"Hero, the truth is that I...Jules paused for a while after saying that and glanced up to meet his gaze."You give me your word that if I tell you the truth, you won't tell the family about what happened between us," she whispered, although he could still hear her. Hero sighs impatiently before saying with gritted teeth "I give you my word."Jules then stood on her tiptoe and whispered into his ears. "I wonder why you want to know if I'm married to your dad? Is it because you like me...anyway the truth is that I'm married to your dad."Immediately after she said that the door swung open revealing Sasha. "What the hell is going on here?" She yelled, and Jules hastily pulled away from Hero. Sasha's lips curve into a smirk, and she moved closer to them and asked mockingly. "Did I interrupt something?" "You didn't. Nonetheless, you should have knocked before entering my room," Jules retorted calmly while rolling her eyes."Are you anger because I didn't knock or because I interrupted
Unlike the previous day, the family members except for Emelia Scott left home for both work and school. Even Jules had to return to work in order to prevent the other workers from gossiping or saying she was getting special treatment because she was probably dating their boss.After they left, it was Emelia Scott and Sasha at home. Sasha walked up to Emelia who sat in the garden as she had nothing to do."Ma'am Emily, don't you feel bored sitting here all by yourself? I should keep you company," Sasha said, calmly. Although she had other alternatives, apart from keeping Emelia company. Since she had planned to get Jules thrown out of the Scotts mansion, she decided that it was the best time to put her plan in motion. And also get the answers to her question.On the other hand, Emelia swiveled in Sasha's direction, before letting out a faint smile. "Come sit here Sasha," She ushered Sasha to the seat opposite hers.Not only Sasha had questions but Emelia also had a question of her own
Bryan let out a deep breath and retorted. "I already did that boss.""So did you find out who was behind it?" Hero inquired with keen interest."Actually boss, the person goes by the name Mr.Macaroni and he's anonymous. No picture or information about the person. We also couldn't trace the source," Bryan replied and Hero scoffed.'Mr. Macaroni, such a ridiculous name! I wonder who that is' Hero mulled, before saying "When is then meeting?""It's in five minutes time boss." Hero nodded. "Let's go," he told Bryan, before walking ahead. Bryan followed Hero but not before giving the image on his tablet one last look.It was an image of Jules and Mason at the hospital. Although Bryan had wanted to show it to Hero, he decided against it, knowing that his boss might probably get upset after seeing it. Besides, the picture of Mason and Jules might be deleted soon like the previous ones, or so he thought.After all, It seemed like someone was deliberately removing the photos of Mason and Jule
Jules shrieked in horror and instantly moved away from the package.'Why didn't I think of that? What if a bomb is really in there? I could have died just now,' she mulled over, before going to stand behind Hero, likewise Bryan."Mr.Scott the package is meant for you, so you should open it," As she was short, she had to stand on her tiptoe to whisper it in his ears.Hero glanced at the woman, who was holding onto with a slight hint of amusement in his eyes, before tilting his gaze in the direction of the package.He eyed the package for a while before saying, "Bryan you should open it."Bryan gasped. "No way boss! I'm afraid I'll have to decline your order this time. The package clearly states that it's for Hero, and my name is Bryan, not Hero," Bryan stated, bobbing his head frantically.Both Jules and Bryan held on to Hero as if he was their life support_their only saving grace at that moment.Seeing that none of them were willing to open it, Hero sighed and decided to open it inste
Meanwhile, an evil smirk played around the corner of Sasha's lips as she stood on the balcony where she could see the family members at the dining table, except Hero and Jules who were absent.She immediately sent a text to someone, before putting the small phone away. Then she took out her iPhone and sent a text message to Emelia. Although she knew that what she was doing was cliche and immature, she didn't care as long as she achieved her goal. On the other hand, Jules was just about to walk out of her room when she got a text message. "Come to my room, and make sure you bring Hero along."Jules stare at the message in confusion, mulling over why would Emelia would text her with a hidden number. Probably because she doesn't want me to have her contact.' Then she shrugged off the thought and decided to call Hero instead.Scrolling through her contacts, Jules gasped when she realized that she didn't have Hero's number and decided to go to his room instead, although, for some reason
Jules Verne a twenty-one years old girl signs a fake marriage contract with a wealthy billionaire old enough to be her father...."Miss Verne, you don't have to worry, everything will be fake. All you have to do is pretend to be my wife and help me. I want you to teach my children to be responsible. They should take life seriously, change their mindset, and view the world differently. I want them to be less cruel and arrogant. They should learn to respect and see the good in people, be it rich or poor, I want them to see everyone as equals, not look down on them. can you do that miss Verne?"Jules stared at the elderly man in front of her, he looked like someone in his late fifties, and old enough to be her father. what would people think if she claimed to be his wife? However, she needed money for her mother's treatment, and to pay the debt she owed. If she wanted to make money and make it fast, the man sitting in front of her was the answer. The hospital in which her mother was
That night, Jules could not sleep, as she tossed on her bed. Although she was glad that Harris and Harley liked her, she was still worried. How would she cope with Hardin, and the other(Hero) whom she is yet to meet? she wondered how he would react when he meets her. If he would also react like Hardin.After tossing around for a long time, she decided to go downstairs to get water, because she was feeling tasty. Jules walked down the slightly dim hallway, heading toward the kitchen. She was grateful that Mr. Scott and Harley had given her a tour around the house, or she would have missed her way. Although the hall was dim, Jules could still make out where she was going, so she didn't bother putting on the light.Jules strolled into the kitchen, and grabbed a bottle of water, before walking out. When she was about to make her way upstairs, she felt a strong presence in the hall.Although Jules, could not see the person clearly, she could still make out that it was a man, because
"Calm down Lord grumpy, she is our new mommy," Harley told him, rolling her big eyes.Hero still didn't understand what she meant, so he said. "What do you mean?"Hardin sighs, and decided to put an end to his confusion. He wanted to see how Hero would react, whether he would also like their gold digger step mom, or hate her just like he does."She is dad's new wife, Jules Verne.""What!" Hero yelled, making everyone on the table, tremble slightly."Dad is Hardin saying the truth? Is this dimwit, really your wife?""Watching it Hero, how dare you call her a dimwit? this should be the last time you call her something like that. You must show her respect as your stepmother," Mr. Scott reprimanded angrily."I will call her whatever I want dad. How can you tell me that she is your wife, when did you get married?""That's none of your business son. All you need to know is that she is my loving wife, and you must respect her, whether you like it or not."Hero scoffed. "That will never happe
