Scarlet's expression hardened after she heard Seth's words.

The audacity of this old man to threaten her, and trying to take advantage of the fact that he was an investor in the company, was infuriating. He was even more disgusting than she had thought.“If you’re done embarrassing yourself, Mr. Seth, I suggest you leave. My husband and I have more important things to do.” Her tone was like ice, sharp and cold.

Seth’s face reddened his nostrils flaring. This wasn't the reaction he expected from Scarlett. He thought by threatening her she would reconsider the situation and give in, however he was wrong for thinking that.

He shot one last venomous and hateful look at Julian, his fists clenched tight, but he didn’t say a word to Julian, instead he turned to Scarlett and said. "Fine. Since you seem so confident, I’ll withdraw all my investments. Let’s see how long you can last without me.”

With that, he turned to leave but paused, eyes locking onto Julian with an icy sneer. Slowly,

    Scarlett looked up at her brother and cousin, who had barged into her office, screaming at her about Mr Seth’s decision to withdraw his investments from their company.But honestly, she couldn’t care less. She was glad that the creep had decided to withdraw his investments. It wasn’t like he was the only investor in the world.“Are you two done?” Her voice was calm and controlled, but a sharp edge of annoyance lay just beneath the surface. “Because if all you came here to do was panic, you’re wasting my time.”Amara scoffed at Scarlet's response, folding her arms. Although she wasn't surprised by her attitude. Scarlett was like this, prideful, stubborn, and always acting like she was untouchable. It got on Amara's nerves more than she cared to admit. ‘Freaking bitch.’ she thought to herself, however she wouldn't dare say that out loud.Victor stepped forward, irritation sharp in his gaze. And he had every right to be upset. Scarlett hadn’t just driven away a major investor,she did it

    Him and Scarlett were just putting on a facade of husband and wife and none of them would care what the other did, but still, Amara's words weren't just insulting, they were also disgusting. She was suggesting that even if they were real husband and wife, Scarlett should go out and cheat on him for business.His eyes narrowed, dangerous and cold, but he stayed seated, his gaze fixed on Amara and Victor, like they were one wrong word away from regret. “Careful, both of you. I think you should watch your words!” he said quietly, his voice dead calm, though every word carried a threat.Amara snorted, tossing her hair over her shoulder like his words were nothing but background noise. “What? Did I hit a nerve Julian?” Her smirk widened, her eyes showing a hint of malice. “You’re nothing but a joke, Julian. No matter how much you pretend, that won't change.

    Scarlett couldn't help but question Julian's intelligence at this point. It was one thing to bluff, but to claim something so outrageous as having a hundred million dollars was beyond absurd. Her eyes lingered on him, silently telling him to stop embarrassing himself, however he wasn't paying attention to her. ‘Fucking idiot! Does he even realize how stupid he sounds right now?’ Scarlet thought. She gritted her teeth, she wanted to scream at Julian in anger. She feared that Julian was going to embarrass himself, and in extension her too, since she was his wife. “Julian, stop making a fool out of yourself.” She couldn't take it anymore, and she had to tell him right then and there in front of everyone, “We all know you don’t have that kind of money, so just drop it.” She had on, her usual no nonsense stare, the one that usually got people to shut up and listen.But not Julian, he ignored her without a second thought, turning to Victor and Amara. “You know what?I changed my mind, ma

  • The Invisible Heir   A Night to remember

    "Hello, is this Julian Blackwood?" a smooth, feminine voice inquired. Furrowing his brows, Julian Blackwood replied, "Yes, it is." Standing just outside the mansion’s front door, he paused and asked in a curious voice, "Who’s this?" The feminine and professional voice on the other end of the line, sounded relieved to hear his confirmation. "Hi, Master Julian, I'm Vera Turner. Our firm has been trying to reach you for a while now," the woman explained. "I'm calling to remind you that you don't have much time left to claim your inheritance. If you don't act soon, the government will step in and seize everything." Julian frowned, realizing who was calling him. "Oh, it's you people again. I thought I made it clear the last time that I have no interest in inheriting anything. Let the government take it." His frustration was understandable. He’d changed his number to avoid these persistent calls, yet they’d somehow managed to track him down again. "Master Blackwood," Vera continued, he

