His Contractual Mistress

Chapter 507 Madison's Doubts

　　"It was me who gave out the order," said Vincent as he approached them.

　　The executive knights present in the restaurant recognized the two men following behind him. They all cheered. "Ed! Zed!"

　　"Yo!" Both Ed and Zed flash a smile. The Franklin twins are Hailee's most trusted envoys for dangerous missions. "What's up, bros!"

　　"Hey!" The knights greeted them, hugging and throwing knuckles at each other.

　　"How does it happen?" Levi queried Vincent when he halted near them. It surprised him to see Vincent today as a miracle had just happened.

　　"It was a long story," Vincent replied. He added, "James will explain that at the perfect time."

　　"I still could not believe it. Shun is trying to locate you with his satellites, but there is no trace of you!" Levi stated after looking at James. He was still conflicted about why James shared nothing and lacked trust in them. If they plotted against that man, Shun was prepared to help.

　　"The most important thing is Vincent alive," said Geoffrey. They have no knowledge that Vincent is communicating with James. But Geoffrey had a positive point of view.

　　Whatever the reason that James shared nothing with them in the past few days, he understands and sees it as an excellent strategy to lure the enemy. Not only that, the possibility is that one of them is a traitor who actually works for the enemy, and they are all well aware that a day will come; each one of them will receive crucial orders from Hailee. And they must carry out that order until their last breath as Pitt did.

　　However, Madison, on the other hand, had a slight doubt in her heart. She has been too cautious around her after what she witnessed inside Hailee's dream. That's why she is often thinking overly lately.

　　Vincent suddenly appeared. He is unscratched and even looks like a new person. Should she believe he was still the original Vincent?

　　"Sweetheart."

　　Madison was pulled out from her deep thoughts when Levi patted her back gently. She blinked and fixed her gaze on her husband's sexy jawline. She smiled, then shifted her attention to Vincent.

　　"I'm happy that you are back in one piece, Vincent," Madison buried the doubts in her heart and spoke with glee.

　　Vincent looked at Madison and replied, "I'm very fortunate. Ed and Zed quickly rescued me, and we escaped from Hillside Lake and then transported from V Country Sea toward the Indian Ocean via the Royal Submarine."

　　"Wait… Are you saying you were only hiding in the depths of the sea this whole time?"

　　"Yes. It was part of Hailee's plan." Vincent affirmed.

　　"The Empress?" The knights were stunned to hear this, as the rest knew nothing of Hailee's plan.

　　"We are sorry that we didn't share any of this. The Empress only wanted to avoid any compromises to the entire plan." Zed Franklin chimed in. He then explained. "The Empress has been planning an ambush drama when the Dark Shadow Organization will attack Vincent again."

　　"However, one of our eyes was caught and tortured. Someone has the capability of reading minds, even though my guy refuses to speak." The twin Ed Franklin added.

　　"That must be the master. He is dangerous and should not be underestimated." Madison's warnings.

　　"I could confirm that Lady Montfort's statement was true. I have evidence that mystery surrounded him," said Ed.

　　"Ed's lookout outside Lamandi Palace reported that the master uses all his resources to find me after the surprise attack. I ordered the fleet to sail toward the Indian Ocean as a diversion while the Sub was heading back to Australia. The world will set its eyes on the fleet and feel the tension to scare the V Country Parliament from here on. Soon, the fleet will sail for V Country after Andre joins them."

　　"Hmm… Then I should be on my way." After just keeping his mouth shut since day one and acting as if he was only a bystander, Andre spoke. Now, as the fleet commander, he must act and lead them.

　　"Hailee is waiting for you." Andre patted Vincent's back before he walked toward the door.

　　In the passing weeks, he stands beside Hailee and Vincent to plan out everything, giving his advice on the pro and cons they will face during the assassination drama. They must be prepared for everything, like what happened to Hailee and the babies; their lives were in danger after their momma got too emotional. 

　　Good, everything was in place before the surprise attack by the assassins. They rode the flow until the perfect time, Vincent appeared, and Hailee woke up.

　　"That was a relief, Vincent. I am losing my mind thinking about where you were after the attack."

　　Vincent was astonished to see the sincerity in Levi's eyes. He could genuinely see how everyone was concerned with his disappearance.

　　"Thank you for taking care of Hailee and our children. James keeps me updated that you never leave her side and watch her 24 hours a day." He expressed his gratitude to Madison and Levi.

　　"Don't mention it. We are all family. No one helps each other but us all in any way we can," said Madison, with a hidden meaning in her tone. The guilt in her heart still lingered at the bottom of her chest. Every day, she prayed everything would be over soon and that the world would be at peace.

　　"We all love Hailee. In everything that Hailee possesses in her life, none brought happiness but you, Vincent, so please stay alive. If something had happened to you, it would break Hailee. That is why we are glad that you are safe." Levi expressed.

　　"I barely live, yes. And I am supposed to stay hidden. But there are changes in the plans."

　　As Vincent said this, his eyes flashed a dangerous glare, like he would kill someone soon.

　　He carried on, "So, here I am. I had just landed on the rooftop and phoned James. But then I overheard a commotion in the background, so I came here straight."

　　"Then we should go to Hailee now," Madison urged. She used the word we instead of you, not to sound obvious that she wanted to keep an eye on him to ensure that he was not the Dark Shaman possessing Vincent's body, as she felt an unexplainable aura coming from him.

　　"Yes. I will leave the rest of the explanation to James. I want to see my wife and children now."

　　"Let's go then…." Madison grabbed Levi's hand and walked ahead of Vincent. She gives Levi a meaningful look along the way, and he immediately understands.

　　"It's alright. You don't need to be anxious and raise your guard around me." 

　　In the elevator, Vincent spoke all of a sudden. He could actually notice the couple kept exchanging meaningful gazes the entire time.
