When Jules arrived at the ground fall, the elevator beeped and she slowly walked out, due to the weight of the file she was carrying, and to avoid falling.

"Let me help you," someone said, taking part of the files from her.

Jules glanced up to see a tall lean man with blond hair(Bryan), looking at her like she was some kind of goddess. Not just him, some of the workers who worked on the ground floor, also stopped what they were doing, and stared at her in amusement. some even took a quick picture of her to post in the group chat.

"Wow! The devil has a hot, beautiful, and young stepmom. If I were him, I'd be happy," Bryan thought.

Jules cast him a grateful smile, but her smile disappeared when she saw the way he was looking at her. She also noticed that he was not the only one, but everyone else.

"What happened? Why are they staring at me, is there something on my face?" Jules thought, slightly embarrassed.

She decides to ignore them, walking to her office, even though she could still

    "No plumpy," Jules yelled, staring at the wet files in horror. In an attempt to leave the office, plumpy had mistakenly spilled water on some of the files, Jules was working on."Oh my goodness! I'm so sorry boss, I didn't mean to," he squealed, attempting to clean the file."No plumpy, don't! That will only make things worse," Jules warned, taking the files away from him immediately.She stares at the wet files in her hands. 'What do I do now? It's almost lunchtime, and he said immediately after,' She pondered, sweating profusely. She knew that she won't be able to finish the files now that they were wet, even if she had to skip lunch.Jules closed her eyes for a minute, deep in thought, while plumpy stared at her curiously.Once she snapped her eyes open, she said, "Plumpy, you've to do me a favor?" Plumpy's eyes widened. "Anything boss, even if it's to share my beauty tips with you, I don't mind," he replied.Jules shook her head. how will she deal with this plumpy gay, if he kept

    "JULES VERNE! GET YOUR ASS OVER HERE," Hero yelled, storming into the cafe. Everyone twirled in his direction, staring at him like they had just seen a ghost. The doughnut in plumpy's hand drops to the ground. "OMG!" he squealed, his eyes growing wide like saucers, as he look down at his fallen doughnut.While Toby, Luke, Matthew, and Cersei's eyes were glued to the handsome man in front of them. “Is he human?” Cersei mumbled, twirling her hair in between her fingers.Although their cafe was very close to the Hi-Tech company, they had never come across Hero, apart from sighting him from a far distance...On the other hand, Jules blinked repeatedly. “Oh, God! Forgive me if I have offended you in any way, because I think it wouldn't be long before I come to you, in heaven,” She muttered under her breath, moving her feet toward Hero.Hero's scowl deepened and his fist curled into a ball when he saw that she was hesitant. “Can you hurry up, I don't have all day,” he growled, causing eve

    Jules held half of the files, while plumpy held the other half, as they walked to Hero's Office. Hero twirled on his chair, as he tried to forget the incident that happened earlier with Jules. "What a witch!" he mumbled, wondering how he was going to keep working and living under the same roof as her. He thought about just moving out of the house, that way, he would only get to see her at work but decided against it. To him, that was like accepting defeat and giving his stepmom the chance to carry out her dirty ploy on his father and also trample on his pride. No! that can never happen. Hero was still lost in thoughts when a resounding knock snapped him out. "Come in!" He said, thinking that it was Bryan, but once Jules walked in with plumpy following suit, his expression darkened immediately.What are you doing here?" He inquired, a deep scowl plastered on his face.Jules scoffed. 'Is he blind or what? Didn't he see the files I'm holding?' She ignored him, striding toward his de

    As they drove to the station, Jules kept yelling at the top of her voice, that she was innocent.However, one of the policemen turns to her with a scowl on his face. "Just keep quiet! That's what all the criminals say when they're caught." Jules scoffed, pouting her mouth in anger. "How can you call me a criminal? Do I look like one?" she yelled.The policemen chuckled like she said the most absurd thing. "Are you really asking us that? Look at yourself," one of them said.Jules glanced at herself. "Yup! I do look like a criminal," she mumbled.Jules didn't blame the cops, rather she blamed Hero. If he didn't make her a night guard, this wouldn't have happened. She wondered how Mr.Harper and Harley would feel if they find out, she was arrested and not coming back tonight. Will Hero, tell them the truth? Will he tell them that he made her a night guard after making her his second P.A, or will he fabricate a story instead...At the station, everyone kept giving Jules weird looks. "She

    "Officers I...I don't know her. Who is she?" Hero asked, feigning ignorance."Her name is Jules Verne. We arrested her last night for trying to break into your company. And she said she worked here...I guess she was just trying to trick us," the officer said."Yeah! I'm sure she was," Hero retorted, a smirk playing at the corner of his lips.Bryan who stood there was confused by what was going on. 'Is it the same Jules Verne I know, or someone else?' he thought, tilting his gaze from Hero to the policemen."Officers, can I see the photo?" He said before he could stop himself.The officers turn to him. "Sure!"Bryan looks at the picture and his eyes widen in shock. 'This is the same Jules, Hero's stepmom. but why did he tell the officers that he didn't know her? Bryan thought, tilting his gaze to Hero.Seeing the look on Hero's face, Bryan decided to also act like he didn't know her. He didn't want to die at such a young age."Uhmm! officers, I also don't know her."The officers nodded

