Becoming My Stepson's Wife 28
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. They wondered why she wanted Jules to go with Hero, knowing how much he disliked her. what could she be up to?"Grandmother, I don't understand..

Meanwhile, Jules turned to the man beside her once they were inside the hall. "Thanks for your help," She let out, biting her lips shyly... She had least expected him to show up at that moment and save her from her embarrassing situation, but he did."It's nothing, Miss Verne. I was only helping a friend," Mason clay answered, looking at the woman in front of him with so much admiration. At the same time, he couldn't help but wonder why a young and beautiful woman like her married, someone old enough to be her father.Earlier when he arrived at the party, he saw that she was standing alone while the Scott family stood together, as the paparazzi took photos of them."Isn't she a part of the Scotts? why is she standing over there, when she should be with them?" Mason muttered to himself. Now more than ever, he was convinced that Jules's marriage to Mr.Scott was a complicated one. That is if she was even married to him at all...Concurrently, Jules gave Mason a small smile before saying

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
