The Invisible Heir A new morning
Julian felt a little lighter this morning, despite everything that was going on. While it wasn’t the first time he’d spent a night with a woman, last night had felt different. More genuine than when he was with Claire, and one of the best nights he’d had, yet.“Hey…” Jasmine murmured, blinking sleepily as she looked at Julian sitting up beside her. Her memory of the events from the night before came rushing back, and her cheeks flushed a soft pink."Hey, morning," Julian replied with a warm smile, his gaze lingering on her as she lay beside him. He couldn’t help but take in how beautiful she looked, the soft morning light accentuating her features. Never in his wildest dreams had he imagined being here with Jasmine, someone he had always admired from a distance. She had always been stunning to him, but now, lying next to him, she was more real, more captivating than he ever thought possible.Jasmine shifted slightly, pulling the covers tighter around herself as she sat up. She glanc

Julian faked a smile, nodding. “Yes, Scarlett. Is she around?” He asked.“Yes, she is. I’m sure Scarlett will be happy to see you, dear. You know, we were wrong to doubt her. We should have trusted her judgment about you.” Clarissa acknowledged. If she had known about Julian sooner, she would have been nicer to him.Julian just nodded weakly, the sudden change in their attitude was disorienting. Gone were the mocking tones, the snide remarks, they were treating him with a level of respect and politeness that was almost jarring.“Why don't you take a seat, dear?”Clarissa stepped closer, her smile never faltering as she took him by the hand and led him to sit down on the plush sofa,“We’re so glad you’re here, Julian. Please, make yourself comfortable.” Lila stood up, her posture overly polite, “Would my favorite brother in law like anything to drink or eat?” She asked, her tone warm, almost too eager to please, as if she were hosting an honored guest rather than someone they’d once dis

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

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

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
Last Updated : 2024-12-18The 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
Last Updated : 2024-12-19The Invisible Heir Delusional Seth
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
Last Updated : 2024-12-19The Invisible Heir Seth's Threat's
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,

