Today, in just the fourth week of Steemit Challenge 24, I will be creating the rest of @waqarahmadshah's story "Wordsmiths Fiction Week 4: The Family Secret | Steemit Challenge Season 24". I hope everyone enjoys it.

Julie sat quietly after reading the will and wondered who this Jeremy person was. She remembered her father's personal relationship and why he hid this boy from them. Since the will mentioned 3 children, Julie had already figured out that her father had married another person without their knowledge, and one of the children in that house was named Jeremy.

However, Julie and her brother Christopher are siblings. Julie told her brother Christopher everything on her mobile phone, and Christopher was also disappointed after hearing everything.

Julie's father saw the children equally and distributed his share of the property among them. However, her father was an honest man, and he did not deprive his other child of his rightful property.

Meanwhile, Julie's family's financial condition is very miserable, so they need this property a lot; they are planning to sell it.

The next day, his brother actually decided to meet his stepbrother Jeremy at the P.O. Box address. Upon reaching the address, they saw a beautiful and luxurious house. Jeremy came down from above and asked about them.

Jeremy - Who are you? Who are you looking for?

In response, Julie's brother Christopher said - We are Mr. Michael's children (Julie's father's name is Michael)

Jeremy was a little surprised, and he looked at them for a while. Although Jeremy was younger than them. Jeremy's mother came out of the next door, and she knew everything, but she never told her son Jeremy anything; Jeremy only knew his father's name.

His mother could not recognize Julie and Christopher by sight, but she and Jeremy could understand by their father's name.

Jeremy's mother was a little arrogant when she talked about Julie and Christopher's property and current financial situation. Because Julie's father, Jeremy's mother, had a reason to come out of many difficult situations in the past and has become very successful today. Jeremy didn't know about his inheritance.

Jeremy said - Let's see the will.

Julie gave the will.

After Jeremy and his mother read the entire will, the pride towards his father was completely gone, and Jeremy's eyes were filled with tears. That's the situation, they forgot all the pride they knew.

Julie's intention is that they will sell this house. But since Jeremy's name is there, they will not be able to sell it.

Julie said - Jeremy, brother, since you are our brother and your father himself has passed on the property, we cannot take this property without your approval, and we are in a lot of need.

Jeremy began to understand their pain after hearing Julie's words. Jeremy said Okay, I am with you, but what is the proof that you are my half-siblings? Then Julie and Christopher were a little disappointed, and they kept trying to understand that they were their half-siblings.

Jeremy said - I have one condition, I have to do a DNA test with you and identify it. Do you have any objections?

Julie and Christopher agreed.

That day, they went to the hospital and did a DNA test, and the next day, when the test results were given, they saw that they were the children of the same father. After this was identified, Julie and her brother Christopher had tears in their eyes. Because if they did not agree with Jeremy, the property could not be sold, and their financial situation would be very bad.

Jeremy said - This property cannot be sold. Everyone was surprised to hear this.

Julie said, Brother, you have identified us and know everything, so why are you doing this to us.

Jeremy said - I am Mr. Michael's child, and my father was an honest man. I do not want to sell my father's property as my father's child. And my mother has always taught me what is right and true, so I don't want my brother and sister to sell our father's last property today due to financial shortage. Then my father's honesty and the teachings given by my mother will be in vain.

Now Jeremy said crying, so I will write down all my father's property to you, and there is only one condition that you cannot sell it. Because it is my father's memory. And I will solve all your financial problems because I am your brother. Just accept me as your brother.

I have not received your father's love since birth, this mother is my father and everything. I have found you after many years, so I don't want to let you go. Accept me as your brother and love me like a younger brother. (Crying)

Everyone started crying after hearing Jeremy's words, Julie and Christopher could not bear it anymore and upon hearing his words, love unknowingly came out of their hearts, they ran and hugged Jeremy and Julie kept crying and saying - Jeremy, my brother, from today I am your brother and sister and I will always be by your side. You also forgive us and my father. Because you had to grow up with a lot of pain.

Finally, Jeremy's mother wiped away her tears and said, "Your father told us to stay away from your family, so we've been away from you all this time, but from today on, we'll all be together."
