His Contractual Mistress

“Darling, you are the moon that gave light in my darkest times.” She gave up finding a man who could make her heart skip a beat and fall in love; Hailey Hillson accepted her best friend’s marriage proposal but then changed her mind after hearing another woman say she couldn’t please a man in bed. When it was just a week away from their wedding day, Bryan got back together with his ex-girlfriend Eva Lan. Hailey broke up with Bryan and called off their wedding. But then, she discovered an interesting fact about Eva Lan—she is married. ‘Did her husband know she was cheating on him?’ * After the heartbreak, Hailey focused on completing her LIFE PROJECT. To achieve it, she went overseas, where she came across Vincent Lopez Shen, the CEO of Shen Group Construction Firm, who later offered her a contract to pretend as his mistress to get his wife's attention. As she also had an ulterior motive, she signed the contract without thinking twice. However... What will happen after she lives with Vincent Shen under one roof when he is Eva’s husband—the woman who destroyed her relationship with Bryan? Will Vincent find out her secret regarding her true identity? Would she find out the secret Vincent keeps that is related to her? EXCERPT: “Miss Eva Lan, why won’t you sign the divorce papers if you are happy with someone’s fiancé’s bed?” Glancing at her with disbelief, Bryan turned his head to the woman inside his arm; he asked, “What the hell is this, Eva?” Hailey cut in. “Oh, you didn’t know Miss Lan is a married woman, my dear ex-fiance?” Her words are a bomb to Bryan. “You shut up! Don’t believe her, Bryan! She is just jealous of me because you love me over her!” Hailey scoffed, a playful smile playing on her lips; before she could spout another word, the woman in front of her paled like a ghost. “Vincent, what are you doing here?” Horror, panic, and shock linger on her face to see her husband appear out of nowhere and his arms wrapped around the girl’s waist. Vince shoots a cold glare at his wife, and he feels no familiarity between them. He withdrew his gaze from the two people before them. He turned his head to the woman standing next to him, he looked at her with tenderness in his eyes, and with a loving tone, he asked her, “Darling, who upsets you? Tell me, and I will remove them from your sight in an instant.” Hailey lifted her chin. As her eyes flickered, her cheeks were flushing scarlet red. Coquettishly, she whispered in Vincent's ear, “Darling, Miss Lan bullied me. She said I couldn’t satisfy a man in bed. She told me I didn’t know how to… do that….” Vincent contorted the corners of his mouth and beamed. “That’s interesting.” “What do you mean by that?” she pouted. “What I am trying to say is… You are a fast learner, and all you need is the right partner.” * * * ~Be ready for many twists ~Novel was ENDING at Chapter 400.

Howie Gu's Idiocy

Howie Gu moved his eyes toward Ken Gutierrez, glaring sharply. It annoys him that his friends do nothing to help him.

Vincent Shen is alone. Howie could imagine the guy turning into a pulp if the nine beat him.

Howie sat up. One hand reached for his sides while the other was on his throat. He coughs a few times to breathe properly, rubbing his rib cage. He needed an x-ray to make sure nothing had broken. Having the thought, he yelled at the manager, who did nothing but remain standing by the door.

"Why don't you call for a doctor!"

Edgar Reid did not reply. He only stared at Howie with displeasure.

As of this moment, President Shen will put him on his list of people who disappoints him.

Edgar Reid thought to himself.

When reports came to his office about a scene in the Reception lobby, he anticipated something would happen before the day ended. And his prediction was correct.

Vincent Shen made a move. But what he didn't expect, Vincent would come himself to deal with Howie Gu.

"What kind of manager are you!?"

One more time, Howie yelled at Edgar Reid. The manager remains unmoved. He blinked to look at Howie Gu indifferently.

He stated, "Mr. Gu, I thought you read the policies of the resorts. To be a Club Resort member, you must follow the guidelines. Offending someone from VIPs nor any guests violates your membership."

"What the heck of policies is that!? Are you telling me I am stupid? I never heard of such a thing!"

Edgar Reid twitched the corner of his mouth. Customers are always right! It was what he believed in.

It said Howie Gu was a genius who graduated with flying colors in America, but the guy acted with an empty brain.

Well, sometimes people wear their honors on their heads, not in their hearts. Their pride becomes arrogant, and they forget to use their brain.

Edgar Reid has come across countless people in the past. And thank goodness there's someone like President Shen who can make them kneel on their knee and reflect.

But Howie Gu remains arrogant. He is lucky President Shen didn't beat him until he turned into a pulp. But probably he did it when that woman didn't arrive.

