stared at him speechlessly. Why does it feel like I just dug my own grave? Vanessa's troubled expression made Leonardo unhappy as he looked at her, so he pinched her cheeks again. However, she wasn't having it this time and slapped his hand away from her face mercilessly with a glare. "Leonardo just say whatever is on your mind. I'll listen and try my best to remember it wholeheartedly. You don't have to pinch my face to remind me every time. It hurts." Since it would hurt, he should let her pinch his cheeks in return. Only then would it be fair. "There are a lot of women out there who want to give me presents, but I've never accepted any one of them. You should
By saying those words, Leonardo meant to tell Vanessa that it was her decision to try to force him to marry her because she wanted to take up the responsibility. He agreed to marry her, not out of love but for a free nanny. Unfortunately for her, the future awaiting her was not full of the sweetness she must have imagined but rather his capricious temper, torments and endless ways of humiliating her. However, Vanessa wasn't angry. In the face of that, she smiled and responded in a cheeky tone. "Leonardo, I, Vanessa Lawson, am not a person who breaks my promise. So, as long as I've promised someone, I will definitely keep my word and fulfill it no matter what it cost me." After marrying Francis in her previous life, it was akin to her wings being broken and ruthlessly ripped off her back, thereby she willingly became his housewife, but what awaited her was a terrifying end that not only claimed her life but that of her loved ones. Even after she had compared the odds, she still
"Khloe stop! Francis stop her please, I'm begging you!" Vanessa pleaded as she saw Khloe her so-called sister drop her five months old daughter to the ground harshly, hearing her child cry caused her to feel unbearable and helpless as she was restrained by two burly men, her struggles were fruitless. "Please have mercy Francis she is your daughter!" She begs her husband who just stands and watch the scene unfold with a look of disgust in his eyes as he says "who's daughter? She is not mine!" He smirks as he pulls Khloe into his embrace "Even you don't know who the father of your child is. " Khloe sneers " Francis only ever loved me, you were just his wife on papers that b*stard child of yours isn't his cause he never touched you! Did you think he will father a child with you just because he married you? He is the father of my son. Your daughter is merely a b*stard! " " I'm sure you didn't expect this, the man that night wasn't Francis, as for who is the biological father of you
Leonardo's body guards looked at her warily while Leonardo didn't react to the voice he heard, the gaurd pushing him didn't stop as he was not instructed to stop. Vanessa runs and blocks his path with her hands akimbo"why didn't you stop when I called out to you?"Leonardo stared at her with his ice cold eyes and Vanessa trembled but she still stood her ground stubbornly "Move!" That one word was voiced with so much coldness that Vanessa felt a chill go down her spine but still refused to back down"Master Leonardo." "Speak!"His voice was low, cold and commanding when he opened his mouth to speak.Vanessa bit the insides of her cheeks as she was nervous and didn't know how to start when faced with Leonardo's expressionless face."Master Leonardo.""Get her out of my sight!"Leonardo had already lost his patience even before hearing her out and ordered his men to take her out.Vanessa didn't want to go, she didn't want to repeat what happened in her past life as she believed her d
"I'm busy, you guys have fun!" His voice was cold and devoid of emotion as always. He didn't even wait for a response before he hung up. Beep! Jonas stares at his phone to see that the call has ended, he sighs heavily. "He still doesn't wish to see us?" He picks up a framed picture he keeps on his desk, in the picture you could see two young college boys. One had a smile so bright it could put the sun to shame while the other was the complete opposite, on his face was a frown of displeasure and he didn't seem enthusiastic for the photo. "Time does change ." He sets the picture back in place and resumes work on his laptop. ...
