His Contractual Mistress

Hailee is missing her mom and grandparents badly. She wishes they were there too on her wedding day. And at the thought of their presence, she is sure that her loved ones who already departed in this world would watch her over from heaven on her big day. 

Hailee wipes her eyes and heaves a deep breath. Scanning her dress in the mirror, she couldn't help not complimenting her dress. "It was beautiful." It was a plunging V-neckline and perfectly fitted the dress to her body. 

"Janise, you were really amazing!" Hailee praises one more time. Janise is really doing a great job on her dress. She knew Janise had a lot of a hard time making her wedding dress when Janise had to get her new measurements as her belly was growing every week.

"You haven't seen the skirt yet, Hail!" Janise winked at her.

"Oh. It has a skirt too?" Hailee imagines herself wearing this dress and the wedding skirt. But she didn't see it yet, so she had no particular design in mind. 

Although in these passing weeks, all she did in her free time was to read articles about her pregnancy or browse Pinterest to look at those stunning gowns! Soon, she would wear one. Her very own wedding dress!

"And it has a very long tail!" 

"Oh, my… Don't tell me it was also filled with diamonds?" Hailee doesn't want to imagine a dress that is sparkling too much. 

"It was, of course!" 

"Are you guys planning that someone will kidnap me on my wedding day because of the dress I am wearing?" she joked. 

"Like someone would dare to do that!" said Kelly. 

"Yeah. All of your knights would be there!" Gigi echoed. "Besides, we're inside Dream City. Security would be even tighter, you know. Known people in the entire world would be there at your wedding. Lords of every country will be there as well. Whose person has the guts to kidnap you?" 

That is true. Besides, there is only one man who has no care to ruin her happiness. But that man is already behind bars. 

"Okay. I actually do not think about the gemstones I would wear during that day. But praying that everything went well." 

"Are you nervous, Haile?" asked Sheena, who stepped closer to get a close-up shot of Hailee. 

"No. I'm not nervous. In fact, I was too excited. Vince is working hard to give me a grand wedding. I told him I could share the expenses, but he would not allow me, except dad, and he would not mind accepting dad's contribution." 

"Of course, Hail. Vincent is proud and happy to marry you." Jessa quoted. 

"And my brother wanted to make everything so meaningful that he could proudly say to himself…." 

"I walked the woman I love dearly down the aisle and brought her to the altar," Sheena added. 

Nadia, Liza, and Hazel sigh dreamily. They also imagine walking the aisle toward the altar with a beautiful wedding dress. 

"You kids should finish your college and have a career first," Kelly said kiddingly and snapped her fingers to wake up these teenagers. Then they all giggled. 

"We are just too happy for Hailee! Finally, they were tying the knot!" said the girls. 

Hailee extended her arms and tightly hugged the three silly but cool teens. Her days in Metro City were never dull because of them, and they never judged her even after she signed the mistress contract Vince offered to her. 

"Girls, I haven't asked you this. Why didn't you hate me or lash me out after you heard I dated and even lived with Mr. Shen?" 

"The short time we've been together and become friends, I saw you are a good person, Hailee," said Nadia. She will never forget how Hailee always helped her out. 

"You are like an older sister to us." Liza echoed. 

Hazel chimed in. "And you are so cool and pretty! I could still remember how you wore faded pants back then!" 

"That was Hailee's signature when she pretended to be someone else." Gigi would never forget that cute and silly girl back then. "I am fortunate that we became best friends. My family is aware of how wealthy she is. But it's not the reason I wanted to get close to her. I also see the beauty in her heart." 

Gigi hugged Hailee and kissed her cheeks. "I'm so proud I became your big sis." 

Hailee always asked for Gigi's advice in the passing months, which made her happy that Hailee was relying on her. She acted as a big sis, and Hailee listened to her. 

"I'm happy that I was also pregnant at almost the same time as you. Our kids would be best friends as well!" she added. 

Hailee was glad because Tom was one of the best brothers she had. "They were not just best friends, but also sisters or brothers if we both have girls or boys!" 

"Maybe Hailee would have both boys and a girl!" Kelly made a guess.