Vincent Shen is a reserved person. But once provoked, it was the end of the world.

Edgar Reid fixed his gaze on Howie Gu, who remained seated on the floor. His friends didn't even bother to help him get up and sat on the couch.

Anyway, he wouldn't have to be surprised. Each has no desire to associate and be part of Vincent Shen's anger.

And it was true. All who attended Howie's exclusive party knew these policies Manager Reid brought out. Also, they know whose guests they have to avoid offending. But damn. They could not believe he had the guts to humiliate Vincent's girlfriends. Howie dug a pit for his ass to beat up.

"What? Why is no one answering me!" Howie Gu screamed one more time. It pissed him at how everyone only ignored him. "I will call my father and make sure to close this resort!"

Most people in that hall only rolled their eyes and didn't feel threatened when Howie reached for his phone and started dialing.

"Dammit! I just purchased this phone!" he cussed, staring helplessly at the limited edition new phone model of a leading mobile phone company worldwide.

Howie kept his phone inside his back pocket, which must have cracked when he fell to the floor.

Howie waited impatiently that his father would answer his call. He tried to make a call three times, but his father only ignored him. Howie cussed once again when his call only forwarded to a voicemail.

"Dammit! What is he doing!?"

Ken Gutierrez was staring at Howie with amazement. This guy is absolutely not using his head. "Hey, Howie. Your dad must be in the middle of the Senate session. Have you forgotten that he is the majority leader? He must be leading the senate session right now!"

Howie fell in his thought for a moment. He did forget about it, but he has pride, and there's no way he would admit his stupidity.

"So what? I am his son! How can he run a country if he won't prioritize his son!? He must take care of his family first!"

Everyone in that room gazed at Howie with a funny expressions, including the service crew; their mouths fell open. 

Ken, on the other hand, thought it was just a joke. He asked, "Are you seriously saying that?" 'This idiot! Where is his brain?'

What kind of reason does he have? Everyone wanted to laugh at him, but they remained silent. Howie wasn't like on the verge of severe wounds that he was dying. The trouble he was in was because of his stupidity. Now he wants to involve his father's name in his idiocy.

It was funny how Senator Gu didn't discipline his son to behave in public. He is one of those sons who want to use their family's power to be superior. The service crew was disappointed to witness this scene. At the same time was amused by Howie. 

Later, he felt that everyone just made him look like an idiot. Howie yelled at them. "Everyone, out! I don't want to see you again!"

Howie's friends shared glances at each other. It was the females who left the room, leaving behind their boyfriends. Manager Edgar Reid also left the room and ignored Howie's tantrum.

If he were Vincent Shen, he would beat him until Senator Gu would not recognize his face.

But how ironic. Vincent did not even use his hand. He only used his right foot to deal with him. Maybe Howie Gu needed a knock on his head to come to his senses. Walking down the hallway, it was Manager Edgar Reid thought.

Meanwhile, left in the room, Ken Gutierrez and five other men remained. They would like to go, but they were more interested in what will happen to Howie Gu now. Their reason, they want to gossip further. 

On the sofa, Howie typed on his phone and sent a message to his father.

"Dad! I want to go to the hospital and have a check-up! Please send me an ambulance right now! Vincent Shen beat me up, but no one even helped me! Everyone here in M Club Resort is useless!"

After a minute, Howie receives a call from his father. A huge grin played on his mouth to drop it closed after hearing his father scolding.

"Idiot! What did you do!?"

Howie, at first confused about why his father questioned him instead of feeling worried about him.

"Did you offend him!?"

Howie got irritated. All he heard today was questioning him if he offended Vincent Shen. What with that guy!? Their family is almost equal in terms of wealth and political instance!

"How if I did? Why do I feel your sympathy is in him instead of me?"

"Idiot! He is the last person you should provoke! What did you do?"

"That is not important. If you don't help me, talking to you is just a waste of time."

As he heard this, blue veins popped at Senator Philip Gu's forehead. 'What a bastard son!' he cursed inwardly.

"How dare you talk to me like that now after sending me a message whining like a girl!"

"And why are you more concerned about Vincent Shen than your own son!?"

"Shut up! Go home now, and let's talk!"

The other line gone, Howie cussed. His father would not side with him but reproach him instead!

'What with Vincent Shen that even my father seems afraid of him?' Howie mused. He had to raise a protest about why his father only ignored him. 

Hello! It is supposed to be 2 chapters today as part of the weekend mass release, but my son's online tests move today so he needs to use the laptop and I have to do things.

So, I will publish all remaining chapters tomorrow! No specific schedule but I'm hoping you'll enjoy and like it!
