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
Hero arrived at his company in a gloomy mood. He walked into the building and all the workers trembled in fear. "Good morning sir," they greeted, but he ignored them, walking angrily to his office.Immediately he sat on his chair, he put a call across to his P.A. "come to my office right away," he said, before hanging up the phone.It didn't take up to a minute before a guy with blonde hair walked into his office."Good morning boss," he greeted.Instead of answering him, Hero said. "Bryan, I want you to find out everything about Jules Verne.""But boss, may I know who she is?"Hero sneered. "If I knew who she was, I wouldn't be asking you to find out everything about her, besides why do you need to know that, ?" Hero barked, making Bryan tremble in fear."I...it not what I mean boss. I mean who is she to you, it might help me get the information faster," Bryan shuttered.Hero scoffed. That gold digger cannot be anything to me, although she's married to my father, we share no relatio
Jules, shivered slightly at his tone of voice, then she said, "what's wrong with what I called you?""You have no right to call me that. you will address me as sir," Hero retorted, gritting his teeth."Okay, Sir grumpy," Jules said, teasingly, suppressing her laughter.Hero clenched his fist and gnashed his teeth, to suppress his anger. He felt a burning rage, as he glared daggers at Jules.Harley who was watching them suddenly remembered her favorite cartoon(Tom and Jerry), and her face lit up in excitement. "I might as well sit down and enjoy the show, Harley thought, before strolling to one of the couches. She popped on it, crossing her little legs, as she glanced from Jules to Hero."Listen very well you dimwit I don't like you, so you should do well to avoid me in the future," Hero rasped.Jules rolled her eyes, putting her hands on her waist then she said, "Well, I don't like you either. who do you think you are? you dipshit.""How dare you? who did you call a dipshit? you mon
They all stared at Mr. Harper like he had gone nuts. "Darling husband, I don't understand why you would ask me to work for him when he clearly doesn't like me?" Jules muttered, casting a curious glance at Mr.Harper."Yes dad, why would I work with this money monger? besides you have your own company, she should work for you instead," Hero muttered, gritting his teeth. he couldn't imagine himself working beside her, having to see her face every day. yikes! he thought, wrinkling his face in displeasure.A mischievous smile crossed Mr.Harper's lips and he said inwardly, "it's because I want you two to become closer."Clearing his throat, Mr. Harper said, "I don't want her to work for me because, she's my wife and people might say I'm giving her special treatment, even when I'm not. That's why I suggest, she works for you instead."Hero scoffed, rolling his eyes. "Dad, I don't want to work with someone like her, I just can't."Jules also rolled her eyes, then she said, "it's not like I w
Mr.Harper," Jules called."Yes yes," he answered immediately, sighing in relief."I agree to work for Hero."Mr.Harper almost jumped up in excitement but restrained himself."Thank you, Miss Verne," he muttered....The next day Jules had to wake up early to prepare for work.Knowing who Hero was, she knew he would not take it lightly with her even if she makes the slightest mistake. she also didn't want to give him more reasons to say mean things about her.After brushing her teeth, and taking a shower, Jules wore a white long sleeve shirt, and neatly ironed black trousers to go, tucking the shirt inside her pant. she also packs her hair in a ponytail, applying only lip gloss, then she put on a two inches heels to go. She didn't want anything that will disturb her, more than the fact that she is going to work in the lion's den.Walking down the stairs, Jules noticed that, there was no one in the living room, "Are they still asleep?" She thought, twirling in the direction of Harley's