  • The Invisible Heir   Never again

    Julian froze as he saw someone who looked like Claire disappear into the corridor with a man. His heart skipped a beat. Was it her? he wondered to himself. No, it couldn’t be. But that laugh was definitely hers. And the figure? No doubt about it. But what was she doing with that man she was with, walking hand in hand, like two people in love? Curious, Julian's feet moved before his mind could catch up, and he started moving towards the corridor, ignoring Gabe and everyone He walked through the corridor, hesitating as he wondered if perhaps he was mistaken and it was not Claire and his boss. The last thing he needed was to make a fool of himself, by badging in on people having a private moment. Deciding to confirm he followed the way they went. After walking on the opulent corridor, he turned a corner, and there it was the bathroom door. The door was slightly opened, and he could hear voices coming from inside. As Julian got closer, the voices became clearer. He recognize

  • The Invisible Heir   Drunk and Kidnapped

    Julian stormed out of the building, the sound of their laughter fading behind him. The feeling of betrayal was sharp, the worst of all the emotions coursing through him. How could she do this? He had trusted her, believed she was different—someone who could see beyond his scars. But now, as he replayed her cold, indifferent expression, he wondered if any of it had ever been real. Had she always been this heartless, or had he simply been blind to the truth? He wished it were all just a dream, that he could wake up and find everything back to normal. But it wasn’t. Julian’s thoughts wandered back to the haunting emptiness he’d carried since he was a boy. From the moment he lost his family at seven, that void had never left him. For years, the only family he’d known was the butler who had taken him in. But even that was taken away, and after the butler’s death, Julian was left alone, sinking deeper into darkness. Then he met Claire, and for a brief time, she had changed everything.

  • The Invisible Heir   A night stand?

    Julian blinked open, for the first time since he passed out in the bar the previous night and he had no idea of what had happened after he passed out. His vision was hazy as he tried to make sense of his surroundings. To his surprise, he realized that he was lying in a large, plush bed, wrapped in crisp white sheets that felt soft against his skin. The room around him was bathed in soft morning light, streaming through the large and opulence windows. The decor was rich, with dark tones accented by elegant touches, creating a sense of luxury and comfort. Everything around this room screamed of luxury and elegance, it was nothing like his cramped apartment or anywhere he’d ever been before. Questions flooded Julian's mind: What was this place, and what was he doing here? How did he get here in the first place? “Damn, here comes the hangover, maybe drinking a dozen bottle's wasn't really a good idea.” Julian's head pained him as he tried to sit up, memories of the previous night

  • The Invisible Heir   No way out?

    The silence from the woman as she stared at him, was unsettling Julian. “I really have no idea, believe.” He said. The woman’s eyes narrowed, her voice cold. “You seriously have the nerve to stand there and pretend you don’t know what happened?” She sat up, wrapping the blanket around her shoulders. “Half-dressed in my bed. Do you just wander into random women’s rooms, or am I just the lucky one?” She didn't sound as angry as earlier, because she was starting to realize something. She suspected that she might be the one at fault here. Maybe she was the one who invited him, but with no memory of the night, she couldn’t shake the feeling that it could still be his fault. Julian clenched his jaw, frustration building. “Look, I don’t know what happened either. I was at a bar, had a few too many, and woke up here. That’s all I remember. I'm not at fault here.” He said. She raised an eyebrow, giving him a skeptical once-over. She wasn't as uncomfortable and enraged as she was initial

