His Contractual Mistress

"Hail, Galvin is also here." Gigi immediately phoned Hailey after she arrived at her suite. "Anyway, it turned out that he plans to marry the daughter of Senator Gu." 

On the other end of the call, Hailey creases her forehead. She queried, "Senator Gu? Then, that girl's name is Lory Gu?" 

"Yes, and she will attend the launching party this Saturday. Now that Liam and Galvin had Senator Gu's backing, they will be freely roaming Metro City." Gigi envisioned it already. So then, they must be extra careful from now on. 

After Hailey ran an investigation about Howie Gu, she learns all the names of the Gu family members, and they only have one daughter. 

"It may be true they have influences here in Metro City, but the Gu family is inferior to the Lopez family throughout P Country when it comes to power," said Hailey as she went on. "The Lopez family is a huge family, and they hold most businesses in the Country." 

"Hm… They owned most of the malls all around the country. Why don't you tell Vince about your situation, which involves your true identity? In that way, Vince can use the influence of his family." 

"Precisely, Hilda Lopez family. And telling Vince is not that easy. This is not the one I want him to see about me. Someone who is tangled with the Mafia that I was the sort of successor of an underground world Lord."

"Do you have a choice? Besides, you once told me. Probably one of Vince's cousins is also a member of the Mafia Association. Maybe that person who you must speak to? Also, his other cousins are helping him deal with the gossip in his absence. I think they could help to suppress the Gu family when it comes to politics. In that way, Liam and Galvin would have difficulties touching you here in P Country. Not to mention the Cole and Vazquez families." 

"You're right, Gigi. However, you knew among everyone else how the Huo cousins were full of dirty tricks. They won't care to kill anyone. I will only put Vince's cousins into a bloody fight, which is actually not their fight." 

"And you think Vince is not ready to kill someone for you? He came home when a huge issue erupted and dragged your name into it." 

Hailey heaves a long sigh. "I know Vince would do any means to protect me, which he already did these past months we are together. And at those times, we're just faking our relationship. He's worried about me, so you are right. He'll become an angry lion once someone hurts me." 

"See? Then the more he will do anything for you! In your situation right now, you can't freely move around the city because you are hiding your identity. Not to mention that Liam is watching closely at you, and he could do that easily with the resources from Gu family." 

Hailey could not agree more. However, she still has uncertainties. If ever, she would stir huge trouble in P Country. 

"I need to think about it, Gigi," she said afterward. "But for now, we need to ensure that everything went well during the launch. After that, I have to make a decision regarding a possible fight against Liam and whether I have to tell Vince about him. By now, let's focus on how we can get my knights to watch the security during our launch without Liam and Galvin recognizing them." 

"I will speak to Leticia. Maybe we can ask her dad's help." Gigi suggested.

"That's right. Leticia's father is a retired general of the Arm Forces of P Country. He has connections we could take advantage of. We needed to meet up and have a final meeting."

Gigi agreed. "We need that, yes. I will set a meeting tomorrow. Are you okay with that?" 

"Yeah. I'm good." Hailey approved. 

After Hailey ended the call, Gigi dropped her body to the sofa. She felt the stress creeping through her body. Tonight, she wants to have a good sleep. She doesn't want to remember her encounter with Galvin. It will only boil her blood. 

Her eyes caught a wine bottle and glasses on the table; she poured some wine for herself. Instantly, Gigi gulped the entire wine in her glass. She was agitated, and this is because of Galvin Huo. 

Gigi poured more wine on her glass and drank it in one go. 

Meanwhile, Tom was in the bathroom, taking a shower. Gigi's suite has only one bedroom. But since he pretended to be her boyfriend, he has to stay in the same suite, and his only choice is to sleep on the couch. 

Wearing only a bath towel around his waist, Tom got out of the bathroom and strode toward his luggage in the living room. 

His mouth dropped open, staring at the drunk woman lying on the sofa. Tom raised a brow while he scanned the wine on the table, then returned his gaze toward Gigi. 

'This woman could not hold her liquor?' No wonder she only drank a little earlier when they had dinner. 

"Hey, go to your bed if you want to sleep." Tom leaned over and shook Gigi's shoulder. But he noticed the beads of sweat on her forehead. She's also breathing heavily. No, she was shivering, and her body was on fire. "Hey! What happened? Gigi?" 

Tom had a bad feeling about it. He's confused about whether his guess is correct. But it's impossible, otherwise...

"I… He… help me." Gigi whispered in a hoarse voice; then, she was coughing. 

"What's going on with you?" He asked while he's helping her drink some water. 

"I… I felt strange…." Gigi could only stammer through her words. She wanted to explain it to Tom, but she felt uncomfortable. "Wine…" 

"Wine? What do you me…" The wine! Tom immediately picks up the wineglass and sniffs on it. He took the bottle and poured some wine on the glass, and drank it. 

Tom shrunk his gorgeous eyes, which turned into dark blue pupils. The effect is not fast but potent. 'Damn it! Who put some drugs on the wine?' 

He scooped Gigi from the sofa and brought her to the bathtub inside her bedroom. Tom filled the tub with cold water, but he knew it wouldn't help her that much. 

"You… why did you drink it as well?" Gigi asked him. 

Tom gape at the woman inside his arms. Her cheeks are flushed red, and tears are flooding her eyes. 

"I want to check if it mixed some drugs with the wine." 

He watched her dark brown eyes widened from shock. After realizing what's going on, fear exhibits in her beautiful eyes but later is replaced with anger. 

Gigi clenches her fists. She knew one person who is capable of it. "Galvin! It must be him!" 

How ironic! While she put too much effort into getting information from Liam, she did not know that Galvin had already launched a plot about how she would fall into his hands! 

Her ex-husband just wanted the opportunity to get a hold of her! And if Tom didn't arrive, the possibility that she wakes up the next day lying on the bed next to her disgusting ex-husband! 

The nerve! Her hatred for Galvin is beyond comparison that even hell would vomit it! "I really hate him!" 

However, even she'll throw a fret, she is helpless at this moment. The cold water didn't help her body to feel better. 

She looked at Tom, and she just noticed that he was naked. Gigi swallowed. She averted her gaze and looked at the wall. 

But she forgot it was a mirror. She watched their reflection, and her eyes traveled to Tom's nakedness. The heat she felt because of the drug seemed twice, staring at Tom's perfect physique. 

From his handsome face down to his muscular shoulders, firmed chest, to his flat belly, and beyond that waist is… 

Ah! She must worry about how to get out of the situation she's in! How to remove the effects of the drugs inside her body? She knew a way, but can she do it? Still, she felt shy even just thinking about it! 

But her body is burning with lust. And looking at Tom, her head became wild. 

On the other hand, Tom is gaping at her with earnestness while he strips her, and it only takes one pull, and he tore her dress. 

Gigi gasps and bites her lower lip. She has no brassiere but tiny underwear. The dress she wore has its padding, and so she needs no bra underneath. 

Her cheeks were already red, caused by the drugs and wine. But being stared at by Tom that way, she felt like her face turned into crimson red. 

"First thing tomorrow, we need to move to another hotel. It looks like Calvin has someone who could freely access your suite even if you have bodyguards." Tom suggested. He is scanning Gigi's body. 

"Do… Don't look at me…" she whispered. She tries to cover her breasts, but Tom grabs her hands. 

"Why not?" Tom's gaze became solemn; his eyes feasted, looking at her almost naked body. "You are beautiful. I won't get tired looking at you." 

He lowered his head and claimed her lips. Gigi wanted to protest, but she could not resist Tom kissing her. The only thing her body wanted is to respond to his fervor kiss.
