Taming my billionaire husband

"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 your daughter, only God knows! She is just a b*stard who doesn't know who her father is! "

" Vanessa, do you want to know how your grand mother died? How your parents died? hmm. "

" I killed them. It was their fault for loving you and leaving all the properties of the Lawson family to you. She said that I was her granddaughter, they said I was their daughter, that they would treat us equally. Yet, when faced with interest they only thought of you the child with their blood flowing in her veins! Don't blame me cause it's all your fault! Why did you have to come back, why? "

" Vanessa Lawson, go to hell! "

" Boo hoo... "

Khloe's words echoed in her ears but all Vanessa thought of was her daughter, she heard her daughters cries were getting weaker and weaker every passing minute which made her panic and beg for her child to be saved. Be it the property of the Lawson's or Francis; she didn't care one bit as long as her daughter lived.

But...

She had nothing left... Nothing

Vanessa walked out of the hospital with her daughters tiny cold body in her arms. It was dark outside and severely cold as it was the time of winter yet she couldn't feel the colds bite as her heart was in so much pain it ached, with hollow eyes and a blank look on her face she walked down the road, tears did not stop rolling down her cheeks, they fell endlessly. She cried as her baby's death slowly sinks in. At this point , her heart was numb, she could barely feel a thing. Instead, she could only feel regret.

...

Vanessa was the biological daughter of the Lawson's, who had been exchanged by accident. When the family reconnected with her three years ago, she became the second daughter of the Lawson family. It turned out that her parents had developed a bond with the first daughter; Khloe. Who had lived with them for more than 20 years.

Vanessa's parents were reluctant to drive their adopted daughter away. Thus, the two children who had been exchanged at birth stayed with the Lawson's family. Vanessa was 21 years old when she returned to the Lawson family. Her relationship with her parents was strained, she barely had a relationship with her grandmother. Her biological parents were worried she would find it difficult to fit into the upper class society. They wanted to get her married to a good family once she gets accustomed to the life of the upper class socialite.

At the time several wealthy families in New Haven wanted to marry into the Lawson family. Even the wealthiest family in New Haven, the Quinn's, came to propose. The Quinns took a fancy to Vanessa the biological daughter of the Lawson family.

However Vanessa, was not interested, love made her a blind fool as she fell for Francis Woods and refused to marry the young master of the Quinns family Leonardo Quinn's.

Leonardo Quinns was the most eligible bachelor in New Haven, a god in business but unfortunately he was involved in an accident that led to him being crippled. Every one in New Haven believed he has lost the ability to function as a man should causing all the daughters of prominent families to turn their heads away as none wanted to live the life of a widow and be childless. Ever since the accident His already bad temper became worst his servants were cautious when dealing with him even his family were careful in his presence.

Although Mr and Mrs Lawson didn't expect her to accept to marry into the Quinns family, they were against her marrying into the Woods family either but Vanessa was stubborn and insisted on marrying Francis. Ultimately, her parents could not stop her and finally agreed to her demand and rejected the proposal from the Quinns.

...

Vanessa crossed the road in a daze.

Honk!

Squeak!

The sound of an emergency brake echoed through the sky.

Bang!

She was thrown into the air by the car before falling to the ground.

Thud!

Blood quickly started to pool around her, pain bagan to spread throughout her body as she tried to crawl towards her daughter. The impact of the car had seperated her from her daughter and all she wanted was to die with her daughter in her arms.

"Baby..."

Vanessa struggled to move her body as she crawled forward, moving her body inch by inch and getting closer to her daughter yet she still couldn't touch her.

"Baby..."

Suddenly a pair of big feet in brown leather shoes appeared in her increasingly blurred vision. The man bent down to carry her child's body and shoved it into her arms.

"Baby"

Vanessa held her daughter tightly as blood from the corner of her mouthsmeared all over her daughter. Her injuries were severe and she was beginning to lose consciousness. She raised her head with difficulty to look at her savior, only to see a man dressed in black sitting on a wheelchair.

Even the wheelchair did not affect his nobility in the slightest.

She recognized him, after her baby had been thrown to the ground and seriously injured by Francis and Khloe she ran out with her baby in her arms, stopped a car and told the driver to take her to the hospital. The man in the wheelchair was in the car however he allowed her in and instructed the driver to send them all the way to the hospital.

Although her child didnt make it, she was grateful to him for his kindness. When their eyes met, she smiled at him.

Leonardo Quinns.

...

"Gasp!"

Vanessa woke up with a gasp and shot up, she was drenched in sweat. She's been having this same dream ever since she got reincarnated and lost her memory of the past. she only remembers getting married to Francis but everything after that was a blur, she usually wakes up after being hit by a car and the faces in the dream was always blurry but now she actually saw the faces of the people who tortured her, and caused her to live in that nightmare. The person who helped her when she was at her lowest was none other than Leonardo!

Vanessa got out of her bed and stared at herself in the mirror.

In her dream Francis who she is in love with caused her pain and killed her child not only that but he cheated on her with her sister and they both connived to steal her family's properties. The person who helped her is the ruthless man, Leonardo Quinn who she just rejected his proposal. She could still feel her heart racing as she rushes into the bathroom to take a quick shower and gather her thoughts, she gets ready and heads over to The Paradise; a seven star hotel known for its excellent delicacies. Leonardo frequents as it's one of his family's business owned under the Quinns empire that is being managed by his younger brother Alexander.

It is known in all of New Haven that the current head of the Quinns family is Leonardo, he has the power to shake up the business world with a flick of his finger. Leonardo was trained to head the family from birth by his grand parents. He is a cold and domineering man who isn't challenged by anyone except for his nemesis Sebastian, from childhood Sebastian competes with him for everything. Sebastian Crawford his the head of the Crawford family, no matter how much effort he puts into family he is always a step behind Leonardo leaving him as the second most feared man in New Haven. Sebastian has worked with multiple cooperations behind the scenes to bring down the Quinns empire but all plans were futile. Their rivalry is known to all in New Haven and beyond. Vanessa drive into the underground parking lot and surprisingly sees Leonardo being pushed into the hotel's private elevator, she calls out "Master Leonardo!"
