His Contractual Mistress

La Prairie Courtyard, Dream City

Hailee watched the full moon through the window of her hotel suite. Her conversation with Isabella did not go well. She refused and insisted on consulting Shun instead.

Hailee picked up the bell and rang it. Not long to wait, Mrs. Brown entered the room and approached her.

"Mrs. Shen?"

"Mrs. Brown, please notify Madison and Cassandra that I am done talking with Lady Isabella."

Mrs. Brown left to summoned the two women back to the suite. Hailee requested to speak to Isabella alone as she knew that Cassandra and Madison would tell Shun if they learned why she contacted Lady Isabella.

"Hail, why do you want to talk to Isabella?" After she settled down on the sofa, Cassandra queried Hailee.

Hailee looked at Cassandra with a timid smile on her lips. She replied to her, "I have a request, but she refuses me."

"Can we hear it?" Madison persuaded Hailee.

However, she could reveal none of her plans now, so she lied to them. "I just wanted Lady Isabella to read my future."

Cassandra and Madison shared a knowing look. They both know what the future awaits them, and it was a mistake to ask what is on Hailee's mind. Their curiosity got them good. Now they don't know how to respond to Hailee.

Cassandra took Hailee's hand and said, "You don't need to stress yourself too much. The best you can do now is to calm down."

"Don't worry, Hail. Papa will protect Vincent. Besides, your husband is aware that his life is in danger. However, he would not hide from his enemies."

Hailee knew all of that. Vincent is determined to fight back. But she wanted to end everything as soon as possible.

"Thank you, girls. I will try to relax my head to have a clear mind."

"That's right, Hail. You don't need to think of other things, but only the four lives in your womb."

Hailee nodded and smiled at Cassandra. These two women are right. However, she could not reveal what was running through her mind.

Cassandra and Madison left to attend to their children. Being left alone, Hailee had more time to contemplate and think of another way to gain control in the Alliance.

A little over four years ago when Vincent saw her in Budapest. She did not know her dad was about to introduce her to the Elders and leaders of the Mafia that formed the association. She was actually summoned to attend a very important gathering of the Alliance.

However, back then, she did not want to do anything with the High Royal and Mafia Association but distanced herself from that world.

But now, she wants that power.

If ever she needs to get involved in the Alliance's activity, then maybe it is time for her to accept her role.

The Alliance Headquarters, ITALY

Meanwhile, Lady Isabella has different beliefs in her mind. After they learn what the future awaits them, they have to suppress Hailee from gaining authority in the Alliance.

She already gathered influential men as her knights. If she realizes her power, it is difficult for them to stop her.

After some thought, Lady Isabella stood from her chair and walked to the door. She trailed the hallway toward the elevator and got inside. After she arrived at the underground floor, she walked another corridor.

Upon seeing Isabella, the two guards bowed at her and stepped aside to let her pass. When she reached the door, one guard walked in front of a screen and pressed a few numbers to open the room.

Lady Isabella steps inside, and the door closes automatically.

"Athena…" Isabella calls out. Immediately, a hologram appeared.

"Good morning, Lady Isabella." The primary computer system greeted and queried her afterward. "What can I do for you?"

"I want to visit Level 3..."

"Then, please input your access code."

On the computer screen that appeared from the floor, Lady Isabella input her personal code that differs from Shun.

"Confirmed. Please step on the white circle for a scan." Athena requested.

Isabella followed and walked toward the lighting circle in the middle of the room. She heard a hovering sound from the ceiling. Then, a circle metal scanner came down and passed her whole body.

"Clear. You may go now, Lady Isabella."

"Thank you, Athena." Lady Isabella stepped out from the white circle and walked toward the elevator that opened after a clear scan.

The elevator buttons lit Level 3, then went down. It took only a few seconds, and she arrived on the floor.

The moment Isabella stepped out of the elevator, the royal guards bowed to her. From there, she was escorted to a particular room.

"How's he?" Looking at the monitoring screen, Lady Isabella asked the assigned guards. Her eyes were fixed on a particular screen.

