His Contractual Mistress

Chapter 188 - Not His Child

METRO CITY, P COUNTRY

Liam Huo was seated in the living room at the villa he bought at Northern Real Estate. Although the name registered wasn't his, it was his method to hide his actions in Metro City in these passing months. He has been cautious. However, he has to step up to take Hailee back.

This morning, while sipping his coffee, he read all the news about DV Gem's successful launch last night. And this news mentioned that President Vincent Shen's girlfriend was appointed as Director of DV Inc. Asia Branch.

Liam's crisp laughter suddenly filled the living room. It was a piece of ridiculous news. "So, is this their way to hide her true identity? DV Inc. owner acting as branch office director? You always thrill me."

But his broad smile disappears after he receives an Instagram notification. It was a post that Hailee made.

Staring at his phone, Liam darkened his face and gritted his teeth from rage. Hailee had announced that she's getting married! Not only that, she's showing off her diamond engagement rings!

"Ahhhhh!" Liam kicked the coffee table and screamed. His men rush inside to see what happens, but all they see is a mess in the living room—things scattered on the floor.

They all silently went back to their post. They are not used to his behavior. He is always composed even when he's irritated or annoyed by someone because all he does is pointed his gun to that person's head and pull the trigger without blinking.?And so, they were cautious not to provoke him.

However, there is one person who constantly stirred his patience. It was the woman he could not win over. He is always throwing a fret because of her.

"F*ck! Sh*t!" Liam threw his phone on the floor. It tumbled toward the entry hall and landed at the woman's feet, who appeared at the door.

The woman bends her body and picks up the phone, then looks at the screen.

"It surprised me that she was Hailee Davies. Then? When are you going to take care of her?"

Liam throws a dagger look at the woman standing at the doorway. He shouted, "What are you doing here? I didn't call you to come here!"

Zenaida has taken aback to take another step forward. But she has important things to report to Liam Huo. Biting her lip, she uttered, "Eva, canceled her flight."

"What!?" Liam yelled at her. "What did you say?"

"Eva texted me. She said she's not coming back." Nervously, Zenaida told Liam. She has no plan to come, but Liam must know.

"Bullshit! It seems like she forgot something!"

"Liam, what will happen to us now? My family…" she stuttered her words. Though, the Shen's is helping to run their business. However, her father has a massive debt from the Huo family.

Liam Huo would not collect the payment; in exchange, they have to do everything that he will order them, including Eva, not giving Vincent's divorce.

In the beginning, she didn't understand. But then, she learned that Liam is madly in love with someone named Hailee Davies. She thinks he's jealous because Vincent is now working with her. What she didn't know, Hailey Hillson and Hailee Davies are the same women.

Liam ordered her parents to orchestrate Vince's death. But miraculously, he was alive and did not even have any injuries, according to her parents.

Now Eva is backing out. She won't listen to Liam anymore after getting what she wants, which is to win over her ex-boyfriend.

She wanted to get angry at Eva, to love that guy blindly. However, they were sisters. Until now, she's still in love with Vincent even though she knows her feelings would never return.

"Why is Eva not coming back!?" Liam yank at Zenaida. The woman flinched and began quivering under his hold.

"I… I don't know!" she lied, and she needs to get out of here. She heard Liam is a silent type of person. He won't say much, but he is taking action instantly. "Let me go, Liam."

Zenaida begged the guy, but this was her unlucky day. Liam was in a terrible mood because of Hailey's announcement.

"Tell me why is she provoking me now?" he asked Zenaida in a hostile tone.

Zenaida shook her head; she begs and cries. Liam shoves her on the floor and kicks the nearby antique vase. She covered her mouth, not to let out her weep.

He turned around to give her a sideways gaze while his finger pointed at the door. "Get out of here! But tell Eva to get her ass back in P Country!"

Zenaida got up quickly and ran to the door. After the woman disappears, Liam walks toward the bar area and gets a glass, pours some wine, and emptied it in one go.

The people that he puts up with to play his game are all useless! He has no other choice but to do it himself to end this bullshit and take Hailee to V Country.

