His Contractual Mistress

Shun curved his lips. Hailee did not beat around the bush anymore as this girl truly has changed. 

On the other hand, Hailee later realized that she sounded superior to Shun. Also, she has become so demanding lately, and she took advantage of all her influences.

"I'm sorry, Shun. It's just my mood swings. I'm actually in a bad mood now. I kind of guess that it was Liam's doing, and so I want to see him." She didn't say that it was Vince who wanted to go. Hailee then went on, "But I know I am just giving in to his traps. Can the Alliance take over the rights to keep him in Italy so that he has no contact with the outside people?" 

"Liam was under International Law rights. And so, he has the right to have a fair trial.." 

Unfortunately, Shun had to be careful because the media was watching Liam's case. Shang Casino and Hotel in Las Vegas are famous throughout America, and the celebrities who died and were injured in the bombing are not just simple ones. 

Hailee somewhat knew it, but it still annoys her. "It's f**king sh*t…." 

Shun heaves a sigh inwardly after he hears Hailee curse. This princess has never cussed before, and she is always a sweet girl. 

Hailee is against a system such as the Mafia Association or the Alliance. But she witnessed the outcome of her naiveness and innocence. It will hurt the people around her if she continues denying the real world she is living in.

Anyway, Shun would be shocked if Alex didn't inform him that Vincent planned to visit Liam in prison. Hailee was behaving like this because Liam hit her bottom line once again. 

"Don't worry, Hail. You and Vincent just take care of your wedding, okay?" 

"Yeah. I shouldn't be affected by Liam's trick again. But we need to catch who are the people working with him even if the world is putting him in prison." 

"Yes. I am working hard on it. They were still hiding from my radar. But it won't be long." Shun was determined. "After Liam's last trial and received his full sentence, I will take him to Italy and seal him from the world forever." 

Listening to Shun, Hailee felt at ease, and it was the assurance she wanted to hear. 

"Just make sure he will not be saved when you do the transfer. I know your men aren't slack. But we are talking about Liam and the organization he was in." 

"Thank you for reminding me." Shun is even more impressed, and Hailee is acting a lot like a Mafia lord. "I think you are ready to replace your dad." 

Vince looks at Hailee with intent. She put the loudspeaker on, and so he heard the entire conversation, and Shun's remark made him frown. 

He just thinks about it, a frustration surge in his chest. If Hailee ever accepts the role, she will be even busier, and then Hailee will give less time and attention to him. 

All of a sudden, Vincent's head filled with many scenes of Hailee chasing those illegal syndicates. 

Hailee, wearing a black suit, black stiletto, and black hat, riding the latest Rolls Royce with a long convoy meeting the other Mafia lord.

She would absolutely look like a drop-dead gorgeous Mafia Lady. 

No, she is a Smokin' hot Mafia Queen. 

Wait... 

Why does he imagine something like that? Is he having a fetish at seeing Hailee in such clothing? Something like she looks dominant to him? 

Ah… This thought is leading him somewhere dangerous! 

Vince shook his head, gathering his thoughts in one place.

However, if Hailee becomes a Mafia Queen aside from being his Empress, he will become like a househusband waiting for his wife to get home. 

It was like an FL sulking at home because the ML was busy doing mafia stuff, and he forgot about her. However, in their situation, it was the reverse. 

He is the one sulking while waiting at home because Hailee forgot their wedding anniversary; she had no time for him as she was busy doing Mafia stuff. 

Vince was pulled out from his crazy thoughts when he heard Hailee giggling. He wondered if Shun said something funny, the reason Hailee had that huge grin across her face. 

He looked at her with curious eyes. 

However, Shun was also surprised when Hailee suddenly laughed from the other line. "What happened, princess?" 

"Nothing Shun. Someone is already sulking just to mention the possibility that I am fit to be a mafia lord." 

Shun did not have to ask further. He already understood that Hailee was referring to Vincent. He almost forgot the photo Hailee posted on her Instagram, and Vincent listened to their conversation the whole time. 

"Alright. Since uncle Jacob and uncle Fred took over the empty seats, you guys have nothing to worry about having a role. I understand your dad and Vincent are willing to sacrifice for the sake of your freedom. And it was clear to us what would be yours and Vincent's role in the society." said Shun. 

Hailee could not help feeling guilty and being glad at the same time. Shun was right. She and Vincent are regarded as an incredible couple. However, the road they are taking is not plain pavement but a rough one. 

"Alright. Thank you, Shun. You are always a reliable cousin to me. I know you have more things to do, and so I am hanging up now. See you guys soon." 

"Yes. Leave to me regarding Liam Huo. But Vincent has to deal with the issue after Eva Lan died." 

"Yes, we will." 

"See you both soon." 

Hailee pressed the end button and put down the phone on the table. She looked at Vince, who carried on in massaging her body, and this time, he was gently pressing her shoulders, and it eases the little stress she gets through. 

"Sheena texted me. They were about to land at the airport, and I told them you already knew, so there's nothing to hide. They can come back straight to the mansion." 

"I'm glad they had a safe flight. We must finish up the things soon and go back to Australia." 

Vincent nodded. "I will talk to Jessa. Let us just have the interview in Dream City. I am more at ease if you are inside your dad's territory." 

Hailee did not protest, and she agreed to whatever Vince thought was best for them. 

When everyone finally came back. They had a closed-door meeting, and Jessa's team was okay with Vincent's idea. They will have photoshoots before they fly to Australia to cover the wedding preparation in the following days. 

***

It was just three weeks away, and Hailee could not wait to see her wedding gown. 

"Hailee!" 

She had just finished doing her facial routine when the three teenagers rushed into her bedroom. Vince was in a video meeting in his study, so she busied herself in preparing to bed. 

"What's wrong?" she asked, puzzled. She wondered if something had happened.

"Let's go! We have to see if your dress fits you!" 

"What dress?" 

"Is there any other dress you are dying to see?" 

Of course, there is only one dress she wants to see at this very moment!
