His Contractual Mistress

Hailee snuggles inside Vince's arms after having a midnight snack, now waiting to fall asleep.

Vince is brushing her hair while she runs her fingers over his bare chest. The guy was aroused, but he suppressed his desire, as he was more worried about making love with Hailee with a sensitive pregnancy. Not to mention she is carrying three babies in her womb. 

Hailee looked up to search Vince's face. His expression is calm, but she knows he is only concealing his hunger deep down, and that pained her. 

She also wanted to make love with him, but she felt it was dangerous when conceiving, not just one baby. And so Hailee thinks of some distraction. 

She started sharing her memories of growing up with Vince. Hearing Hailee's childhood stories from Andre in the passing days always excites him, and Vincent listened intently. 

"Dad and mom are too busy taking care of our businesses around the world. But they are inseparable. I heard from adults that my parents were more likely to travel abroad to have their honeymoon instead of taking care of our branch offices. So, dad appointed mom as his assistant in his private affairs. Mom always accompanies dad on his business trips since mom is good at interpreting. After dad deals with the matters in our branches abroad, he will accompany mom to go shopping and then dine in the most extravagant restaurant in the place." 

"Now I understand why dad insists on appointing you as the new CEO of Davies Corporation to help me out. While I am the Chairwoman of the Board, and you are the President, he wanted us to enjoy how couples work together. But the time will come... And we have to retire from working. By then, I want to travel the world with no work-related matters. And so, I won't be against training our children early and appoint them to take care of our companies according to their interests. But they must be willing to accept the responsibility. That's important." 

"Hubby, I was so lonely growing up. When mom died, I was even sadder because I had no one to play with and give my attention and love. I have a huge house, beautiful clothes, delicious food, countless bodyguards, maids and servants, and wonderful grandparents. However, I don't have siblings. That's why I want to bore more babies as long as my body is capable of giving our children more siblings so they won't get lonely when we are always away." 

"And if times come and our children can manage our businesses, then we can divide the workload, and they have someone by their side to help them out during periods of crisis in the company. I don't want to limit us from having children. I learned something as an only child. How can I manage these multi-trillion euros worth of corporations? I was scared about running the company alone because I had another line of business I am more interested in managing than Davies Corporation." 

"I want to focus on my jewelry and cosmetic companies. However, I have to inherit Davies Corporation. So I am thinking... I want to bore more children to let them have a choice and enjoy their lives without worrying about running a trillion euros company. If I did not make business deals with my wealthy friends... I know I would have trouble hiring trusted people to work for me since Andre joins the Air Force instead of helping dad manage the company." 

"Hubby, let's produce a dozen of children so that, if half of them have no interest in running our companies, then we have half of them to help each other manage all our businesses..."

"You know, I am so happy I found you, and you are the one I could share this life with. You are so smart when it comes to business, as well as a very talented architect. Not to mention you are so good to me." 

Vince's heart is dancing with joy at the praise he receives from Hailee. He leaned over and kissed her lips passionately. 

"You are my life… My existence is to love you until my last breath." 

He stretches his arm and takes her hand to his lips, planting kisses on the back of her palm before their fingers intertwine. 

Watching their perfect hands held together, a train of thoughts passing his head… 

Now he completely understood why Hailee wanted a dozen children. 

First, she is an only child, and that makes her too sad to have no playmates. 

Second, she is alone to deal with this big corporation which she is more interested in managing other businesses. And so, he will give everything he got to help her run a multi-trillion company. 

Third, Hailee doesn't want to burden their children but has a choice. She believes her children deserve to enjoy their life aside from burying themselves with so much work at the company. 

Fourth, she wanted a healthy life for them by having an adventure once in a while. For her, it is a must because she learns many things when she goes away to explore new things. She wants her children to experience the same and grow up from it. 

And he agreed with Hailee on that aspect. Having more siblings would be a lot of fun. 

On his part, he doesn't have brothers, but he has a lot of male cousins. When they all become businessmen, in times of hardships, they help each other. Being a member of a big clan becomes a great advantage for them. 

But in Hailee's case, she has to trust the surrounding people. 

Although his life growing up was not perfect, he had no regrets if his mom raised him with strict rules. It was honestly quite a sad life as his adventure was less, but books were his companion for most of his days. 

As he grows up, his teenage life is only studying and beating his ass to complete a few courses. And despite his success in later years, it was lonely deep inside. 

His life only had colors after he met Hailee. Although she wasn't his girlfriend yet in those years, she already had a special place inside his heart as the dearest one in his life. 

Having this thought all the time, somehow, made him feel alive. 

Of course, fear was there. How if she is already married to someone else? This realization came to his mind. However, his heart doesn't want to stop hoping that he will meet her once again and one day she will be his. 

For many years, Hailee becomes the moonlight in his dark times. 

And now, finally, she became his... 

Having had this train of thoughts, Vince placed a warm kiss on Hailee's forehead. He felt her tighten her embrace around his waist. After a brief pause, Hailee was ready to continue sharing more of her childhood stories, and so he let her carry on.
