Chapter 182 - Getting Married
Vince carried Hailey to the bathroom after another intense lovemaking. He turned on the jacuzzi in the bathtub and soaked in the warm water.
Hailey rested her head on Vince's shoulder while her fingers were caressing his chest. Vince is also massaging her back, which made her sleepy.
"Vince, I want to talk about Hailee Davies." She opened up. Maybe this is the best time.
"Hmm…"
Vince is only responding by humming. Suddenly, she got worried that he's angry at her, but he only waited for a great time to vent it.
She lifted her head to look at Vince's face. It was calm. She searches for nothing, a sign he is angry; instead, he is somewhat worried.
"You can ask me anything you want to know." She urges him. She would love to hear his thoughts. She wants Vince to share his true feelings after he learned something about her real identity.
Vince lowered his gaze and met her eyes tenderly. He leaned to kiss her. He whispered, "What is more interesting about Hailee Davies? Can I spank her for being cheeky?"
Her eyes twinkle. Vince is talking about some hot stuff here. His teasing voice brought warmth toward her chest that he's still flirty toward her.
"Hubby, you just spank her a while ago." She pouted, but her cheeks are blushing pink.
"I see… But I feel like I'm not satisfied yet," he teased.
If she blushed pink just a second ago, now her face turns scarlet red. And since Vince was in the mood, she had to try her best to return his tease.
"Hubby, I know I am such a bad girl. You can spank me if you want until you are satisfied, and I would also love…" she shifts her position. She crouches on Vince's lap and grinds her hips. "I can ride tonight."
She caught that flash of excitement in his eyes before he concealed them. She smiles playfully, watching Vince's throat move, evidence that it affects him since he is hard again down there.
But he wears a serious face when he speaks, pretending that he's still upset at her. "It seems like you really wish for a punishment, huh?"
He lifted his right hand and wrapped her neck. Hailey is a bit nervous if what he's going to do. But Vince only pulls her closer to kiss her on the lips. It was a long fervor kiss, and it causes her to pant for air after.
Vince rubs her cheeks. He muttered, "I would love to hear your explanation, but I need to fly to Las Vegas."
"What's wrong? Did something happen?" She knew Shen had investments and projects in the US, but why so suddenly?
"A year ago, I worked at this casino that my friend's family-owned. I redesigned the whole building and even invested in it. The business there is good if it is being managed carefully. Earlier this evening, while I was waiting for the event to finish to confront you, Theo called me."
"Theo?" The name is familiar, thought Hailey.
"Yes. I think you are familiar with Li-Shang. They are the biggest bottlers company in Asia and the number one distributor of fine wine from Switzerland."
"Oh, you are talking about Theo Shang. The CEO of Shang Holdings in Mainland City." Oopsie… now that her identity is known to Vince, she could not shut her mouth and expose herself being familiar with the business world.
"Hmm…" Vince scrutinized her, and she bit her lip. But she breathed with a sigh of relief when Vince smiled. "Yes, it was him."
"Then, what happened in Las Vegas?" Why does the beating in her heart tell her it was planned?
"Someone planted a bomb in the casino. It looks like an inside job."
"Oh, my god! Then it means it has casualties?" She watches Vince nodded.
"Yes, and several of them are celebrities. So, Theo called for a board meeting. My plane is just waiting for me."
"Oh. Then you have to leave soon." She wants to ask Vince if he needs help, and she's ready to offer her hand. But she must refrain herself and let him resolve the problem. She will stand on the sideline in the meantime, waiting for the chance to lend help as she trusted Vince. He knows what to do.
"I have to go soon, yes. And when I come back, I will listen to everything that you will share with me."
"Yes! I will wait for your return. Please be careful, okay?"?Can it be that it is something out of revenge for the Shang's? She has little knowledge about it because Cassandra and Theo's wife are her friends.
And speaking of those girls, they are pregnant again. Now she's envious and wishing she'll get pregnant soon. Maybe soon, while Vince is away, she should see an OB-Gyne and have a complete check-up if her body can carry a child.
Thinking about it, her chest filled with joy. She can't wait to carry a mini-Vince inside her belly. "Hubby, can we have a quick one before you leave?"
Vince stared at this beautiful woman in his arms. He shrunk his pupils, scrutinizing her innocent face, which someone hides in there—a seductress who can make him go crazy about her.
Yes. He is head over heels to this sneaky and cheeky girl. He must get upset or angry. And he is! However, he waited for four lonely years to find her again and become his. Now that he got a hold of her, will he waste everything?
He must be stupid if he'll let to lose her again and missed every opportunity to keep her by his side. He was honestly hurt and confused about what to do. But he's insanely in love with this woman. He can't give her up. And he has no plan to.
Vince bathes Hailey, like the ritual he's doing after they made love. He would blow dry her hair and then snuggle on the bed. But at this moment, he was working on top of her, giving her wild, quick sex before he headed to the airport. No foreplays and teasing for now.
Hailey woke up the following day, still feeling exhausted. Vince left for Las Vegas, and so she already knows that the other side of the bed is empty without opening her eyes.
She turned to her other side to reach for her phone on the bedside table to check the time; it was nine in the morning.
It's just a few hours since she falls asleep around four in the morning. But she felt delighted.
She stared at the ring on her middle finger. Before Vince leaves their suite, he slips the engagement rings on her finger. And so, she is too on his finger.
Hailey sits on the bed and leans her back on the headboard. She noticed the boxes of fresh roses on the bed. She reaches for the card, tears suddenly flooded her eyes, reading Vince's handwritten message.
"To my Moon,
I can't wait to see your smile soon.
I love you forever, wifey..."
— Vincent
She wipes the tears in her eyes, gets her phone, and snaps a photo on the card and the roses. Next, she took a selfie with a massive smile on her lips, showing her engagement rings.
"Hello, hubby. Thank you for the beautiful sunshine you gave me. I love you, too." She sent the photo and put it as a caption.
Hailey pondered for a moment. It's been a while since she updated her Instagram account as Hailee Davies. This public account is only about the places she visited these passing years, pictures of her luxury cars, yacht, a blurry photo of her inside her private jet, her outfits, and business stuff.
She never posted her face on this account; most of the time is her back or side view but hides in a hat.
And today, her millions of followers feasted on her post. She posted a hand of a woman and a man with engagement rings on their fingers.
"Getting married…."
