His Contractual Mistress

"Oh, my god! Is that true!?" Both exclaimed.

They couldn't believe that the girl their brother had found is one of the most influential women on Earth and successful in the business world!

When their brother married Eva, they were firmly against it. They believe their brother deserves someone better or matches the girl he likes, and that is Hailey from four years ago. 

However, their mom is such a stubborn noblewoman. 

But after their brother met Hailey again and won her heart, they were so happy for him. 

Now to hear Hailey's true identity? It blew their heads away! 

Why wouldn't it? 

They have been following Hailee Davies on Instagram. They've seen all of her posts in these passing years, and that was incredible! 

From her adventures to her world travels? To show off her fast cars and fashion sense? She has wealth! 

But what they've envied more about her is when she travels either by her yacht or private plane, plus those road trips? 

She's living a luxurious life, and they cannot question that! She is a princess! 

And having her with them tonight is like a fairy tale! She was an icon to socialites like them! 

The sisters couldn't contain themselves, staring at Hailey. 

"Please, I'm still the same girl from the day your brother saw me." She told the girls not to feel uncomfortable around her, which she's the one who starts to feel awkward. 

She knew that once the people discover she is Hailee Davies, either they would take the chance to get close to her or feel timid toward her. 

She isn't a flashy person in reality. So, she wants to stay as Hailey Hillson because she has the freedom in the world to mingle with ordinary people. 

She isn't hard to please. She didn't need to be treated like a queen who everyone would vow to her—she instead just wanted everyone to respect her genuinely as a human being and not because of her status.

After dinner, she was snatched from Vincent at last. The girls brought her to the third floor of the mansion. 

It surprised her to see an expansive room with six double decks inside. 

Deana is certain that Hailey is curious why they have a room in this arrangement. 

"Mom is too strict, as you see that side of her already. She never allows us to go out at night. We girl cousins could not hang out in pubs or bars unless we're with our male cousins and brother as our chaperones when we are legal. So we mostly hang out in the clubhouse." 

"Oh. M Resort, right?" Hailey queried. 

Sheena nodded. "Yup! The name changed after my brother did a massive renovation of that clubhouse. He also added other buildings. In the past, it was the place where the elite children gather around." 

"Dad is the same as well. He wouldn't let me go out if I didn't have my uncle as chaperone and the boys." Hailey somehow could relate to that. 

"Oh. Those men you're along with during your travels?" asked Janise, excited to hear about it. 

"Yes, they are." 

"Oh, my gosh! They were so hot!" Sheena squeals; both Deana and Janise tickle her. And because she is ticklish, she ran to the bed where they caught her. 

The three of them giggling while rolling on the bed. It's been a long time since they did this when they were teenagers. 

Hailey smiled. She enjoyed watching the girls teasing like this because she and Kelly with the other girls have also been this way. 

"I missed that place, actually," Deana uttered afterward. She sat up and looked at Hailey. 

"Why don't we go tomorrow?" Janise suggested. 

Hailey then remembered. "Oh. Vince and I schedule our flight to Australia for tomorrow. We forgot to mention it during dinner." 

"Eh." Sheena was the saddest one to hear it. "When will you and brother come back?" 

"Will be here one week before your mom's birthday," Hailey replied. She reaches Sheena's hand and squeezes it. 

"Then, that would be like in two weeks?" 

Hailey nodded. She and Vince have to fly to Budapest to meet the Elders. But she could not tell these girls after their trip to Australia and talk to Eva. 

"I have to settle many things in the company." She reasoned out. "And dad hasn't known yet that one of our contractors is my boyfriend, now a fiancé." 

"Oh. Is he going to accept our brother?" There are worries exhibited on Deana and Sheena's faces. Janise is also worried for Vince. 

"Dad is difficult to please, yes. Moreover, in Vince's situation. Whose father would be happy to learn that his daughter has an affair with a married man? But don't worry. I will explain to dad, and whatever happens, I will fight for Vince." 

"Our brother should have his divorce as soon as possible!" Sheena remarked sternly. Her annoyance is toward her mom, who arranged Eva to her brother.

"Yeah. But we didn't want you to marry our brother because you are Hailee Davies." Deana expressed. "We want you for our brother because you are the only woman who could make him so happy. And you are the only girl he falls in love with." 

"And even if we are his first love, you are our brother's beloved," Sheena echoed. 

Hailey smiled and hugged the girls. She'd realized. There are family members who are jealous of their son or brother's girlfriend. So it's a dispute between family members against the girlfriend. 

"Of course, that would never change." She assures them. "Your mom is the first woman Vince loved in his life, and his sisters are his first love and then me…." 

"You are his true love!" Janise finished her words. 

The four girls giggled and then jumped. Suddenly, the door opened. 

"Mom?" Sheena smiles sheepishly. She had a guess. Her mom had been eavesdropping on them. 

Well, as usual, like in the past, her mom would check on them constantly. And when she caught them complaining of how she was strict, she then began recalling how the elders disciplined her and their aunts and uncles. 

And who would comment back is Sheena. She would reason out that things aren't the same anymore, as they lived in different times.

It's the new century.