The Invisible Heir Their names
The room fell into stunned silence. Even Betty, who had seemed so sure of herself moments ago, suddenly looked uneasy after hearing Julian's words.Why was he taking her side? Did she already manage to make him fall in love for her? Betty was jealous.“That witch,” Betty muttered under her breath, her hatred for Athena deepening. “I won’t let her get away with this.”Athena shot Julian a quick glance, surprised that he would speak out for her. Was he defending her or what? She couldn’t tell, but either way, she was grateful.Julian stepped closer to Athena, his towering presence impossible to ignore. “For the record,” he said, his voice calm, “Athena didn’t promise me anything. I’m here because she told me, this family shares the same interests as me.” Athena seized the moment. “You heard him,” she said, her confidence growing. “So maybe instead of throwing around baseless accusations, you should focus on why we’re really here.”Betty’s lips tightened, but she didn’t respond, only be
The Invisible Heir Julian Defends Athena
Betty's sharp and mocking laugh didn't go unnoticed by the others. Julian couldn't help frowning slightly when he noticed this. It seemed like Athena and her mother were seen as outsiders by their only family, he felt sorry for her.“Oh, please, just shut up.” Betty sneered. “Don’t act like you actually convinced him with your so-called ‘skills.’ Everyone knows you couldn't negotiate, even if your own life was on the line. So tell us, Athena, what exactly did you promise Julian Blackwood to get him to come here?”“Or better yet,” Betty added, her lips curling into a smirk, “what did you offer him?” Julian's eyes grew colder. Was the woman accusing Athena of sleeping with him to make him agree to this meeting?Athena frowned. She knew exactly that Betty was implying that she had offered herself to Julian in exchange for him agreeing to come here. Not only her, but everyone else in the room seemed to think that now. A few murmurs erupted through the room, fueling the accusation. Some
The Invisible Heir Crosswell Family
Sometime later, after freshening up and changing into a fresh set of clothes, Julian followed Athena in silence, his mind thinking about the consequences of agreeing to this unexpected meeting. Was he making a mistake in trusting her? He wasn’t sure if he trusted her or he should trust her at all, but the idea of an ally, someone who shared his enemy, was too tempting to pass up.After getting outside the hotel, a luxurious limousine accompanied by a few cars was parked outside waiting for Athena. Her driver, a burly man dressed in a suit , opened the door for her and she entered the vehicle along with her two bodyguards.Julian didn't hesitate, and followed her, having already made up his mind. The vehicle started moving. The drive was short. On the road, Athena had attempted to start some conversations, throwing out bits of small talk, but Julian wasn’t having any of it. He answered her first few questions with short, clipped responses before falling completely silent.Athena se
The Invisible Heir Lady from the Crosswell family
Before he could speak, she stepped past him without hesitation, her heels clicking against the marble floor as if she owned the place.The two women she had with her followed suit, flanking her and with practiced steps.Julian blinked, caught off guard. His frown deepened as he watched them walk past him without a second glance. Who the hell did she think she was? Walking into his hotel just like that? Agitation creeped up his spine.He hadn’t even had the chance to ask her to stop or invite her in. What was her game?The audacity of it all rubbed him the wrong way. She was treating his space like it was hers, and that didn’t sit well with him."Excuse me?" Julian snapped, his voice cold as he turned to face her. "What the hell do you think you’re doing?"She didn’t stop. Instead, she walked further into the room, pausing only to glance around briefly before turning to meet his eyes.“Nice place,” she said casually, as though they’d known each other for years. “I hope you don’t mind.”
The Invisible Heir Made a deal with the enemy?
“Why do you suspect that?” Julian asked.Jasper replied, "We suspect that, because how did they manage to get a hold of your old family home?" Jasper added, his voice filled with suspicion.“I thought the mansion was auctioned off by someone in the Blackwood consortium?” Julian asked.He’d always assumed that’s what had happened, but now that he said it out loud, it didn't sound so convincing, even to himself. Why would the Blackwood consortium ever sell his family home? What purpose could there be? It was not like they lacked funds.“No, it wasn’t auctioned off. They made your grandfather give up the home that night.” Jasper’s words dropped like a bomb making Julian even more shocked. “And it was later given to Gabriel by the people who murdered your family as a gift....I think, according to the information I have acquired.” Julian’s mind spinned. His family’s mansion… given as a gift? To some Gabriel, Isadora's husband?“Do you know who those people are?” Julian asked, his voice ti
The Invisible Heir Mysterious Lady
“I think it’s time you started explaining,” Julian said, his voice commanding and authoritative as he stepped closer. “What the hell is going on, Vera? And don’t tell me it’s complicated. I need answers.” he demanded.Vera gave a small nod, and said softly,“That’s exactly why I brought you here. There are things I know about your parents’ murder, things you need to hear.”Julian blinked, momentarily caught off guard by her sudden willingness to talk. “Okay, I'm all ears.” he said, waiting for her to start spilling everything she knew out.Just then, the old man beside Vera finally spoke, his tone serious. “But first, let’s make one thing clear, Master Julian.”Julian turned to him, his sharp gaze sizing up the stranger. Who was this man, really? He looked very familiar, especially now that Julian stood closer, but he still couldn’t quite place the face. He looked familiar, yet unfamiliar at the same time.There was something in the man’s looks that reminded him of Vera. For example t
The Invisible Heir Not safe for Julian
Turning back to Marcus as he was being dragged outside, his voice icy and final, Adrian spoke. “Everything is called off. You can forget about marrying my granddaughter. You are no longer welcome in this house.”He was doing everything in his power to make sure Julian's anger eased on him and he wouldn't face any consequences for his earlier disrespect. After Marcus was kicked out of the house, Adrian turned to Julian, beads of sweat still on his forehead as he continued to ask for Julin to show some mercy..Isadora, Claudia, and Elysia watched nervously, unsure of how Julian would respond. The future of their family lay in his hands, and that terrified them when they thought about it.But in truth, Julian had already decided he wouldn’t do anything to harm the Vespera family.The other members of the family had been good to him ever since he arrived, so what kind of man would he be if he destroyed them over Adrian’s mistake? No, Julian wasn’t that kind of person.Besides, Julian nee
The Invisible Heir Cancelled engagement
Marcus continued, dismissive and too arrogant. “I think we shouldn’t waste another second entertaining this. Let my men handle him,” “Marcus, you idiot, keep your mouth shut for once if you know what's best for you and your family.” Isadora finally had it with Marcus and his reckless arrogance so she spoke up. Marcus was stunned after hearing the way she just spoke to him. Never in his wildest thoughts had he imagined that Isadora Vespera, his future mother-in-law, who had always treated him so kindly like a king, would snap at him like that. She didn't just snap at him, but she had also just called him an ‘idiot,’ all because of Julian, a man who was clearly not on his level. Marcus's face turned red with anger. “You’re seriously taking his side? Over me?” he demanded, glaring at Isadora in disbelief. “I might be your future son-in-law, but I will not tolerate such disrespect from you. I demand you apologize immediately, or I'll call off my engagement with Claudia.” Isadora di
The Invisible Heir In his defense
“Grandfather, you’re back so early,” Elysia said quickly, her voice carrying a hint of surprise as her gaze shifted to the figure who had just entered the room, along with two men, his security guard and a butler, flanking him.The man who had just arrived was none other than Adrian Vespera, the patriarch of the Vespera family, and Claudia and Elysia’s grandfather.Adrian's eyes were cold, as they swept over the scene, immediately landing on Marcus, whose fists were still clenched, and Julian, who stood unfazed but clearly prepared for whatever came next.Adrian’s expression darkened when he saw this: The soon-to-be son-in-law of the Vespera family was moments away from getting into a physical altercation, with some stranger, no less.Marcus was soon to be family, and as the patriarch, it was Adrian’s responsibility to protect the family’s honor.He could not and would not spare anyone who dared to disrespect his family, especially in his own home.“What’s going on here?” Adrian’s voic