"The usual, Lady Isabella. He seemed to have had the same dreams last night from the other nights." the head of the guards reported.

"I see…" Lady Isabella nodded her head.

In the passing months, she was trying to read Liam's memories awakened by that man, and he lost his head and became utterly obsessed with Hailee. She and Shun believe it has to do something in his past life.

However, that man did something for her to see nothing.

"Let me in." She requested the guards to open the door of Liam's prison.

The five guards monitored every movement Liam made inside his prison looked in her direction. After a moment, the captain stood on his feet, then walked toward the door and entered the access code.

Lady Isabella followed him inside. Liam's prison is a vast white room with modern interior designs that are twenty-four hours lit to monitor him even while sleeping.

Lady Isabella sat down after the captain placed a chair in front of the floor-ceiling glass wall. She crosses her legs and leans back.

"Still not changing your mind?" Isabella asked Liam.

The guy did not reply. Instead, he acted as if he didn't notice he had a visitor. Liam continued reading a book and ignored Lady Isabella.

"Hailee called me just now."

Liam, who was about to flip another page, his hand paused and remained hanging in the air.

Lady Isabella pursed her lips into a cunning smile. She is correct in using this kind of method, and so she took this opportunity to persuade Liam.

"She wanted to speak with you. However, as you declared, not to speak about anything. I declined her request."

Could be heard a loud thud from the other side of the glass wall after Liam threw the book in his hand. Liam clenched his palm into a fist as he glared at Lady Isabella with the intent of harming her if he could only get a hold of her.

"How dare you, using her on me!" Liam shouted. The last time she saw Hailee, she meant to kill him.

"She wants to know personally who the members of the Dark Shadow Organization are ."

"What did you say?" Creasing his forehead, Liam asked Isabella. The way his eyes narrowed his gaze, Isabella ultimately got his attention.

"Hailee wanted to take care of your master with her own hands."

Liam wheeled toward the glass wall and smashed it with his hands. "You cannot allow her to do that!"

"She wanted to apprehend your master, and she will turn the world upside down to do that. But I would not let her do anything, yet... In her condition at the moment, it was such a risk to have forced labor."

"Force labor? What do you mean? Hailee is pregnant?" Surprises are written on Liam's face. It's been so many months that he has had no news from the outside world. Now, Hailee is expecting a baby?

"You heard right." Lady Isabella smiled as she went on. "She is expecting quadruplets. It was actually amazing. I never saw Hailee so happy in her life."

But then, she wiped the smile from her face and was replaced with a solemn facial expression.

She went on, "However, your men tried every means to harm her and Jacob. Now, Vincent and Shun are doing everything to keep Hailee alive."

There is an unusual glint in Isabella's eyes. In that life, it was Hailee who spoke with Liam. Hailee begged Liam to confess who is his master was so that the assassination of Vincent would stop.

Having said that, it only enrages Liam, and everything goes wrong.

Now that she was the one who revealed these things to Liam, Isabella looks forward to great changes from here on. And in order to achieve that, she is telling a small lie.

Anyway, what's the difference? Hailee is truly in danger if she once again has signs of miscarriage.

"What did you say?" Liam wanted Isabella to repeat her words.

"Your master is doing every means to kill the babies inside Hailee's womb. Do you know what would happen if Hailee had forced labor now she is seven months pregnant? Her doctors say it will only put her in danger because her case is sensitive. Actually, her pregnancy was in critical condition because of your craziness. Also, you give Hailee anxiety. That's why she is always stressed throughout her pregnancy. Now that your right hand continues bothering her… Samuel Miller is only encouraging Hailee to end the organization by herself without Shun and Vincent's awareness. Unless I'll tell them what Hailee is planning to do."

"Hailee should stay away from the Organization!" Liam shouted, banging the glass wall.

Lady Isabella rose one brow. She smirked at Liam and got up, preparing to leave. Before she could take another step, Liam roared at her.

"Get Shun's ass here!"
