Married To My Billionaire Stepbrother

Chapter 101: Scandal Queen Natalie prepared breakfast for them while Justin watched the early morning news.

The reporter's voice echoed through the TV- When every company, not just in the Imperial city but in the entire country were trying to grab a deal with NextEra technologies, the only company which managed to successfully grab the deal was the Harper group. Once more the Harper group has proven that if they decide to enter a particular sector, then no other company stands a chance in front of them.

The company gives the credit of this to their newly appointed Global CEO of Harper Group Justin Harper, who we all are waiting for his official appointment as the one. The entire business world is waiting to meet him and finally get to know who this distinguished young CEO is. News is that he is back in the country, but there is yet no movement from Harper group on revealing him to the public.

Natalie, who was bringing the breakfast to the table, commented, "Quite a mystery, huh, Mr Justin Harper? You do enjoy it, don't you." "I don't like to be in the limelight, unlike someone who enjoys it very much, creating scandals at every breath they take," he replied coolly.

Thud! Natalie angrily put the pot on the breakfast table at his sarcastic remark, but said nothing.

He smirked playfully, feeling her anger even from a distance and continued watching.

Another mysterious person, The CEO of the NextEra is said to be the Imperial city. It is said he personally signed the deal with the CEO of Harper group.

"You met him?" Natalie asked as she sat next to Justin to watch the news as well.

"You can say that," Justin replied, his attention focussed on the news.

The mysterious man who spent two billion for a dance with our Scandal Queen Natalie Ford, everyone is now predicting that he is none other than the CEO of NextEra Tech.

Natalie gritted her teeth. "Scandal Queen? How dare they?" "That's a suitable name, indeed," Justin sounded serious.

Ssay that person is Adam Summers and ssay he is the CEO of NextEra Tech. No one can confirm anything yet. As we cannot reach these two men, maybe our Scandal Queen, Natalie Ford could answer it.

"Once again a scandal Queen?" She picked up the remote to throw it at the TV, but Justin held her hand to stop her.

"You..let go..." Justin continued to hold her hand while he glared at the TV screen where the images of Natalie and Victor flashed on the screen along with news.

The scandal Queen loves to be with rich, young, handsmen. We wonder how she knows all of them? Adam Summer, CEO of NextEra or our superstar Victor Ried. Next news might cout as she even knows another mysterious figure, Justin Harper.

"What the hell are they talking about?" Natalie frowned, wanting to strangle that reporter. "Other than Victor..." "How do you know him?" she heard Justin ask, his grip on her hand tightened.

"I happen to know him by chance." "And you happened to ignore the warning I gave you the other day?" She realised what she was worried about was finally happening. The calmness she felt from him last night was just a silence before the storm. "T-That's a friendly hug...." "I don't allow it," he declared.

She moved her gaze from TV to him, clearly angry, "Oh, so you are angry at a friendly hug?" something inside her snapped, "How about when I danced with an unknown man so closely for the entire ten minutes. You didn't say anything about that." Sensing the mocking from her, which felt like she was challenging him, he looked back at her. "He saved you from the humiliation, so he is forgiven." Her lips curved into a mocking smirk. "Alright so if a man savesfrom humiliation, he is allowed to do anything with me, is it?" Justin's gaze deepened. He tugged her hand with a force and pulled her closer, making her slam against him. She tried to move back, but his other hand circled her waist, her body pressed against his as she balanced herself with resting her free hand against his shoulders.

This position reminded her of that night in the hospital when she fell on him when he was sleeping on the couch. She gulped, "What are you doing?" "Trying to get rid of the traces of where other men have touched you." Keeping his gaze locked with hers, his hand moved around her waist, slow and steady. "Here?" Then his hand moved along her back, "Here?" Her heart beating faster, she felt the warmth of his palm on her skin, her breath shallow. "Are you trying to be intimate with me?" She breathed out, trying to mock him, "Hmm?" His hand froze in a place, "Can I?" This man, he didn't even deny, but instead...

"I am married." She reminded him.

He remained unfazed as if her being married was the least of his worries. His gaze observing her beautiful face closely. "I don't see anyone by your side. The coward who left you like this, doesn't deserve you anymore." Once again, his hand started to move, only to have the back of his fingers stressing along the crook of her neck, "I saw his chin touching you here when he hugged you." Goosebumps rose to her skin, unable to resist him. "Why are you doing this to me..." "What?" "Seducing me." "Is it really working?" 'Of course it is working, you damn seducer.' she screamed inside, not being able to be free from his strong body.

"Do you always seduce women like this?" she snapped, her tone mocking.

He shook his head lightly. "Only you, the fortunate one." "When my husband shows up, he might not like what you are doing." "I won't let him return." "Then do you want to be my husband in his place?" He raised a brow, not a tinge of hesitation in him. "Do you wantto?" She frowned at how he always answered with another question. She tried to calm herself. 'This man is dangerous, just want to tease me.' "Stop teasingand letgo," she pushed against his chest and this tJustin let her go.

She immediately stood up and spat out, "If you want to live in this house, follow the rule I told you on your first day here, especially the one that said- No touchingat all." He remained unfazed, sitting comfortably as he stretched his hands along the back of the sofa, like a king, "I bet you would want to break that rule on your own."

Don't waste my food is "Eat this "We will see." She went to the breakfast table and said, "Eat You are not the one who pays for all this," she said and thought, 'A rich freeloader.'

Justin stood up from his place, "I can tell your husband is useless who does nothing for livinggo Kam giving you a practice of handling hsingle handedly and bearing with a freeloader husband of yours, Mr Aiden Handrix." "That's none of your business. Eat quietly or throw your portion in the dustbin." Justin chuckled and sat to eat. Only if he knew that today he just called himself a coward and a freeloader husband.

Both left for their works, in their own cars, not knowing what they had been hiding till now, was going to be exposed. Today was not the best day of their life.
