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.

His Mom's Plans To Get Rid Of Her

Continuing the conversation, Carl added "Auntie, we are men, and it's normal for us to search for someone to cuddle with. Right, uncle?"

Dramatically widens his eyes; it stupefies Fred why his bastard nephew dragged him with his ridiculous viewpoint. 

Furiously, he blurts it out. "And why are you asking me? That has nothing to do with me!" Fred glanced at his wife, whose eyeballs wanted to pop out from her face. His poor wife now receives a cold shoulder. "And why are you looking at me like that?" he snaps, whatever wild thoughts his wife had at the moment.

Even though she has something to say, she won't dare. Annoyed, Hilda turned her attention to her nephew, who continued blabbing at her side.

"Aunt, there are two reasons a man keeps his mistress..." Carl paused and studied his aunt before he went on. "He truly loves her, or he just needs someone to attain his needs."

Listening to her stupid nephew, it was the latter she instead chose. If that were the case, she could worry less.

But what if her son truly loves that woman? She has no control over her son's decision, and what she can only do is nag him to leave his mistress. 

It disappoints her. Instead of her son working on his marriage, he chose another woman to cope with his needs. Thinking it over, she remembered what that girl had told her.

"Madam Shen, I believe you talk to the wrong person. It would be best if you talked to your son instead of me. He is the one you should ask to get rid of me. Until then, I won't leave him."

"What do you mean by that?" Irritated, Hilda mused. It was impossible, and she could not force his son to do that when he avoids talking about it if he visits home.

Lately, her son has avoided coming home to the mansion. She then learned he was now living with his mistress. Probably his son was tired of listening to her discuss his marriage with Eva. She encourages her son to take Eva seriously, as he is now 31; he still has no plan of having children yet. What's the use of choosing Eva to be Mrs. Shen when her stupid son never lives with his wife?

She wants Vince to encourage Eva to come home and start a family in Metro City since Vince couldn't leave the company to join Eva in the US. But her son doesn't like the idea. Vince once said, "What I hated most is chasing or pursuing a woman. If she doesn't want to, then why would I stress myself and waste my time?"

Hilda felt devastated while listening to her son. She doesn't know whether to laugh or to cry. Her son is so much like his father! They weren't fond of romantic stuff!

She understood Eva had also prided herself on being a woman. If Vince truly needs her… he should coax her to live together. Women want to be pampered with attention aside from the luxurious life that a man could offer, and it should be a man's effort. That is why she was pestering her son to court his wife and act like a couple.

However, what her son did instead was send his lawyers with the divorce papers in hand. It angered her. The next thing she learned was that her son had a girlfriend.

Her son is miraculously living with a woman! This worsens her annoyance. But because of that, she pursued her son to fix his marriage with Eva. But Vince is hiding from her now!

How ironic. When she talks to the girl for the second time, this is what the girl tells her...

"You don't have to stress yourself begging me to leave your son, Madame Shen. Once your son dumps me, I will leave in silence."

Hilda sighed upon recalling her conversation with that girl. She admits she was gorgeous. 

In today's meeting, she carefully scans the girl's features.

She is not wearing makeup at all, but only pink lip gloss. Her round eyes and thick eyelashes are captivating enough for you to bewitch.

Her fair smooth skin and curvy body appeal to any man who couldn't resist desiring.

She is a woman who knows what is ugly, simple, and pretty.

Hilda heaves a sigh of being in a total loss. It seemed that her son wouldn't dump that girl, as she managed to bewitch him and seduces him with her alluring beauty. And with the alluring body she has, she holds her son captive with her seduction.

"I was once young and beautiful as she is…." Hilda couldn't help mutter to herself.

That girl is undeniably beautiful and perfect like Eva. The difference is his son never lived with his wife after their marriage but went separate ways. But now, he instead wants to be with his mistress. What's more? He didn't even budge after his father kicked him out of the family.

Her son is willing to give up everything, and it means his son is head over heels for that girl. If that's the case, she could do nothing but bear the rumors thrown at their family.

Hilda felt devastated. She won't accept that it will just end here. She should do something.

Maybe he truly loves his mistress, whereas she could satisfy him in bed. Something that Eva and Vince never shared. Hilda thought.

She could tell her son had the good taste to pick up a beautiful mistress. But thinking he had a wife, she couldn't accept the affair.

"Maybe I need to persuade Eva to come back home to Metro City and start living as a real married couple."

"Auntie, Eva is a successful career woman, and she couldn't just abandon her life in the US."

"And how about her husband? What use was she married to Shen? She need not work! She already enjoyed the Shen money for her trip around the world!"

Their family indeed spoiled Eva in compensation because her son did not treat her as a wife. Hilda's head was suddenly throbbing, thinking over.

It exhausts her to think of another plan to drive the mistress away from his son's life.

That day, Hilda was determined to beg Eva to come home and stay for good. If Eva were here, it would force Vince to go home and live together.

"Carl, why don't you help me?"

Confused, Carl creased his forehead. "Auntie, Vince doesn't listen to you. How come he'll take my advice?"

"It's not Vince you should approach."

Finally, Carl understood his aunt. Scratching his temple, Carl reasons out "Auntie, I don't want to be found floating in the South Bay the next day, and I didn't spend my time taking care of my handsome face just to be found murdered one day."

Could he dare to touch Vince's woman? No, thanks! He loves his life! And if he died, many girls would mourn!

"Please, Auntie. Spare me from your master plan. I never dream of being placed inside a beautiful fiberglass coffin with a face badly beaten by your son and died due to brain damage and bleeding."

Stupefied, Hilda rendered speechlessly. On the other hand, Fred was throwing with an unbelieving gaze at his wife. "Be careful of the things running inside your head!" he yells out. 

Hilda snaps, "And what do you want me to do? Just remain silent?" 

"Leave it out for now! Your son will get tired one day and will dump his mistress."

"Why can you say that? Huh? It's because..." 

Fred lifted his head from the iPad; anger exhibited on his face. He roared, "Hilda!" 

Seeing her husband completely angry, Hilda shut her mouth. She picked up her bag, stood on her feet, and headed to the stairs in silence. 

Carl, who got used to this family, should stay away from their drama. But he was always thinking how lucky a bastard his cousin was, and he was envious. 

"Aha! Sounded like the mom won't stop meddling his son's life!"