    Jules stayed at home for rest of the day, until Harley and Hardin returned. "Mommy, mommy," Harley yelled, running into Jules's embrace."What happened to you? Why didn't you come home yesterday? I was worried," Harley said all at once."I... I erhm! I was working," Jules lied.Hardin who stood beside them scoffed, rolling his eye. He wished that Jules would always have to work from dawn to dusk, that way, he wouldn't get to see her face. Maybe her working for Hero wasn't a bad idea after all.Hardin shrugged, walking past Jules and Harley like they don't exist. "Hey! Young man, I'm right here," Jules mumbled, waving her hands in the air."So! what should I do about it?"Hardin answered, arrogantly, rolling his eyes.Striding toward him, Jules let an evil laugh, a mischievous glint flashing across her features. She was not just prepared to teach Hero a lesson, but also this brat, who always seems to disrespect her.Hardin moved back subconsciously. 'Why is she suddenly like this?' he

    The Hi-Tech company'What are you up to Jules Verne?' Hero mulled, pacing around his office. His mind was in a state of unrest, as he tries to figure out why Jules was suddenly nice to him."Bryan, I want you to arrange an appointment with a therapist, I think I'm losing my mind," he ordered, taking his seat.Bryan was stunned by his request but didn't say anything. He felt like Hero needed the therapist to help with his bad temper, so he immediately complied."Boss, I'll do that right away, but you have an appointment with Mr.Mason clay, CEO of the clay enterprise."Hero nodded. "I'll see the therapist after my appointment with Mr.Clay.""Boss, what about Mrs.Scott? Are you going to let her remain as a night's guard?" Bryan asked, hoping that Hero would, change Jules's work.A scowl appeared on Hero's face at the mention of Jules. She was the reason for his upheaval and the reason he wanted to see a therapist. There's no way he would give her a job, where he would get to see he

    "My condition is that you let, Jules Verne, finish the rest of the deal," Mason let out.Hero remained expressionless, but deep down he was surprised and confused as to how Mason knew Jules, and why he wanted to work with her.As if reading his thoughts, Mason said, "we met Just now." But of course, that was not enough to satisfy Hero's curiosity. He didn't believe that Jules and Mason had just met, to him there was more. "Why do you want to work with Jules Verne? As you said, you just met her... Besides, she's a security guard, she has no business with such kind of things," Hero inquired, his gaze on Mason all the while, trying to study his expression."Mr.Scott, that is between me and Miss Verne. Besides, the only thing left in our deal is signing the investment, and property document. I'm sure that's not hard for a security guard. My P. A will be here to sign the investment papers, while Miss Verne will be with me when I sign the property papers," Mason explained. Although he did

    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 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

    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

    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

    "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

    "Wife? Is Jules Mr.Harper's wife?" Sasha inquired, after hearing what Hardin had said. She had a curious look on and face and wanted to be sure she heard it right before jumping to a conclusion.However, everyone remained mum, heightening her curiosity even more. "Lady Scott is it true?" Sasha directed her question at Emelia, who sighed and wanted to speak up, however, Mr.Harper chipped in instead."Miss Sasha, It's our family matter, I don't think it concerns you," He said to her, earning a surprised look from everyone except Jules.They had expected him to tell Sasha that yes Jules was his wife, nonetheless, it was the other way around.Meanwhile, Sasha said nothing but she felt embarrassed and disappointed. Although Mr.Harper told her off, she was still keen on getting her answer sooner or later."Sorry for interfering in your affairs," Sasha retorted in a pitiful tone.Nevertheless, no one said anything after that. Emelia just urged everyone to eat as the food was getting cold...

    Jules and Harley swiveled in the direction to see Harris standing there, with a look of horror plastered all over his face.He silently prayed that Harley was not talking about the same Sasha he knew.On the other hand, Jules felt pity for him, but at the same time, she found his expression funny. While Harley knitted her brow in confusion and repeated. "Yes, Sasha!""How do you know her?" She went further to ask. From the look on her brother's face, Harley couldn't help but feel as if Harris knew the Sasha she was talking about...Meanwhile, Harris snapped out of his thoughts. It's probably another Sasha, however, when Jules said "It's the same Sasha from the club." Harris almost died from a heart attack."No, it can't be. What the hell is she doing here?" He unintentionally yelled.Seeing his behavior, Harley's suspicion increased. 'Could Sasha be one of Harris's numerous girlfriends? No, it can't be. Sasha looks way older,' she mulled. Before saying, "Brother, miss Sasha is going

    Emelia let out a burst of sheepish laughter, as she didn't know how to answer her son. There's no way she would tell him that the woman standing in front of him was his prospective bride and she was going to be living with them. She knew that he would be furious and never agree to it and she didn't want him to send Sasha away as she and Peggy have been long-time friends.Avoiding his gaze, Emelia said, "Uhm...you see, Sasha here is Peggy's daughter.""I already know that mother. What I want to know is what she's doing here...that too with her luggage?" Mr.Harper asked suspiciously.Emelia sighed as she didn't know what to say. She was lost for words and excuses. After a few seconds of silence, she tilts her gaze to Sasha, silently asking her for help. After all, it was Sasha's mom who put her in such a dilemma.Seeing the look on Emelia's face, Sasha immediately figured out that Emelia needed help so she intervened."Sir Scott, you know my mother and Emelia have been friends for yea

    Although she couldn't really make out everything he was saying, she still heard something like last night, and Jules, making her tremble slightly.Could Hero have told his father about last night? She pondered. And at that moment, both Hero and Mr.Harper whirled in her direction.Feeling guilty and scared at the same time, Jules didn't know what came over her, and she started to babble. "It's not what you think, I didn't mean to do it," she tells Mr.Harper while picking on her nails. She didn't want the same man who respected her even though she was younger than he was to see her as a vile person. Mr.Harper, however, knitted his eyebrow in question "What do you mean, dear?" He inquired, feeling confused. On the other hand, Hero's lips instantly curved into a smirk as he understood what Jules meant.'Such a fool! She thinks I told dad that she molested me. Why would I do that when nothing really happened?' He mulled, staring at Jules in amazement. He couldn't believe that she was so
