"Being married to you means the world to me. Don't worry about my family, they knew, and they were much eager to protect you. I don't care if my life would be in danger as long as you are safe. My life is not normal without you in it. Ah… what was the last one?" Jacob stopped and rubbed his chin trying to remember J's last word before he interfered.

"Ah! Right!" Jacob's eyes gleamed when he seemed to remember. "I was so glad that your grandfather dragged me into this messy and complicated life of yours. Because if he didn't, I would be forcing myself into your life, even if you don't want to."

"Was I able to answer all your questions, Mrs. Jacob Parker?" Jacob asked, emphasizing how he addresses J as Mrs. Jacob Parker indicating that whoever she is, she would still be his wife.

At the age of 10, J's parents died in an ambush leaving her in the care of her grandfather who years later sent her away along with her best friend to hide her and her identity from those who would try to kill her after her parents.

20 years later, a lot of things had already happened. Her grandfather died. She is back in the country for good though still hiding her identity. Everything was peaceful until a man came claiming her as his wife.

Since then, her peaceful life flipped upside down. People who want her dead found her but his so-called husband never left her. He was even willing to kill and be killed just to protect her.

The Society's Heiress

"You sure have a lot of trouble coming out of your sleeves," Jacob said, amused at J's calm expression. After what they found out, she was still calm.

"Mm... hmm... " J replied not looking at him. She was playing with the swivel chair.

"What are you thinking?" Jacob asked her suspiciously.

J raised her head and looked at him impassively then she supported her chin with her palm on the table. "I heard that Alex Ogden is quite good-looking and most importantly not a playboy."

After hearing that, Jacob's expression slowly turned grim. "Why is this issue coming up again Mrs. Parker?" he asked, trying hard to control his anger.

J looked at him with an icy stare, her lips pressed together and her breathing turning deep. She gritted her teeth before saying, "Last night, while you were asleep the other girlfriend called you."
