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 dreams were a warning to her and a way to change her fate or what happened before she reincarnated. " Master Leonardo, I'll marry you! I want to marry you!" Leonardo was the one person who helped her before she reincarnated, he helped her when she was at her lowest, when she needed help the most, and because of that she believes she can change her fate by marrying him! Even if he had a bad temper, lacked patience, was crippled, indifferent and cold by nature, she was willing to marry him and live with him for the rest of her life. After all he saved her so he mustn't be that bad, right? Everyone in the parking lot was stunned by Vanessa's sudden remark. However, he sneered at her "Ms Lawson, are you sure you didn't knock yourself hard on your head before coming here? You, yourself said you wouldn't marry me even if forced and threatened to commit suicide if we tried to pressure you into marrying me." Immediately, her face turned red when she heard what he said "Master Leonardo, I-I'm being serious. I've thought it through. Even I don't know what caused me to act like that but I'm willing to marry you and care for you all my life." Whatever the case was, she wanted to marry him and change everything that happened especially the deaths of her loved ones. "Ah!" He scoffed "Do you not mind my crippled legs? Aren't you afraid that I'll drag you down for life, making you childless and a widow? Aren't you afraid of how inhumane I am because if my injuries? " " I don't care about any of that! " Vanessa retorted. After that horrifying dream her memories came back, everything she experienced in her past life. She knows it's crazy and no one will believe she came back in time but she did and refuses to make the same mistake she did before. She was going to make sure those who wronged her in her previous life suffer what she did tenfolds. She'll make them regret it and to do that she has to be strong, she has to be in the top of the food chain. How else can she do that if not by marrying the man at the top; Leonardo Quinns. She can repay him for his help in her past life and also get revenge by marrying him, that's killing two birds with a stone! On the day of her death all she felt was regret. "Ms Lawson, who do you think I am? I, Leonardo Quinns, is not someone that you can come to and leave as you please." Leonardo stared at Vanessa coldly and added " It wasn't my idea to go to your family and propose. I never had any feelings for you! " As soon as she heard this, all colors drained from her face. "Get out now!" She bit her lower lips as her large, beautiful eyes were fixed on him. Out of the blue, hse threw herself in to his arms. She didn't stop at just a hug and quickly tore the buttons off Leonardo's shirt and pulled it apart to reveal his muscular chest before she buried her head in his shoulder and took a hard bite turning the skin there red. This made him gasp in pain. Was this woman a dog? Did she bite him, she actually bit him?! What a mad woman! Leonardo, shoved her with both hands before pushing the woman who bit him like a rabid dog away. Vanessa, who was shoved fell to the ground. The bodyguards, who had returned to their senses but they didn't dare move. They stared at her with an indiscribable expression. No one dared to behave like this with their young master before. Who gave this woman courage? "Master Leonardo, I've marked you. So now you are my responsibility." Vanessa got off the ground and said to Leonardo with a smile "It's either you propose and I marry you or I'll propose and you'll marry me!" When the bodyguards heard this they almost gasped out loud. They wanted to applaud her for her courage, they thought she deserves an award for such display of bravery. At this point, Leonardo's face was as black as coal. Then, Vanessa walked back to him again, bent down and tidied his clothes. However, he raised his hands and pushed away the pair of outstretched hands. He stared at her for a long while before asking coldly "Vanessa Lawson, do you really want to marry me?" She nodded like a chicken picking grains " I do! " When he saw this, he sneered "No regrets?" "No regrets! ' She was excited thinking he'll finally accept her proposal "You'll have to prove your sincerity" Leonardo said coldly with an evil glint dancing in his eyes, if one looked closely they would see his slightly upturned lips. Vanessa was struck as she didn't know how to prove her sincerity to him. "How can I prove my sincerity to you?" She asked while staring at him pleadingly with her big doe like eyes. Leonardo turns his head away from her as be thought *her expressions are quite cute* but kept a passive expression on his face not showing even a hint of emotion. The bodyguards knew how difficult it is to deal with the young master so they pitied Vanessa as it seems the young master has decided to bully her. "Don't worry Master Leonardo, I'll pursue you till you marry me. That way I can prove my sincerity to you!" She said while beaming a smile at him. Leonardo looked at her with darkened eyes and scoffed "Do you think you are up to the task?" Every one in New Haven knows that the only daughter of the Meyers, Alice has been pursuing Leonardo but still couldn't win his affection. So the bodyguards thought it wouldn't be any different. Vanessa bent and stared him in the eyes "Just give me a chance, okay?" "I give you one months, if you can't convince me to marry you then forget it. You're not worth my time" " One! Six months, I mean it will take quite a while to melt that frozen heart of yours" everyone was stunned, Leonardo stared at Vanessa coldly. Only Vanessa knew how frightening it was to actually speak to Leonardo, she cold feel a sweat rolling down her back. "What do you say?" "I'm not giving anymore time, it's one month and that's it!" " Four months, have mercy on this poor soul Master Leonardo. " " Why should I? " " Cause I will become your wife" she replied arrogantly Leonardo sneered " three months, I don't have time to waste on this useless banter" he gestured to Roddy the chief bodyguard to push him into the elevator "That's a good deal, I'll take it. So for the next three months I'll chase you!" She said with her voice raised so he could hear her as they were about to enter the elevator "Even to the end of the earth! You can't run from me Master Leonardo, you're mine now!" Ding! The elevator door closes, "How noisy!" Leonardo says with a tch at the end. Vanessa stood there for a while with her heart beating fast