He's been planning all along how to take her away. But in these passing years, she was cautious in all her trips. Aside from that, she gathered more knights to protect her. He kills a few of them, but the rest are difficult to deal with, like Pitt Cha and even Bryan Anderson.

They have loyal men who he could not buy with money to betray them and kill their bosses. It took him a year because of that. And his only choice after then is to play slowly and use women's help.

Since he could not kill Bryan, but he destroys his relationship with Hailee. However, because of that, Hailee had freedom, and she suddenly came to P Country!

It was late when he learned she was in Asia. And by then, she's already with someone else! He witnessed how she's attached to Bryan, and that guy is so clingy to her as well.

But why does she move on so quickly?! Now she's getting married to somebody else who has the life of a cat! He's not even in a coma after the accident! If that happens, it's easy for him to kill him again.

Liam continues drinking that morning with full resentment in his heart.

Meanwhile, Zenaida was shivering while driving her car. She immediately left Liam's Villa before the guy changed his mind to let her go.

Zenaida pulls over on the sideroad after she gets out of North Real Estate. She took out her phone from her bag and dialed Eva's contact. She tried to make a video call on Facebook or ring her Instagram account. She also tried FaceTime, but Eva didn't answer!

"Come on, Eva! Answer it!" She tried several times but failed to reach Eva. "Sh*t! That girl thinks this is just a game!"

After a few more attempts finally, Eva answered her phone.

"Why are you not answering!" Zenaida immediately blurts out even before Eva could speak from the other line.

"How if I don't want to answer any of your calls!" Eva replied annoyingly. "Don't call me ever again! Just wait when I am the one to make the call!"

"Sh*t, Eva! This is not just a childish game! Our life is at stake!"

"I don't care! Then leave Metro City or P Country!"

"F**k! You don't know who you are playing with, Eva! Liam won't let us all get away!"

"Bryan will protect me."

"You're impossible! I know how he's rejecting you. That is why you are bugging him, not because Liam ordered you!"

"He's happy to know that he'd become a father soon. That is why he's protecting our child and me," Eva said proudly.

"It's not his child!"

"Don't you ever say that!" Eva shrieked so suddenly from the other line.

Zenaida felt like her right eardrum would explode. She cusses from what Eva did. "Damn it! Stop yelling!"

"Then don't call me ever again! And don't you dare tell Bryan about anything!" she warned her older sister.

Zenaida was stunned for a moment. She ponders, then laughs afterward. "You're crazy. I know it was Howie's child."

"Shut up! If you want to save our family, then don't you dare tell him anything!" she hissed at Zenaida, but she immediately keeps silent when Bryan's footsteps are approaching.

"Eva? There you are! Hey, why is your face red? What happens? Are you upset?"

"I… Ah, I'm not upset. I'm just worried."

"Who are you talking to?" asked Bryan, staring at the phone in her hand.

"It's my sister. I asked her if everything is okay now in the company. You know… It was one reason I wanted to go home. The company keeps failing."

"Hmm… Do you need my help?" Bryan put effort into playing along. He reached for Eva's face and brushed her cheek. "Let me help you. It's not good for you to stress yourself now that you are carrying my child."

Eva's eyes flickered with joy. She puts her arms around Bryan's neck and brushes her lips on top of his.

"I know you will be the best dad in the world! Don't worry about it. My dad and sister already have the help they need. So I don't need to go home. Besides, I am with you. That is all that matters to me."

Eva placed her head on Bryan's chest, and her lips parted with an enormous smile. Bryan could still not resist her! He may ignore her and be cold in these passing months, but now, he shows how he's worried about her!

"I love you, Bryan."

If Eva smiled like a winner when Bryan could not see her face, the guy darkened his face. He felt disgusted how Eva clung to him. But he needs to stay calm and be patient until Hailee comes back.

Meanwhile, Zenaida heard everything. She has gone furious listening to Eva mumbling from the other line. Not only that, Eva ends the call, and now her phone does not ring. It means either she blocked her or turned off her phone.

"That selfish b*tch!"

Now, what is she going to do? Liam will kill them all! She needs to ask for someone's help! But whom?
