Becoming My Stepson's Wife 27
Hero was filled with rage as he stared at different pictures of Jules and Harley in a nightclub.'So that vile woman took Harley to a club, and she had the guts to ask me why I cared,' He thought as his grip on the phone tightened.What made him angrier was the fact that Harley had lied to him without thinking twice about it. She did so just to save that woman's skin.In the past, Harley would always tell him the truth regardless of the consequences, however, ever since Jules came into the picture, she became the complete opposite. She lied to him with ease.It now seemed like the more Jules stayed with them, the more narrow-minded Harley became. Thinking about that, Hero, felt like he had to do something to save his family from the clutches of the vile woman. However, he had no idea what to do.Sighing, he gave the picture one more look, before tossing his phone on the bed. Nonetheless, he hastily picked it up again as if recalling something.Yes! He recalled that there was an applic

Later that day, Hero picked his grandmother up from the airport, and on their way back, he filled her in on all that was happening at home, even about the new wife their father had married, and how vile and cunning she was.Old lady Scott(Emelia) listened attentively to her grandson with a strange glint in her eyes. 'So Harper got a new wife and he didn't tell me about it_The nerve of that man! Just because he has four children, he thinks he can do whatever he likes without telling me,' Emelia Scott thought, with a scowl on her face.She was not happy at all, especially hearing that the woman her son married was very young and a gold digger, who is only after their family fortune.She already hated Whoever the woman was and thought of ways in which she would deal with both her(Jules) and her son(Harper Scott)...Once Hero arrived at the Scotts mansion with his grandmother, Mr.Harper, Harris, and Hardin were waiting outside to welcome her. However, Jules was absent as she got a call f

Meanwhile, Jules was unaware of the storm that awaits her at the Scott mansion, so she stayed longer at the hospital since she barely got time to visit her mom...She was happy that her mother was improving, and at any moment, she would wake up from her coma, as the doctor had said.However, there was still this guilty feeling that surges through her whenever she thinks about what would happen after her mother's recovery, and when she'd leave the Scott mansion.Will the others also see her as a gold digger when they find out she was never married to their father but pretended to, just for money?They might probably be disappointed in her and even start to hate her just like Hero and Hardin do now. Thinking about it, Jules became scared_ for some reason she didn't want Harley and Harris to hate her, perhaps because she was already so familiar with them, or due to the fact that she barely had any friends or people in life, as she was always busy running around for money....It was eve

"Mother, it was love at first sight," Mr.Harper cuts Jules off, saying the first thing that came to his mind.Everyone turns to look at him in surprise, even Jules tilts her gaze to Mr. Harper. 'Love at first? No one would believe that' Jules mulled, tilting her gaze back to Emelia, who looked stunned.She was quiet for a while, before bursting into a peal of laughter. "Love at first sight! You must be joking Harper. Do you expect me to believe that? No, do I look like a fool," Emelia said in between laughter.Although she was laughing, it was not out of amusement but infuriation. She didn't believe her son would just fall in love with Jules at first sight. So it was either he said that to stop her from questioning Jules further, or he lost his mind. Besides, she didn't believe in love at first sight.On the other hand, the Scott siblings almost laughed at their father's outburst. Harris and Harley couldn't help but chuckle at how adorable their father looked when he blurted out 'lov

Meanwhile, Emelia sat down in the living room, watching a tv series. Although she seemed concentrated on the show, her mind was somewhere else. She was thinking about her young daughter-in-law, with hopes that she wouldn't be able to finish cooking on time, or better still her food should be poorly cooked. That way, she would have another reason to scold her.On the other hand, Hero and Harris walked into the living room, pausing abruptly to look at their grandmother. "Why is she dressed like that?" Harris whispered to his elder brother who rolled his eyes and said, "How would know?" Before walking toward their grandmother to greet her.'He's so mean. He doesn't even treat me like his brother,' Harris thought, before following suit."Good morning grandma," Hero and Harris said at the same time bringing the old woman's attention to them.Emelia smiled, as she tilts her gaze in her grandchildren's direction. For a while, she forgot about Jules and faced them."Hero, when are you gettin

The family members waited for Emelia to taste the food before digging in. It was like they were waiting for her opinion before eating.Meanwhile, Hardin watched them with a smirk playing at the corner of his lips. Unlike everyone else, he didn't start eating, instead, he waited to see their reactions_Their disgusted and angry face when they taste Jules's food. He was sure that they were going to be disappointed especially his grandmother. However, no one said a word but ate their food in silence. Also by the look on their face, you could tell they were enjoying it. How can this be? Letitia surely spiked the food with a lot of salt, why is no one saying anything? Why are they still eating the food? Hardin thought, looking very confused.He tilts his gaze from his grandmother to the rest of the family_What even shock him the most was the fact that Hero who hated Jules was eating the food without a word or so much as a scrunched face. What the f*ck!Meanwhile, Emelia smiled slightly as

when he tried passing the plate of food to Emelia, Harley immediately snatched it from him and dropped it in the process away."Oops! It was an accident," She mumbled, putting on an innocent font. she could tell what was going on in Hardin's mind just by looking at his face. 'he looks innocent, but has a black mind,' Harley thought.Meanwhile, Hardin glared at his sister and gritted his teeth. Now more than ever, he was convinced that Harley was behind his salty food, who else would do such a thing?Although he wouldn't admit it, he knew Jules was kind and would never think of doing something like that to him..."Harley, you did that on purpose didn't you?" Hardin pointed at his sister and yelled"How can you say that? I was only trying to taste your food but mistakenly knocked it over. why are you accusing me?" Harley let out in her bubbly voice while pouting her mouth. Hardin scoffed. "You...""Leave it, Hardin, what's done is done! Forget it," Emelia cuts him off, handing her own

"Fine, she would go to the party_ However, it won't be with Harris, but with Hero," Emelia muttered.She had wanted to say Jules should go alone in a separate car, but she knew Mr.Harper and Harley might not agree. So instead she said Jules should go with Hero, knowing that he was not close to Jules and would probably ignore her during the party, which would attract less attraction.But in Harris's case, it was different. seeing that he liked Jules and was close to her. He would definitely be around her during the party and that would attract attention. People would want to know who she is, and what she does. And Emelia wanted to prevent that from happening. She was oblivious to the fact that even if Jules went with Hero, Harris would still find a way to be with her.Meanwhile, the whole family looked at Emelia like she had grown two heads.