against her chest " I can't believe I just did that" she murmured as she approached her car " I can do this, I have to do this! " She said with determination in her eyes. She enters her car and drives off. In the silent elevator a phone rings, Leonardo takes out his phone "speak" as soon as he said that he heard the voice of his friend Jonas B**e. "Leo, when are you free? Bro it's been a while since we last hung out together. The squad misses you man, what do you say? " Ever since his accident he refused to meet up with his friends, he believes he will ruin the time and turn the atmosphere sullen. He opens his mouth and says...Leonardo closed the magazine and said, "I'm not waiting for her." Vincent answered with a smile, "Yes, Master Leonardo, you're not waiting for Young Mistress Vanessa. You just felt like reading the magazine. Why don't you take your nap now? You still need to head to the office this afternoon." Now that Leonardo was in a wheelchair, Vincent had hoped that Leonardo would rest at home to continue with his physical rehabilitation, but Leonardo insisted on continuing to manage Quinn Empire. Vincent knew that it was not about Leonardo wanting to hold onto his power. Leonardo simply wanted to prove to the world that he was alive and kicking despite his accident. He was still a force to be reckoned with, and he did not need anyone's sympathy. Although, it would be hard-pressed to find another person like Leonardo amongst the Quinn. No one was as bold and shrewd as he was when it comes to business. While the other young masters were also talented in their own right, none of them coul
Leonardo thought about it but could not think of anything to say that would scare her, so he simply added, "If you lose and want to cry about it, then come back and cry about it to me. I will avenge you after all, you are my woman."He would be getting married to her, and regardless of what their relationship was like, she would still his wife. It was within his power to protect her. If anyone mistreated her, he would avenge her. Vanessa was moved beyond words by his promise, a faint pink color painted her cheeks. In her past life she had rejected his proposal and angered him and the Quinn's family because of it. But when she fell into a state of despair, he was still willing to step forward and lend her a helping hand. It was then that she knew that he was not as cold and uncaring as he appeared to be. He was truly a good man. It was just that... his temper was a little unpredictable. His emotions flipped like a switch sometimes."Leonardo, I'm positive that I'll be able to hold on
What a cunning fox! By the time the couple finished their meal, they received word that D'Angelo had arrived. The bodyguards cleared the table.Vanessa went forward and pushed Leonardo's wheelchair out of the pavilion. When she heard that D'Angelo had come, she kept looking around for him. Leonardo noticed her movements and turned around to ask, "Do you like D'Angelo?" "Nope. I like you, Leo!"Vanessa was not foolish enough to step on this landmine set by Leonardo. In any case, she was telling the truth She had no feelings toward D'Angelo in her past life, she never got to make an appointment with him to do her hair. It was her lingering sense of regret that drove her to look around for him.Leonardo's temper was appeased by her declaration. He commented neutrally, "Not many people have the ability to convince D'Angelo to make a house call.""I know that. Thank you, Leo. You've been so nice to me!"Vanessa was a master of flattery. While Leonardo hated flattery from others, he d
Leonardo did not pick up her call. However, Vanessa did not give up, and on the sixth attempt, he finally answered his phone. "Leo," Vanessa greeted in a sweet voice. He did not respond. "Leo, I can't find my way in. Can you get someone to lead the way for me?" No response again. "Leo..." Vanessa's voice grew soft and pleading. Perhaps her tone had been sweet enough to melt the iceberg of the man because he uttered coldly, "Stay where you are. Someone will come get you." "Okay. Thank you, Leo." Leonardo was the one who caused her predicament, but she still had to thank him. Vanessa was rather disgruntled, but she had no choice. After all, she was the one living under his roof, so she had to be the one who gave in. After hanging up the phone, Leonardo called his butler over and instructed him, "Mr. Clayton, go and lead the way fo her. She doesn't remember her way in." Vincent nodded respectfully. "Alright." Leonardo was about to move away in his wheelchair when a though
What did it have to do with him if the driver wasn't afraid of getting into an accident and liked to speed?Leonardo's motorcade kept a safe distance while following behind the Porsche that was being driven like it was a plane.Meanwhile, the driver of the Porsche was Vanessa. She was in a hurry to return to the Quinns, so she drove quickly.Actually, she wasn't a newbie, but this was a new car, and she cherished it. That was why she placed that sticker to remind others not to knock into her vehicle. At first, she didn't know the motorcade consisting of cars that cost millions belonged to her Boyfriend. However, when she saw the cars were still behind her after she stopped at the entrance of Quinn's Mansion, she finally realized that the motorcade belonged to Leonardo.-As she realized that, Leonardo also guessed the identity of the Porsche. He was the head of the Quinns Family, so he knew all the license plates for each car owned by the Quinns. Since he was unfamiliar with the Porsc
Just as the family of three exited the building, Khloe came chasing with the bouquet Francis brought."Nessa." She ran with the flowers and stopped in front of Vanessa before giving them to her while explaining with a soft and gentle smile, "Francis asked me to help give you these flowers on his behalf. He said you had misunderstood him and were unwilling to receive these flowers. Actually, you did misunderstand him, Nessa. He didn't visit you because he was swamped. Now that he's done with his work, he came to visit you immediately, didn't he?" However, Vanessa didn't accept the flowers. She looked at the bouquet and found it was arranged with roses and baby's breath. Although it was arranged beautifully, they weren't flowers that she liked."I don't like roses," she stated as she looked at Khloe. Then, she argued, Mommy and I decided to come over in a spur of a moment, so how could Francis have known that I would be at the office and to come with flowers? Can he predict the futu