    Mr. Seth's eyes narrowed as he glanced at Scarlett and Julian's joined hands. He was jealous to see that.His lips curled into a sneer, clearly unconvinced that Scarlett would ever get married to someone like him. "Husband, huh?" He scoffed, looking Julian up and down like he was a stain on an expensive suit. "You must be joking. A man like this? We all know you don't have a boyfriend Scarlett, let alone a husband. And even if it was true Scarlett, you can do better than him.”"Funny," Julian said, his voice light but his gaze cold as ice. He sneered, "I was just thinking the same thing about you. What makes you think my wife would be into some old man with no sense of style?"Mr. Seth straightened his suit, fuming at Julian for daring to insult him while he wore a ten thousand dollar suit. "What do you mean? Don't speak nonsense, or you'll regret it. Do you have any idea how much this suit costs?" He arrogantly straightened up his suit against. He might look ridiculous, but it was

  • The Invisible Heir   Disrespect and retaliation

    Julian stared at Mr. Seth, his eyes narrowing with a coldness. The way the old, pot bellied man was speaking to him was already getting on his nerves. It wasn’t just the words that came out of his mouth, it was the disdain in his voice, the smug superiority oozing from every glance.‘This guy thinks he’s better than me.’ Julian thought to himself. His lips parted, ready to speak and let him know who he was.“.....”But before Julian could say a word, Mr. Seth raised a finger in the air, silencing him like a misbehaving child.“Shh,” Seth said, his grin sharp and mocking. “Don’t speak unless spoken to, boy.” His eyes glinted with amusement as if he'd just delivered the punchline to a hilarious joke.He knew he was being disrespectful, but who could stop him? The reason Seth was doing this was because he thought Julian was just maybe a bodyguard for Scarlett but not more than anything. After all, he wasn't dressed like someone who was important.He turned to Scarlett saying, “Ms Lancaste

    Approximately thirty minutes later, they arrived at the headquarters of the company. The company was one of several under the Lancaster business group, and it was run by Scarlett and other relatives, including Victor and Amara, who served as key figures and held important positions.Julian stepped out of the Porsche, closing the door behind him as he took in the opulent look of the building ahead of him.Sometime later, Scarlett and Julian entered the building, their arrival immediately getting the attention of several curious staff members.Whispers spread quickly through the office. It was understandable that they were this surprised; everyone knew Scarlett didn’t have a boyfriend. Although she had many rich suitors trying to win her heart, she had always turned them down. She was known to be undateable.It was a surprise to see her walking into the office today with a man, and not just any man, he was strikingly handsome. Who was this guy walking beside her?A few employees exchang

    Scarlett started the car's engine and started driving off, then she turned to glance at him, her expression serious. "I’m having a meeting with some people at the office today, and I want you to keep up your role as my fake husband.”Julian’s brow lifted in mild surprise. He didn’t like the sound of that. He’d only agreed to pretend to be her husband in front of her family or Nolan. But now she wanted him to play the part everywhere? Absolutely not. If she was someone else he would be thinking that she was looking for an excuse to keep him around. But this was Scarlett he was dealing with, and although had only met her less than a week ago, he already could tell what type of person she was. She was just as indifferent to him as much as he was.“Thought I was only supposed to play the fake husband part in front of your family and Nolan?” he said, his voice carrying some skepticism.“Well, technically, we are married, so it’s not exactly fake,” Scarlett shot back, giving him a sharp c

    Just then, Scarlett came down the stairs from her room and found Julian and the others seated. Landon was still laughing at Julian, throwing out derogatory comments, but she paid him no mind. Her attention was focused on Julian, who dared to come late after she told him to be here in an hour, and that was four hours ago.Clarissa stood up the moment she spotted her daughter. "Scarlett, we've had enough! This marriage needs to end, and it needs to end now. I know he might have told you somethings that made you fall for him, but they were all lies," she declared, her voice sharp with finality. Lila, Scarlett's older sister, joined in. “I second Mom, sis. This whole thing has been a joke from the start. You deserve someone better, someone who can actually offer you a future, not….” She paused, taking in his look as she scowled as if she was looking at something disgusting,” A peasant like him.” Not even the fact that he was dressed in expensive outfits made them see him as less disgust
