Vanessa rubbed her eyes arising from the bed. When she opened her eyes, she saw the red and white coloured curtains hanging down all over the room. She was wearing a beautiful white gown with gorgeous flowers all over the floor. Two delicate big diamonds hung on the ring on her finger. Vanessa sighed, she was at last married.
Vanessa laid down again and began to think of how she ended up like this,
Her name is Vanessa Vincent she is only twenty-one this year and she had just been married to Andrew Laurent, one of the three richest men in the world. Her now-husband was of distinguished birth and held a high position in both politics and the stock market. It stands to reason, that as his wife she should have a splendid life, but unfortunately, she is merely a second spouse brought back to be a puppet wife.
Andrew Laurent and his original spouse, Lillian Laurent, grew up as childhood sweethearts, they were engaged since childhood and after reaching their eighteen birthday, got married, they naturally loved each other very deeply.
Lillian was a beautiful woman who would never go out and stayed at home all the time, Andrew and Lillian then had a son and daughter, Eric Laurent and Yvonna Laurent. Andrew's had a successful career and a loving family, what else could he want.
It's a pity that Andrew's life was too good, making others jealous. Lillian died when she was only twenty-six leaving Andrew at a loss, he's perfect life was shattered. In the end, Andrew put all his energy into his career making him the richest and most powerful man at the age of thirty-six. Yes, Vanessa married a man who was fifteen years older than her.
Probably because the relationship between Andrew and Lillian was too good, Andrew never remarried for the past fifteen years, no matter how much his cabinet members persuaded, Andrew, refused to re-marry.
So how did Vanessa get so lucky to be his second wife?
This is because of the largest Mafia organization, the Meganov organization, the leader wanted to leave the underworld and connect to one of the richest men to do this, and Andrew Laurent who had no wife had to be targeted, the leader wanted to make his daughter marry Andrew and use his influence to white-wash themselves.
Andrew as a political figure didn't want to get into such a thing, it was impossible to just deny the Mafia's Lord's request for the safety of his children, after all, it was his only weakness.
So Vanessa who was born as the daughter of the soon to be bankrupt Vincent family was married to a man of the same age as her father.
Vanessa was only an illegitimate daughter of the Vincent family. She lost her biological mother at the time of birth. She grew up under the so-called care of her stepmother since she was a child, and developed a cold and indifferent personality but on the surface, she showed a weak and timid attitude.
Andrew who just wanted a puppet wife, chose her looking at her attitude. Naturally he didn't care to check Vanessa's true nature, she was on the surface just a twenty one year old girl. On the day of the marriage, they just had a simple wedding ceremony and drove to the Laurent Mansion.
As soon as they entered the Laurent Mansion, Andrew drew a line between them, Andrew's ruthless words didn't make Vanessa feel even a little unhappy, she merely showed sadness and grief to make Andrew feel she was the harmless lamb he needed.
And presently this was the second day of her wedding, her room was in the isolated villa in this large estate, in this villa, she and her two maids sent by the Vincent Family will stay, but, of course, they weren't faithful to her, they were the greedy spy's for her stepmother.
Heh, you might feel it's ridiculous to call your stepmother's maids spy's but she who has been behaving timidly since childhood got maids who rather smoothen their nails than attend to her. Are these maids still her attendants? Heh.
Her stepmother is very shrewd, she married her into such a wealthy family for no reason? Of course not, she hopes that her daughter, Victoria Vincent to marry the youthful son of Laurent Mansion, Maxwell Laurent.
Vanessa sat up from her bed, glancing towards the door, nobody had even knocked to provide her breakfast, she hasn't had a bite of food from yesterday afternoon.
Vanessa turned around noticing the vase beside her, she calmly picked it up and tossed it down.
Hearing this, the stepmother's maid, Kylie strolled into her room without the slight formality of knocking.
"Hey Vanessa, why are you so graceless! That vase costs more than your whole worth! Ugh, what did Master Andrew see in you!"
Kylie sneered with a beautiful face and innocent-looking eyes.
Vanessa couldn't help but mentally laugh, an ordinary attendant could disrespect her even now, you can imagine how terrible they dealt with her back in the Vincent Mansion.
Vanessa stared straight into Kylie's eyes, noticing Kylie was about to get furious again, she spoke,
"Fetch me a dress suitable for today and also get some breakfast for me."
Listening to such orders, Kylie couldn't help but chuckle,
"Oh, Lady Vanessa wants clothes and delicious food now! Do you expect to distress the maids of Laurent mansion to make you? Breakfast for you? Hahaha.."
"What's so funny? Can't I have some breakfast as the new spouse of the Master of this house..?" Vanessa tilted her head and asked blankly.
"Are you ignoring my orders, Kylie?" Vanessa stood up and asked once again.
Kylie didn't care about Vanessa's unusual behaviour, for her, watching Vanessa grow into a spineless and introverted person she didn't even visualize her attempting to order others.
Feeling that she was being too nice to this foolish girl, Kylie yelled, "It's not me who isn't listening to your orders! What right do you possess to order me around! I am a maid of the Vincent Family and you are not from the Vincent family anymore, it was my madam's charity to get you married to the Laurent family!"
Kylie even raised her chin, back in the Vincent family whenever she intimidated Vanessa, she would quietly take the insult like a dumb twig making everyone laugh at her and today will be exactly the same.