"Or girls and a boy!" Janise also has a guess. 

Hailee smiled, watching the girls through the mirror, sharing their guesses. She could see that everyone was excited as she was. "Whatever gender they have, I would be so happy to have them. They will complete the family Vince and I are creating." 

"We never saw our brother this happy. After he learned you are pregnant… No. Since you came into his life, we see the brightness of his smile." 

Hailee reaches for Deana's hands and squeezes them. "I'm happy he never stopped loving me, even the possibility that I probably married someone else." 

"But you are destined for each other." Sheena quoted. 

"Thanks, girls." Hailee hugged both Deana and Sheena. 

Jessa made sure that she recorded this perfect bonding moment. She was already excited to give everyone a sneak peek at the Hailee and Vince documentary.

Meanwhile, after his meeting, Vince immediately returned to the room to snuggle with Hailee and have a good sleep. But he found the room empty, and the bathroom and closet were open. 

Vincent heads out and looks around for a maid to ask. He could not ring her when Hailee's phone was still in the bedroom. 

"Good evening, young master." the butler's greetings. 

"Good evening, Roberto. Where are you bringing those snacks?" Vincent scanned the trays held by the maids. He saw a glass of milk and a platter of fresh fruits on one tray that gave him the idea for his wife. 

"The young madam had a fitting a while ago, and she was chatting with her friends and the young ladies asking for some snacks." 

"Okay. I want to see the…" before Vincent could finish, his mom appeared from behind. 

"No. You shouldn't see the dress yet. Just let the ladies have their night." 

"Okay, mom." Vincent wanted to raise a protest, but his mom was right. He should not be too clingy with Hailee, and she should have time with the girls, how he has time with the boys. 

They truly become husband and wife, and soon a parent, but there should be time for themselves. 

"Don't worry, Vincent. I will tell them not to stay, as Hailee has to take enough rest." 

Vincent curled his lips. His mom is very considerate now. After putting her grandchildren to bed, now it's her daughter-in-law she wants to take care of. 

"Thank you so much, mom." Vincent walks closer to his mom and gives her a warm embrace. Hilda, who is not used to her son's sweetness, blushed. 

"What are you saying? I have to scold your sisters, too. They have to get up early tomorrow for a board meeting. As a chairman, I should be there too, but you? You need not attend." 

Vince hid the silly smile playing on his lips. He knew his mom was only so shy that he suddenly hugged her in front of the servants. 

Indeed, it's not a typical scene that they were showing clinginess to each other except for their youngest. Sheena was spoiled and got all the attention when she was born. 

Probably it was the reason she was never afraid to defy their mom's strict rules. 

"Alright." Hilda tapped Vincent's shoulder to let her go. "I have to remind the girls. I want to retire to bed soon." 

"Okay, mom." Vincent let go of his mom and headed back to their bedroom. 

After half an hour, Hailee finally came back. He pretended he was already sleeping, but his ears were listening to the light footsteps around the room. 

He heard the bathroom door open, and after ten minutes, Hailee came out, but she headed to the wardrobe. 

Vincent opens one of his eyes to peep at Hailee. His mouth drops open to see her wearing a red halter slip with a long slit in the front. 

Vince was helpless after his body responded to his wife's seduction. Somehow, Hailee knows already that it is easy for her to tempt her husband, and all she needs is to act coquettishly. 

Vincent closed his eyes again when Hailee turned around and walked toward their bed. He felt it when she sat down and lay beside him. 

Hailee moves close to him, and her arm throws around his waist and snuggles his back, pressing breast. 

Vincent held not to sigh. He wanted to keep pretending he had already fallen asleep, but Hailee whispered in his ear that made him obediently turn around and face her. 

"I wore the dress so that you would not need to remove it." 

Vincent would not miss this opportunity. Like for the saying, 'The grain which came to the chicken.'

And when the food who approached, why would you refuse such grace? 

"I love you, my temptress…." 

Hailee giggled when Vince nibbled her ears. He leaned over her, but he was using both of his arms to support his weight. 

And even if he tried not to put his weight on her body, she could still feel his stiff shaft dying to rub on her thighs. 

"I love you too, my happiness."
