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

That night, the family except Hero were having their dinner, and for some reason, Hardin was extremely happy. On the other hand, Jules and Harley chatted happily as they ate, while Harris and his father, discussed some important matters. Although Hardin was left out, he didn't feel bothered, or interested in their conversation. Instead, he was lost in thoughts and grinning ear to ear."Hardin you seem happy, do you mind sharing the secret behind your happiness," Jules muttered, in an attempt to start a conversation so he wouldn't feel left out.However, Hardin scoffed and said, "It's not a crime to be happy is it?"Both Mr.Harper and Harris tilted their gaze to him. "Do you always have to be rude to your stepmom even when she's trying to be nice to you?" Mr.Harper scolded."Dad, I don't need her to be nice to me_ she pretends to be nice in front of you, but in your absence, she's a different person," Hardin responded, as he recalled how Jules pulled his ears the other day.Jules smi

After Jules dropped Harley at school, she went directly to the clay enterprise. "I'm here to see Mason clay," she tells the Secretary. The secretary gave her a disdainful look, not bothering to hide her dislike for Jules. 'She's probably one of those women, that boss has a fling with,' she thought, hating the fact that Jules was beautiful and slim fit."Who are you? Do you have an appointment with the boss?" She asked, still eying Jules.Jules gave her a small smile even if she knew the secretary hated her."I'm Jules Verne from the Hi-Tech company, and yes, I HAVE AN APPOINTMENT WITH YOUR BOSS," she emphasized.Ohh! The Secretary mouthed as if realizing that Jules was not who she thought. However, it didn't mean that she liked her. She knew how her boss was with beautiful women, and she was sacred, that Jules would snatch him away."This way!" She muttered, leading Jules to the elevator. She didn't need to inform her boss, because he had already given her strict instructions, to

Mason was quiet for a while giving her a look of disbelief before he burst into a peal of laughter."Miss Verne, you really are funny_ Hero's stepmom, omg! Then I'm probably Hero's stepdad," Mason said in-between laughter.Mason, thought that Jules only said that to push him away, so he didn't take her seriously."You don't believe me?" She questioned, her cheek flushed in embarrassment. "Why would I believe you?" Mason answered, making Jules pout her mouth in annoyance. 'Why did he ask if he's not going to believe.'Jules wanted to say something, however, a waiter came and requested their order."Sir, what would you like to have?" the waiter asked, tilting his gaze from Mason to Jules."What would you like to have, Miss Verne?" Mason redirected the question to Jules.She scanned through the menu, and did not know what to pick so she said, "Why don't you pick Mr.clay?"Mason nodded, then he told the waiter, what he wanted and that he should get the same for Jules.A few minutes later

Jules walked into the house with a huge grin on her face, while holding the property documents in her hand.After everything that happened today, Jules concluded that Mason clay was not as bad as she thought. After all, he bought her lunch and he signed the property document, without asking for anything in return.To top it off, he was extremely nice to her and didn't treat her like garbage, or the way Hero does. As she walked into the house, Jules was oblivious to the pair of eyes staring at her_ Her mind was occupied with this afternoon's event and she was sure Hero would treat her much better now that she succeeded in her first task.'I'm so happy I was able to get the property documents, maybe now Hero would acknowledge me,' Jules pondered, glancing up to see her family members."Welcome home mommy! Did you get the property documents?" Harley who was sitting beside Harris quickly ran to Jules and welcomed her. Jules nodded, with a shy smile and said, "I did Lily. Here it is," be

Harris and Harley watched the scene in awe. "What Just happened," Harris whispered to Harley, who rolled her eyes and said, "I should be the one asking_ you're the adult after all."Harris pouted his mouth and turn to his father, who quickly stood up to avoid his children's question.Mr.Harper walked hastily toward his room, but not before casting a gaze at Jules's room. The reason he was not bothered about those photos was because he knew the kind of person she is. Besides, they were not truly married, and she had the right to be with whoever she wanted, although he wanted it to be his son Hero.However, Hero was blinded by his hate for her, that he couldn't see the good in her.From what Mr.Harper observed in those photos earlier, he could tell that Mason clay was somehow interested in Jules and was the one making an advance toward her_ After all, which single young man in his right sense would not be interested in Jules? she's smart, beautiful, and has a good heart. Everything abou

Harris cuts Jules off and pulls her closer to him. Jules gasped, and turn to Harris with a wide eye. To say she was stunned was an understatement, Did Harris just call her his girlfriend in front of everyone?Jules immediately tilts her gaze back to Harris and whispers, "What are you doing?" Then to Sasha who had a calm demeanor.For some reason, she felt that the older-looking woman in front of her was not someone she should mess with. Although Sasha had a calm and innocent face, there was this dark glint in her eyes that screamed danger."Please Mrs.Scott, just play along. She's my girlfriend and I want to get rid of her. She is too clingy and possessive. Please do this for me, and I'll be forever indebted to you," Harris whispered back.For the second time that night, Jules was stunned as she stare at Sasha. She was stunned because Sasha looked way older than Harris. She looked like someone in her mid-thirties while Harris was only twenty-four.'Why would he date someone older? Ma

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
