Missing Heir

J felt a warm body close to her but she didn't fret instead she moved closer to feel more of that warmth. She didn't know why but she liked that feeling, that warmth, and smell.

As she was gaining consciousness, she realized that she is lying in someone's chest and that someone is hugging her. She slowly opened her eyes and saw Jacob asleep while cuddling her.

She wondered how they got in that position. She tried to remember what happened.

At last, she remembered that his parents came then followed by Jacob. Jacob sent her to bed then she didn't know what happened next because she was so tired and fell asleep.

She looked again at Jacob's face. He is breathtakingly handsome. She loved to stare at him while he was asleep. As much as she wanted to be happy that this guy is her husband, she can't. If only she was a different person, an ordinary one.

If only, the situation is not as complicated as it was.

If only, she is not Jenny Do.

Jacob woke up to see J staring at him with regret in her face but it soon faded away when she noticed that he was already awake.

J and Jacob didn't move or changed their position. They were silent. J being close to Jacob's chest can even hear his heartbeat.

They stared at each other for a couple of minutes until Jacob finally spoke, "You're awake."

"Mmm..." J replied then nodded her head. She moved to get up from bed but Jacob didn't let her go. She frowned at him, but Jacob closed his eyes and said, "Just a couple of minutes more."

To her surprise, she didn't protest. She just closed her eyes and let Jacob hold her in his arms. Since she met Jacob, she sometimes didn't understand herself.

"I'm sorry about my mom...about what she said this morning," Jacob speaks again with his eyes still closed.

J didn't open her eyes instead she said, "It's fine. I don't mind."

"She was just furious, she knows that I'm already married and thought I was playing with you. They know about you but didn't know it was you. I didn't tell them yet that I found you already." Jacob continued explaining this time he opened his eyes and met J's.

J didn't say anything instead she stood up, this time Jacob let her go. She looked at the clock at the bedside table. It was already past six in the evening. She went to the kitchen to prepare dinner while Jacob went to check on the golden retrievers.

J was torn. Her heart is betraying her. She wanted this to last but she knows she can't. She can't let Jacob into her life. She is not sure if he can accept her if he found out the truth about her. The truth that she cannot tell him.

They had dinner together then J prepared to go to the hospital for her duty. Jacob was left in the apartment. He cannot sleep probably because he fell asleep this morning. And these past few days without J beside him, he had a hard time falling asleep. It's as if they have been together for a long time that he got used to sleeping and woke up with J beside him.

So, he went into the living room and opened his laptop, but an idea came up in his mind. He hurriedly gets dressed and rushed to the hospital. Since he can't sleep why not work tonight then sleep with J tomorrow morning?

The next morning when J came home, she was surprised to see Jacob in his house clothes and preparing breakfast. She didn't ask, instead, she went into the bedroom and changed her clothes until she heard Jacob call her for breakfast.

After breakfast, she went to take a quick warm shower then went to bed. But she saw Jacob lying in bed and preparing to sleep. This time J can't help but ask, "Aren't you going to work?"

"I worked all night at the hospital. I just came home." After Jacob said that he yawned then closed his eyes.

J was left puzzled. Did he just say he worked all night and just got home? Why would he do that?

....

On the 30th floor of a high-rise building, a short plump man in his business suit sat in a recliner with his eyes closed with his hands busy playing a rubber ball when he heard footsteps running towards the office.

The door swung open revealing a man in his early thirties wearing a rugged shirt and pants, his hair a bit messy, his face filled with cold sweats.

"CEO Wang! Bad news..." the man said panting.

The man in the recliner frowned and opened his eyes waiting for the man to speak.

"The container van was hijacked," The man in a rugged shirt said anxiously.

"What?" CEO Wang immediately stood up seething in anger. "How many?" He asked.

"All of it." The man in the rugged shirt said as he lowered his head.

"You fucking asshole! Ten container vans were hi-jacked and you didn't do anything?" CEO Wang was angry and threw the rubber ball at the man but the latter managed to dodge it.

"I-I'm sorry boss, b-but the hijackers were professionals. W-we didn't notice it until we reached the warehouse and found out that the containers were empty," the man in the rugged shirt stuttered as he explained.

CEO Wang clenched his fist as he looked out the window and said, "It's them..." Hijacking a container van is challenging enough but ten container vans at once without any trace is another story. It was close to impossible but CEO Wang knows one group that dares to defy the impossible like they always do.

"W-what do you mean boss? Did you know who did it?"

"Robin Hood Society..." CEO Wang said with his eyes filled with darkness.

"R-robin Hood Society? But boss, their leaders died twenty years ago, their daughter was nowhere to be found. The founder died five years ago. The group was in a mess, there is no way they could have done this." The rugged man was perplexed.

"They are still around and operational. There are reports that some businesses and organization has been invaded by the Robin Hood Society. Although no one confirmed it because of the news that it was already dissolved since their leaders died. But I believe that they are still working underground silently. There is no way anyone can hi-jack my container vans without any trace. It's only them who could do that. Because they've done that to me a long time ago." the Boss said with a sense of vengeance.

After a long tense filled silence, the rugged man spoke again. "Boss, what should we do?"

"Find Robin Hood Society's heiress." CEO Wang said with an eye of malevolence. If their leaders were already dead yet the group is still operational, there could only be one person who leads them. The founder's only heir has been missing for twenty years now.

Inside a black pickup truck, a woman is waiting in the driver's seat while tapping her fingers on the steering wheel. She is wearing jeans, a black shirt, and a leather jacket. She had a remarkable black mole at the corner of her left eye.

The door of the passenger seat opened then a rugged man entered and gave off a heavy sigh.

"Bart, how did it go? What did he say?" the girl asked the rugged man in a snappy tone.

"He wants us to find Robin Hood Society's heiress," Bart said helplessly

The woman was flustered and said, "Who the hell is Robin Hood?"

"It's not who, what...I don't know. What or who, but the point is how are we going to find someone that has been missing for 20 years now. He could be dead or doesn't even exist. Fuck!"
